I'm sure a few American tourists have narrowly escaped being flattened by a big red bus by ignoring the signs printed on the street telling them to Look Right then Look Left. Alternatively, you can just look in both directions like we did just to make sure nothing is coming to flatten you. Perhaps that's from years of experience with bike messengers in Chicago who never travel in the right direction.

This warning could apply to virtually anywhere in the world, I seem to see this particular con virtually everywhere we go and can't believe that there are still people who fall for this centuries old con. We happened to see this in broad daylight near Covent Garden on our last visit. The basic equipment is three shells and a round object such as a pea, the con man has his ringer (always shifty looking fellows) pick the winning shell with the pea under it a couple of times, oohs and aahs come from the crowd and then the con man starts taking bets from unsuspecting tourists and taking their money in this sleight of hand. A third conman is usually posted as a lookout, the game is always ready to travel upon the appearance of local law enforcement. Another variation on this is three card monte, anytime you see a man with shells or cards on a paper box, feel free to watch from a safe distance but never ever plunk your money down, it's a sucker bet and you are sure to lose.

christine.j Tue Jul 7, 2009 11:44 UTC A great page! The triathlon must have been some experience! And RyanAir, yes I also hate the fact that they keep switching gates all the time.But don't blame the staff, their working conditions are not good at all, neither is the pay. | Kokid08 Fri Jun 19, 2009 22:18 UTC Thanks for the Bus tip. I wasn't aware of this service. It should save me a lot of money over the tour buses. | yooperprof Mon Jun 8, 2009 01:15 UTC So many interesting restaurant tips here - a lot to "digest". I'll definitely try Belgo North - I'll be staying up in Camden anyway. | Jenniflower Tue May 5, 2009 15:43 UTC You must have a wonderful time in Ukraine - cannot wait to see you :)) |
