- unit001, on 07/16/2009, -1/+15Its important to distinguish between entertaining and authentic. Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show may not have been authentic but it was the Laser Floyd of its day. On the other end of the spectrum, you can see a Mennonite churn butter and its like a voluntary MRI but its authentic as all hell. Authenticity isn't a prerequisite for fun. Since when are vacations necessarily judged on how much you're culturally enriched? Have some fun!
- Fuel90, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1214 pages? No Sir.
- inactive, on 07/16/2009, -0/+11It's like a poem telling me to buy groceries at a store.
- 4NDr01D, on 07/16/2009, -2/+13I just got back from Venice
if you can rent an apartment with a kitchen, do it
get groceries from the store.
you will save a ton of money on food,
and avoid the ***** service at all the restaurants
the gelato for 1e is great!
Montmartre is fun as well
avoid the Africans selling bracelets at the Funiclarie
they are extremely annoying and pushy
take an uncorked bottle of wine up to the steps at sunset
all of Paris is at your feet!
and again
if you can rent an apartment with a kitchen, do it !!
get groceries from the store.
you will save a ton of money on food,
and avoid the ***** service at all the restaurants
and I'm serious about ***** service
the tip is included in the bill by law
so they dont have to work for a tip or be nice to you - mmd1080, on 07/16/2009, -1/+11Venice, one of the most beautiful cities in the world, as a whole, is a tourist trap???
I was really hoping for a guide including things such as "World's Largest Potato." You know, things that actually fall under the definition of tourist trap... - borez, on 07/16/2009, -0/+7And one badly designed site that's not.
- inactive, on 07/16/2009, -0/+6See Ruby Falls. See Rock City.
- BobDle, on 07/16/2009, -0/+6this site reminds me of askmen.com articles.
- SkippyDoorknob, on 07/16/2009, -0/+5The Great Wall of China is considered a tourist trap?! Right up there with world's largest ball of yarn and world's largest thermometer...
- Cyberdropping, on 07/16/2009, -0/+4How come so many slideshows make the front page? Everyone commenting hates them - including myself. I never click thru them. It is annoying. Especially when you have to click thru so many, 14 to see 12 paragraphs.
- LaRue05, on 07/16/2009, -0/+4Bad enough that it's on 14 pages, but the author uses the word kitsch so frequently it makes me want to puke.
Must be his/her "new word of the week," and so he/she feels like overusing it. - tinkafoo, on 07/16/2009, -1/+5"12 damn pages from our website you should visit!"
- diggopolous, on 07/16/2009, -1/+4I think I shall never see a poem as lovely as gelato for 1e
- dienaked, on 07/16/2009, -0/+3Another story with 12 things to look at, which are placed on 14 separate pages.
If I really wanted to flip through a magazine, I'd ***** go buy one. - inactive, on 07/16/2009, -0/+3rent an apartment!
get groceries from the store!
avoid bad service! - sobri, on 07/16/2009, -2/+5Being nice to the customers has little to do with the tip. It's usually cultural, more than anything. Through most of Asia tipping isn't done (and in some cases might be slightly insulting), yet the service is often fantastic.
- PhairOh, on 07/16/2009, -4/+7What was the point of putting "damn" in the title? Will the majority of diggers only vote for things with curses in the title?
- Number23, on 07/16/2009, -0/+3I was in Venice a couple of years ago. There are two types of people to be found in Venice: Tourist and people to sell things to Tourist.
- RudeTurnip, on 07/16/2009, -1/+3In the same vein, I hate when people ask "are you coming with?"
- Knightfall, on 07/16/2009, -0/+2You forgot, "See 7 States" ... you have to cover ALL the barn roofs around this area with one of the three!
- BohicaTwentyTwo, on 07/16/2009, -1/+3While some of these are overpriced or not entirely authentic, they all seem to offer something of value. To me a tourist trap is a place designed to steal your money while offering nothing of value in return. South Of The Border on I-95, now that's a tourist trap.
- skipvt, on 07/16/2009, -0/+2Too bad this site wasn't worth visiting.
- sobri, on 07/16/2009, -2/+4Uhh, loosen up buddy. That usage is just fine.
- burningrobot, on 07/16/2009, -1/+3Anyone else think donkey show?
- 4AntiStupid, on 07/16/2009, -0/+2Clicking through 14 pages each with a tiny bit of content...not worth it.
- dienaked, on 07/16/2009, -0/+2That's the funniest thing, there is no author.
The byline is attributed to: Staff
It's crap the employees have collected over the last 15 years of vacations and they made an article out of it. - rbarnes, on 07/16/2009, -0/+2Did they just lump one of the seven wonders of the world in with a restaurant in Hollywood and New York boat tours? Wow.
- aeck, on 07/16/2009, -0/+2BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!
- dankreek, on 07/16/2009, -0/+2Why isn't Wall Drug on this list???
- Disodium, on 07/16/2009, -0/+2Yes you can
- dmoney51, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1If you go to a Beer Hall and order wine you desire to be shot.
- leapius, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1That would seriously suck if you put your packed 2TB removable HDD on the floor on the way home.
- martoq, on 07/16/2009, -2/+3Venice is unfortuantely a tourist trap. Now if you hit the islands off Venice, Murano and Burano for the lace and glass, they are awesome and not so "touristy". Venice is awesome especially late night, walking around you get a real feel of the "old world".
For me a tourist trap is something that has a larger than usual amount of tourism. - WBWB, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1Dugg for "Laser Floyd"
- Number23, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1What?! No "South of the Border"?
- Brassbud, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1Most of these places I've either never heard of or have never been to, but since the one I have, Williamsburg, was easily one of the most God-awful places I've ever been, I'm going to add this entire article to my list of "Things to avoid like the Plague".
- damntourists, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1damn tourists.
- wunderdog, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1What's so great about Sally Lunn's Bath?
- themastersb, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1I was considering looking at the article and reading what it had to say, but navigating through all those pages? I don't think so.
- flibblesan, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1The rollercoaster at Badaling Great Wall is fun! First trip you are pulled up to the top of the wall which isn't that fun. But going down is awesome! It's all controlled by a little Chinese guy sitting towards the front with a handlebar for the brake! Well worth doing. If you go on a tour to Badaling then you will most likely go to the Ming Tombs as well. When I took this tour it cost 240RMB which is about $35 or £20. Considering theres air-conditioned bus travel and food provided, it's well worth it!
- rmxz, on 07/16/2009, -1/+1Dugg just for "You'll want to wash your wurst down with a liter stein of Löwenbräu lager". I'm so tired of all those places that only offer little glasses for beer.
- FLarsen, on 07/16/2009, -1/+1What's the point of not putting it in the title? Censorship must be the most pathetic thing humanity has ever invented.
- dgendreau, on 07/16/2009, -2/+2Yes, we'll all start talking like 5 year olds for the benefit of your innocent sensibilities from now on.
You have a right to free speech, not a right not to be offended. - gl77, on 07/16/2009, -1/+1huh?
- Kamioni, on 07/16/2009, -1/+1The Great Wall roller coaster is more like a tourist death trap. You will see what I mean when you begin to slide out of your seatbeltless plastic chair.
- Jektal, on 07/16/2009, -3/+2No, no it is not. "If you haven't been" is not English. "If you haven't been to _____", or "If you haven't been there", or "If you haven't been here" are fine, but you can't just drop words whenever you want.
- daimposter, on 07/16/2009, -2/+1thanks. i never click through pages with that many multiple pages. I HATE FORBES.com
Some of those on the list are places to see before you die. -
