“The Fountain of Youth down here in St. Augustine, Florida. The actual fountain is just a fake cave with a pipe that you fill a cup from. There were way cooler things there than that, like a dude who fired a cannon, a bunch of peacocks, and these guys who built replica ships using the techniques from the 16th/17th century.”

What?
#10 tipical from a tourist spot. It's a shame the way they suck the tourist"s money!
Absolutely true regarding #10. The canyon views are amazing enough, no need to go out on the glass sky deck. The no camera policy is needlessly obnoxious in my opinion.
#14 LOL. It is so small that you think you are in the wrong place when you arrive there. You think: this is so small... where is the real one? Grand Place is a Beautifull place, I like to seat in one of those restaurants to drink a nice Belgium beer and enjoy the place, yes, it is kind a tourist trap, but the place is beautifull.
I'm Belgian.
The place indeed is beautiful. The town hall is fantastic (I've been on the balcony with the marriage of my daughter, people took pictures thinking I was 'important', what a deception :-). Anyway, if you're here, don't go to eat in the Rue Des Bouchers (It's really a tourist trap). Also visit Leuven (Even nicer town hall) which was the capital of the Duchy of Brabant (Brussels was just part of it) so you can imagine. Also go to Ghent. You can go to Bruges but it' looks a bit like 'it looks good but we wrap it up at six.' Ghent is the better alternative. Just some suggestions from a guy from Leuven (20 km out of Brussels).
Check out the Jannekin Pis too, his sister statue, located in the hallway outside the Delirium Cafe.
Best is to avoid practically every famous thing from a country you know and find some lesser known but easily as amazing things.
There are some real gems in this world not overcrowded by tourists. You just have to do some research and explore.

Yes it’s awful. STFO.
