Yet more attacks.. France and Tunisia. Tunisia situation sounds absolutely horrific!
Must admit, places like Tunisia/Egypt, and even Turkey I would not be holidaying in!

It's mad. And Tunisia used to be such a popular holiday destination.
Mind you, so did Yugoslavia.

Agree, why the hell would you go there? Anywhere in Africa or Asia in fact. Sure, the risk is everywhere but why increase it upon yourself by going there?
Sorry but I have no sympathy for people putting themselves in such danger

You do know that Africa is pretty big yeah?
Also, I'd have no qualms about going to Sharm again. Went to south Africa in January and saw no terrorists. Or ebola

You could not pay me enough to get me to go back to Tunisia, it was a dirty hole, I've never been so I'll in my life and I've never met such hostile, ignorant people as I did there. I know this is a terrorist attack but it felt like tourism was a hinderence that the locals didn't want around to me.

As said Africa and Asia are pretty big places, you have to be more specific, ive lived in Asia for many years, and my family still do always been safe, i also have close friends who live in Africa and i was recently there for a wedding, was a lovely place.

Been Egypt and Turkey recently. Both have massive amounts of army/security around tourist places as thats their main income.
Not sure about Tunisia, but I can't say i've ever wanted to holiday there. Mind you, I said that about Turkey and Bulgaria

Egypt was a fucking shit hole. In as anyone's interested in the Nile, it stinks of piss.
Sharm is nice. But it's a bit limited

Sharm is in Egypt 
That's like saying Englands a shithole. Cumbria is nice. Makes no sense.

Let's be honest everywhere has good and bad places
One thing I notice is every Islamic/Muslim country are mainly the most dirty of places that exist. They preach about not drinking and wearing no shoes etc in sacred places, yet they treat the places that shit holes and rubbish tips
I have pics from our holiday recently which so this
they are faiths of massive contradiction but most religions are as religion has little place for a 21st century world. It existed to control people hundreds of years ago. Our world has changed so much but religion hasn't hence witness such idiotic acts

Shark is a remote resort town in the middle of a desert away from the real Egypt.
Probably for a very good reason

My parents are in Turkey at the moment. Oludeniz. They said it's lovely. Only negative is the constant prayers from the mosques blaring out all day, which is understandable at it's Ramadan.
Their country, their religion, we need to respect that.

Lived aswell, which is nice
Never understood terrorists who want to kill people yet don't shoot them in the head. I guess hitting the head is a lot harder than a body shot if you're one of these Baghdad bellends?

Yeah the prayer thing doesn't bother me in the slightest. I know what the Mrs is gonna be like, going to need constant reassurance no doubt!
