All tourists are awful, incompetent boobs who deserve being locked up in third world prisons for being where they don't belong.

Why do people who don't speak English go on vacations to countries whose language they don't know?

It's called broadening your horizons, and the world would be a better place if more people did it.
With respect to the French - I've traveled in a few* European countries and I'd say the French made the least effort to bridge the language divide. My tactic was to start out with English and when they didn't respond I would switch to my Grade 12 level French, at which point they'd respond in English so that they wouldn't have to hear me brutalize their language.

Being American was very advantageous in Israel. The only downside was people constantly tried to rip us off because they thought we were gullible noobs. But airport security is really quick in Israel if you're an American.If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?
