Tourists and Backpackers 7

 A TOURIST  is someone who shuffles from one landmark to another, sheepishly following a bored tour guide who, waving a little flag, repeats the same joke seven times in seven different languages.  

Dressed in checkered shorts, a short-sleeved floral shirt, a cap with a visor, sandals with socks, and a big fancy camera that he doesn’t really understand, he snaps photos of whatever everyone else is photographing—without really knowing why.
