When I see groups of obnoxious Singaporeans yakking away loudly in foreign airports, public places, etc. I just shake my head because it's a recipe for disaster. Obvious targets for criminals who prey on foreigners. Always ready to hunt you down. I travel alone mostly so I'm always on high alert when outdoors. Avoid conversations with strangers unless necessary.

Be careful of child pickpockets hanging along Zhuhai's LHL 步行街 . You've been warned!

Good points.. was at ZhuHai recently but not for cheonging. Stayed at the Yong Tong Hotel so did venture to LHL after MN, quite okie as I am not conspicious and speak with a chinese ascent.. dressed in Adidas too (hahaha) so no trouble..

Quite fun but sadly no action... prep for next time lah

Like stark said, low profile is the safe way to go...Dun brag and dun flaunt.

I totally ignored the begger aunties and went about my business..
