Okay, like a lot of other
mongrel-American
s I'm part
German
, but I've gotta say, whether it's
San Francisco
,
Tokyo
,
Shanghai
,
Lhasa
, or
Bangkok
, German
tourists
are the rudest, most obnoxious tourists on the face of the planet. They shove, curse, and trample, because you are In Their Way and this is Their Planet, after all. Or something. All I can say is, never have a
shoving match
in
Tibet
with a German tourist over a
luggage cart
, because even if he has to beat you over the head with his
matched leather luggage
, he'll win.

I spent two and a half months in and around
Paris
with a family there. When I was living with my family I began to assimilate to the
culture
which caused all of the
tourist
s to stand out more to me. I became infamous for saying "I am NOT a tourist, I am a
traveler
" when I was amidst friends and family. I was embarrassed by the
Americans
in most cases, cut-off by the hordes of
Japanese tourists
but just frustrated by the
Germans
who seemed to be completely unaware of the people that were around them. They were
loud
and dominating. I have nothing against specific groups, I have just come to the conclusion that tourism brings out the worst part of all cultures. (ie our spending habits and clothing: bermuda shorts, I love Paris shirt, baseball cap and camera)
