Why would any ever go to

the middle east?! It is dangerous you know with all those terrorists and bombs.
These words were said by a person born and raised in Namibia. No doubt that danger is relative and like so many other things here in life measured in the eyes of the beholder. But since Namibia itself is not the safest place in the world, I must admit that I was a bit surprised to hear the above statement from a Namibian person. One would think that a person who has grown up here would have a more relaxed attitude to danger than a Dane apparently not.
