I'd love to blend in V but my Nikkon DSLR is a bit of a give away. On our recent trip Mrs J tried out a light, bright and compact Olympus OMD and I must say that I am very impressed with the images as well as its unobtrusiveness. Perhaps that may be the way for me to in the future too.
Personally, on my recent visit to Paris, I found the street life so crowded and hurly-burly that I doubt anyone paid the least bit of attention to what I was wearing. And it wasn't even high tourist season. Fun to go my own merry way and not have to think everyone was judging my apparel. I did, however, wear the most stylish of sneakers (by Paris standards) and blended right in as I covered many miles as a flaneur.
The answer is pretty obvious, I'd say (although you never know!). And why would anyone get riled up over this, whether you were in jest or dead serious??

ReplyDeleteLe touriste, c'est celui qui a des chaussures de sport. Un vrai parisien met des souliers noirs pour aller dans une si belle pâtisserie.
ReplyDeleteI always figure the shop owners in places like this are pleased with the attention, even more so if the attention brings more business.

ReplyDeleteWhen I travel, no one would ever guess that I am a tourist. (Not much.)
