I TOTALLY agree with you. There are dangerous parts of every country. There are dangerous people who live in every country.

At what point, though, can one’s positive interactions with people begin to neutralize the second-hand, vague, stereotype-fueled warnings that smother a place? When can the reality we experience in a place start to discredit the warnings we’ve heard about that same place?

I don’t think I’m taking warnings lightly. If someone tells me, “I know 6 people who were robbed in this area of this certain city,” I will definitely assume that part of the city is dangerous.

The warnings I’m finding harder and harder to understand, however, are the ones that are solely based on peoples’ gut feelings, feelings that are often inspired by old newspaper headlines. These types of warnings aren’t fair to the people who live in countries with conflict-riddled pasts.

thank you for the comment!

Andrew

I enjoy reading your travel accounts. I do have to say that you are fortunate that you have not encountered any difficulties with undesirable people robbing you or worse. I do think that warnings of danger are not to be taken lightly. Just because nothing has happened to you isn’t a reason to say that dangers don’t loom. Every country, region or city has its dangerous parts. Some places are more dangerous than others. Our church takes mission trips to Guatemala and the last time they visited only men were able to go since they were going to a place that had more danger. This warning came from the locals sponsoring our church. Sure, you are meeting many nice people but, again, I shutter to think that you take people’s warnings of danger lightly. They warn you because they care about you.

Thanks for your blogs,
Mrs. M
