i haven't encountered this myself yet, but the summary from many friends is that some americans think hong kong is in japan. i think japan is about the only asian country they know. those idiots are lucky they haven't asked me, or else i would have slapped them.

I bet these are the same people that think Bangkok is a name of the local ho house.

I once got asked for directions to a place called Dumb-fryz (they actually meant Dumfries!)
Also, apparently Scotland is a county in England. Except that wasn't an observation by American tourists, but by President Bush.

Maybe the moral here is that idiots like to travel in groups.

They probably don't feel quite so stupid among their own kind.

As a patriotic American, I dub thy fatso A MORON and an insult to my people full of fat morons.

*sigh*

Why couldn't America be denser, like Britain? So that way cars would be used lesser and lesser...

My old English teacher met some Americans in Vancouver (sp?) who wanted to know where they could see the Queen.

I also saw an (American) comedien talking about when she was in Sydney [iirc], and was on a tour bus. After one American tourist asked the tour operator why the traffic lights made noises when on red the operator replied "To tell the blind people that it is on red." To which the tourist replied "Well in my country they don't let the blind drive." Apparently after that, she put on her best Jamiacan accent to pretend she wasn't American.

However, I cannot really say I have seen any stupid Americans (loud yes), maybe they are blocked out by the memory of stupid English people I have heard on holiday (which is why I like to flaunt my Dutch passport).

Unfortunately, I have never seen an American tourist or any other tourist from out of the country for that matter say anything stupid. I wish I could though.

Lol man that would be funny to see.

I love telling Americans totally BS made up things about Canada when I visit there... it's really damn funny what they'll believe.

I've told someone southern ontario has a 2 month dark season where there's no sunlight for 2 months... They believed it.

Incidentally, southern Ontario is further south than parts of the United States. I can also drive across the border in under an hour (assuming the border crossing doesn't take long)

As a member of the US military I think that fat, dumb broad should watch what she says in other people's countries. Its people like that who give Americans a bad name. :sniper:
