    Not really odd in general, but might be for first worlders because I apply the same principles even in developed countries:

    • Bag in front to avoid pickpockets.
    • Sit/stand close to a door for quick exits in case of emergencies, but not too close to avoid thieves grabbing your stuff before the doors close.
    • Try to so sit behind the bus driver. They’ll protect themselves first by instinct in a crash so you have a higher chance of survival.
    • Decoy phone in case of a robbery, although I don’t do this often anymore.

        Na, more likely a tourist heavy area. People pay less attention to themselves in an unfamiliar place, too busy looking at the sceanary.
