Today, I encountered some stupid tourists.

Tam and I were in Mitsuwa Marketplace, and we were waiting for his friends to purchase something. The following conversation ensued between some tourists to the cahiser:

"Hey, can we get the local discount? We don't have our IDs, but we're locals born and raised here, just like you."
"No. I can't do that."

The people eventually paid for the stuff and left. Couple of things, it's not the local discount here... And if you were local, you'd know that. It's kama'aina, and you'd call it that if you were actually local. Secondly, and probably the most ironic of this whole exchange. These people were white as white can be... And they were saying that to someone who was even whiter than them.

Dumb.
