Spanish Vocab #2

Today I was listening to La Matinal, and there was a funny piece about a hotel survey which asked which tourists are the best/worst.

Turns out the French were the worst, being tacaño (cheap) with their propinas (tips), as well as arrogant and bad at foreign languages. The Japonese were the best, being pulcros (neat and tidy), corteses (polite) and nunca quejarse (never complain).
