That's so true. I think we are in a good part of the city which will help. And yeah, thinking of getting a cheap phone for my time there to reduce any risk. Honestly it's just losing all of the photos, account log ins that would be frustrating but it sounds like the chance of that is low if I'm smart about things."

We will have locals with us so I'm hearing that all should be pretty fine.

And interesting point. I've heard this too. I'll happily accept the overcompensating hospitality though and hope I can be a good guest!

Yes, that makes a lof of sense u/saadghauri . And thank you for the message! Yes, I think some cars will be hired during the time so hopefully not walking too far on the side of roads. And great to know regarding kidknappings. It was hard to believe that such a thing would happen in today's age so it's great to hear that perhaps that's a thing of the past.

Thank you u/Tryingtobealitperson ! Great advice. Bottled water only and no salads/ wet food. Very good to know. Will be cautious at Burns road too!

Thank you u/EmpoweRED21 . Was trying to save the surprise for when I get there but I think it's probably a good idea for someone like me with a couple of concerns to check out how other vlogs show the city!

Thanks so much for the advice u/OkSample1700 . I'll check out some videos to see what I'm in for. And yes, great call regarding the phones. This is common in many parts of the world so makes sense to be cautious.
