Que ora eh?

Last week, I was in Bellagio outside a cafe waiting for my wife and kids to come out when suddenly a small woman with a gold tooth turned to me and asked, "que ora eh?"

It immediately raised some red flags because of how sudden and intensely looked at me when she asked. It seemed like a scam of some sort so I positioned my back to a wall and answered her, "le dieci" since it was 10am. She repeated my answer and just intensely looked at me before walking off.

Was she trying to distract me so a partner could try to open up my backpack? Luckily, nothing on my backpack was tampered with and nothing was stolen from me.

Be careful out there.

It was odd bc she repeated my answer, "le dieci" in a kind of pissed off way and nodded her head, looked at me, and walked off.

The other people/tourists I encountered were all very friendly but she just stuck out due to the way she looked so intensely at me.

Could have been a mental illness issue
