Works out?
Yes, it is a beautiful country, thanks. I've only been here 25 years myself, had to get away from the 'cradle to grave' mentality that was crumbling to pieces around me following my discharge from the Navy into civvy street.
Hopefully you had a pleasant visit and experienced no 'events' other than the ones you read about in the paper or on TV. Fact is violent crime here has become so perrenial thats become mundane except for the really gruesome stuff the tabloids love to cover.
Being hands-on involved in Community Crime-prevention means I probably know more about whats going on than most would like to but thats their choice I guess, ignorance only being bliss to some.
The trick of course is to focus on the positive if possible, although trying to explain to a weeping eighty-year-old why the burglars has to pour scalding water on his wifes face to get him or her to give them the safe keys is not a regular occurence, it certainly gives one clarity in who and what exactly we're dealing with here, basically, demented savages.
