    I don’t think it makes sense to go anywhere completely whimsically. Times change and caution is prudent. Nobody is taking the silk road through Afghanistan any more but it was once a popular route, for example. However, I believe in the goodness of people. Most people just wanna be happy, kindness and respect goes a long way.

      True, most people are willing to live and let live, but a lot of places have people where you won’t know what you’re dealing with until its too late. And I’m not even talking about the middle east specifically.
