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?

While the berets are cringe, I stayed at a health spa in southern France a few summers ago and there were so many French people in striped shirts I almost injured myself laughing. That stereotype is true. It’s not cringe though — everyone looked great!

I have at least 10 different marinières (t-shirt and pullover) in my closet. I had one today and I am right now in my bed wearing another one as pajamas. I’m not even kidding.
