Well, u can decide to stay off the tourist-laden spots and try my beloved Philippines.
Sure, we have our own tourist magnets here but most of my beautiful country remains unexplored (thanks to our inept tourism officials and exaggerated travel advisories from the US).
If you are a history and culture buff, there are our 15th century Spanish-era landmarks and the unequalled splendor of the towering Banawe Rice terraces.
We have some of the worlds finest beaches (Dakak, Fort Ilocandia, Pagudpud, Boracay, Pearl Farms, El Nido, Club Noah, and hundreds more yet unnamed and undeveloped) and the tropical sunset is simply breathtaking.
Lost in Translation is no good here as 60 percent of my countrymen speak good English and the rest understand the language very well.
But don't take my word for it. check on-line or ask around for people who have really been here.

With bombs and bomb threats in Britain - it's no different here. The only sure way of avoiding things is to never see the light of day! But I'd rather take the risk and experience the world than live my life as a total hermit.

Everywhere has had the threats of bombing or bombs going off over the years but everyone still travels there as the media coverage has died down on it!!!
Don't be put off by traveling as its the greatest feeling ever and if you are going to be put off by the people who planted the bombs that means they have got what they have won!!!
I'm not scared I'm still going to Turkey in 20 days and counting!!! i cant wait!

Terrorism is everywhere. I live in Turkey but I was afraid to go into the town centre today. So... even if I was living in London, if there were bombings, I wouldn't get out of the house =P

If we stop going anywhere abroad, haven't the terrorists won??? We should carry on and still go wherever we want. We mustn't let the terrorists feel they have the power to stop us from travelling and enjoying everything the world has to offer

There are definately places that I might think twice about going to and admittedly there are places that are more prone to destruction and violence than others, but when I read things about how people are sitting in their living rooms or just driving down the road and are shot and killed by a bullet not intened for them I have to ask myself..Is anyplace really "safe"? and having said that I have to believe that when it is your time it is your time. I refuse to live my life in fear of what "might" happen.

Well, Turkey is a Muslim infested country, so I would adivsed against that a long time. I think most places are safe. You cant live your life based on terrorists. Otherwise you are letting them win. Afterall, there objective is to make us feel unsafe and change our lives for the worst. Think about it, How many tourists have been killed vs how many have travelled. Its in the millions to one. Just do what you wish, but avoid countries with a large Muslim influence.
