Worried about
Violence, Mayhem, and Unpleasantness when traveling abroad? There has been so much talk, most of it negative, about the dangers of traveling abroad lately, I thought I would pass along this information concerning Canadians traveling outside the country. This information is from the Toronto Star 05/11/07. ____________________________________________________________________________ "A total of 1,133 Canadian travellers reported to Canadian authorities they were assaulted on foreign soil between the years 2000 and 2006. Of those, Mexico leads the list with 173 reported assault cases. China was next with 105 and Cuba with 62. Thailand was fourth with 45 and the United States followed with 40. Rounding out the top 10 countries where Canadians are reported assaulted are the Dominican Republic and South Korea (each with 38 incidents), France (35), Guatemala (34) and Japan (33). Other sunny spots where assaults of Canadians have been reported include Jamaica with 18, the Bahamas with 16 and Barbados with 14." ________________________________________________________________________________________________
You can see that Brazil is not even mentioned! There is a proviso here, though. Just because Brazil is not in the top ten on this list, doesn't mean you don't have to take care when traveling in the country. You need to take the same precautions you would take as a tourist walking down 5th avenue in New York City. You don't wear flashy watches, jewelry or carry expensive cameras.
