What I learned:
1) You don't wanna travel too far from your hotel in case you might get mugged.
2) Don't drink the water or eat the food. Too many bugs.
3) Don't bother meating the locals. They can't talk Engrish anyway.
4) Never take a taxi. They'll just drive your around and around and charge you a lot of American $$.
5) Don't go out at night.
6) Don't stay in hostels. Too many thieves stay at those places.
7) Just about every country you'll visit is full of thieves and robbers and crooks and liars. Don't go there.
8) Never fly on a foreign airline. All of their airplanes are mechanically unfit, are crewed by incompetents and crash often.
And finally,
9) There's no place like home.
HAVE FUN!
