Nillions of Canadians and Americans go to Mexico every year and return home without any safety issues.

I might be interested in Spain caskur askur were it not for the lack of political stability in the region.

As you're well aware, Europe has been invaded many times throughout history.

Europeans are always looking over their shoulder for the presence of Russia.
They fear its comeback and the ramifications of their influence. Plus uncontrolled immigration and the threat of Islamic Extremism/Terrorism lurks there.

So...Spain might be a good place to visit, spend a few months of the year over there. But permanently, cutting ties with the home country? Don't think so.

Yes... always visit first... she complained it was hot so I guess she means summer.

My cousin went there and spent quite a long time and so did my brother David who ran with the bulls.

My brother spent a long time in Spain because he hurt his back somewhere and got laid up in Spain...

My cousin ate plenty of Spanish omelettes because they were cheap and my husband Kurt went to Spain as well.

3 Australians have been murdered in Mexico in the last year. As well as American tourists.

I have always wanted to go to Mexico. I like their art but these days there drug traffickers so Mexico I a no go area.

Yea, no fucking way I'd go there.

Nillions of Canadians and Americans go to Mexico every year and return home without any safety issues.

No consolation for these people.

Then there's been the encroachment of cartels into tourist areas. I mean if your fukin head has to be on a swivel and getting robbed is always in the back of your mind as the LEAST of your worries, is it a vacation?

Zagreb is safer than Vancouver or Toronto.

Too many drugs in Vancouver.

Canadian cities have gone to the dogs.

It's generally safe if you make friends with local families and don't do stupid shit. The friends will warn you when you're about to do dumb shit and what could happen.

Vancouver has become such a joke Shen Li

It's now just one big construction pit where high priced condos shoot up like weeds.

It's becoming a really ugly city.

Kenny Sim seems like a Yes Man Developer disguised as our Mayor.

Rubber stamps everything the developers want.

Besides the drugs and social decay, Vancouver has become a mess.

I don't know why anyone would vote for a guy who's made our city into a permanent construction zone. The whole city has become an eyesore.

Every major city in Canada has the same problems. Mass homelessness, open use of hard drugs, rising crime rates, but city councils think more bike lanes are the cure for everything. Canada has become a joke.

Plus they build so much under the pretence that they are combating homelessness, but the problem keeps getting worse, RE is at record unaffordability & rents are shooting through the roof. Pushing $3,000 per month in Vancouver for 1 BR.

I hears that Singapore has mostly got the housing problem licked and homelessness is minimal.

Is that correct Shen Li?
