Safety update for Safety & Police based on recent experience and community reports:

General Safety Level: Higher risk than average — stay vigilant.

Common Risks:
- Petty theft in crowded areas — keep valuables secure
- Fake police demanding bribes — ask for badge number
- Romance scams — be skeptical of offers

Areas to Avoid:
Tourist areas are generally safe but stay alert.

Police Situation:
Corruption exists but tourists rarely targeted.

Stay safe out there.

I was there in March and prices were exactly as described. Spent about $100/day all-in.

My tip: avoid weekends.
