Talk:Getting Around the City/@comment-221.7.131.181-20110820051739

Re: theft. Don't wear jewelry around town. One of the teachers had her gold earrings ripped off her ears. Re: Bikes. The traffic is crazy and doesn't follow traffic rules as we know them. Before heading off campus on a bike, watch how people drive them and talk to people who use them. From the East campus to SCIC there is a school bus---ask someone how to use it. There are pedicabs for hire to get around the campus. Buses are often very hot and crowded. I often save my sanity and health by taking a taxi around town. It's expensive, but worth arriving cool. But that's me. Lots of people prefer to walk. Downtown is about a 30 minute walk.
