They all will tell you to avoid Guatemala City, as it is dangerous and thick with black diesel fume. But, as some people, curious when forbidden, I went to check out the scene. Definitely, it is more worthwhile and safe if you know some people, and know not to do basic things like have your wallet hanging out of your pocket, or try to read a giant map at the street corner. And yes, it is safer for a single dude rather than a single lady. I recommend using "couchsurfing" as a way to get to know some folks and maybe have them show you the city. There are lots of surfing hosts here.
One of three things I intended to see and share with you is the grafitti art. The next post is another thing, a yearly parade which mocks the politicians of Guatemala, run by university students. The third is music, and didn't document it, but I saw some pretty great METAL.
Here's some of the graffiti art--

Pretty cool, eh?
Appreciate abstract art - it is there to awaken your creativity! Long live FREE ART!
