Data: Four in ten US travelers admit to having stolen something from a hotel during a visit. The most common items were towels, bathrobes, batteries, pillows, remote controls, sheets, bibles and umbrellas. Following the U.S. travelers, Chinese tourists take the second place and then France, Japan, Russia, Korea, India, Germany, Spain and Britain. Who do you think are the world’s worst tourists? Have you stolen something from a hotel when you take a journey? Have you ever done something rude during your visit?

One told me that she was really embarrassed by some of them. I said that she had obviously never seen English football fan. The absolute worst hooligans in the world by a county mile. Dodger.

Dodger.

Dodger, I just had a trip to Beijing with my parents. Your Chinese friends are right. Chinese tourists have bad reputation. I saw many of them litter and throw garbage randomly, jump the queue or smoke in public.

PS: I haven't seen any English football fans.

Dodger, people have become cold-hearted today. When I queued at the ticket office of the Forbidden City, a guy tried to jump the queue. I asked him to queue up. He stared me and said "It's none of your business." Other people just stood there and did nothing. They didn't want to make trouble.

As for the English football hooligans, I am curious that how London will deal with them during the Olympic Games.
