how to spot the tourist

tourist looking lost in Venice – with map and suitcases

I find this photo very endearing, as it embodies a lot of the stereotypes about tourists. Looking somewhat lost, carnying a few bags, staring intently at a map – all fit so well. And I think everyone at one point or another behaves just like this. I still remember the 2 wheel-cases I had when I went to USA and the fact that I almost missed the plane because I couldn’t get out of the subway fast enough. And looking confused at a map – I do this all the time.
