I used to be a tourist, and having been on three cruises to Mexico, I feel ashamed. I mean, I know tourism is a big boost in the economy for many countries, but Vanuatu was the first time I wanted to change my skin color to anything but white.
Port Vila gets visits from Australian cruise ships several times a week, and it's just pathetic. First of all, if you're not aware yet, you realize very quickly that people from first- world countries are all fat, and have no manners. They wear slutty clothing, and forget to put sun block in a race to turn lobster-colored as fast as possible. They travel to foreign countries but still insist on burgers and fries (try the laplap and bat stew since you're already here!). They complain about the heat and humidity, or the rain (wait-no one told you it's their monsoon season now?).
What bothered me the most is how they treat the Ni-Van people. No respect, and no clue they understand English, so they can hear you talking smack about them.
Anyway, that's my rant about tourists. Just sayin'.
