Avoid
walking alone in cities you are visiting. Stay away from barren areas,
particularly at night. Use only registered taxi services and approved
or recommended public transport. Avoid
obvious displays of wealth. Do not use your mobile phone in public and
avoid carrying or wearing expensive clothing, jewelry, etc. Minimize the time spent carrying valuable equipment, such as laptop computers. Carry
only the amount of cash you will need for one day. If you use credit
cards, carry only one and keep the remainder of your cash and cards in
a hotel safe. Carrying credit or bank cards in high risk areas is not recommended.
