Great article! The tip sheet should be included with every flightticket or visa when entering a country.
My question: Where are the Russians on the list? . I see Russians more and more on my holiday destinations, no mather where you go and they can be very ignorant, loud, oblivious to surroundings, insincere, rude, bigoted, a trifle out of touch with reality.......

Thanks for the link, Jesus. Good article.

There was some good links on the left hand side too. One good article on traveling in the Yucatan, too.

That author's book, Vagabonding, looks interesting too.

Good article, Jesus. I only take exception to one part of it. In my opinion, the average Canadian tourist is only 12 to 15 times more boring than your average American tourist. Now that's your average American tourist. Compared to tourists from Texas, Canadian travellers are at least 100 times more boring.

Those Texas chicas should wear a "warning label."

Isn't that the wildest coincidence?

"...I see [Dutch] more and more on my holiday destinations, no mather where you go and they can be very ignorant, loud, oblivious to surroundings, insincere, rude, bigoted, a trifle out of touch with reality."

Now there's a fine sample of circular logic and rhetorical one-upmanshippin, eh?!
Oh and it looks as though I have been too obsessed with this 'dull parlor game.' It sounds like I need to get away from them yapping hostel lounges.
