I think a few of the places we go for clinic are a bit dicey...I am more terrified something will happen to my car than to me!! I can honestly say, as funky as some of the areas look to little ole' me, an American gal, I feel I have been respected no matter where I am around clinic. I only had one occasion where someone followed me and 2 other gals while we were walking (we were pretty far from clinic), but he was always on the other side of the road in his car, whistling no less.
Aside from thinking that he probably wanted a date with one of us, I never really felt in danger. I think no matter where you are, it's always good to be aware of your surroundings; it's not necessary to be paranoid, but be ready to react quickly if necessary. Things can happen anywhere and I have honestly enjoyed my time here...

I have to say that you are overall safer here than almost any US inner city.
