Most Obnoxious Tourist
I found this article to be very, very interesting. I was under the impression that people from the United States were the most obnoxious tourists, and it seems the writer felt the same way until they did the research.
This reminds me of a story that I heard from a sociology professor. He was in France(?) with his wife who was a professional volleyball player and they were living there for a little while and one of their acquaintances said that they could always tell who was an American tourist by their shoes. Apparently, many Americans wear tennis shoes when they go shopping as if they are going to the gym or something, as opposed to the local French and other Europeans who dress nicely when they go shopping.
I find that extremely amusing because it's true. When I go to a mall or somewhere, I often see people in sneakers and sweats and whatnot.
Perhaps that says something about them.
In any case, it looks like Americans are in the middle of the spectrum when it comes to tourist behavior. Not too bad I guess. And of course there's no surprise that Japanese top as #1.

If it wasn't for Juicy making sweats a fashion statement, the world would look like a bunch of lazy slobs.
Not going to lie though, I hate going shopping or something and seeing the way people are dressed make me ashamed of them. Being a fashion student just makes me 10x more critical D:
Funny how dressing like a slob or downright inappropriately can be given the moniker of "tourist" albeit an obnoxious one.
Sweats belong at the gym or should be worn in the privacy of your own home. Especially if they are sweaty and stained! :-0>
