Rules of Salvador 1.0

1. If they can't see it, they have a much harder time stealing it. Loop cameras around bra straps, and keep money either tucked into your shorts or your shirt (not pockets! It's very common for people to casually slip their hand into your pocket)
2. Decide on fare price before you leave in a taxi, as they will try to jack it up as much as possible by taking you the scenic route and then charging you more.
3. Ignore the traffic signs, and instead watch the traffic. Drivers run red lights like none other, and motorcycles don't have to obey any traffic laws. Even if it's a one way street, look both ways.
4. If you're a young American woman, you need to be very forceful with men if you don't want their attention. Even smiling or making eye contact, if you dont' explain very carefully that you're not interested, can result in them camping outside your hostel.
5. If the dog is not on a leash, avoid it.
6. Coconut water is the best remedy for hangovers and upset stomachs.
