our tour mates met one ferocious one outside this hotel we stayed in Milan, called The Hub. it is supposedly a rather atas hotel, btw. 4-5 star.
our bus just reached the hotel and the whole tour group was unloading our luggages. klj and me were lucky cuz we were one of the earliest to collect our luggages and headed off to the hotel lobby so we escaped the whole fiasco.
apparently the middle-aged gypsy women, wearing a characteristic scarf over her head, appeared and unzipped the backpack of one of the male tour mates who was still unloading his luggages, but cant find anything valuable there.
so the gypsy went on to another female tour mate, asked her for money. she refused, so the gypsy tried to push her to one corner, used a big scarf to cover the poor girl's bag and tried to steal valuables from her bag from underneath the scarf.
the poor girl realised what the gypsy was trying to do, retaliated by pushing the gypsy back. they had abit of tug of war, and the poor girl fell onto the floor. and i think that is when the girl's boyfriend and other tour mates came to her rescue cuz the gypsy fled after that. nothing was lost and she wasnt really hurt.
i didnt witness any of these, merely heard from the other tour mates. but it sounds scary enough. and so daring omggggg!
my tour leader was furious to find out, and complained to the hotel staff. but they gave a there-is-nothing-we-can-do-about-it response. haiiiii what is it with italy and their high crime rates?? boooooo~~
fyi, i realised bathtubs europe are generally high afterwards, cuz i nearly fell in the subsequent hotels' bathtubs too. hehz.
