went out alone at night, it began to rain, a man offered to share his umbrella and then pushed her into an alley and tried to rape her. Rapes have also occurred in the transit vans, mentioned in Chapter 4, but rest assured that these are not common events if you follow my advice above.

Another point to remember is that the zebra crossings on all the roads DO NOT GIVE pedestrians the right of way. Wait for the lights to change to green on the crossing and, before stepping out, look right to confirm that nobody is JUMPING THE LIGHTS, BUT THEN ALSO LEFT as many cyclists move against the flow of traffic, often with loads of water bottles or crates of shopping. Finally, if you do cross on a red light then use both your eyes and ears as high-speed motorbikes are increasing in numbers and there appears to be no check on their speed or death rates of the riders at present.

When walking along the pot-holed and dangerous pavements, if you hear a high-pitched beeping and see a flashing orange light outside a building then beware; it means that any moment a car will appear from a subterranean car park and cross the pavement (see photo).

Finally, beware some shoe-shine boys as they can be very persistent and try to shine even your sandals. Recently, one cleaned the shoes of a naïve visitor before he negotiated a price, and the boy wanted 30 reais (5–6 is normal)!! They have all sorts or tricks so take care.
