I was discussing with someone yesterday about these economical cars, light on petrol etc. Don't get me wrong, I have a economical car and yes I appreciate the fact that I save more on petrol money than others at times but I do value my life as well. Now these cars are really light and light in general but in the kind of weather we’ve been experiencing(black south easter) don’t you find it to be dangerous, there’s always a catch.

WORD OF THE DAY

Florid F- L – O – R – I – D; having a red or flushed complexion

S.A TRIVIA QUESTION

Q. Name all nine South African Provinces :

A. The Eastern Cape, The Free State, Limpopo, Gauteng, Mpumalanga, The Northern Cape, KwaZulu-Natal, North West , The Western Cape.

DID YOU KNOW:

Forks were first used in the Middle Ages, but eating with one was considered scandalous.

TIP OF THE DAY:

Today’s tip of the day is about How to be streetwise

1.Trust your gut instinct in any situation. Many people ignore that little warning voice inside of themselves. It is better to be paranoid than to become a victim.

2. Train yourself to be extra careful and alert around crowds. Watch and note any suspicious behavior. Criminals love crowds because they distract most people. Instruct your friends and family to be aware as well. Carry wallets,backpacks and purses in front of your body and never set anything down even for a 'minute' unless you are sitting and it is in front of you in your hands.

3. Understand that evil comes in many forms. Stereotypes of what evil looks like in people cause people to relax in front of strangers.

4. Learn that losing control in ANY public setting is just plain dangerous. If you are even tipsy, your guard goes down.

5. Hold children's hands in public. Do not let them get in front or behind you in a crowd.

6.Distrust anything that is too good to be true. Whether it is a get rich scheme, a beautiful person or couple flirting and coming on to you, a cheap way to sight-see without a established tour guide-DO not trust it and back away.

7. Contact the authorities if any stranger ever asks you to deliver or give a message. Especially if they offer you money.

8. Avoid stopping when walking on the street to give money or cigarettes. Just say "No thank you." Never walk to someones car to give directions. Keep your eyes in front of you and walk quickly.

9.Remember to be alert to people following you. If you are in a bar or hotel and you feel you are being watched, you most likely are right. Again trust that instinct. Call a friend to join or come get you if alone.

10.Practice being calm. Force yourself to think about the steps you will do and do not focus on how scared and upset you are

11.Consider that many robberies take place on quiet streets. Criminals look for a 'lone' victim. They also love tourists because they are busy and distracted. Stay on guard. Do not talk and get lost in a phone conversation while walking in public.

12.Blend in as best as you can. Try not to draw attention to yourself.

13.Get to know people. It's always good to know someone in the neighborhood who you can go to for help.
