    I went through paris in a jacket with a vertical zippered breast pocket. I was bumpchecked so damn many times, I just wanted to get a little baggie of grease it put it in there, give me a little fun for their trouble.

      when was this? i was in paris in november, and had no issues. granted, i heard pickpockets were an issue, so i just used my phone for payments, but no one bumped me or anything.

        , so i just used my phone for payments

        Let’s just say long before mobile phones could be used as payments :)

        I kept my cash and passport on one of those neck lanyards underneath my shirt.
