No way. Now I don't mind if it is in the 40s, I could deal with that, and most of our winters before 2008 were between the 30s and 40s, but we would sometimes get like 1 to 2 weeks between November and March that would fall into the 20s and lower teens. I remember one winter where you didn't even need boots because we really didn't get any snow. Anyway the sun makes my day. I love when the sun is shining whether it's cold or hot weather. I feel many people are more in a positive mood when the sun is shining, rather than cloudy, dreary winter days.

Then again we need the colder temperatures to get rid of some of the germs, so I guess I could appreciate the cold weather for that reason alone.

You couldn't pay me to go to Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan or Pakistan. I'm not too keen on Israel either. I told that to someone Jewish, and I think she was offended. I didn't mean to be offensive, but the unrest over there would unsettle me. Some African countries would be out, too. Plus, I'm not too keen on the food...

I definitely wouldn't want to visit any Asian country. Don't ask why, I don't know myself. I just know that Asia scares me. A lot.

Being from Panama I've only heard of such things in the jungle and have never known anyone who's ever caught anything. Panama City is very cosmopolitan and the whole country is very known for ecotourism. But keep ya ass out the jungle, in ANY country, if you don't wanna catch some shit.

lol.

Anywhere I don't feel welcomed, I guess.

I would visit anywhere.

that's so silly

I haven't seen a living snake since I was a kid, though I have seen a dead one back in 2003 flat on the road.

I have seen a redback spider in the weeds along our fenceline once, but we usually whippersnip all that back all the time, so no fear.

no other danger that I can think of, apart from drunken aussies who have it in for people from India

I don't wanna go to Mexico no more, more, more....

12 yeas ago when we first moved into our home Wires removed 3 red belly black snakes from the back yard, so every thing i've come across since then seems mundane. i can handle anything but snakes!

+ I'd be reluctant to visit Asia and the Middle East (especially with the way I dress!)

Im scared what will happen to a brutha out there...

Jamaica

I have not heard great things about the culture, but some of the scenery is nice.

Every place has something that appeals to me, but many have huge drawbacks, like, say long plane rides to get there.

India & China--crowds
certain parts of Mexico--pollution & crime
Iraq & Afganistan--war, though I would actually love to go there

and food would be an issue for me in lots of places

NDRU said:

don't go to Argentina, there is no such thing as a vegetarian option there, just blank incredulous stares

TonyVanDam said:

EVERY country in middle east? I have been to Jordan, Syria and Lebenon, and they were great. The people in Syria were amazingly open and friendly.

I'd avoid Iraq for sure, although I am planning to goto Iran later this year. I want to see things first hand for myself.

Nearly all of Africa, as its corrupt, poorly and run by bad governments, along with the rampant homophobia. The only exceptions would be South Africa and Botswana/Namibia as they are relatively stable.
Any part of Latin America except Chile, Argentina, Uruguay and then again for the same reasons, along with the fact anyone could plant something in my bag and could get into some 3rd world jail for drug muling.
The Carribean due to its homophobia especially Jamaica and any other churchy society.
Iraq and Iran for safety reasons, rest of Middle East especially Israel I would love to visit.
Most of Asia except Japan and Korea, China because of its communism and poor human and animal rights
Any country which has poor hygiene like Tibet and India
Any Francophone country that is poor like Burkina Faso and Burundi
USA as its too hard to get in to now.


All that leaves is the 1st world and a few African and South American countries along with the English speaking Pacific, Australia and Home.

I would really love to visit Canada, All of Scandinavia and Russia

I guess you don't like the cold very much. However I wouldn't mind visiting the North and South Poles just because people hardly ever get a chance to see it (Wouldn't want to live there, just visit)

never mind

It's still not safe in those countries, there have been attacks in those countries and more than likely more attacks in the future.

Wow, it's a trip how so many of you are stating stereotypes and generalizations about ENTIRE countries and their people as if they're fact, when you've never been there. Too funny.
