  • If you don't do it anywhere else, please wear your neck wallet here. Your pockets will get picked sure enough. At Notre Dame, some gypsies have the ruse of a flower-laden trolley. While folks admire the flowers, accomplices pick their pockets.

    Also, be extra careful during "standing room only" situations on the tube because thieves will bump up real close against you and pick your pockets that way.

  • Once you step off the kerb to cross the road, keep on going without hesitation. The traffic won't hit you. If you hesitate and stop, you're stuck. It happened to me!
