1. Who wears short shorts? Eastern Europeans! Specifically Split teenage girls aged 12-17, we saw some so short their undies hung out... not a good look.

2. Who stumbles around in large drunken groups with matching t-shirts/ outfits? Tourists, the latest rage is for groups of English lads (and now ladettes) to buy cheap air tickets to some poor unsuspecting eastern european city and parade around drinking cheap beer and causing a raucous all in matching t-shirts.. yuk.. stop it now...

3. Who chain smokes and drinks hard liquor? Eastern Europeans! The most popular Cafes I've seen so far in Europe are smoke filled alcohol dens that don't sell any food to speak of, if you're lucky they might sell coffee... maybe.

4. Who wears socks with sandals? Eastern Europeans! Well more specifically Northern Europeans so I guess they're Tourists as well, you get a point if you chose either.

5. Who loves to gamble? Eastern Europeans! oh my gosh if I see one more 'hole in the wall' gambling joint packed to the rafters I'm going to have to have to try my hand at electronic roulette... not.

6. Who always looks like their ready to play touch footy? Tourists, specifically American ones, get around in joggers, sports shorts, a cap and slurping on a drink bottle and look like they're at footy training.

7. Who has embarrassing accents? Tourists. Theres nothing more cringe-worthy than hearing a twangy American accent rise above the crowd, Australian ones aren't much better.

8. Who wears bum bags? Eastern Europeans! they love it, its all the rage here and maybe the odd Japanese tourist.

Bonus Question:
9. What makes Eastern Europe like India? Touts hassling you at the train station, crazy drivers, cheap food, train stations have a family of friendly dogs in residence, you have to pay to use the loo, they have slums (well Bulgaria does), and hugely inflated currencies. Any other suggestions welcome.
