I grew up in the US, in several big cities along the east coast.  I was a teenager in the late 60s and early 70s.  This was a time of race riots...  of Black supremacist gangs...  of extremely racist police forces.  A friend and I were mugged by five young black guys when I was 15.  Fortunately, they just took our money.  It was a violent time.  The National Guard was on duty as a police-keeping force in my home town for 15 months.  We had a curfew.  We had to cut basketball practices short so I could get home before the curfew.

I could not help but pick up some street smarts.  So when I walk around a city, my "antenna"" are up (a little less so when I've had too much to drink).  The only times I've felt unsafe walking alone late at night have been in parts of China.  Hong Kong, Singapore, even Bangkok seem fine.  I would be hesitant to push my luck too far in Manila, though...

Have fun, CGP
