Egypt tries to thwart Israel's plans in Europe

Yeah, I laughed at your post, too.

I couldn't help myself

It's quite alright. I felt the same.

I agree.

Actually Syria is the most stressful border for Jordan. I haven't heard of a Jordanian yet who doesn't love Syria and think it is beautiful. They are also all terrified of the government there... Occasionally someone goes for study and doesn't come back.

I can imagine that. I haven't learned much about Syria other than that actually.

I went to Syria twice and I didn't have any problems.

I went to Syria twice and I didn't have any problems.

My husband lived there for 4 years. Even he, who lived there for 4 years and has visited almost every weekend since except for the year before I met him and then after I met him) was afraid to go back for his police certificate. He eventually took the widely reccomended (to me... I asked around and asked Syrians I knew amongst others) wasta route. Just because you went, twice, doesn't mean it's a safe government. There are certain places you just do not want to be involved with.

I didn't say it was a safe goverment. I just said that I went twice last year and I had no problems. I was not harrassed or followed. It wasn't even hard for me to get residency while I was there. Of course I tried to not do anything suspicious or cause any problems. My stay there was enjoyable and I never felt afraid. As an American, you would think I would have more problems than someone from the middle east, but maybe as a woman they weren't worried about me. My husband was never bothered while he was there either and he stayed considerably longer than I did.

I never said it wasn't a safe country to be in I said it wasn't a safe country as a whole, as in the government and then went on to discuss the government. I mentioned the government from the beginning, but then you replied in general. Lots of coutries where the government is feared are very safe to hang out in. Everyone is on their best behavior for a reason. I actually think the opposite. As an American, you will likely have less problems than someone from the ME.

Such as Egypt, for example.

I see what you are saying. I noticed there wasn't much crime and they said it is because the punishment is so severe.

Yeah, that would be why

That's what deters me for sure. I never want to go to prison especially in another country.

I can't think of one country I would actually be scared to go to. Lots of them that I have no reason to want to go (Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, China, Korea, Vietnam). Yet I figured out if you just behave properly and don't break any laws, you can enjoy yourself anywhere. Not much scares me and I have friends like this as well. I had one friend who went to China by herself and noticed she had two guys following her everywhere. They were hired by the government to watch her (I guess this is standard procedure for many foreigners). Well, when she went to a restaurant she felt bad that they couldn't eat so she invited them to eat with her and she would pay. At first they said no, but then she finally convinced them. They all had a great time.

Other people are not comfortable traveling to certain places. That is perfectly understandable and probably wise. I think my guardian angel works overtime, lol.
