Hey, guys -- lighten up. No reason to feel defensive about a "few bad eggs" who rip off the tourists. In the good ole U S and A, you no doubt know, a few of these folks even rip off the citizens. I live in Chicago, a city not noted for its peaceful mein, n'est-ce pas? But if you want some safety tips about travelling here & taking (Nikon) pictures, let me know, and I'll be happy to advise. And we (most of us, anyway) don't eat kids, except for the goat kind -- and then, not commonly! Yours for a peaceful world, Gil
