Well, it's been a long time.
My girlfriend went to the Ukraine a few years ago, and she used one of those money pouches in the front of her pants... I'm worried about the damned thing, personally. I don't like the idea of reaching into my trousers for a couple Euros...but I will probably end up getting the stupid thing.
My parents got "accosted" while eating in Rome, and the gypsies are vicious - ever seen the movie "Snatch"? Bloody pikeys...
But seriously, I'd rather not carry a wallet at all when I'm over there, "decoy" or not. Not being a target at all is a better idea than being a decoy.
I've planned on just wearing single-color shirts and some tropic-weight khakis from LLBean.com ... they seem to look the part of "European wannabe on vacation."
Jorgelito had some good tips, as did Turbofish; I guess I won't be wearing my "USA #1" t-shirt to Paris. Damn. I'll just stick to wearing sunglasses at all times and chewing lots of fruity bubble gum - loudly.
Thanks for the advice. I'll try to let you guys know if it turns out like a Chaucer tale or not.
