Jump to the full entry & travel map Buneos Aires , ArgentinaI flew into Buenos Aires not really knowing what to expect from South America . I had been told to expect food poisoning and that I 'd probably get robbed at some point . I had booked a hostel before I flew out from London but unfortunately there was a mix up at the hostel and I ended up having to lug my pack around the unfamiliar streets and ended up staying at another hostel called Hostel Urbano .
According to the above context, answer the following question.
What may be the reason they were told to expect to get robbed ?


There is a high crime rate in the city of Buenos Aires .
