    You ever been to London? I hear about stabbings a violence occasionally, sometimes places I’m very close to. But they’re always gang related, if you’re not in a gang, you’re probably safe.

    I feel like Mexico is kinda similar with an added bonus of don’t walk around with expensive stuff or look like an easy target.

    Does that sound right?

      There are whole areas of London that are “No go” areas if you’re not a a Pearly King or Queen. If you’re lucky and have a bucket of jellied eels or some Chas N Dave LPs on you, you may escape with your life.

      Mostly right, yes. Stay away from drugs, certain areas, don’t flaunt your money, and you’ll be fine. Lived there for 20 years and I’ve seen some crazy shit but generally, if you behave normally, you’ll be fine.

      Honestly, I’ve generally and consistently felt more unsafe in the US than in Mexico.
