The big department stores are quite safe. You must be careful at kumbarsari you will be hassled particularly by anyone wanting to show you around, they will take you anywhere where they can get a commission. Just be polite and refuse, they will follow you and be persistant to the point of distraction. be very firm do not listen when they tell you that they have just what you are looking for. The watch boys can be hell until you buy something. They are desperate to earn a living and who can blame them. But be careful , I carry my money in a purse around my neck and under my clothes. Also don't go near the chicken market now that we are aware of bird flu.
