CNN has unscientifically published a list of the world's best tourists. The list includes the nationalities that are the best travellers, as well as their advantages and shortcomings. Do you agree?
A little surprised
I'm a bit surprised that Germans and Americans are so high on the list - can't they sometimes be a bit self-righteous and unwilling to learn foreign languages? (Ok, I know I'm generalising now, but that's what happens with these lists...?) Then I miss the Dutch, who we always find very nice when we meet them on our travels.
- Chileans - too many good pages to list them all
- Germans - intelligent and respectful tourists who know how to handle liquor
- Americans - professionals in tipping
- Swedes - polite, evenly tanned and looking good in swimwear
- Japanese - their passion for everything preserves attractions that would otherwise disappear
- Italians - always seems to have the most fun
- Australians - have a contagiously relaxed attitude
- Chinese people - willing to eat anything and have money to spend.
- Englishmen - if you buy them a beer you are friends for life
- Canadians - has the optimism of the Americans, without having their loudness.

I think girls and boys from Norway are happy and nice in every way!
Missing Norway on the list!
Live well!

I agree. Germans are as nice as can be at home in Germany - but outside their borders they act like they own the world. Crazy list! /Linda

Haha... always fun with lists, but as I said you have to take it with a pinch of salt...
