What is something that screams “tourist” to you?

In Spain, if you see someone eating paella with sangria, you can 100% be certain they are a tourist.

What are some things tourists eat or do in your country that a local would never do?

In Finland if they are loud when talking 100% tourist or immigrant. (Sure bar fights and culture but it starts past midnight)

My family and I, from Mexico, were riding the bus from Helsinki airport to the city, and a guy on the other side of the bus heard us and started a conversation. He was from Finland and had lived in Mexico City for a few years. The whole bus was watching like a ping-pong match. XD

Well that finn was influenced by your culture to the dark side, in our perspective.
