Julia startled at the tapping of her shoulder but then, seeing it was Lin, she smiled.<br/><br/><strong>"Oh, Lin! This is horrible! They took me for a prostitute! This challenge is impossible! Look how they fled away! Can't we just..."</strong><br/><br/>Meeting Lin's cold stare, she understood that bailing out was not an option. She took the bottle of Vodka and took two swigs. The strong alcohol burned down her oesophagus and made her cough. But soon it also had the effect of warming her and somewhat lifting her inhibitions. Maybe the Vodka was not a bad idea after all...<br/><br/>As she resumed her hunt, she reflected about the best strategy. The direct attack had been a complete fiasco. She had to change her approach. She walked for another 50 metres so as to reach a part where her previous attempt had not been noticed and then slowed down as she approached a small group of men sitting around a table on the side-walks, drinking beers and laughing loud.<br/><br/>She glanced and smiled at them but did not say a word, walking more slowly as she approached, waiting for them to take the initiative.
