In Latin America, and especially Guatemala, it's close to impossible to take pics of kids as parents tell them that childless white people kidnap them to bring them to their country. Some US women had some trouble with mobs a few years back. Looks like Vietnam is a more healthy mental place...
Yeah it works great - that and they find white people kind of amusing to look at - I'm often referred to as monkey boy - due to the relative abundance of hair on arms / legs.
No kidnapping concerns out in the countryside anyways. Not too sure about the city.
