May 17, 201115 yr comment_524872 I get the same shit here. Always the yanks. They get all cranky when they have to get on a boat for a WHOLE HOUR to see the barrier reef. *gasp* Most seem to think you can swandive off the hotel balcony into a Nemo-land. Oh and speaking of Nemo, they get MEGA-cranky if they're unlucky enough to not actually see a clownfish. They complain and want refunds. I'm not kidding. F*ck I hate Americans. Oh oh oh while I'm having a rant... Here's another good one. At LEAST one in five Americans will ask if they're going to get wet if they go white water rafting. Because they'd prefer not to get wet. "Is there any way we can go down the RAGING CASCADING SURGING SPLASHING FAST FLOWING TORRENT OF WHITEWATER whilst staying completely dry?" Yes, yes there is. I can vacuum seal you into a plastic bag with a couple of chunks of styrofoam, and throw you in at the top of the river somewhere. You f*cking moron. Hahaha, that's gold. 7shades I feel your pain. I know only too well. The average American tourist has expectations that are a little unrealistic and/or optimistic at times. Germans run a close second. RELAX your on holiday, now is not the time to stress. The good tourists I feel have every right to complain and NEVER do - The Japanese (God bless em). Years ago I worked for Movieworld on the Gold Coast. My job was a supervisor in one of the tour group restaurants. A typical day for the Japanese tourist started with Seaworld for 2 hours, then to Movieworld for 3 hours (including Lunch), then to Dreamworld for about 2 hours, then off to Brisbane International Airport to fly home. WTF!. Can you imagine the average American/English/Australian tourist doing that. Edited May 17, 201115 yr by clubby2084 Report

Oh man I love the Japanese (for a variety of reasons :P) I've done all sorts of things within the industry, usually driving a bus/coach/4wd and/or guiding, and the Japanese are awesome. They're just so damn appreciative of everything, which is why I try extra hard to make sure they have a great day out. Just doing stupid shit and making them giggle is usually enough to put a smile on their face the whole time :) PS. Germans. Sandals and socks. I knocked it, until I tried it. Its a 1000 year Reich of foot-cosseting comfort I tell you. (not in public though. I don't look German enough to avoid derision or arrest under suspicion of being a pervert) Edited May 18, 201115 yr by 7shades Report
May 18, 201115 yr comment_524972 Oh man I love the Japanese (for a variety of reasons :P) Amen... :yes: In year 9 at high school I went on an exchange program to our sister school in Japan. Upon arrival I discovered that I was the only one who didnt know their host as I'd been unable to accomodate someone on their trip here :( At least it was easy to find them, look for people looking as lost as I was. Their English was basic & my Japanese was worse, however, since charades is the universal language, we managed. For two weeks I was essentially adopted as one of their own & discovered that although their way of life is so different & seemingly strange (their toilets arent THAT bad) compared to our own, it actually works quite well. For instance, despite the fact that niether of us spoke the others language all that well, my new classmates literally dragged me onto the basketball court once they discovered I could play. My classmates who spoke my language were more partial to hurling abuse & the ball at my head *meh* It will get to the point one day where I'm so fed up with this country that I pack my gear & head there, radiation be damned! Think of that kinda stuff happening to Australia & imagine what'd happen to OUR society. :hmm: For instance, put a vending machine that distributes cans of beer or packets of cigarettes (without ANY form of ID check,you could pay cash & not have to use a credit card :blinks:) here in a public place (i.e city centre) & watch how many underage kids beat each other to break into it first. I didnt see this happen in Japan, I'm not saying that Japan's perfect (whaling 'research' anyone?) but how I wish OUR society could pull its head out of it's southern-cross tattooed buttocks & take some tips from a culture (not necessarily Japanese) that has been doing things for hundreds, if not thousands of years longer than we have & with more people? If we can do that, then we can work on changing Americans attitudes :P (better luck with that than raising their IQ levels :wink:) Sorry, I have no idea where that rant came from, I need some work-on-car time :( Edited May 18, 201115 yr by carbonboy Report
