hhhmmm, by my rough estimates, you are about tied with InfantryYJ on distance from home, posting to NC4x4. Looks like about the same distance to Krasnador as it is to Okinawa, just the opposite way.
I have travelled all over as well and what i like to do is keep a dummy wallet, put some paper in it and maybe some of those mock credit cards you get in the mail (muggers never check the merch immediately after stealing it). Really i havent run into any trouble in all 5 continents i have been in. As for the guy who went to Guiney, man that sounds intense dude, if someone came running at me with a butcher knife, i would have just given him my pants with my wallet and a large ha ha..
I want to go to Brazil but everyone there knows some kinda martial art and they are crazy, they dont even ride in the trains, they surf em on top!
Well i see you made it there safe, lets see ya come back in one peice! Cheers!
PS - watch out for the Natzi's, trust me there are still skinhead freaks that get a good giggle outta kicking the living hell outta tourists.
