We are pretty lucky we live in australia, everyone pretty much has something nice to eat, most things we consider necessities are luxurious in many other countries... many of the capital cities in australia are rated amongst the most liveable in the world. we live well but we gotta concede we are pretty soft.. especially compared to many other cities in the world..
what tough cities have you visited? Any encounters you were lucky to survive? Makes you appreciate where we live, we have to be in the best country in the world (or close to the best) welfare for everyone, hospitals for everyone, little or no corruption, low threat of violence.. i went over to thailand a few years back..ventured to the outskirts of bangkok.. warned not to go there by the locals but couldnt resist. About 20 mins scooter out of bangkok. Oh my.. i was scared for my life out in the day let alone night. Utes driving around with cages on them and people crammed up in the back of em. Followed until i got back to bangkok. Cars with mirror tint windows right up behind me. Old guys on side of road giving me dirty looks and staring at me with piercing stares. Im told that if someone hits me that i would disappear permanently as insurance is too expensive. And Im told this area wouldnt be anywhere near the most dangerous... Where have you been? what have you seen? |
