The Tourist Police

On some street corners there are men in grass green colored uniforms; they really stand out. Eileen tells me they are the tourist police. They help people cross the street or answer a random tourist-type question. Generally they are assigned areas where there has been some type of problem in the past like a tourist gets hit by a motorbike crossing the street (fairly common I would imagine) or a crime of some sort has occured. "What are you, the tourist police?" "Well, yes, as a matter of fact, I am." I think it's just funny! I have moving pictures of them standing in groups kibbitzing; I'll endeavor to get a still shot so I can post it.
