I don't understand why anyone would subject themselves to this. Okay you're away from home but you don't have to announce it in capital letters (stereophonic sound for my St Caths girls) to the world.
Observe how
1. Man is casually carrying around an ipad to take photos. But no that's not enough, you need 3 different angles, with 3 different cameras and probably 349857 photos just in case you can't perfectly capture the 3 boys splayed across the grass like starfish. In front of the Sacre Cœur. Please someone tell me why.
2. Woman has chosen to buy a rain poncho with Paris and an image of the Eiffel Tower on the back of it. There's another 2 in the background if you look closely. If you were at home and it started raining, tant pis right? What in the world possessed you to walk into a store and buy 3 plastic ponchos with the city you are in branded across the back? It's like me, being in Sydney, and deciding to buy a yellow and green plastic poncho with SYDNEY and a boxing kangaroo plastered on the back and strutting around Bondi. I really don't believe that being in a different place gives anyone permission to be a complete and utter nuthead.
3. Small girl is starting a new trend; clipping a brochure to your head to protect the head from UVA/B rays (as well as sitting in the shade).
It's like when people travel, it's cue to take everything you wouldn't wear and put it into a suitcase. Is walking in Paris more difficult than at home? Why are you wearing that polo and runners combination?
I am a tourist. But I don't feel the need to do this. Do you? I carry all the same stuff with me, plus a camera and a little extra cash. But really, why? Why does this happen? Please someone explain.
