Title – Market Place
Date – August 1997
Location - Parapat – Sumatra - Indonesia
Busy market places like this one in Sumatra are a great place to stock up on fresh produce and practice your haggling skills, they offer a wide variety of local produce that may be very new to you, and the hustle and bustle can sometimes be quite intimidating.
But there is safety in numbers and in most countries they are a great place to watch the colourful life of the locals, as they go about their daily routine of buying or selling. But where there are many people you also have to be aware that some might not be there to buy, but rather just to help themselves.
The Gap Year and Independent Travel Safety & Awareness workshop run by Beyond The Blue examines different ways of protecting your valuables and not advertising your wealth. Be it cash, documents or camera equipment (even though the only full proof way of ensuring they don’t get stolen is not have them in the first place), some simple steps will considerably reduce the risks of you drawing attention to yourself and your valuables.
