Since leaving France in 2011, we've traveled and worked and traveled again for a total of three years. We crossed four continents and visited 15 countries. And in that whole time we never had any trouble until the last month of our trip and in the last country, when we were mugged ! Not with guns or machetes and whatnot, but we were threatened and robbed. Can you believe that ? We were in Malaysia, visiting the botanical garden on Penang island, the last place you'd expect to encounter ruffians.

There we were, sitting on the curb, eating some fruit, when some thugs started walking in our direction, throwing us dirty looks. We were told they were called Macaques. Mac, eh ? Sounds Irish. And they could barely walk upright. Yup, a bunch of Irish alright, drunk in the morning, and heading home. Then they started veering our way with menacing grins.

Fast as lightning, this Mac-what'shisname rushed Pauline in a threatening manner. Pauline knew better than to mess with drunk Mac-whatevers in the morning. She dropped her bag and ran before they could take anything else. Luckily, they just got some mangoes, bananas, and apples.
