Careful for pickpocketing if you’re going to tourist areas. Keep valuables in a closed bag in front of you like a crossbody and not a back pocket or open bag

i wouldn’t do tours either because they take you to all the tourist places for food as well. my parents said they didn’t care or really like the food that much and it’s bc they went through on a tour and didn’t do it by themselves. i lowkey wish i told them they kinda wasted their money (they didn’t but they could’ve had a better time if they did it aloneg

Oh sorry I just thought of something else. Also not even a backpack on your back. I know people who got stuff taken from their backpack there. It might seem hard to steal from a closed backpack but they’re skilled. That’s why you see people walking around with their backpack on their front sometimes

I was also told DO NOT EVER WEAR a baseball cap. Baseball cap = sign for American tourist. I’ll be a target for sure with a backpack or a baseball cap! Thank you!
