I'm desperate to have this happen to me! I do so want to have fun with the scammers and turn the tables. Year after year, I put on my "tourist duds" and carry a Lonely Planet and a camera. And I can't seem to get approached by anybody in the normal tourist areas such as Tiananmen. The only place I get bugged by the annoying pairs of girls accosting me, is when standing above the Guomao ice rink.
I suspect maybe I am not as attractive or charming as rankourabu.
