The same behaviors will get you mugged in safe cities and unsafe cities.
Wonder like a local. Look casually disinterested just like you're walking home from work.

- FredPret 4y agoHilarious! You must have only been in the first world then. I moved from one of the most dangerous cities in the world to one of the safest. Wandering in the latter is fun, in the former - it's Russian roulette. You have to go from A to B, as fast and carefully as possible.

If your random track gets you to a sketchy zone, increase your speed and outward sense of purpose. I have wandered all over a bunch of Mexican cities, and still have only ever been mugged on a hiking trail in the N. Georgia (US) mountains.
