    For some reason I’m always surprised at how badly tourists behave in foreign countries, particularly to sights considered sacred to the locals. Uluru is a good example, where the local tribes continuously asked tourists not to climb all over it, but no one gave a shit until the government finally outlawed it.

    It’s terrible the amount of trash left up on those mountains. Like, look at recent pictures of Everest. It’s basically a landfill at this point

      I’ve never got the whole ‘Look! An area of outstanding natural beauty, let’s throw our shit all over it.’ idea.
