Worlds best tourists Anonymous

According to this, the best tourists are the Japanese followed by Americans and then the Swiss.

Do you agree with this?

Yep.

We DO spend money at every opportunity. But yeah, I was kind of confused by that one. I try to avoid even my own compatriots.

Champs-Élysées, 3am, straight out of nowhere: "Dude, do you think there's a Pizza Hut around here?"

I almost hit him. I swear to god.

Yea, Americans. We buy everything, tip all the time, and are generally not as stuck up and ignorant as everyone else like to think.

Being a waiter in NYC is hell whenever you get foreign customers. Even people from Canada and GB have NO fucking idea how to tip, and have complained to me about prices, like I decide that shit.

The Japanese are really nice, but a little annoying. Once I went to St. Pat's for Easter and all the back pews were filled with Japs with cameras.

And Americans are great, whenever I'm in another country I look for them because they'll buy you drinks and they have great stories, sorry it doesn't fulfill your retarded stereotypes.

Well I don't know aboot Canada, but in the UK, we pay our waiters a min of £5.52 per hour (about $11), which is minimum wage. They get tips too, but not as often since they don't rely on it as much. It's not that common in most parts of Europe. Enjoy your $2 per hour.

I made $300-400 a night easily from tips when I was a waiter in college.

Americans often don't have the most interactions with foreign people, and generally have to travel a lot further to get to a different country as well.

So when they go somewhere else, they're really trying to enjoy it and make the most of it. It required a dozen+ hour flight, and is costing thousands of dollars. Chances are, we're not going to do anything like this again for decades.

Some German or Frenchman just had to make a flight or road trip of a few hours. Not as much of a big deal.

These polls are as utterly worthless and self-serving as the UN Human Development Index and you are a fool and a windbag if you believe they have the slightest shred of credibility.

I wish I was paid a lot of money to troll the world. Yeah I'm jealous.

I can accept that this individual poll might be wrong, but what makes you so certain against the validity of a statically proper poll?

I'm an AusFag, it takes me a dozen hours to get to another country, and we're not known as being loud...so that's no excuse.

Besides, you guys can DRIVE to another country...

The UN Human Development Index is perfectly accurate and places your country along other third world shitholes like Brazil or Thailand.

The UN Human Development Index is perfectly accurate way of measuring living standards in the world, since it takes in account literacy, healthcare, poverty, and GDP per capita.

Cry harder.

what's funny about UN-released statistics is, when they like it merkins scream LOOK, THE YOU-ANN RELEASED IT, HOW DARE YOU QUESTION IT, and when they're shown that cuba is better in terms of healthcare they start crying about how UN is worthless and the statistics are all lies anyways...

As an ausfag I can say this is old news. The Okker culture flourishes and is a continuous source of embarrassment to all other ausfags.

I completely agree on the voting for the worst in general. French people were a pain in the ass in each hotel I've been to and I go on holidays for at least 3 times a year.

Which is to say they are about as worthwhile as VH1's Top Blankity Blank Music Videos or Kotaku's Most Such-and-such Video Game of 2007 or anything from Pitchfork.

Nobody arguing about this sort of thing even knows what 'statically proper' (statistically) even is and is just aping the vocabulary of people smarter than him to further his agenda that Country X rules, Country Y drools.

Oh for fuck's sake, I think Amaryta Sen and the entire Economic establishment know better than you.

Of course, a 0.001 difference is not gonna mean anything, but a 0.050 difference will.

The HDI is a crude tool to know which countries are developed and which are not, not to make stupid Amerikkka vs. Yurop competitions.

it's an excellent resource for europe versus america threads. icelanders, australians and norwegians can remind faggots who the three greatest countries are.

americans are decent travelers ... but they are a little reluctant to 'try' other cultures. they're reasonably polite though.

it's the asians i hate ... fucking koreans are cunts when they travel. rudest people eva.

btw, anyone find the original survey?? i went to expedia.com but can't find the spread of countries.
>> Anonymous
you realise that original article is a year old??

i'm sure not much has changed, but that's an outdated survey.

There's a few reasons for that.
1. The locals are Southerners, who are generally very nice.
2. I swear, at least half the Americans in Florida at any given moment are tourists; probably 3/4 in the summer.


On a completely unrelated note, Spanish chicks are incredibly hot. Keep on visiting Boston, I say!

I've met great Americans and some really shitty, obnoxious ones. Hardly any Americans travel though compared to other countries, and when they do they seem to get confused a lot. Still, a lot of them are nice people.

You have to also keep in mind that in general, the term "American" covers a VAST amount of people of different backgrounds/cultures/etc. So generally I just shut up about this because I've met great Americans, lousy ones and all that. Also Americans in "obscure" countries are generally more polite..as they have done much research to get there. I.E. Americans in Slovenia

hit the nail on the head, America is more like countless groupings of separate cultures,California alone has at least four, who use different vernacular and have different culture traditions, the best example of this is the word Hella, if your from Nor Cal it is a staple of life.

Well of course we act like total assholes when we leave or country, because when you live in America you grow to assume the other countries hate you, because they constantly say they do, often for reason that seem ridiculous to you, so you begin to hate them and act like a douche, which leads people from other countries to hate Americans for acting like douches, its a viscous cycle.
