    grew up in a major European city with lots of tourism. Asian tourists are almost invisible on how unobnoxious they are. while Americans are loud and entitled. Germans and English tourists were annoying but only came to get drunk on the beach. Israeli tourists also tend to be entitled and annoying.

    other groups were rare so not much to talk about them

        it’s common for them to do a world tour after their military service. they usually feel at the top of the world by then. not the most stable people

      I live in Prague and work every day in the center.

      By far the worst are the Brits who get fall down drunk and try to start fights. Americans are only annoying in that they talk loudly and are often kind of dumb. But they are generally polite. They don’t hold a candle to the Brits. The rest are generally mild enough as to not be noticeable unless they are in a big group blocking the sidewalk which can be any nationality.

        Probably just a regional thing.

        In the US it means East Asian, in the UK it means Southeast Asians.

        I guess most places default to the US definition unless they have a big population like the UK due to the US exporting their language through media.

        it’s because they usually stuck to their buses. no idea if they were Japanese or Chinese, never saw them anywhere beyond talking pictures in some spots.

          Sorry bud, you weren’t able to determine what country they were from by visual cues alone? It’s over for you. He knows who you are, deep down.

            do they want me to try to remember and guess the nationality of people I saw from a distance 20 years ago?

            not going by “they all look the same” but come on. you try to guess the nationality of a tourist you saw across the street 20 or so years ago

              Tsk tsk, not having perfect recall about some random people you literally never interacted with? For shame.
