My partner says the American tourists are like special children from a special school who need supervision. They are easy to pick for many reasons, but mostly because they look unwell and fat, like they are young but 80. They are not used to walking, so they usually stick to the centre of a city, have to be in groups with a guide who has a flag and talks to them like a school excursion. By 2pm they are all tired and take up many of the restaurant chairs and talk absolute shit loudly. When this happens, everyone is annoyed or leaves the area for better things.
It seems all other nations, not just European, you can find them everywhere. They are used to walking and confident to explore, discover, and do things by themselves as normal adults. I would love to see average step count and food intake comparing different countries.
Where the English are different, they just look unwell, but are usually fit and confident. I do not know why this is, but I think it’s just they are pale so maybe don’t do many outdoor things at home. But many of them are not and you could confuse them as German, French, Dutch, etc from afar.
My favourite is Australian and Canadian. They are very adventurous but polite and shy until you get to talk to one, then they’re loud, excited, and funny. They always look lost but never are. It’s weird. A wild Canadian or Australian can appear in the most obscure places. Canadians are my favourite tourist to meet at the snow. So friendly and up for anything.
Haha, maybe that’s it. They are lost, but it never bothers them. It adds fun for them. They’re never concerned or stressed people which is why they’re fun to be around.
To be fair, in most of Western Europe its hard to get lost in the oh-shit-I-have-only-three-days-of-water-left kinda way. In Canada, that’s just getting off the bus a stop too late. Maybe all this condensed people-y bits here feel like some kind of curious theme park to them. Walk around all day, get hungry at about four in the afternoon, have a waffle at one of the stands, walk home.
I used to wait for the school bus at the top of the Great Dividing Range, on a road next to a mailbox. The mailbox was for a property at least fifteen minutes walk away.
This was at age 10. And it was totally normal in country Australia.
And there’s a great rain app (only for android I think) that just shows radar, called Rainy Days. It’s just the last hour of radar on a loop. Loads quick and only has a banner ad.

I mean, that’s basically where they grew up.

Tourists go abroad and drink and act like assholes. Germans are just tanned Brits.
They are sneaky. Beware
Haha. No wide-brim hat, no tall socks, a t-shirt and not a polo, jeans in 26C, and shoes that aren’t runners… I don’t think they’re Eng-
“Uh, yes, hello. Would you know if it will rain a bit later?”
“Maybe. You can download an app called Windy.”
“Could you speak a little slower?”
“There is an app called Windy. Red icon. Good for all of Europe’s weather.”
“Oh, really? Would you show me how?”
“You can search it on your app store. Red icon. Called Windy.”
“Okay, just one moment, I want to make sure I get it right…”
“It probably won’t rain.”
“Okay, but just one moment…”
fuuuuuck
cough Predict Wind is better cough

Ah. I like Windy for the wind, but also the rain radar shows lightning strikes which is handy in the mountains.
I just prefer the animations on PW. Crazy expensive if you pay for it though.
