Turist Vs. Backpacker

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.
