European mafia tourism
Reading about anti-mafia protests in Italy prompted me to wonder:
What would a tourist have to do to come into obvious contact with organized crime, anywhere in Europe? What businesses do they run where their presence is unmistakable, and which you'd deal with as a visitor? Taxis in Glasgow, maybe? I've had a Glasgow cabdriver threaten to knife me and they've done a lot worse, but even there it wasn't obvious at the time thet I might have been dealing with more than an individual psycho. Catholic churches all over Europe are propped up by mafia money, but you aren't likely to walk in and find them saying mass for a victim of a turf war. ==== j a c k at c a m p i n . m e . u k === http://www.campin.me.uk ==== Jack Campin, 11 Third St, Newtongrange EH22 4PU, Scotland == mob 07800 739 557 CD-ROMs and free stuff: Scottish music, food intolerance, and Mac logic fonts |
