I thought Americans were "ugly" tourists. I take it all back.

Lt Col Jim Coe You do not know how many times I have heard that from Thais. Living here in Thailand, we see many Chinese tourists. The sigh of relief I hear when my wife and I get out of the car and they see an American is almost comical.

So any form of protest (even the funny kind) is not allowed. Check! Now where did I put my bucket of red paint.......:D

Candy Alkaabi Can you please educate me on how any of these behaviors are protests? They all show forms of disrespect to their host countries. I have seen Chinese tourists defecating on the "White Temple" in Chaing Rai, Thailand. That temple is one of the most holy sites for Thai Buddhists. I have also seen news reports on Thai TV of Chinese tourists using the canals in downtown Chaing Mai, Thailand as a bath tub. Those are only a couple of the many things I have seen and heard about.

If you are talking about the end of the video, those scenes all come from the "Cultural Revolution" that occurred in China from around 1966-1976. Those were not protests, but members of Chairman Mao's Red Guard protecting the "Revolution" from the "bourgeois elements" that wanted to restore capitalism.

Candy Alkaabi - No worries, I forgot to turn on my humor receptors. Sorry about that. I tend to get a little passionate some times.
