One time I saw a tourist taking pictures of some signs on buildings that said they were closed down by the police department. And tourists are always just standing on street corners, not crossing the street, or walking really slowly. And they’re all over the place, especially around places that sell fake handbags, bootlegged DVDs, and overpriced gift shop merchandise. Tourists… yeah. I guess I’d probably be like that too, if I went to some interesting new place.
I live near Chicago, and I’ve never been to the top of the Sears Tower…
When my friends and I are cosplaying downtown, it’s always funny to have tourists staring, and a few brave ones even take pictures with us… Although it can get annoying after a while.
You’re mean. Last time I went around Singapore all I got were T-shirts, a lighter, postcards, water tumblers, coffee mugs, fridge magnets, coasters, playing cards, fan ornaments, chopsticks, chocolates, handphone pouch, local guidebooks, sandals, keychains… a snowglobe.
@Immac: I expect KirbyM already took note of it, and it’ll be fixed with the next update.
Tourists are fun to mess with.
When ever I got downtown, I wave to all the trolleys that are full of ’em and yell out “Don’t believe him!” too.
I just noticed that I’ve never been on a trolley or read (or seen for that matter) The Midnight In The Garden Of Good And Evil.
To me it sounds like a book that Shikieki would love. XD
They knew I was a tourist, not because I bought pointless souvenirs (because I didn’t), but because I ALWAYS WAITED FOR THE DON’T WALK LIGHT TO CHANGE TO WALK BEFORE CROSSING THE STREET! WHAT IS WITH YOU PEOPLE AND JAYWALKING?!?!?!
Yeah, if I could go to Gensokyo, I would be all ‘YEA!! SIDEWALK!!!’ and take pictures of sidewalks, and Fairies. I would need lots of pictures of fairies.
@Unknown Tengu
There’s not that many trollies in Savannah are there? I know there’s a few, but I don’t remember them littering the streets like in some cities in California.
@T_ConX
New York is no where near as bad as Atlanta for jaywalking. Even the police will jay walk when they walk outside the police station to get across the street. When I was there it seemed like most people waited for the cross light or traffic.
Best tourist moments:
Talking with the guards outside the Stockmarket in NY and having them tell me there’s snipers watching me.
Almost getting into a fist fight with a PETA member in DC.
Getting lost in China Town in California when I was 5.
Trying to sneak into the White House. *A horrible attempt that would have never worked. “I’m here for the party.”*
Not really the standard tourist stuff for me. Maybe one day I’ll act like a tourist.
This shirt is uncomfortable. I like shorts better, they’re comfy and easy to wear! *shot for making a stupid Pokemon reference*
Tourists are stupid. Really, who takes a picture of, say, a pole from a differen- OH MY GOSH IT IS A POLE FROM GENSOKYO *runs into pole* …I didn’t get this injury from running into a pole, I beat up some vicious muggers.
I’d steal one of Reiuji’s spellcards then copy it, then give the copy to a random 5-year old. Then I will watch as Earth falls apart while I sip tea in Gensokyo. Rofl.
Oh, and I’ll buy a Scarlet Devil Mansion snowglobe. X3
@Pingy: I would take THE fairy as a souvenir. Except that maybe it isn’t a very good souvenir if you can’t get of Gensokyo at all. And the damn fairy would fly around your room crashing on the window like a fly and shooting little bullets from time to time but you could give it to a friend as a gift just to annoy him/her.
@Person Man: There’s not a lot, but you miss the bright orange and green trolleys when you’re out of the town for two weeks. I haven’t been to Atlanta in a while, but I remember seeing jaywalking a lot. We Georgians have places to go! XD
Still, no one can beat Savannah when it comes to St. Patrick’s Day parties. We must have everything green. Once we even tried to dye the river green one year.
I’m not getting the snowglobe references. =/ (Perhaps they’re more of a common souvenir in the US?)
Heh. One of Sakuya’s knives would beat a snowglobe any day as far as souvenirs go… and as far as weapons go. <<;
I’d probably do something stupid like try to sneak off with one, meaning that I’d get it permanently embedded in my forehead like a Touhou video on a Walfas blog post.
@ME!: Seconded. =D
@NoWaiThatsImpossible :O: My advice would be to not bring an expensive one. You turn your back for one second and suddenly the pictures in Bunbunmaru never looked so good.
@Akiraita: Whoo! =D *Gets out camera* 10 megapixels of Gensoukyou pole!
@MarisaMuffin: I wonder if Remi’s power over fate would work on her gameplay in PS2 games. Also, yes, best to stick with the fairies… mind you, not ones who freeze frogs, or things could get painful.
So true… I’m Japanese, born near Tokyo, yet I haven’t gone up the Tokyo Tower yet. D: I’ve gone up towers in other places like Empire State Building and the SWFC in Shanghai…
Anyway, I should go up the Tokyo Tower next year, since, uh, the junior/senior campus is like, right next to it.
I’ve been a tourist for alot of my life, been to Noew York when I was little, we were stuck in a taxi during a blizzard.
I went to Chicago for the last week of my summer vacation, went up Big John, also went to the Shedd Aquarium and got this Penguin Keychain…thing.
I want to go to Venice, and maybe I’ll swim in the Canals.. Or just take a gondala ride.. Yeah, ’cause that’d be AWESOME!!
I suddenly wanna go traveling.
And bring my camera along.
Oh yea, and money to buy some souvenirs…
No scret message today? Nooooooooo!
(By the way, when you will began to make your new touhou flash? I can’t wait!)
Awesome XD
It s very easy to spot tourists xD.
Btw i’m still not forgetting Letty-sama does not have her trident shpaed badge =/
Oh you!
lol, silly tourists
what is fake DVDs? CDs posing as DVDs? or you mean pirated DVDs

Bloody Tourists.
All we get are College Parents and whatnot.
and idiots who think our town is full of weirdo wackjobs.
fucking branch dividians.
I would do that if i went to Gensokyo D:”
if i brought my camera though.. i wonder what Aya would do…
You’re mean. Last time I went around Singapore all I got were T-shirts, a lighter, postcards, water tumblers, coffee mugs, fridge magnets, coasters, playing cards, fan ornaments, chopsticks, chocolates, handphone pouch, local guidebooks, sandals, keychains… a snowglobe.
@Immac: I expect KirbyM already took note of it, and it’ll be fixed with the next update.
Snowglobe⑨.
Awesome.
@ONI NEko
you’re never too sure xD, J/k
yah i’m sorry i have pointed that too much =/

I visited New York about two years ago.
They knew I was a tourist, not because I bought pointless souvenirs (because I didn’t), but because I ALWAYS WAITED FOR THE DON’T WALK LIGHT TO CHANGE TO WALK BEFORE CROSSING THE STREET! WHAT IS WITH YOU PEOPLE AND JAYWALKING?!?!?!
Don’t mess with tourists, they’re one of the best classes around, second only to the archaeologist, but slightly better than cavemen.
Valkyries are better.
So… being a tourist is contagious?
Yeah, if I could go to Gensokyo, I would be all ‘YEA!! SIDEWALK!!!’ and take pictures of sidewalks, and Fairies. I would need lots of pictures of fairies.
Look at all the bicycles!
if you act like a tourist in gensokyo, a youkai would eat you instantly lol
You know what’s a great place to go to? California.
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

IT’S FUNNY CAUSE IT’S TRUE
I’d bring a copy of Devil May Cry and a PS2 and give them to Remilia, then wait for her to try to do Scarlet Devil Trigger.

Scarlet Devil Mansion Snowglobe lawl.
Hmm … a pet fairy … *gets naughty ideas*
I’d personally take pictures of fairies, and since Winter’s almost here maybe a pair picture with Letty might go well.
Also, a picture of Reimu “working”.

This was an amusing flash, I enjoyed it thanks.

You know, one of the boss themes in Devil May Cry 4 is called “Frozen Frog” …
