Including you? 

I think he's saying they are total wankers but we're worse.

Oh well.

Yet British tourists are held in extremely high regard by those who deal with American travelers.

I've found American tourists can be split into 3 types:
Arrogant, ignorant loudmouths
The interested yet clueless
Canadians

:'(

I got so pissed this one time in undergrad (circa 2003 with Bush at his finest). An American band came to perform at a local venue and naively tried to get a big rise by asking "Are there any Americans in the house? Yay!" You could hear the crickets chirping and then one of my "buddies" (quotation marks intentional) pointed at me and said, "Here he is. This one's an American." Everyone turned and looked at me as I shook my head and denied my nationality. I felt like Simon Peter.

Ok, I generalised... truth is that there is a secret 4th kind of American tourist, but they arent talked of often, in case they give the other types a bad name.

They are the good American tourist, who is respectful of foreign cultures, not arrogant, or clueless... and do exist. I'm guessing even know there'd be fish in the sea.

Australian bogan tourists are worse again, but they can only afford to go to Bali.

Exceptions to every rule, mate. I don't ask questions, I don't bother people, I work from Mike Damone's 5 point plan:

I never let on how much I like a placel.

I always call the shots.

Wherever I am, that's the place to be.

When ordering food, I find out what she wants, and I order for the both of us. It's a classy move.

Finally, and this is most important, when it comes to making out, if at all possible, put on side one of Led Zeppelin IV...

Side 2 is the better side...

Eh?
 

I'll read this thread later ...

Streets like a jungle
So call the police
Following the herd
Down to Greece... on holiday

Love in the nineties
Is paranoid
On sunny beaches
Take your chances... looking for:

Girls who are boys
Who like boys to be girls
Who do boys like they're girls
Who do girls like they're boys
Always should be someone you really love

All tourrists should be hearded around in packs of 12 - 20 from duty free store to duty free store with maybe a stop off at Australia Zoo, like the japanese tourists are over here.

the worst tourists i even had to put up with were the fucking french pricks. i always thought the brits were joking when they were bitching. australians were really noisy and thought everyone loved them and their tips were crap.

INCOMING!!!

INCOMING!!!

absofuckinglutely.

and their tips were crap.

We don't tip here, most Au wouldn't have a fucking clue as to what % to give.

that would explain it.

also, do y'all advertise in the travel brochures that all american women will want to have sex with australians? and that americans are deaf?

Nope, Americans have been stroking Au egos since croc dundee, it's your own damm fault.

 and that americans are deaf?

Are we still allowed to type Bush Jr lines ?

don't blame me for croc dundee, i still think aussies are douchebags like everyone else.


and you can type all the bush jr. lines you like as long as i don't have to listen to midnight oil.

blame you ?  Youre a douchebag ?

ummm, ok.

of course i'm a douchebag. i thought this was established. i'm a douche, he's a douche, dontcha wanna be a douche too?

having the good opinion of americans probably isn't something to brag about.

the opinion or an opinion.

Huge difference.

are you speaking english?

no one has a good opinion of americans.

and i'm pretty sure australia's heading down the same toilet. sorry. people always look for someone new to hate on. y'all just seem so american, but with a different accent. we'll just call you America South, instead of South America, k?

Amerikoalaland.

i think there's supposed to be three k's in there. ... like amerikkkoalaland....

ahh, i see the confusion.

see, I took you to be a fuckwit becuase for some reason you typed "don't blame me for croc dundee". From that point on I just assumed english wasent your first language. Thats why the "opinion" post happened.

ah. totally cleared that up. what?


ah, handy with the edit button. NOW it's clear. i am a fuckwit, it shoulda been "don't blame me for drooling idiots liking paul hogan. " i never met an aussie who wasn't on the verge of a patriotic / xenophobic rant, i call that good times. like americans.

yeah, changing "get" to "be" made ALL the difference.

~blink.

"comma i call that good times period like americans period"

huh ?

y'all just seem so american, but with a different accent.

Speaking as someone who has a pretty good grasp of both Americans and their culture and Brits and their culture, I'd say you're way off. English and Aussie culture is far more similar than American and Aussie culture.

And speaking of being both English and American, I have to say that both of their tourists tend to embarrass me when I encounter them abroad. Americans tend to be completely fucking clueless - it's as if they're trapped in a bubble of ignorance that's impervious to any knowledge that doesn't fit with how things are back home. Brits on the other hand are just complete fucking louts. Loud and aggressive and what's worse is they seem to always travel in giant packs. Yech.
