If you make it to Hong Kong, go to Ocean Park to visit the giant pandas. They are the most endearing of creatures. However, while at Ocean Park keep your valuables close, pickpockets work the crowds of tourists. I found out the hard way.

Sorry to read of the theft . . in London, the pickpocket gangs use pretty girls as distractions. You got suspicions about this panda?

@Ronnie 2¢: The panda house is fine. You can see who's around you. My troublesome experience was in the aquarium, elsewhere in the park, where you enter a dark area to peer through glass walls at the fish. That's where the thieves were waiting.
