  • Watch out for your belongings at the crowded metro stops. Two kids about 8-10 y.o.were pushing me on a crowded train, and by the time (just seconds away!!) I realized my bag was opened. They soon got off at the next stop. Fortunately, a water botter blocked my wallet in it, so they couldn't reach down. So watch out for not only suspecious adults but also the kids!! They are swift!

  • Paris is great, but it is also full of crazy bums and weirdos!! I got harrassed a lot whenever I wore a nice dress. I even got attacked once! It totally freaked me out!!!! So I always dress down--just simple tops and jeans. I know it's a pity not to wear your beautiful clothes in such a city of fashion, but for safety, it's wiser to do so when you are traveling as a solo female. For Asian travelers, watch out when you are visiting the red light district in Northern Paris. I've heard guys get robbed during the day!!!....let alone at night. Stay alert.
