including the Chinatown casinos - the best chip run I ever did.
Take my wife to different tourist spots I could think of during the day.
At night I standby the taxi drop point and walk about to waiting taxi drivers - offer to buy their casino chips - tips given to them that they accumulate - my pricing system adopted at that time was - current US $ exchange plus half pound to one pound added to the UK casino chips - I came home with a ton of UK chips.
One guy told me to meet him at Harrods department one morning that he had plenty of casino chips to sell - and he really did. All my UK chips that I sold to several UK collectors where from this guy. I had a swell time walking London for days - but sometimes I got lost on the street name - "Place" "Lane" "Circle" and what have you - especially in the Piccadilly areas.
I was used to the Philippines where there was on one street in and same street out - compounded with US horizontal and vertical grids, but I wanted to go back to London - someday I hope will do the walk again - only I have to buy a new London Walk Map.
But I think what Walter meant was that they will look at me as "$" - once I am in will buy the local t-shirts and cap which say - "hasta la vista baby".
