I know Paris is really bad about PP.  I generally put a wallet in my back pocket full of paper, and carry a slim wallet in my front pocket with a loose credit card to pay for whatever, so I don't ever expose anything.  If you're out of the main tourist areas you usually will be OK.  If you notice a young gypsie looking girl approaching you, asking questions of any sort, or someone asks if you speak English, do not respond, walk the other way.


I bought "travel pants" from Costco. They have rear and side zippers.


One time in Florence were approached by a gypsy. I gave him a verbal beatdown and told him to leave us alone.

2 years later in Florence, we see him approaching again. He took a good look at me and said, "I remember you" and walked away.

I just ignore them and walk away quickly, paying them no attention.  One gimmick they have is to scare you into reaching for your wallet so they know where it is.  I would not stand for 5 seconds having words with them ever.  Once you get away from the touristy areas they are not there.

This guy is at the Santa Maria Novella piazza.

The problem with this one is when you just keep walking, he follows you. 

Relentlessly.

Hence the verbal beatdown.

Oh, I've never had anyone follow me.  They usually have a spot and move on to the next dude.

Comic Con down the street over the weekend:










These next two were more unexpected - displays for That 70s Show and a miniature fairgrounds commemorating Roseanne. The former sponsored by LAFF Channel, the latter by COZI TV where their reruns are broadcasted. Not sure if anyone gets those channels.
