      In the end the number of countries that are corrupt or dangerous aren't that high. Don't believe the scaremongery of the US authorities, use your own brains and info from the internet and just go to places. It is so valuable and fun to make friends in other cultures.

      @@renevanleeuwen1813 I completely agree with you on not trusting a lot of the mass information that's readily available. But, just wanted to illustrate that a lot of Americans do have that intelligence to do what you're explaining. I only say this so others aren't afraid to visit the US thinking they won't be so welcome because there's a lot of welcoming, intelligent people here as well. I wouldn't even trust information off the internet, I'll just go and see for myself and be a friend to anyone who needs one. I'd also like to add that the majority of countries are indeed corrupt. Less than that are dangerous but still many countries are nonetheless corrupt. It is not only the US that acknowledges this but it is a global understanding that corruption is a serious problem in over half of the countries(if not quite a bit more) in the world. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with me :)

    • @renevanleeuwen1813
      @renevanleeuwen1813 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Agreed on the number of countries where corruption occurs. But only the very blatant cases should stop you from visiting, eg. where police stops you at gun point for a little 'contribution'. Cases where eg. companies are funding election funds and are expecting a little 'leaniency' in return don't really concern a visitor.

      I don't live in the us, so I don't really know what they say about it, but being on the internet you obviously get exposed to it, but I remember watching a (German) guy walk through Iran and it made me fall in love with the country, the food, the architecture and the people. But then you hear about the us saying it's a terrible place, a bad place etc and I think that's really sad. I don't follow Iran politically, so I don't know that much about how they work, but I really do think it's a beautiful country, like a lot of its neighbors and close by countries.
      I hope some of the conflicts in those countries end, so the world can see how cool of a place it actually is.
