Yes, stereotypes, something I abhor. But I've never ever met type (3), and I sincerely wish I had. All the travellers I've met have been types (1) and (2) who often (but not always, McGrath) trade on the image of (3) in order to propagate a fake ethnicity so that they can justify to themselves a life of tax evasion, petty crime and vandalism. Discuss. Sincerely, though, I do wish there was even a single type (3) around. Please point him or her out, and I shall rush to defend their vanishing lifestyle with my dying breath.
