When we were on our tour for of the Sydney Opera House on Tuesday, the guide stopped and asked the group where everyone was from...France, India, Mexico, Belgium, Canada, and Wisconsin...California...
So...We've noticed that tourists from America...do not mention their country, but their city or state. Hmmm...is this because they assume everyone in the world should know all of the geographical details of their country? Or is it simply because they affiliate themselves more with their city/state than the country as a whole. Or is it because they want the other American tourists in the group to know where they are from. Interesting that they are the only ones to do this...
So, today we are off to the Blue Mountains...and my wish for today is that we have no "I am from Wisconsin' type tourists.
