Dangers & annoyances

Saipan has experienced a rash of burglaries, robberies and purse snatchings in recent times. Take the usual precautions: don't openly count money and don't leave valuables in cars.

Western Garapan's numerous massage parlours generate numerous brazen touts who won't take no for an answer, so take special care when walking around the hotel district at night. Recently, surveillance cameras were installed in the area although their effectiveness has been undercut by technical problems (official sources whined that the cameras were 'switching from colour to black and white and sometimes just shining brightly', making identification difficult).
