Zambia

Women should avoid going to bars alone. Furthermore, men should avoid purchasing drinks for Zambian women they meet casually in bars; this is an invitation to spend the night. There is a 10PM curfew throughout most of the country. Avoid being found on the street after 10PM or risk being arrested. As the Kwacha has been declining, it often takes fistfuls of cash to purchase items. Be careful about flashing money. While it's possible to get a good exchange rate from an individual money-changer on the street (although you really should use banks if you can), you should avoid changing money with groups of men. They are likely running a scam. Generally, Zambians are friendly people. However — as with any location — be careful about walking at night, especially if you've been drinking. There are few streetlights, and many of the locals are very poor
