grew up in a major European city with lots of tourism. Asian tourists are almost invisible on how unobnoxious they are. while Americans are loud and entitled. Germans and English tourists were annoying but only came to get drunk on the beach. Israeli tourists also tend to be entitled and annoying.
other groups were rare so not much to talk about them
I live in Prague and work every day in the center.
By far the worst are the Brits who get fall down drunk and try to start fights. Americans are only annoying in that they talk loudly and are often kind of dumb. But they are generally polite. They don’t hold a candle to the Brits. The rest are generally mild enough as to not be noticeable unless they are in a big group blocking the sidewalk which can be any nationality.
From Barcelona. they only shop up on line a handful of corners, seems like they get off the bus on the Sagrada Familia or other simpler spots, take their picture and go back to the bus. I didn’t specify which eat Asians, because never gotten too close and no one complains about them.
I’ve been to Barcelona, didn’t seem like a particularly cramped city. When I lived in a cramped, touristy city, my university was one of the attractions and right in the middle of the city center.
it’s because they usually stuck to their buses. no idea if they were Japanese or Chinese, never saw them anywhere beyond talking pictures in some spots.

Visiting Prague right now and mostly noticing the Brits xD
That’s on you though because you got the worlds best beer.
Yes. It is at once both a blessing and a curse.
Depends. Those big tourist groups are definitely an issue when the streets are already cramped without tourists and you have places to be.

Eating people is generally frowned upon.
*EAST ASIANS!!! EAST ASIANS!!!
oh fuck, I’m on a list now, aren’t I?

they do have a lot of policies to not overdo tourism and become a theme park. like banning airbnb or adding a tax on hotels for tourists…
it does help
“Asian tourists” pretty much says all I need to know about this lil anecdote…

Sorry bud, you weren’t able to determine what country they were from by visual cues alone? It’s over for you. He knows who you are, deep down.
do they want me to try to remember and guess the nationality of people I saw from a distance 20 years ago?
not going by “they all look the same” but come on. you try to guess the nationality of a tourist you saw across the street 20 or so years ago
Tsk tsk, not having perfect recall about some random people you literally never interacted with? For shame.
Probably just a regional thing.
In the US it means East Asian, in the UK it means Southeast Asians.
I guess most places default to the US definition unless they have a big population like the UK due to the US exporting their language through media.
Doesn’t it mean Indians in the UK?
SEA is like Cambodia etc.
Yeah, pretty much.
