And in the winter the nights are long and dark. Look at the driver and condition of the car. When in doubt, wave the taxi on. Taxis ordered by phone or through organized services at hotels are often a best bet. Never give your home address to a stranger.
Foreigners are even better targets for thieves.
Exchange business phone numbers and addresses. Never change money alone on the street. On overnight trains take a few simple safety precautions. 2000 InfoServices International Inc., all rights reserved.
