Know before you go
Be aware of touts on the street who may try to lure you to bars with exorbitant cover charges and inflated drink prices.
If approached by a Japanese tout, a simple "Daijōbu desu" usually makes them leave you alone.
Nigerian touts are often more persistent and specifically target foreigners.
