As with any major city, pickpocketing is prevalent, so take care to protect your valuables. Panhandling is common, and unless you feel some connection with the beggar, it is best to ignore him or her, or, if necessary, say a firm "no" to any request. Be careful with taxis; use only those that are government-licensed (a purchasing booth is located to the left after your arrival at the airport), and stick with cabs hailed by your hotel concierge.
