A few weeks back, after heading back home from a conference during "rush-hour", the Google maps app sent me through a very very dodgy area. It was run-down, semi-shanty town. Generally that wouldn't be a bad thing, but this being South Africa, with one of the highest crime-rates in the world, it was quite disturbing. You don't want to go through "bad parts" of town unless you really have to, especially if you look out of place as either a different skincolor, or nationality. Of which I am both.
