Do tourists spend too much time taking photographs so they do not experience where the are
Overheard conversation in India as a tour got off a bus and were walking behind their guide into Fatehpur Sikri
"For gods sake George take the photograph we can see where we've been when we get home"

On our travels across this wonderful planet we have come across many people who are "Doing Italy in three weeks" or Doing France in a week" and ask about exciting things to do so they can have a good experience. On the other hand my partner and I spend as long as we can in each location as we travel around a country by public transport so we experience the feeling, the sounds, smells and sights of where we are. Wandering the back streets, sitting in a cafe, learning a little language from other patrons in Paris or Istanbul, while enjoying watching life move around us, is why we travel. 1

Are you a sort of a traveler,hovering around virtually every place of the world;From my experiences I would say tourists are smart enough blokes,they believe in reliving their moments traveling, at home so they go for photographs,their travel season is generally long so no problem with actual experience. 1
