Yeah, we stick out like a sore thumb just about everywhere. And we’re easy to spot from a mile away by the typical Dutch stuff we tend to bring along.
The Dutch certainly like to travel just about anywhere. No matter where you go, no matter how obscure or remote, chances are there’s a Dutch tourist to be found - and likely another Dutch person who’s set up a little restaurant to sell typical Dutch food to said tourist.
I do hope my countrymen behaved themselves :D I’m always mortified to see the phrase ‘Dutch tourists…’ in the news.
It's ok, the Aussies are usually the one to make a scene.
Such lovable larrikins! /s
I get much more worried over "American tourists". I don't know what it is, but they are often so rude and unhappy.
When I was in Italy last year, one American guy was asking directions and he just left once he got then, without even saying thank you. :) It's like he was offended that he would end up in a situation where he needed to ask someone directions, and it was our fault somehow.
