What the U.S. State Department Thinks About Your Country

[Dixon Carter Lee]

The U.S. State Department issues warnings about which countries are too dangerous to travel to, and which countries just plain suck. This is an interesting link: Travel Warnings & Consular Info Sheets . Here the U.S. State Dept. has a report on every country in the world, detailing, pretty much, what's wrong with them. Just click on your nation.

By the way, stay away from Yemen.

Funny every country they listed held absolutly no interest for me anyway. They didn't need to warn me in the first place. I figured out on my own that places with tons of religious striff, poverty, and war wouldn't be a nice vacation spot.

Invalid syntax.

IRS will be visiting your unemployed ass pretty soon.

Yemen has pretty much been on the "stay away from" list for a long long time.

New Zealand comes off very well, but, God, the Crime section for Mexico goes on and on and on.

You needed a website to know that? lol

On the bright side my dream of an African saffari trip is looking up. If I stay off the trains and don't linger outside my hotel.

My brother's been to Yemen. Cruise Ships used to go there fairly frequently until just a little while ago. Lots of goats.

Americans in Canada can expect to have their car looted in Vancouver, fog on the 401 between Toronto and London and French speaking people in Quebec.

Good link DCL, thanx....

I didn't catch anything out of the ordinary about threats, I guess I don"t look at things the way the paranoid do.

Wait a minute. Your brother's a goat?

Then that would make you...

I fucking love Canada. I always think of Canada and Mexico as the brothers in the Prodigal Son story. Canada is the good, hard working brother, while Mexico drinks and whores, but still gets the fatted calf (read: NAFTA) in the end.

Thank God for Canada. We could have fucking Yemen to the north.

DCL, I am more worried about what the Department of Homeland Security thinks about my dinner menu. Is Meatloaf now banned if I use Italian seasonings?

Much more likely to die of boredom driving on the 401 between London and Windsor.

But if traffic warnings keep American drivers off of our roads, then it's all worth it. Or at least until they learn the concept of a fast lane, and merging traffic from on ramps.

Why on earth would cruise ships port in Yemen? It's all goats and farmers and women in babushkas yelling at farmers about their goats.

 

[Gaucho]

Ramlick?

Hey, now, there's a blast from the past.

Wonder what old Rammie's doing these days?

Since when were "babushkas" Yemenese?

Please arrange to have Aruba, Turks & Caicos and Martinique relocated to the Great Lakes and operated as Hedonism IV, V and VI under the Friendship Dome, as agreed, or we will henceforth be known as Yemen II.

Thank you.

It's just the Yiddish word for those scarves women wear over thier heads. The practice isn't unique to any country really, that's just the only word I know for them.

 

[lavender]

LOL

I know. It was just funny to see.

Finally a terrorist demand I can live with.
