Ask Gadling: How not to act like a tourist in a foreign country {Gadling}

Oct 13th 2010 4:13PM Please, please, for the love of God! DO NOT bring along your brand new, piercing, ultra white sneakers that you bought the week before your trip. Also, please don't wear said sneakers with your ill-fitting Wranglers when you are in any foreign country. Leave them at home in the suburbs with your local sports team jersey. This is something that only an a-whole American tourist does. We can see you a mile away; it's embarrassing, and it needs to stop NOW.
