Us media: “people will never be the same again” “we will never travel again” “we will never not wear masks again” “people will forever be isolating out of fear of another pandemic”

tourists are like invasive bugs

When I lived in Nice, I lived in the old city and it's a touristic area, sometimes I couldn't enter the building because a group of tourists stood next to the door, living there made me hate tourists

Are they local tourists tho? I don't mind local tourists, but man, foreigners are just the worst. They know it ain't their country so they respect nothing. NOTHING.

All that matters is their personal freaking experience, because they "PAID" for it so they need to get the most out of it.

And then they complain as to why people aren't so warm towards tourists. Get your crap together.

Sorry I needed to get this one out

We saw that these cities look like ghost towns without people, so this is definitely better.

Let's not act like geishas arent a thing for tourists and not many people can afford those prices.

those lines seem big because theres the security checks

why is interntational media, mainly uk and us so sensionalist.

There would be also many local people, cause the palace and saint marks was still open. I...

I was there and honestly it's insane how many tourists there are, I understand why so many habitants are pissed off by tourists. It's a LOT. I don't know what they could do to control that

That is 100% true. As a parisian, Ive had to deal with that **** since birth, groups of people pushing me away to see the Eiffel Tower, some screaming in my ears, running in the streets to get to wherever, and always always pushing me, it's like calm the **** down, whatever ur looking at is not gonna go away. And then being stopped every 10 min by tourists for questions bout where is the arc de triomphe etc etc I do it, but some days Im not in the mood. Bcs of that experience, and not being able to enjoy a day somewhere 'famous' it taught me to respect the people living in the city and not bother them too much when u visit something. Especially cities that are so famous like Rome, basically everywhere in Italy tbh

I never understood vandalism. Like, do they do that in their own homes too? Also, I know a lot of people think street art with spray paint etc is permissible, but I kinda find it to be an eye sore, especially those only with typography by kids etc.

If it's like banksy or done by an artist, it's not that bad, but then you see this huge colorful words just doesn' t give you that vibe that other forms of art does. Maybe it's just me.
