Are any special precautions required for a woman/women travelling alone?
A. You should observe the same precautions that you would at home, but be prepared for lots of attention. Ours is a macho culture where men are not shy about voicing their appreciation for women. Don’t be alarmed if men direct a “psssst” or sucking sound at you, this is called “sooting”. It usually signals that the man considers you attractive. Walking away or a firm “No” should do the trick.
