A turist is a
person, picked up at the airport by a special bus, which will take him directly
to the doors of a uniformed hotel, where he will spend the next seven days on
the beach. He will spend the first day lying on an air mattress on the beach,
watching shapely girls and imagining all he could do with them if he were 20
years younger. He will spend the remaining six days lying in the hotel room
recovering from the terrible sunburn and watching well-shaped girls at night in
the bar, discussing with his friends all he could do with them if his nagging
wife was not around.
A turist is a person who is taken from one turist
sight to another following a boring turist guide with a flag in his hand telling
the same joke in seven different languages. Wearing strapy pants, a jamaican
shirt, a shieldhat and sandals, he is taking photos of the same things as
everybody else with his snapshot camera, and wonders what country they are in. Since
it's Friday, they must probably be somewhere in Spain…
