Been watching this thred for some time now. In 2006 the 1/8th worlds were held in Indonisia, I didn't get the chance to go, but I know many who did...and they all came back alive, the most dangerous thing they came across was some of the catering
. the fastest time of the day was the sprint to the loos
. Indonisia is regarded by many who travel as a country that you need to watch your back in if you are going to head off the beaten track. if I remember rightly the track was in a garded compound, but they all had a good time.
In 1991 the 10th worlds were held in detroit,a place that could get a little rough after dark yet, all came back ( even Kevin Moore didn't get shot
) . Not that long ago you could get well out of your depth if you took a wrong turn in florida with a hire car , with alimo on the plates, cost some turists there life!
The thing is , no matter what country you are in, if you are in the wrong place ,at the wrong time you can get into deep water.If you don't flash your money around, don't get pissed up and mouth off but respect the locals and keep a low profile I fully suspect you will have a great time
.
Think of it like this, if the worlds were in belfast you would all go, but those from other parts of the world would prob think ...BELFAST ...S**T NO WAY, we have seen films about that place, we won't make it off the plane
