Neh, Johannesburg isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be. Sure crime is a problem, but I don't think you'll get mugged or killed by walking down the stairs. The weather is great here as well.

Oh and L2S, don't forget to take a turn by JKLMNOP.

it was the african johannesburg?
me and my darn editing!

"sure crime is a problem" hello, SA stands on #1 on the worlds crimerate-lists
along w thailand and colombia, im telling you, im staying faaaaaaaaaar away

i dunno tho, it cant possibly ALL be bad, but what ive seen was BAAAAAAAD

^
Don't worry SA is not as bad as people make out to be. Documentaries can be misleading sometimes. I knew our crime rate was high, but no1 in the world? Guess I haven't been paying much attention to the news. Besides you don't only have to visit joburg, you can visit cape town and durban and so many other places.

according to most gun-related crime + homicide ratings, south africa ends up sharing a #1 spot w thailand and colombia, yes, #1
but right behind comes all the rest of africa, the rest of south america, the rest of south asia, and all of eastern europe.
russia and those european ex-soviet states have VERY bad crime, especially russia.
"the list" is sortof predictable that way

but yes, its a huge country, and i bet the worst crime happens in the big-city slums, and maybe poor suburbs also near cities. it cant possibly happen everywhere, or the country would grind to a halt

also, what such lists fail to illustrate is that even in #1-worst crime country, the actual number of murders per capita is very tiny. murders arent "supposed" to happen, and that clearly applies "even to" south africa, colombia and thailand
oslo was, during the 90's, the worst crime-ridden city of europe, in a per-capita measurement, and oslo was very safe, even back then.

No I won't deny crime is pretty intolerable. But despite it SA is a beautiful country and still I would not leave. It's just such a pity about the crime.

Maybe I should put the GP before ZA. GP - Gauteng Province. Or otherwise known as Gangsters Paradise.

hey I know there is more of you who wanna meet me.

Sure, I'd meet with you L2S. Your about my age.

So what do you think of Michigan? (I know there has to be some stereotype floating around in your head)

My coworkers brother lives in Michigan. It sounds fine.

I'd love to meet you, but I'm also a f*ckton shy... so I dunno.

Knoxville, Tennessee here.

You seem cool, but I live the other side of the pond, and tbh I'm not much of a conversationalist tbh

No problem, I appreciate the post Ryan. You seem cool too buddy.

i'd like to meet you, i'm in the UK tho maybe one day?
People on WP are generally very unique & i'd quite like to meet everyone here.
(yea that looks better)

I have way too much social anxiety. I'd have a panic attack that doesn't make a very good first impression.

Like I said, if you're ever in Massachusetts, hit me up, I know of some nice bars where it doesn't get too crowded.
