Try not to die for your country or beliefs. Make the other guy die for theirs.

Is that what you have classified me as?

Assume less.

You are too paranoid. I have been traveling internationally for the past 3 years and have never experienced any danger. Most of the time I travel alone.

Now that you explain it I understand and actually agree in some situations like your taxi example.

However, once I’m out doing tourist things I want to meet locals and other travelers and share stories, tips, or local lore. Meeting people in this way has allowed me to discover new places that or perspectives that I would never experience otherwise.

To each their own I suppose.

Does this require you not finding that unsolicited conversation is borderline assault? Because I’m afraid I can’t do that.

Are you serious?

Thailand and Vietnam have such kind and welcoming people. I am constantly impressed by the gestures I see.

Just today me and my girlfriend were standing on the side of the road in Thailand waiting to cross. There was no crosswalk nearby but cars saw that we wanted to cross and stopped both lanes for us go. We did not signal in any way or step into the street. They just saw people in need of something that they could help with. Nobody behind them honked or became impatient.

There are so many more examples…

The most recent reddit exodus brought a lot of shitty people. The vibe here changed overnight.
