The world is a vampire pay attention. I have traveled everywhere and the worst threat I have ever encountered was in Jamaica - walking to a club a man approached me and said I needed an escort or I would surely be mugged or worse.
I told him all good and thanks I am fine- he followed me anyway when we got to the club he put out his hand and said if I wasn't going to pay for the escort at least I could thank him like a man and shake his hand.
I did he grabbed me with both hands by the wrist and would not let go. Saying I needed to pay him.
Mistake on his part- Judo is my discipline and he found himself on the ground looking up. I laid twenty usd on his chest as he looked at me from the ground.
Helped him up and had a great night in the club
He waited for me outside the club apologized walked me to my hotel and tried to give the money back.
I smiled and told him no worries and see you tomorrow for the escort.
