到此一游？？
(CNN)Another one for the "tourists behaving badly" file.
Two American women have reportedly been arrested for carving their initials
into a wall with a coin inside Rome's Colosseum.
Daily Italian newspaper La Stampa says the women, aged 21 and 25, were
spotted carrying out the act by fellow tourists, who then told security.
The two letters -- J and N -- were about eight inches in length and
scratched on a brick wall at the historic Roman amphitheater.
The women, both from California, reportedly snapped a selfie of themselves
with their initials before they were arrested. Their names have not been
released.
The American pair may now face a fine for "aggravated damage" on a building
of historical and artistic interest.
If one Russian's experience is anything to go by, the price won't be cheap.
Last November, authorities in Rome slapped a 20,000-euro ($21,685) penalty
on a Russian tourist caught carving his name into the famed landmark.
The 42-year-old man was apprehended after a guard at the Colosseum saw him
carve the letter "K" in a section of brickwork.
After police caught up with him, the man was found guilty of causing
aggravated damage, fined and given a four-month suspended sentence.
The Russian was one of five tourists caught carving graffiti on Colosseum
walls in 2014.
The earlier incidents involved two Australians -- a father and son -- and a
Canadian and a Brazilian, both teenagers.

As an American, I would like to express my sincere apology for the actions
of these 2 kids. But, tbf, Chinese kids are much worse these days. I would
also like to express that while it's easy to hate Americans, call us names
and in general just pile on like the rest of the world, we don't see that
same sentiment when you're asking for our help. The vast majority of
Americans are very generous and charitable. We give to everyone in need in
times of crisis and never ask for recognition or thanks. When there's a
natural disaster, it's our aircraft carriers that are the 1st to anchor off
the coast of whatever country was hit, not the Brits, Indians, Belgians or
anyone else for that matter. We just do it because that's the kind of people
we are. So for all the "Stupid American" comments.... you're welcome.
Everyone needs a "bad guy". We have thick skin so fire away. |
