Some tips that come immediately to mind are:  1) set aside the notion that you, as a pedestrian on the streets, have any rights whatsoever because you don't.  Cars, buses and just about anything with wheels own the road, so be very very careful at all times.  Do not assume that a green light in your favor to cross the street has any meaning, because it doesn't.  2)  never get out of a taxi on the left / drivers side, always the right.  The left side door will be taken off by the first passing vehicle.  3) never get off a bus without first looking both ways.  Bikes and small motorcycles will be passing between the bus and the curb 4) pack lightweight, quick dry clothes.  Your apartment might have a washing machine, but almost certainly will not have a dryer  5)  if you are a blade shaver, bring about a years supply.  The blades available here will cut your face to ribbons 6) bring comfortable shoes/footwear. You will do a tremendous amount of walking here.And, of course, bring your camera. [/quote]
