Being a tourist is an innately clichéd experience -- you roam around a foreign city, toting a giant camera, posing for awkward photos and wearing one of those I heart (insert city name here) t-shirts.

There are plenty of clichéd things you can say, too -- from corny jokes, to puns, to phrases we've heard thousands of time.

Whether you think they're clever or classless, check out the ones we rounded up.

1) Czech Me Out.

Found on t-shirts, shot glasses and all kinds of other tourist swag, "Czech Me Out" is a favorite play on words in the Prague souvenir industry.

2) Stay Classy, San Diego.

A movie reference that has become a cliché in its own right. We know you love "Anchorman", but please don't name your San Diego vacay Facebook album "Stay Classy, San Diego." Same goes for New York and "Empire State of Mind."

3)The Bangkok jokes

We get it. They're funny -- when you're 12.

4) Jamaican Me Crazy

Once a clever play on words, "Jamaican Me Crazy" is now just a Ben & Jerry's flavor.

5) Dong jokes in Vietnam

The Vietnamese currency is indeed the dong. Get the jokes out of your system before you travel.

PARIS -- Tourists seeking an original way to take in France's famed countryside have a new way to do it – in a helium-filled Zeppelin.

On Sunday Airship Paris' 250-foot-long, 5-story airship began flights over the forests and villages northwest of Paris. The company says it's received "lots" of reservations for flights. It says it's the first commercial airship in the Paris region for 30 years.

The Zeppelin has room for 12 passengers, who can move about the large-windowed cabin during the flight. On clear days like Sunday, the Eiffel Tower was visible in the distance. Tourists can also see the Seine river and the Chateau de Versailles from 1,000 feet up.
