The Ugly Chinese Tourists

I went to a Cantonese restaurant for a family gathering on Sunday morning. Four or five middle-aged tourists came in and sat on the table right next to us. They sat down, ordered expensive dishes such as abalone and shark’s fin and Boudreaux wine and enough Dim Sum to feed an army. They bragged about their adventure at casinos, night clubs and luxury shops with a voice louder than The Three Tenors. When they finally left the restaurant with a table full of food and no tips, others at the restaurant looked at each other and felt a sign of relief. When I first heard that the National Tourism Administration of China actually launched an educational program urging Chinese tourists to behave more civilized while traveling outside the border, I thought it's just a joke. After experiencing the astonishing behaviors by Chinese tourists, I'm in full support of this educational program.
