How long are you away for and where are you planning to get to?
yep totally agreed. just trying to go to food stands that have men, women, children etc. The locals hopefully only eating the safer options.
I'm away now until early december, but will be heading to australia in january and then South East Asia sometime after that.

Btw, in third world countries it's a good idea to not take your cell phone out in the streets, if you wanna use it get in some shop and take it out of your pocket thete. Treat close to anyone suspicious as a potential bandit and keep distance from them!
.
Even for people that were born in there it's hard to avoid getting stolen, so it must be really hard for people in developed countries to do that. A good idea is to have a busto phone so you can use while walking in the streets. That **** is so abysmal that here in.brazil we have a word that means "when lots of bandits join to steal together"(lol), they go in groups of 20+ and start stealing as much as they can, happens fairly often in rio in the most famous beaches.
I hear what you're saying, but from what i can tell, Mexico is no where near as unsafe as people make out. Of course, if you're not sensible then you can easily be targeted, but for the most part it feels pretty safe. Thanks for the hu in case i find myself in Brazil though haha

Just a poker update today because i just grinded another unreal 500z pool. Mexican time zone is the nuts for stars. However, yet again, i literally lost every single pot. Really really ****ing rough. Getting closer and closer to evens for the year too, fml.
maybe this is a fold but this reg is suuuuuper active. The only issue is the frequency at which turn bluffs contain the Kc. That said, he
could be wider. Obviously folding to a shove. The more i think about it, the more i think the call is a mistake. bleh

Bluff vs reg. He literally SNAPPED the river. Wtf are his river folds if he doesn't fold this? Guess 6c is fairly relevant. Again though, maybe my bluff is too ambitious. Thoughts?
