I have this theory: as soon as people are tourists, their IQ drops some 30 points.
Why do you think so many tourists are really stupid?
The question 'How stupid can you get?" tourists consider a challenge.

When people are on vacation abroad, they often leave their thinking cap at home:
They wonder why Spanish people speak Spanish, why their favourite local cookie is not available a thousand miles away and forget how to be polite.
I find it hard to believe but witnessed it myself more than once: often tourists don't know that the international 'Do not Enter!' sign means exactly the same in other countries as it does in their own.

"How was I supposed to know I wasn't allowed to enter?" "What do you think that sign says?" "In my country it means "Do not Enter" but I don't know what it means in this country."
When you vacation abroad, do you leave your thinking skills at home or do you realize not thinking and not respecting local habits can be actually dangerous?

I think people leave their brains at home or believe that exceptions will be made for them abroad. I can’t think of anything else.
