American Tourist Strips Off In Germany To 'Blend In'

A American tourist raised eyebrows when he got naked and went for a walk through a German city and told police he thought this was acceptable behaviour in Germany.

"We have been having unusually hot weather here lately but, all the same, we can't have this", a spokesman for German police said. "The man said he thought walking around naked was tolerated in Germany".

The man pointed out to police that many Germans enjoy nude sunbathing - which is allowed in public parks - so he thought it was accepted.

The 41-year-old was carrying his clothes in a bag when police stopped him after complaints from pedestrians.

Police made him get dressed and pay a $300 fine for indecent behaviour.
