pickpocketting heaven.

so the TripAdviser (but i read it on the Age traveller) has come out with a list of the top 10 cities to get pickpocketed
and here they are:

1. Las Ramblas, Barcelona, Spain
2. Rome, Italy
3. Prague, Czech Republic
4. Madrid, Spain
5. Paris, France
6. Florence, Italy
7. Buenos Aires, Argentina
8. Amsterdam, Netherlands
9. Athens, Greece
10. Hanoi, Vietnam

but for me i find this a bit peculiar, when i clicked into the article i totally thought the top places would be in china or like india, where the population density is so great
and if it weren't for no. 10
i would have totally believed that it was just a list about the places in europe
but then, another thing could be that
since places like china or india, the population density is so great
and that theres a lot of desperate people
that travellers would take extra precautions
like wearing fanny packs (haha) in china
whereas in europe you'd be more laid back
because you don't think you'd get robbed.
and also i guess the list was cities
so there was probably no one particular city you'd get robbed at in china/india
i don't know
i do find it peculiar that its all european cities pretty much.

anyhow

toodles!
