One day I'm going to stand out front of Melbourne airport, like Essendon or which ever with a sign saying "Crocodiles wrestling, Roo riding and Koala drop kicking, tour bus this way!" with a random arrow, and just change the direction every now n then and just have a massive amount of confused lost tourists looking for a shuttle that's going to take them to Kangaroos ahahaha.
oh, side note, my friend moved to Kentucky and shes made all the fools out there believe we have Shrimp barbecues for lunch, that Aussies ride kangaroos to school and for every friday's P.E class we wrestle crocodiles.
I was on a Geography school trip to the coast, so me and my friends were standing around with clipboards and maps. This guy comes up to us (obviously foreign)
Guy: You guys, lost?
Me: No we're just on a school trip.
Guy: You want... Pier? (We were right in front of the pier)
Me: We're alright thanks.
Guy: Do you know, marina? (Marina is about 5-10 miles down the coast)
Me: Yes it's down that way, it's pretty far.
Guy: OK thank you.
He proceeded to walk off down the beach. I was REALLY confused.

I like it when they ask me for directions. They pull up in their big flash car, with an expression of anxiety on their poor troubled tourist faces.
I already know what they're going to say, even before they open their mouth and ask me how to get somewhere, usually mispronouncing the name. I love seeing their happy faces when I send them on their way with a vague idea of how to get to their destination, and I bask in their gratitude
Thats for tourists from my own country at least ( or are they just called holidaymakers?) I don't have much experience of foreigners, they rarely, make it up to the hills where I live

Why would you purposely lie to tourists? That's just lame.
I've met some incredibly nice people from Japan, Norway, England, Egypt and Germany.
They were all cool and really interesting. The two German ladies came into where I worked. One had gone off to get something and I asked the other one if she needed any help, she responded in German--turns out only the other one spoke English. And so I stumbled through with her in German. It was pretty cool.

i dont know if this counts but I was sailing into Bar Harbor Maine (USA) from Stave island about maybe 10 miles into the bay area. So I'm on this sail boat (21 foot) with about 7 other people and all of a sudden the fog rolles in, thick, we couldn't see 90 feet in front of us so we had to dodge all the islands practicaly blind.
So we finaly make it into the harbor and all of a sudden a GIANT French cruise liner apears, this thing is huge compared to our sail boatso we go by and the passengers are getting farried on board so they see us rolling in. So we start having fun and saying " olright, who wants to play Somalie Pirates mates, load the torpedoes you scalliewags." Were just having fun screwing around and these french are laughing and taking pictures. The funny part was one of us were bouie bumping. it's where you hang off the side of the boat like your taking a dump and you hit your butt to a bouie. You can only do this at full tilt which we were doing, we had water coming on board.
So if any of you french guys out there where on the cruise ship in bar harbor on like Julie 14th (I think) then hit me up.

Yeah tourists...well it's hard to tell who they are in Canada. We have people from do many friggin countries you can't tell which ones live here. The only difference is, the tourists are actually interested in what they see. We just sit around looking bored.
I read that in the thickest Irish accent I could immagine and cracked up at it. That was damn funny.Agent Larkin said:
I normally hate the tourists in Alaska, thousands of bumbling idiots who dont know what there doing. My favorite tourist has been my dads freind, picture Clint Eastwood in Gran Turino but with a lighter sense of humor. God he's a blast to hang out with, esspecially when hunting.
