Today (and not only today) I saw a bunch of tourists from other countries. You'd say "big deal". But here comes the twist: ALL they did was to walk around the city and take pictures ONLY of churches. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ I don't see the point of travelling a thousand miles (or more) to another country and all you do there is taking pictures of only churches and skip everything else there is to see. To me this looks like the same absurd if I go to another country and start taking pictures of their sewers. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ ๐Ÿคฃ

I guess it depends on what country they are from? Churches may be unusual for them?

[โ€“] Valso@lemmy.ml 6 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Doubtful. Last year the most of them were Americans, this year the tourists are mostly French and Italian. I pretty sure there are churches in all 3 of these countries, especially in Italy, where sits the pedophile HQ - in Rome.

Oh, Americans... Let me guess, old churches?

The thing you have to understand about Americans, any thing more than 100 years is "old". 200 years is "Really, really old! Wow!"

[โ€“] Valso@lemmy.ml 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah. The majority of the churches in Sofia (Bulgaria) are 300 yo, some are 500+ yo. I think one that is underground is 500+. There are the ruins of an even older than that church but they don't take pictures of that. Go figure...

[โ€“] jordanlund@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Yeah, that's what's going on. I'd probably be taking pictures too! America is VERY young and it only gets younger the farther West you go.

Oldest buildings around here are from the 1800s or so.

As an American, the majority of our churches are really plain. A lot of our cathedrals are also pretty plain compared to ones in other countries that often have some unique or at least highly detailed architecture.
