[Barrie Yates]

I have been in a few "wrong" places in my time, decidedly hairy in a couple of them - Riyadh old soukh and chop square, Lahore, Mirpur in Pakistan, Bombay, wrong side of the tracks in Baltimore and Washington, but never felt really threatened. Tucson at a swap meet where there were so many chaps with guns on their hips and large knives on their legs and probably the worst of all, Agua Preta and Nogales in Mexico and South Tucson - there I did feel nervous. Mustn't forget Cyprus, Singapore, Sarawak and Borneo especially Tawau, Aden and West Berlin where you didn't go out on your own during the cold war.
Most unsavoury places are OK if you do not get isolated and keep your wits about you.
