I do feel much safer here than I would have at home, doing some of the things I do. I figure I am clearly noticeable, and anyone trying to kidnap me etc would be noticed pretty soon.
I have walked back from the centre of the city at 2:00am, stopping to chat with workers etc on the way, walked through small alleyways hone by myself at 4:00am.
At home - no way would I do this stuff. I am very aware of where my purse, camera etc is all the time, and I walk confidently and I do chat to people - so plenty of people will be able to say where I last was.
