Just inexperienced guys frightened of their own shadows. The guys in plaza are private security and have always been there. The extra police presence I posted about it on here back in November.
I find it reassuring, they are there to try to prevent any kind of terrorist activity.The've seen a couple of scared looking european dudes and taken advantage.
U need to look like u belong, walk or stand with confidence. I have many times walked right up to the military and police , they are usually in threes and fours , with a mix from both , and stood and admired the offerings, without any challenges.
Chill out guys.
Sergserg with all due respect is still a relative novice, with I believe 2 or 3 trips under his belt.
Toon on the other hand is a quick study and I would be very intetested to hear how he thinks things are at the moment.
