What is a "dangerous" travel destination?

Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

Brenda, curious statements about Colombia. Do you not denty it still has one of the highest levels of recorded murder in the world? Does your slightly over-optimistic-sounding experience mean it' is as safe as anywhere? Does your 'opinion' really count?

The dark reason for Medellin becoming so much safer is because right wing death squads have been legalised and have cleaned up the city, freeing it from the jobless thugs who were responsibnle for most of the anarchy.

Good Times in Medellin said...

ParentalGuidance,

You obviously have NO IDEA about what is happening in Medellin, Colombia.

Here is something to read to help you better understand some of the reasons as to how Medellin has made such a remarkable turnaround in such a short time. I am from Chicago were the schools are not safe for children to attend, we have the highest murder rate in schools here in the USA.

I have made multiple trips to Medellin and have spent many nights in some of the poorest neighborhood in the shanty towns built high up in the mountains.
