My friend Chandra in Kolkata loves to tell about an incident involving American tourists in his city. One day he was out and about and saw a group of American tourists on a walking tour with an Indian guide. It was a part of the city where semi-dried cow dung had been fashioned into round cakes, which looked rather like natural cow pats, and stuck to gable ends of buildings and above eye level on high walls to complete the drying process into domestic fuel.

One American lady noticed them and asked the guide: "What are they?"

He replied: "That's cow dung, madam."

She turned to her friend in astonishment and asked: "Gee, how did they shit up there?"

Was that what it is? I was reading that 5 times at least to try and make sense of it ...

Considering the time of year it is (Spanish language student season), I have to say that this particular sub-section of a nationality are my least favourite, by a rather vast margin.

I don't know what plane you take, but it certainly does not take 8 hours from the Eastern coast of the US to Dublin.

I'll never forget touring around Tel Aviv with an American chick who looked up at me from her guidebook when we were in Rabin Square and declared;
"isn't it SO ironic??"
"what?"
"that Rabin got assassinated in his own square"

american tourists are usually well behaved on 'vacation' and respectful to the hosts.

europeans generally are not.

perhaps this has something to do with american's percieving they have a bad reputationa and thus behaving carefully, while europeans generally scoff and sneer at everyone else and are less respectfull.

imo within the eu, the worst tourits are english, german and spanish. But then again I live somewhere were it is mostly young people from those countries who visit.
