[quote=GRIZ326,37129]China alone at 24 is pretty ambitious. Can you take care of yourself in a dangerous American city? Have you traveled the States? Have you traveled aboard alone before? What I am really asking you to assess are your instincts. Are you naive? Do you have frequent "blonde moments?" Partying in bars is risky business. You must keep your wits about you. The ability to see danger before it strikes is very important. Traveling as an American outside of the United States today is more dangerous than at any time in my traveler's memory. When I first visited China in 1978 the only crime mentioned in the pre-shore leave briefing was RAPE. The ship was on a diplomatic mission and so even the seamen got the high-end low-down; there were 7 women on board. There is much more crime in China today than there was then. There is far less crime in China than in the safest American communities. ...but as a traveling foreigner, you are expected to be carrying money, trinkets, gadgets and general good stuff - so you are a target - don't forget that for a moment. Take responsibility for your own safety and you will have a safe and successful trip.[/quote]
