“Always buy a cheap camera with a big traveler’s check at a drug store” she tells me. “That will be so obviously a tourist move they won’t even look twice. Take pictures, but not of anything that will identify where you are. Don’t even play around with that. A street sign in the background, the shape of a building or a lighthouse- it’s not worth it. Really, you should just expose the film anyhow. What the hell do you need pictures for. And don’t smile. People remember smilers. They ignore bored people. Be bored. Another shitty day in paradise. No clerk will ever remember you. They don’t want to remember tourists. Remember that. If you ask directions, do it at restaurants, never hotels and not hotel restaurants either. You want as little contact with hotel staff as you can manage. They are the first people someone looking for you will ask.”
