my teenage son (16 yrs of age) has been followed a few times when in the shopping malls. he is rather athletic, tall  for his age and not a bad looking lad. he would be asked for his mobile # (which he says he dont have one as he is  fr out of town or take down the bloke's mobile #, then he would be asked where he is staying. my son would cook up a story that he is just in town visiting for a few days and that he is putting at one of the hotels in town . all of the times that this has happened to him would be fr those men wearing the white traditional outfit and holding the prayer beads(cant say for sure wat national they are as they could even be ppl just wearing that outfit but not fr that country)so i guess being male or female just dont matter anymore huh??
