Reply to comment by SatansMoisture in TIL the Eiffel Tower is over twice the height of the Tallest Pyramid of Giza by t0rden-X

haha! sorry to hear that but it's on brand.

since visiting Italy, whenever i'm in a European touristy area, i lock my backpack and keep my wallet/passport in a satchel like thing under my clothes. Not that all of Europe is bad, but i find myself in touristy areas and pickpockets are more prevalent than they are here at home.

True story. I luckily had my valuables zipped up inside my jacket (visited Paris in a February) but I still felt someone slide their hand into my back pocket ;)

The Europeans have class. It takes skill to be a pickpocket meanwhile the Americans just shove a gun in your face and mug you
