New Business Idea
Everyone hates going on vacation and walking around holding a guide book in your hand. Every few blocks you have to stop and examine it while the locals step around you rolling their eyes and petty thieves size you up as easy prey.
That is why I would like to start a new line of tourism guide books. I will take currently existing guide books, and bind them with a new cover in the local language of the destination saying, for example, "Ulan Bator Ninja Academy - Official Rules and Regulations." The picture will not be of the main tourist spot or the country's natural wonders, it will be of a scary looking guy with nun chucks or maybe even a bow staff.
Now, if you need to look for a place to eat or consult the guide book's map, you can hold the book up proudly and glare at the locals walking by.
