Touters of Saigon

Are bright-eyed and witty, a completely different species from their Cambodian counterparts, who I'll rant about later. I bought a few 'fake' books from this book lady. Fake books rule! They're slimmer than the original version thanks to thin paper and a lack of all that crap at the front and back - it's all book.
Cobain and I had a few different playful tactics for dealing with touters. If seated, we would pretend to be asleep. As the urchin would come up to us, we'd mumble under our breaths '3...2...1' and then our heads would simultaneously slump to the side, eyes closed. Most made a sound of disgust and walked off, but one girl ripped out some of Cobain's leg hair in reaction. The other tactic, when approached on foot, was to run off and scream like a ninny in mock horror. Might as well make it interesting for everyone.
