Also – nice trick leaving three comments yourself…made me click!

When approached, suddenly speak a new language. Learn Klingon if a real language doesn’t interest you. Although you understand you are being asked for money, be bubbly and happy, but confused by your tormentor’s actions. When the offender holds out his/her hand for money, thank him, bow out of respect, shake his hand and smile. Be incredibly dense and show no fear, unless the individual has a gun or other weapon pointed at you. The object is to drag it out as long as you can until he hopefully gives up. Unfortunately, this does not always work and it’s better to just pay the bloody “fee” – with lots of coin.

Act like you REALLY do not want to be there and that there is absolutely nowhere else to go. I find crying helps.”

This is classic! One of their tips: “If you are travelling solo, write a ‘Wake me at 5:00 AM’ note and stick a few on and around you — it works. People will wake you.”
