    Default Funny questions asked by tourists

    Here are some I like

    "When is the hunting season for trolls?"

    "Do Vikings live on reservations now?"

    "Do trolls still exist and are they nice or mean?"

    "Is it so that Norwegian women are pregnant for twelve months so that the child will be more resistant to the cold once it's born?"

    Are there really elephants in the streets?

    What do you do when the lions come looking for food at night?

    Do you have electricity? (duh, I'm talking to you on the internet)

    I've had well-meaning family in Europe offering to send us their used curtains to help block out the sun in what they think is our shack.

    Do you have real houses?

    Standing in Cape Town city centre: "But where is the wildlife?"

    Stupid things tourists do
    : arrive in full safari gear, plith helmet included, with binoculars and cameras around the neck and then wonder why they get robbed in the middle of the city.

    Go to the cigarette counter, want to pay for a pack of smokes in Euro's and expect the change to be in ZAR.

    How to spot the German tourist: wearing socks in their sandals and a jersey knotted over the shoulder

    How to spot the English tourist
    : burnt to a crisp and bright pink, usually wearing a white vest

    How to spot the American tourist: clutching bottled water, wearing hawaiian shirts and talking loudly

    How to spot the South Africa tourist abroad: with a cellphone trying to get reception in a foreign country.

    I thought this thread was about dumb tourists in Norway? Especially since the thread is in the Norway section.


    Anyhoo, a classic is: "where are the igloos?"
