  1. I haven't watched full video yet. But I guess It depends on your definition of safe. I read in several articles that statistically the leading cause of death now in the USA for youth is by gun shot. Staggering. I would be terrified to send children to school over there to be honest. We've never had a school shooting in Australia. And we don't have active shooter drills, only fire drills. And I was watching a video recently by Kaitlyn and Ashleigh Fay who moved to Australia about 6 months ago. They both said as women they feel safer in Australia. Not that bad things can't and don't happen here. They just mean overall. They mentioned Uber and taxi drivers. That they usually feel uneasy and unsafe in America. That over there you wouldn't make conversation with them because then they will think you are interested. And that you never sit in the front. That the drivers are often creepy. Where as over here when drivers make casual chit chat they said they feel fine with it and it's not a creepy or uneasy feeling. They also mentioned that they would dress down, no make up etc, if going out walking on your own even at daytime because if you look too nice or too revealing you could be attacked. I think no matter where you live it's always good to be aware of your surroundings especially when walking alone. But I think I am lucky to live in a country where I have never felt regularly uneasy. Edited to say - I don't think America is the most dangerous place in the world or that you wouldn't be safe travelling there. You probably would🙂. My comments are more about "feeling" safe.
