I discovered a super sneaky way to be a tourist without being too invasive!!! I feel quite clever... You do it like so...
1. Carry a handbag similar to this one (yes, even you men! I know you can do it!! ahaha!!!):
2. Hold the camera around chest level in a sneaky way, like this:
Hot tip: Make sure you look away constantly, as demonstrated -- it really throws them off. (I suspect they're so busy trying to figure out what the demented foreigner is doing or looking at, that they never notice the camera one is trying to draw attention away from. Decoy supreme! [You may also want to consider practicing with a bar of soap, as demonstrated.]) You may also want to hold the display/back of the camera against your chest, otherwise, the lights that show up on the back might give away your sneaky design and ploy.
This explains the angle of some of my filming, ahahaha. I'm really quite pleased with myself. Although I've been doing the tourist thing, I actually dislike it -- it's embarrassing, but a necessity, if one desires to keep one's family and friends entertained. Amen. Sigh...
