[quote=JABAROOTOO              ,10110]Foot note to the imbalance of men and women in China.  How did this post get so off track.  I've also been ripped off over transport, had kids try to pick my bags twice while locals kindly tipped me off.  I've even hit a pick pocket trying it on with another passenger right under my nose on a bus.But lets face it this could happen to any one of us in any of our own countries.  Its just that we stick out a little more here and there's also the perception that we have more money(not always the case) but we usually have cameras and equipment that is worth something too.  And I bet most of us seldom us public transport at home.It's just a case of travelling as light and tight as possible.  I use a change pouch so I seldom have to go to my main source of cash in public and when I'm in a crush one hand is always on my valuables.I've had older gentlemen on the street kindly advise me to keep my handbag which I use around town when not traveling, in front of me where I can see it.As a female who often travels solo here I usually feel pretty safe and I know that the average Chinese will help out if he can but I am very careful and wary especially in crowds and the seamier sides of cities that you so often find yourself in if you want to experience some reality.  It happens everywhere[/quote]
