Ignorant US Tourists...

...the extent of the ignorance of many US tourists is well known, but last week in Innsbruck I discovered that the Austrians are making a whole industry out of it.

All the clothes and souvenir shops are stocked up with "No Kangaroos in Austria" T-shirts, green and yellow "Austria" rugby shirts, kangaroo-style jumping cow t-shirts, etc.

Well, I thought it was amusing (and quite clever) myself!
