[quote=Anonymous]Completely disagree with everyone telling OP to “just get a map” and wander around alone. Do you all really think that’s the issue? She’s been before, and her instincts have continued to tell her to be careful, and she’s totally right. When you’re dealing with a different culture than the one you’re used to spending 90% of your time in, you can’t assume you have the proper situational awareness to understand how sketchy of a situation you might be about to walk into, because the markers we look for (movements, facial expressions, intonations) are simply DIFFERENT. Similarly, depending on where you are in the world, you don’t know what you are signaling with your mannerisms or the way you interact with others on the street. If you’re really well-traveled as a woman, sometimes alone, then you know this. You can figure out how to adapt quickly, but you also know when you are out of your depth. And if OP is not so well-traveled, then, well, she should continue to listen to her instincts until things can start to look familiar or recognizable to her.
