Thanks , its great advice to all for all places. I will also be on the lookout for snatch thieves as I've been warned that it is a problem there even for phillipiinos! Handphones are the most vulerable
Cheong places naturally attract the lowest scum out to make a fast buck so safetly is always no1. Eye contact is important ; look straight and unfriendly (even angry!) on the streets and no one will approach you. But even locals fall for these scams so always go out preparing to to lose everything on you - this will remind yourself not to bring too much out.
