Thanks GL! You made me smile and chuckle!
I'm glad you had a clean face and that you showered!
Google is great! I googled what not to do as tourists long ago and that was one of the scams people use!
Also the reverse is true. People ask us to take their pictures, then they drop the camera as it is handed back to them, and they blame it is broken and try to force money out of unsuspecting tourists!
Some people can just be awful....ugghhh!!!
