One thing I really hate here is (most) other foreigners. Many people here come here and have a huge attitude which is basically summed up as "I was here first, get your own fucking third world nation to explore!"

They can eat my ass.

I've not really had any recent firsthand experiences, but just reading around certain blogs, I've grown really annoyed with other folks and their "I was here first" shit.
You don't go around your home country and do that to first graders, do you? No, it's a dick move. It's also a dick move over here too, or anywhere else you want to reside. If you play by those rules, you have no recourse when a local tells you to get the hell out of their country, or perform some sort of racist or xenophobic act on your punk ass.

Sometimes you find yourself at a bar or restaurant. Hell, maybe even a bookstore. You are immediately recognized by the other foreigner (read Western European or North American) and if you're extremely unlucky, they'll pitch their "well studied and practiced" Mandarin in your direction just so you know that even though you think you're something, you're not shit because you've been in this country exactly 2 days less than that moron has.

This is really frustrating when it comes to actually having to deal with these people.

I am all for practicing your language, adapting to the culture, etc. The thing I can't stand is how so many people who come to a different country are so pointlessly elitist and try to make every other non-local person aware of how awesome they are at the language/understanding of culture/traditional activity.

When I was in Vietnam, I came across tons of people talking about "Lao" and how it was the "place to go" and all that. I've never been to Laos, but dammit they sure didn't make me want to go check it out. All of these white pseudo-rastas telling me that I've "just got to make the trip to Lao" like some sort of fucking low rent Mr. Howell from Gilligan's Island. If all of those hipster fuckos are running through "Lao" are gonna be there, then I'm sure as hell staying away.

It's the same here in China. I mean there are so many people who talk about the "real China" like it's some sort of mythical east Asian Compton where it's so hard and they know what life it really like in China. It's pointless to argue with them so I just ignore them.
