Tourists in printed.

I notice that in many hotels around here our tourist friends from China are walking outside in their pajamas and the hotels' room slippers (the hotels names are printed on the slippers). 
So if you see someone wandering around at night in pajamas, it's probably a tourist. If you want to know which hotel he/she is staying at look at their feet.
