Although, the words change in each region, we would have to listen in context to hear the local slang for a new word.

She has travelled quite a lot in places where you need to be cautious of pickpockets but she had let her guard down and says she knew better and should have had the purse in front. The good thing was that even if they had gotten into the purse they would have gotten very little because she was following our suggestion to only carry what you think you might spend and nothing more and having no valuables that you aren't willing to lose in it.<br /><br />Guaranteed she will be much more aware today when we are in another very busy market.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-60362879090597902082019-01-20T08:38:01.984-05:002019-01-20T08:38:01.984-05:00It would be hard to forget these guys, the work is...It would be hard to forget these guys, the work is absolutely stunning.

Rather, over your head, and under an arm, with the purse resting on your tummy ... and one hand on the purse! I hope you told Denise.
