The worst things I've seen when no one was looking

I've been lucky enough to travel a lot for work, and have had my fair share of run-ins with tourists who have no idea how to behave in public. I'm a woman who looks Asian, so many people automatically assume I'm Asian, and often lose their minds when they find out I'm Latin American. Here are the worst things I've seen when no one was looking:<br><br>* I was at the Louvre in Paris for a conference once, and was waiting in line to get into the museum. The woman in front of me was dressed in full Burqa regalia, and as soon as she got in, she whipped it off to reveal the tightest biker shorts and crop top you could imagine. The look on the French people's faces was...priceless.<br>* I was at a Starbucks in Tokyo and saw a group of Japanese tourists walk in and immediately start snapping photos of the coffee machines. They were laughing hysterically and taking pictures of the baristas as they worked, completely oblivious to the fact that everyone in the store was staring at them.<br>* I was at a restaurant in New York and saw a group of tourists walk in and immediately start snapping photos of the menus. They were laughing hysterically and taking pictures of the food, and one even took a picture of the waiter's ass.<br>* I was at a museum in Berlin and saw a group of tourists walk in and immediately start snapping photos of the art. They were laughing hysterically and taking pictures of each other's reactions, completely oblivious to the fact that everyone in the store was staring at them.<br>* I was at a hotel in Las Vegas and saw a group of tourists walk in and immediately start snapping photos of the pool. They were laughing hysterically and taking pictures of each other's reactions, completely oblivious to the fact that everyone in the hotel was staring at them.<br>* I was at a bar in Bangkok and saw a group of tourists walk in and immediately start snapping photos of the drinks. They were laughing hysterically and taking pictures of each other's reactions, completely oblivious to the fact that everyone in the bar was staring at them.<br>* I was at a park in Rome and saw a group of tourists walking and immediately start snapping photos of each other. They were laughing hysterically and taking pictures of each other's reactions, completely oblivious to the fact that everyone in the park was staring at them.<br>* I was at a train station in Tokyo and saw a group of tourists waiting for their train. One of them saw a Japanese person walking by and immediately started snapping photos of them, completely oblivious to the fact that the person they were taking pictures of was actually a tourist themselves.<br>* I was at a mall in Dubai and saw a group of tourists walking and immediately start snapping photos of the escalators. They were laughing hysterically and taking pictures of each other's reactions, completely oblivious to the fact that everyone in the mall was staring at them.<br><br>These are just a few examples, but I'm sure there are many more out there.
