i received plenty of that kind of attention along with cheeky verbal remarks from young boys in london and a lot worse treatment by adult men in bazaars in asia. a few weeks ago i went to a restaurant with my husband here. two men came along in traditional local dresses and sat opposite us. one of them took his phone out and conveniently took a photo of me when my husband was right beside me. then he had the cheek to simle at me before leaving.

you are right we have to be careful but sometimes its useless.
