A few weeks back, after heading back home from a conference during &quot;rush-hour&quot;, the Google maps app sent me through a very very dodgy area. It was run-down, semi-shanty town. Generally that wouldn&#x27;t be a bad thing, but this being South Africa, with one of the highest crime-rates in the world, it was quite disturbing. You don&#x27;t want to go through &quot;bad parts&quot; of town unless you really have to, especially if you look out of place as either a different skincolor, or nationality. Of which I am both.
