Smart enemy is better than a stupid friend
I met this nice group of mongers in my last trip, and we used to hang out on the strip at night, one night I saw one of them setting with a Dominican kid (something like 16-18 yrs old) , he invited me to set with them, and this kid was trying hard to talk to me and act as if he is already my buddy, my friend went to the washroom and this kid drank have of his beer bottle, later I told him and he thought no problem, and he told me that he is a good friend who met on the beach and to trust him and so, later that night this kid came to me and ask for money to take the bus and visit his family. I gave him a 100 pesos just to cut the crap, later I asked everybody in the group and this kid told each one of them the same story and asked for the bus money. So, I let all the group knows about it and to watch out, and my friend still think its ok and he is a good kid and he is just poor and need money, you know some people are just idiots, anyway, couple days later I'm walking with a girl on the strip and this kid come and ask me where I'm going, and he walk with us as if we don't know where we are going and he is showing us the way, then he ask for money for helping us to get there, WTF, that was it for me, I refused and told him to play someone else and to leave us alone, he got angry and we were about to start a fight but the girl shouted at him some Spanish and he left. From that time I know that its good to have a wing-man or a group of mongers to watch out for each other, but just be careful because there is more shit that comes from an idiot friend who doesn't listen or learn than from an enemy.
