In every tour group there's always one or two characters that stick in your mind. Mine was a lady who loved to answer to everything our tour guide said to us, whether it was required or not. It was like being in a southern gospel church.
Tour guide: "Hokkaido is a very picturesque island..."
Lady: "Yes! Picturesque."
"... famous for dairy products like milk..."
"Like milk! Yes!"
"... you'll have the opportunity to enjoy the baths tonight..."
"Hot baths tonight. Uh-huh."
"... please gather in the lobby for dinner at 6pm..."
"Lobby at 6. Halleluiah!"
"We'll visit a waterfall this afternoon..."
"Praise the lord!"
"... followed by a sulfur valley, the source of this area's hot springs..."
"Amen! He speaks the truth!"
I wanted to clap and sing and jump on my feet and raise my hands and be loved and healed! But I didn't think the tour guide would've appreciated the interruption.
