On a certain level, people need to get over the fear of "being a tourist"

Posted by Reagen Aug 15 '12, 11:13

I mean, why are you going to a place if not to see the things that they have there? Of course you're not going to fit in. That doesn't mean you can't avoid some places (like, Fisherman's Wharf isn't fun for me, especially when it's crowded) but go to see the things they have.

Being a "tourist" can be very free-ing. Some people ignore you, some get out of your way, others smile benignly. -- nm - CovingtonCat Aug 15, 11:15 4
- or, in NYC, you get shoulder-checked by the locals who have somewhere to be, and you're in their way. :) -- nm - znufrii Aug 15, 11:16 3
  - as if they bother to see if you're a tourist before doing that -- nm - zork Aug 15, 11:18 2
    - if you're moving slow, they already know. -- nm - loosilu Aug 15, 11:19 1
