Safe and Not-So-Safe Places to Visit

According to the Canadian government, here is a map roughly depicting the countries that are safe with ordinary precautions, the ones where extra precautions are needed, and the ones to be avoided.  In general, Europe is pretty safe (I'd skip going around St. Denis in Paris, some parts of London, the Red Light District of Amsterdam, and Travestre in Rome.)  And so is Australia and New Zealand.


 
If it's green: no worries.
 
If it's red, you're an idiot for going.

  1. In some of those red countries, there are wars or nothing in the way of police. And there's the bat-shit crazy leader of the PRNK.

  2. I'm surprised about Japan. I thought it would be green if not blue.

    I know some people that have gone on mission trips to the Sudan. They lived out in the bush with local villagers. No thank you not for me!

  3. Well the map is interactive. I clicked on Japan and found out the yellow warning is all about the nuclear power plant.

  7. Thanks for keeping me up to date on what my government is doing. Take note that Cuba is coloured green. Do you think the U.S.A. will ever open up relations with Cuba?
