    Even if the person sees the book and talks about it, just reply, "No English", "No English" What's the person going to do? He can't communicate further anyway.

    Umm, in a park , a lady smiled and started communicating saying no English, fist I thought she is asking whether I don't know English. I said I know. Still we communicated , she said some European country , I don't remember now, and said 1 month ago they moved , and their kid is not yet going to school. Who is playing with my son in the park, both are just running behind one another . He just took out shoes. And running simply, cute kid.

    I am trying to say is, if u say no English , they may start asking more questions. Where r u from, etc

    Op, Go to Starbucks near Colleges. There College students spend whole day studying and nobody bothers.About unwanted attention with handing things to you,beware and seek help.You never know, when it might be too tough for u to handle.Never be afraid to ask help.Make friends with employees and tell them to cut short anybody who is interrupting you.Good Luck.
