student safety in St Petersburg - THANKS!

[Sibelan Forrester]

Thanks to everyone who sent information and suggestions about student 
safety in Russia! Two common threads seem to be 1) not being a noisy 
American (which can invite crime no matter how one looks), and 2) 
excellent preparation of the whole study group before they go abroad so 
that minority students know what to expect and *everyone* is better 
prepared for the possibility of unpleasantness.

With appreciation and best wishes,

Sibelan
