Thanks Ray and Lazlo,
No candy, no money. Just friendly eye contact, click, and a smile of thank you.
The one time I offered money while traveling was in Egypt, where I\'d read that \"baksheesh\" was expected by everyone. A shy-but-friendly girl let me take her photo; I offered a few coins, and adults came out of doorways and chewed her butt off. I tried to explain, but they knew no English, so I scurried off, feeling like a heel. I never again offered money to a person- and most certainly not to a kid.
But those were long-ago years. What it\'s like now, I don\'t know.
