How seriously are you taking the latest worldwide travel alert?

My answer. I live abroad in a Muslim majority country and will be #3ing.

1. Doesn't bother me. I have more chance of getting in a wreck on my way to the market.

2. Developed country or developing?

You don't have to answer if you don;t want to, I only ask because I can relate.

8. Kangaroo land or just Roos.

3. I keep thinking that on 9/11, there were over 5,000 flights that DIDN'T get hijacked.

I traveled by plane during the 1991 Gulf War (it broke out while I was in Japan with a group of students) and a couple of months after 9/11.

In both cases, the planes were blissfully uncrowded and relaxing.

I decided that a terrorism scare was a great time to travel by plane because all the scaredy cats stay at home.

4. if i had money to travel i would do it regardless, but if i was working in some US Govt

position or even somewhere else that is known to be american in a place where terrorist attacks are not that uncommon i might be more careful/worried.

so do you live overseas or are you visiting ?

9. I've been living overseas for several years

But I'm technically a long term visitor, I guess. I do intend to move back home within the next couple of years or so.

We went out and did the usual things we do on a saturday; beach, a bit of shopping and eating out. I was having so much fun I actually totally forgot all about the warnings, lol.

5. Not worried at all

I'm more likely to be attacked by a rabid sheep. I'm 150 miles away from anyplace that's likely to be the target of terrorist attacks (that'd be London), and a thousand miles away from anyplace likely to harbour a significant Al Qaeda presence.

6. It's another day in Afghanistan...

7. My passport gives me immunity from being a target of any nasty stuff...

Everyone knows that everyone, even terrorists likes us, though I will be extra vigilant and on the lookout for terrorism when I'm in New Zealand!

10. Traveling in Latin America, so meh. nt
