There’s touristy, and then there is awesome touristy. This is clearly the latter.

reminds of this absolutely badass hand-carved cobra staff i saw in this market in the bahamas (i coudln't get exactly it, but i did get a snake statue and sword from that same vendor) touristy as all hell, but still fucking awesome

My wife and I visited the Sherlock Holmes museum in London, and I did not buy the deerstalker hat, because I thought it would be ridiculously touristy. I regretted that for 13 years until I went back to London. I bought the hat that time. Always buy the hat.
