My twin sister just took a teaching position at the American University in Cairo Egypt - I said "aren't you worried about all the violence and conflict there?" She replied, "It is all hyped up by the media, we feel perfectly safe here, and don't even see anything unless we turn on the western news. Besides, you go to Mexico, that is really dangerous."
I told her "That is all just media hype, we go to Baja several times a year by ourselves and have never felt unsafe."
On the other hand, I was in Chicago a few months ago and went for a drive, I was so nervous, I wasn't willing to turn right or left off the main road to get turned around and head back. Los Angeles is way more dangerous than Baja.
Come give it a try:
