I was pleasantly surprised at the lack of hassling of women that I saw, particularly since I had my 14-year old step-daughter along. She is quite attractive, and I was dreading the trip before we went. But there were no issues, or even any inappropriate stares or anything as far as I could see (and I was quite vigilant). Probably doesn’t hurt that I’m 6’ tall, 195 lbs., and active in Tae Kwon Do, cycling, and hiking...
You have a point. :)
I'm glad that you and your stepdaughter and your family had a nice trip. She's lucky to have you as a protector. :)
My daughter just turned 17 and gosh....you feel so protective, because they begin to have a woman's body, but not the world experience to deal with some of what they might face.
