The Tourist Ten Commandments
• Thou shalt not expect to find things as thou hast left them at home, for thou hast left home to find things different
• Thou shalt not take anything too seriously, for a carefree attitude is the basis for a fine holiday.
• Thou shalt not allow other tourists to get on thy nerves, for thou art paying good money to enjoy thyself
• Remember to take only half the clothes thou thinkest thou needest and twice the money
• Know at all times where thy passport is, for a person without a passport is a person without a country.
• Remember that if we had been meant to stay in one place, we would have been created with roots.
• Thou shalt not worry, for he who worrieth hath no pleasure
• When in Greece (or anywhere really) thou shalt be prepared to do somewhat as the locals.
• Thou shalt not judge the people of a country by one person who hath given thee grief.
• Remember, thou art a guest in other lands and he that treateth his host with respect, shall be honoured.
