    • Being ripped off by street traders is quite possible. Always ask the price before you buy. Being pickpocketed near any tourist destination - i.e everywhere. Don't take taxis if you can avoid.

     It's a beautiful city,dazzling with charm and glamour.u chose bad restaurants/hostel,and didn't even get used and respectful to locals(mopeds, dirt,unserious sellers in touristic spots),don't advise people to leave one of the greatest cities in the world.    		jenniferhen Sat Aug 10, 2002 17:05 UTC
