It’s a scam really no different from calling someone on phone and trying to convince him to send money to your bank account. ---

Allow me to propose a neologism / new marketing concept. Feel free to pass it on to your begpacking friends: (drumroll…) **"Twerkpacking"** ---

Hk has many in Kowloon and on Hk island, primarily tourist areas. Some perform music while others sell things plus all sorts of strange behaviours. ---

Actually I told one of those “Send me money to go home ones” to piss off so to speak. He then offered me money to leave him alone。 No I didn’t take it as it would be extortion. And would demanding protection money off beg packers be worse than actually being a beg packer ? A questions for the philosophers on here. ---

> [@Shaun008](#): > > he must be making a packet if he is offering up bribes to keep the spot, > how many lattes can we get out of him? I was too taken by surprise to know how to answer. He had what looked about 5 to 10 000 in his box. The sign said something like “Kind people of Taiwan please help me on my journey”. He was sitting in the lotus position in a kind of meditation pose. Blonde, young, with pony tail. Taipei Main Station. Yes, I think he was making A LOT of money. I’d normally ignore it but just having a bad morning , and so I kind of was in the wrong too, but anyway just posted because his reply was so unexpected. It would be kind of like extorting drug dealers but way less risk LOL ---

A European man with his head shaved dressed up as a monk sitting on top of a very small seat that was suspended by a thin wire connected to a base on the ground. I took a photo but I don’t have it anymore so I can’t upload it here to show you. It was an illusion! ---

The man was seated about 5/6 feet above the ground! I moved closer to look under his monk robe only to find a thin wire. Let me see if I can find the photo… [Next page](https://tw.forumosa.com/t/begpackers-around-the-world/180374.md?page=2)
