      darealdeal77 reacted to henrythedog's post in the thread is it safe to walk alone at 18 with Like Like.
      Generally ‘yes’ it’s safe - probably more safe than most other countries - but that’s not a reason to switch off and not stay aware and make judgements about what’s around you. You may start out alone, unless you really prefer not to you’ll be...
