I live near to the Botanics so I thought I would take a stroll there yesterday.
With it being all mizzy and drizzly, I thought I might have the place to myself. No such luck. The place was crawling with tourists. Millions of ‘em. In dampest November. It took ages to get a scone.
You can’t hate them. We’ve all been that guy. I’ve been to the Leaning Tower of Pisa and gawped at it from a milling crowd of other foreign gawpers.
I’ve been the fool in a queue in a deli in New York City, holding up local workers in the queue behind me because I don’t know how to order a coffee properly at Manhattan speed.
Remember, if there are tourists at the quiz, they’ll probably lose. It’s best to see the relative advantage in the situation:.
