They had to be invisible for two reasons. Firstly, their "presence" would not cause yet more problems to locals and as the city centre was crammed to capacity with organised "cultural tours", there was only room left for invisible ones.<br /><br />I would not describe myself an as anarchist. I regard myself as a Social Artist. <br /><br />During those idiot Tours, as I spoke out loudly in English, some people there heard something interesting and tagged onto the group and there would follow a conversation with these people about what I was doing. <br /><br />In this way, I cheered up locals suffering this invasion and I connected with visitors who were not content with consumer tourism.<br /><br />A one-off idiot Tour in Bath was nothing, really, merely keeping my hand in. However, it did lead to an unexpected conversation, which might have positive consequences....<br /><br />Later during that short visit I went on a walkabout with a "I Answer Questions" sign on my hat, which caused a priest there to hurriedly park the car to speak with me. Rather than call me an anarchist, her mindset led her to call me a prophet! In fact, this is my Socrates performance. <br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07191735530130464018noreply@blogger.com
