The other lessons learned is that when you're travelling you should really trust your insticts and gut feelings: about people, places and things. Trust your gut over what other people tell you.
For example, is a local genuinely trying to be your friend or extort you? This is an ok neighbourhood to stay?
Sometimes the line is fine... but I've only gotten in trouble the times that I don't listen to my gut.
