For instance, you shouldn't be visiting Colombia, Sierra Leone or Texas. One for rival terror organizations, one for civil war and the other because of the amount of ribs you'll be forced to eat.
Wink.
Book your trip now!
Secuestro Express was filmed in Caracas, Venezuela.
traveling to there places. I've been to Brazil, Colombia, Mexico City, and Slovakia - they are
all places worth going to during your lifetime. You seem so ignorant basing your decisions
off of movies. You sound like a typical American. Maybe you are just a xenophobe - but no
one who has done any real traveling would take this advice. Peel yourself from your
television, get a passport, go to the library and read a book, or take some action that would
educate you rather then taking lessons from movies. What credibility do you have? You
should see some foreign films sometimes...maybe you wouldn't want to even visit the
United States if you applied your shallow logic...and you would realize that it is not at all an
accurate judgement.

I live in South America (a big, big place full of many different countries) and have never
bumped into a rebel nor witnessed war atrocities (in fact there's no war here as far as I
know, but maybe I'm not well informed). Please indicate me where should I be looking to for
these amusements.
I had the opportunity to spend some time in Sierra Leone during my winter break, and while it is devastatingly poor, it is a relatively safe place to travel to. The worst that will happen is you will be overcharged if you look like an American/non-African. This is easily remedied by having a guide take you everywhere. ;)
Kazakhstan as depicted in Borat is actually Romania, a place you definitely do not want to visit regardless of its recent EU accession.
Place where people die from gunshots every day.
Place where students get killed on universities.
Place where racism and hatred are normal behavior.
I would never wanna go there.
You guessed, it's usa.
flame away.
And yes, Africa is a s*** hole. Almost all of it. No offense to the few normal...er...stable...well, the few nations that aren't outright anarchic sess pools, but the majority of Africa is a horrible, horrible hell. 85% of Africa is in some form of war, not just domestic violence (Not wife beatings, but gang wars and such). 9/10 Africans have some sort of communicable disease. It is a well known fact that any ships within 20 miles of the African coast are more then likely to be attacked by pirates (Not the lovable Johnny Depp kind either, the chop your head off in front of your wife and daughter and then rape the Mrs's kind).
Outside of the major cities in Mexico there is no Mexican government. It's a real hit or miss on that one.
Most former Soviet Bloc countries are dangerous, since the governments are not really in control and the people are wild and dangerous, at least outside of the capitals (Exemptions of course, being Ukraine, Poland, and the Baltic countries).
And South America is also a hit or miss area. Odds are nothing extreme will happen to you like in Turistas, but there is a lot of organized gang war going on down there, and outside of the capital and tourist cities there is no government presence, meaning no protection services for non-locals. Even in Guyana, a country basically controlled by France with a large contingent of French Foreign Legion troops, there is real danger. Bodies still float by FFL encampments on a regular basis...
So, really, what I'm trying to say is, VISIT BRITAIN TODAY!!! Culture, security, history, we got it all!
