Yeah, it's strange. People think that tourists from cruise ships are destroying the city because they visit for several hours, but then they recommend that tourists should stay in the city for several days? What's always funny to me is that tourists who are part of the derided "masses" always seem to have a lot more common with locals than the "elite traveler" types who preoccupy themselves with finding an "authentic local experience." It's hard to truly connect with the common people when you look down on the common people in your own culture.
