11. [+11,644, -104] If you're vacationing abroad in Paris or Italy, you really have to be careful of the theft crimes that happen against tourists.
2. [+11,311, -191] Always be careful of theft when traveling overseas. Korea's a country that has awesome public order, but don't expect the same.
3. [+8,218, -193] Paris is embarrassing France ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
4. [+5,451, -57] Really need to be careful when traveling in Europe..
5. [+938, -9] Paris has always been known for poor public order and theft. Just have to be careful and be mindful of how much you're carrying when you go out.
6. [+873, -14] I was wondering why Robin said on 'Abnormal Summit' that Seoul had way better public order than Paris. I've heard countless stories from my friends who've been robbed in Paris and Spain and other tourist cities.
7. [+816, -15] Paris is hell lately... lots of bad things happening.. it's not the beautiful Paris people remember from the '90s..
8. [+717, -8] No matter how much I complain that it's hard living in Korea, I'm satisfied with our internet speed and public order. I have a co-worker who's working abroad in Mexico right now and his wish is to be able to walk the streets freely like he did here..

1. [+887, -17] France is very dangerous right now. There are a lot of racist crimes and gypsies everywhere. Italy's known for pickpocketers but France is more dangerous nowadays.
2. [+803, -32] Only people who've never been to Paris call it the city of romance. Anyone who's walked in the city at night should know that you end up seeing everything that exceeds your imaginations ㅋㅋㅋ
3. [+683, -13] There are so many pickpocketers!!! I got robbed a small amount but I was on my guard the entire rest of my stay!!!
4. [+51, -1] Koreans don't seem to realize how good they have it here with public order. We're one of the best when it comes to it. Europe's nearly overtaken with pickpocketers and people looking to scam you. The scams we pull on our tourists is nothing compared to them.
5. [+48, -2] My friend went to Paris and got pickpocketed too... really changes my image of the city --^
6. [+31, -6] Before I went to France, I heard so many horror stories about people being robbed and how dangerous it is... but if you just carry around the bare necessities, nothing happens to you. No reason to get scared before your vacation. There are tons of people who've had safe trips.
7. [+29, -2] I remember there were three gypsies who came up to me smiling while holding out a piece of paper. If that ever happens to you, just scream at the top of your lungs. They approach you acting like they're trying to ask you questions for a survey but they're really just pressing up against you to the point where you can't even look at your feet so that they can steal money out of your bag. I screamed so loud when that happened that they just ran away.
8. [+27, -3] I went with a friend before and 5 people who looked like they were in a gang surrounded us. Fortunately, a Spanish man helped us escape but they still ended up taking my phone and my friend was hit a few times. They even ended up calling my parents from my phone and threatening that they had kidnapped me and demanding a ransom. There are even some that spoke Korean.
9. [+26, -1] To all the women, don't hold your cellphones in your hand when you're waiting for a bus somewhere. I once had female gypsies come and take my phone out of my hand and stuff it in their underwear. When I reported them, only a female officer could search a female culprit so I had to wait and ended up missing the bus to my airport and missing my flight as well. I've seen so many other Koreans lose their phones before their eyes and crying the entire trip back.
10. [+25, -2] Seriously, be careful when vacationing in France... Random groups of kids will just run up to you and create havoc and before you know, you're missing your things.
