jgmarble5050 I travel alone quite often. It isn't scary if you give yourself some guidelines to follow. Don't go out drinking late at night and always be aware of your surrondings. It can be great fun and you can experience lots of new countries. Good luck.

Thank you, Mr. President

jgmarble5050 If a conservative teacher pulled a stunt like this the main stream media would be all over it and the teacher would more than likely be fired. The standards in the USA are so one-sided it is amazing. Thanks for posting this as I had not heard or read it yet.
