Traveling to foreign countries is a privilege, not a right, and sadly those few bad apples among us can ruin a good thing for all of us.
Traveling to foreign countries is a privilege, not a right, and sadly those few bad apples among us can ruin a good thing for all of us.
Like the guy who tried to sneak a bomb onto a plane in his underwear, or the American woman who climbed the Mexican pyramids, all it takes is one bad apple before we're forced to remove our shoes before getting on planes or, well, you never were allowed to climb the pyramids in Mexico but you get the point.
So if you're lucky enough to experience the culture of a foreign country, be on your best behavior.

Really grinds my gears, as once the problem becomes too big, the Rangers will just shut down the trail. They don't have the resources to properly enforce laws."

"There Is A Certain Pretentious Group Of People That Treat Thailand Badly. They Look Down Upon Thai People, Treat Them With Utter Disrespect And Are Just Generally Entitled" "Tonight I witnessed it firsthand when at a restaurant near a beach, these people felt they could just throw rubbish and spit on the floor right next to their table in front of other customers and staff. I asked the young waitress what she thought of it, she said it happens every night and they never ask for a bin or ashtray. They never apologize or tip. They have zero manners or consideration for others. I know there are a few "types" of people that come to mind after you read this, but I bet the real one is at the top of your list. I love this country and its people. Hate to see them treated like this."
