I’ve traveled overseas to a country not nearly so poor and I was warned, and had the sense as well, not to take anything of any great value.
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that you’re likely to get robbed for something like that. It happens here sometimes, it WILL happen there.
But your projecting about my thoughts and motives is very revealing, but just because you’d do something, doesn’t mean everyone else would.
That's what may happen; if you 'forget' to wear your special undies!!
