I remember your reddit thread, nearly everyone was convinced you'd be murdered and robbed by the end of the first day. Seems like you're doing alright so far, but have you run into any substantial trouble along those lines?
Friendly people everywhere I've been - in fact much more so than I was expecting.
Just today I was talking to a guy who agrees he feels much safer and more welcome here than he would if he showed up in a random city in the USA or Europe.
Right. This always surprises me. Americans are especially guilty of this feeling that the rest of the world is a dangerous, lawless hellhole. When in fact, 99.9995% of the world's population is just trying to get by with the least amount of trouble possible. Also, thanks for sharing your comments. They are inspiring and cool.
