Brits in Europe set the standard for low-class behaviour, but the ones who make it to Cape Town all behave pretty decently. Likewise, I'm given to understand that Germans are not likely to be nearly as polite in Majorca, especially on the infamous "Ballermann" [sic] beach, as they are in places further afield, like Stoke Newington. I also wonder whether the legendary, if not quasi-autistic Japanese tourist propriety is as common in, say, South Korea as it is wherever else large buses packed with Japanese nationals are to be found.

The Japanese are a little clannish for my tastes, but they absolutely do not start any trouble, so I have to give them that.
Advantage Brits. I Like to interact with tourists.
