most of these complaints just reinforce the stereotype that american tourists are just plain stupid. what did they expect when they dont take proper measures in preparation?! at least familiarize yourself with the area you are staying in and the places you might go before leaving. plan your meals ahead of time by…

All the Allen keys in the world could not fix that kid's smile/wave combo.
