I could have told you that !! Lots of tourists in Va. Beach, and the
French are the absolute worst ! I would rate the Canadians as #1,
as far as being polite...

Ha that is funny!

Get ready for someone to come in here and get all mad though! No names are needed I am sure.

What you're saying Adler, is that someone is gonna come here, and get their knickers in a bundle?

DerAdlerIstGelandet · 07-07-2008, 02:05 PM

It would not surprise me.

The folks from India and Pakistan area are very demanding and cheap , the Japanese are awesome just don't confuse them with Koreans and and Chinese but the ones I disliked dealing with as pushy and rude were the Israelis

I've been a tourist as well and people must have commented on the moron from Ontario driving, here is just goofy as most people do not know where they are or going or where they've been and the amount of the tourists at one time enhances my driving

I've developed a trick .Usually at an intersection or cross walk you tend to make eye contact with the opposing driver. I don't
so they have no clue as to my intentions and usually cede to me

I think it depends on where you live and the amount of tourists you get from what countries.

If I had to pick the worst 5 that come to Germany it would be:

1. USA
2. France
3. Italy
4. England
5. Turkey

The reason I would pick the USA as first (and remember I am an American) is because around here they really are loud, they demand that everyone speaks english to them, and frankly they are rude. Of course this is not all of them, but a large percentage of them. I do not think it is the American tourists per say but mostly the US soldiers that are here.

The reason I would pic France is because frankly they are rather loud, demand that everyone speak there lovely french. Again this is not all French though.

The Italians and English for pretty much the same thing, but not as bad as the top two.

The Turks well you will just have to live here to understand. As a matter of fact if the US was ranked as 10 (10 being the worst) then Turkey in place 5 would be 9.1.

Hold on a mo Chris We hardly win any sports these days cant we at least get gold in the Olympic free style tourist event. Benidorm mid summer with the all England slob family, all wanting fish and chips cause they "dont like that foreign muck". Turning bright red as they cant count over 10 on the sun screen bottles and calling every Spanish waiter Manuel.
I get on well with most people, been to our German equipment suppliers in Koblenz a couple of times via Frankfurt Hahn and we all had a great time.
Wife and I have friends in Wenatachee WS.Torres Cabrera in Sierra Nevada (Spain) & a few other places.
Turks (and I have worked with quite a few) I am not very keen on.
I would'nt say the Americains are that bad as tourists they can be a bit undiplomatic and call a spade a spade but as long as they dont mind it back no problem, very much the same as Yorkshire folk in the UK.
On the whole I find most tourists ok. Its the ones who say, in my country they would'nt do this, that or the other, then I want to slap them straight in the mooee (sorry) gob hole.

My first choice if I had to pick one would be the Saudies they really do think every Western girl is willing to **** for ten quid when the visit the UK

I agree with you completely. My post was not to imply that all Brits were bad tourists. I myself have never met a Brit I did not like.
