Ive noticed a bunch of tourists in rental cars its seems and im not to sure why that they enjoy visiting gas stations.. I would say a good 25% of there vacation money is spent there..

I live about twenty minutes outside of D.C. There were millions of tourists here for the inauguration. Now, while I understand why people wanted to see it (first black President, change, etc) the majority of them ended up standing in sub freezing weather on the mall for hours packed like sardines to watch on jumbo screen tvs. Seems kinda dumb to me... and people paid $1000's to rent rooms for a week or even a few days there.

^see I can totally see that. It's a very different experience being there in the crowd, experiencing that atmosphere, than just watching it at home on tv.

I went there.

You know, for a mansion, it sure is f*cking tiny.

Of course everybody was midgets back in the 50s.

I enjoyed it but theres better places in Memphis to see. There's a lot of great tourist spots. Beale Street has a lot of cool nightclubs, and there's the Pink Palace museum which is really awesome.

Ride on an open top bus looking at the craphole called London whilst it's invariably hammering it down with rain. The fools.

Beale St.! I went there on a guitar trip to Memphis back in my junior year of high school, it was pretty cool. It did feel kind of like a tourist trap at times, but I loved all of the musicians playing outside. There was some real blues talent there. We toured the Gibson factory too, that was awesome.
And I would love to visit London one day...

People pay thousands of dollars to hunt deer in Kansas around where I live...and the deer are fenced in so they are guaranteed a kill or 2...where is the sport in that...and people hit deer in cars around here by the dozen...they are really a pain in the ass...I feel sorry for these animals that are loosing their natural habitat....eventually they will have none and will have to be bred on industrial farms and kept in tiny stalls and slaughtered like cows...oh the humanity.

You can get parajumping lessons for a big difference depending where you are.

Tourists pay guides to take them up to this glacier which is actually quite safe. The meltwater rivers are easy to spot and fairly predictable, there are no crevasses, it's not far from town .. Needless to say, we just walk up there. Also, tourists rent rifles on Svalbard, but they know nothing of gun safety. Groups of tourists where everyone has a rifle, bolt usually in so you can't know if they've got a bullet in the chamber, is a fairly regular thing to see .. It's illegal to carry them like that in town, but the tourists are too stupid / ignorant to understand.

I've met tourists who have gone to the north pole by plane. What the hell is the point of going up there by plane? Then it's just a chunk of ice.

What do they need rifles for anyways?

We don't get many tourists here, unless you count the masses that pour in for football weekends.
