Be aware of your surroundings at all times. Whoever you are and wherever you go, it is important to remain alert to your surroundings at all times and to take great care not to end up in an area where trouble in the form of fights, confrontation, and aggression is a high likelihood. For example, keep out of known bad neighborhoods if at all possible; when traveling, ask the locals where the safe parts of the city, town, or country are and stay in those.
