jordy,

love the post! i am amused at the idea that we would have also had a good time in seoul if we had just spent it talking (me more so than ever). really do love the spontaneity of the post, and what you were going for was totally delivered.

let’s rock climb some day. i’ve been wanting to do it, and i can provide that camaraderie your betters cannot. lol.

you’re right. a lot of blogs out there are riddled with too much audience and purpose. maybe you’ve found a way to envision your audience naked, finally.

hope all is well. glad i stumbled on your blog

I'm really impressed with your writing skills and also with the layout on your blog. Is this a paid theme or did you modify it yourself? I’ll certainly digg it and personally recommend to my friends. I have bookmarked it in my minimum deposit poker site and google bookmarks. Either way keep up the excellent quality writing, it’s rare to see a nice blog like this one nowadays..

@Jackson I’ll admit, the food in Mongolia was a little rough on my foreign stomach, but nothing about my writing is rushed. Excessively labored? Over-long? A poor fit for our current attention spans? Sure! But not rushed Thanks for reading.

Comment on How to Get Pick Pocketed: A Step by Step Guide by Jordy

@Peter As a fellow New Yorker (born in the Apple, raised in the Garden State), I believe I was operating under a similar sense of misguided hubris. I really like to peel back the tourist curtain, and I try, for a few days, to live as much like a local as a rich foreigner can. Sometimes, this ends up scaring me. The Black Market scared me. The UB buses really scared me. And that’s why we do it…

Jordy…..Very good article….and really true! I had the same experience in Manila…I insisted on going to the Chinatown ‘black market’…..even when all my local Filipino friends strongly advised me not to (after all – I was a NEW YORKER and I knew all the tricks!)…..then, after surviving the Chinatown threat- instead of considering myself fortunate…..I decided that I had to experience the Manila subway system. My friend begged me to let her put my money in her purse – but I’m a NEW YORKER – no one pick pockets a NEW YORKER! The push/stumble/jockey/bump moves you described came at the 2nd stop – I was amused at how the locals bounced around…not like a seasoned NEW YORK subway rider…… They got my ATM card, my Amex card, my driver’s license, my work I.D. my cell phone (which was in the other buttoned pocket) about 4,000 Philippine pesos (only $88.00 USD) and most of my dignity! What a moron! Who wouldn’t flash all his money when buying a ticket and doesn’t everyone carry ALL their cards and I.D together in the same money clip! Like you, I would have gladly contributed all the cash I had – I had a nightmare trying to get cash for my last two weeks in Manila, but fortunately I got by with the help of some friends.

Thanks for a great blog – sometime I’ll tell you about another time I was ‘rolled’ by three 7 year old kids! That’s another good one!

Pete
