Got my body cleaned of money/American Exp. on a street in Saigon the second day I was there. Rookie on the street hit! Boy do you learn fast. The kids worked in "packs of a half dozen" or so and they'd kinda swarm you from all sides pulling at your clothes and asking for money, candy while at the same time they stripped you clean before you realized what had happened. As a rookie just arriving, I wasn't aware that they worked this way....besides I was busy hanging onto my cameras while forgetting the pockets! Oh well that was a long time ago. And all this because I posted a security note. :) And to my good friend MC Lau in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. You're right, I wasn't "robbed" as in having it taken from my person, but "stolen" is correct due to my stupid laps of attention. Hi MC no sign of an R 8 with a 35-70 around town anywhere? :) ted
