I am at the epicenter of bad tourist behavior myself – lodged uncomfortably between FAO Schwarz and the Apple store. I rarely leave my bldg during the day lest I go postal on some family of ETs having their pic taken with the grown men dressed up as soldiers in front of Foxtrot Alpha Oscar. Now THERE’S a career change you might consider, Dirty.
dh…an American friend of mine who lives in Hong Kong was flying into Hong Hong once back in the day when you flew right over the bright lights of the city and could even see all the neon signs.
Some American tourists were on the plane and one of them saw the signs and said “That must be Chinatown.”
WonTon..you remember that approach to Kai Tak??? Wasn’t that the best????
The best is the women who walk around with their hand bag resting on that soft spot on the inside of their elbow with their arm cocked upwards, and doing the same thing with a shopping bad with the other arm (usually from Topshop) – so they are walking around with both arms pointed up. Looks atrocious.
dave, i was going to use the term “abreast” but was afraid of the discussion/comments/puns that might ensue. but since you busted it out [oops] . . . .

One time a tourist asked me where “soho street” was.

Another thing…tourists who wait at the corner for the crossing light to change when there is actually no traffic. Arrrrgggghhhhhhh.

Nothing gets by your sharp mind, beoch, nothing.
