The restaurant a popular spot, no less was nearly empty.
kindly know that it is cold year-round here.
So bring a coat!
Also, c’mon call it ‘San Francisco.’
No one here says ‘San Fran,’ ‘Frisco,’ or ‘Cali.’
Oh, and stop going to Pier 39 and Lombard Street.
There are so many lovely neighborhoods and museums and parks to see instead."
Leave the statue alone!"
“I am from Austria.
“Im from Seattle, and I have two pieces of advice for tourists.
First of all, stop going up the Space Needle.
Instead, go to Smith Tower so you get the skyline viewincludingthe Space Needle!
Second, yo remember that Pike Place Market is also a place where locals go to shop for groceries.
Have some spatial awareness and c’mon get out of the way when you’re taking your photos.
Youre getting in the way of workers and deliveries and locals who just want to buy some radishes.”
“I live in Chicago, and I’d tell tourists to stop visiting the stupid Bean.
It’s literally a metal bean sculpture.
You’ll have a much better experience!”
No one actually wears a beret here besides grandfathers in the countryside.”
“As a Californian, I want you to know that In-N-Out Burger is overrated.
It is literally just a fast-food burger.
There are so many better places to eat here.
If youre hungry for something cheap, sure, indulge.
“I live in Finland, and I wish people would stop just visiting Lapland.
We have beautiful scenery, national parks, and cities that are well worth a visit.
Tourists visit and expect a Statue of Libertysized statue, but shes only a little one.
I see so many people genuinely disappointed by this.”
I wish that people who travel here would stop trying to speak to locals in Spanish.
Some words may sound similar, but they’re completely different languages.
Also, our capital is not Rio de Janeiro.”
“you might’t climb on the Joshua trees, folks.
I know they’re gorgeous and weird and cool.
I know you want the photo, but they’re fragile!
And it’s actually illegal to climb on them.
“Having lived in Maui, I can say it’s terribly annoying when tourists are oblivious drivers.
Especially while driving the Road to Hana or upcountry to Haleakala.
These locals are driving the roads to get somewhere.
It’s very obvious that all the convertibles and Jeeps are rental cars.
Just pull over for a second and do the locals a favor.”
“like stop putting locks on bridges.
Sincerely, a Parisian.”
“Don’t expect free tap water at restaurants in Germany.
You are expected to buy bottles of water even if you bought food or alcohol.”
“I’m from Colorado.
And it sneaks up on you.
Likely every single day.
Summer is the rainy season, and the name isnt just for fun.”
You will be greatly disappointed if you think it’s going to be hot enough to swim!”
“Hi, from Beijing!
The public bathrooms dont provide any.
Also, get comfortable using a squat toilet.”
“I live in Sonoma County and work in the wine industry.
Too many people give a shot to do far too many wine tastings when they visit.
Shoot for three wineries max in a single day.
People who think they can do five or six to maximize their experience are going to regret it.
Visiting wineries here is all about quality, not quantity.”
“I’m from Nashville, and you should probably not wear Western boots and hats when you visit.
We see plenty of bachelorette parties all doing the same thing.”
If you’re going to a restaurant, expect $30$50 entrees everywhere.
“If you come to London, dont go to Piccadilly Circus there is nothing worth seeing there.
The restaurants and attractions are just awful, and you wont experience anything beyond pure tourist traps.
Leicester Square is pretty much the same: chains and crowds.
The weather can change quickly in the mountains.
Unless you are experienced driving on snow and ice, you are a hazard to everyone on the road.
Look into public transportation and then sit back and enjoy the amazing views!”
