    Default Why Do the Wrong People Travel?


    This really annoys the hell out of me, people travel.
    Travel to countries where they don't understand how to behave and respect the cultural differences.
    People travel; another fine line between them ol' rules of misbehaving, by don't they know how to behave?
    People travel; running up to veiled woman and snapping pictures of their faces... why can't people behave?

    My only conclusion is this:

    Why Do the Wrong People Travel?

    Is that Jay Leno, Bill Clinton, and Conan O' Brian in the picture?

    As for the question, that will forever remain a paradox. Although, comedians travel for more material. As you know, the majority of comedian’s jokes are complains about things. If they are in another country that they aren't accustomed to, there’s a lot to complain about.

    i live in england. once in derby these american people asked me to take a picyure of them outside a next shop....and why are people so obsest with buckingham palece???? its just a big building!! plus the royal family? a load of boringness!!!!

    i hate it when people go to other countries and can't speak the language. This is a very british thing...most english people just shout "I WANT A BEER" and expect them to know!!! learn the god damn language!!! plus all the football (soccar...is that how to spell it???) nuts who go to the world cup and euro games and beat the poo out of the opposition!!! how sad.... footbal is meant to bring people together, not cause violence and rasicism...

    It's a famous building. People takes pictures to show thier family and friends that they were there and it was glorious. And to keep the memories or something. WHy do you take pictures of yourself or your friends or family? Same thing. So don't bitch at us because we take pictures. British people take pictures of crap too.

    Who cares if people travel. Shouldnt they have the right or choice if they want to? they should be able to go to where every they want. so you dont know everything about a culture, so you cant/shouldnt go there? how else are people going to learn? reading books and books and books about everything? no go there and see what its like if you want to learn.

    i think that people have got the wrong end of the stick here...i don't think that anyone said that people can't travel if they don't know the culture....it's just very rude if they assume that everyone speaks english...
    in spain there are so many tourist places where everyone speaks english it ruins that culture and the language....sorry but it is true

    And so you're saying that we should travel anywhere unless we can speak the language.

    all i'm saying is that english has become the universal language. most places (that don't speak english as a first language) learn english from the age of 5!!!! whilst here in england we don't learn other languages untill we're 12...
    my family are german and irish but i can't speak german very well...this is what i mean!!! english is an arrogant language!!! it is ruining other cultures!!! you don't need to speak others fluent, but enought to say the basics like
    "Ich möchte lieber beir!!"

    If you really lived in England, you'd know that was nonsense. Other cultures (In particular Asian ones) are being forced on us here in Britain all the time, whereas traditional English ones (Such as our flag, national anthem, and even hot cross buns) are deemed racist, which in my opinion is completely moronic.

    On topic though, it's just because the people who travel and behave like that are ignorant. They assume everywhere is like where they live. They're not really the ones to blame for that - no-one chooses to be ignorant.

    Other cultures are interesting, but don't pursue them at the expense of your own.
