I always take a hand held camera and SLR camera, but because we are spending part of our holiday in a cabin in the middle of no where we are going to take two hand held cameras which still take great photos. Great tips.

When I travel I don't hang around street corners with a map, because you stand out as a tourist. @ Jack I agree but I wouldn't recommend copying others if it can lead you into trouble, i.e. copying someone jumping up and shouting at the bar is probably not a good idea, if it means your going to get banned from the bar! @ James

But the spirit of the advise is to try and look like you belong and know what you're doing there. So, if everyone is loud and shouting at the bar, do the same, but if people are orderly queueing up in thepost office then don't jump the line. It's quite possible to blend in while looking different. It’s true that it’s sort of hard to blend in sometimes.
