Well you're the guy living in the nation with man eating spiders and drug cartells! I wouldn't be surprised if it's sometimes one and the same ... man eating spiders runing drug cartells

Man eating spiders? Also the cartels moved to Mexico. They stole our illegal jerbs.
Yeah, Colombia's been pretty low key in the drug-infany scene the past decades, what's up with that? Mexico's hogging all the epic shoot outs, bombings, massacres
If you finally get your militias in check, you'll be like a totally ordinary country. Like... Chile. How dull!
Is there some insect in South America that is not either drilling into your body, sucking your blood or trying something else to tell you, that humans don't belong in the jungle?
I never heard of a bug in Germany that moves in your penis to lay some eggs in your body or something like that.
People here, sometimes complain how dull Germany is ... how ... dull ... it is. The weather. The people. Everything. Fuck, what do they want? Tornadoes? Freezing/Heat? A civil war now and then? Maybe with some weird corrupt government mixed in that is fighting corrupt militias at every corner?

There are also fishes that go into your penis.
Another one of these hysterical little ideas of God and his "intelligent design" "Hmmm, we definitely need a couple more penis-crawlers!"
But yeah, it's one of the things I love about a frigid place like Norway, we got 3 species of reptile, 1 of them is vaguely venomous, we have our share of insects which - at the very worst - will give you a bit of a swollen hurt. Our biggest spiders are still no bigger than a cm. I will be all "aww, lil buddyyyyy!" and trap it in a cup and let it out of the house

Australia isn't as dangerous as some people think. The cities are quite safe, though of course one has to use their common sense about things.

I love how you put that, basically - stay where there is people, streets, lights - and you'll be perfectly safe!
To be fair, Norway isn't too far from that either, well, in winter, in summer we're a big walk in the park, but winter really ends a lot of tourists. Some years ago there was a news report about the underreporting of dead tourists, because such reporting would hurt our allready fragile tourism industry (super expensive to visit, little to see)
What we get a lot of (apart from the mandatory Japanese businessman w cameras) are Germans and Dutch people who come to seek their "ancient barbarianism" or something, stand on mountain tops, wind in their hair, arms stretched out, "YAAAAAGH!"
instead they end up calling for help, with only faint echoes responding, as they inevitably get lost in some blizzard
Like most places like these, Norwegians don't go into the mountains. We stay in the cities, where it's warm and safe!

Well even the outback isn't that bad, as long as you stay in the agricultural area. The jungles aren't as dangerous as the Amazons, but you can get lost. If you really want to go up close to nature, stay in the city and go to a botanical garden.
I tell foreigners very similar things, like, sure, you can visit some nice mountanous wilderness, just stay close to the road, and drive an hour or so from the city.
"No, no, I want REAL wilderness", yeah sure, you can always gamble with getting lost, but trust me, even 30 minutes from the city is wild enough. Following even established forest walking paths is wild enough, there's moose and stuff there, you can fish and pick berries, what more do you want
Except ... if you're unlucky. Of course. Ahhh. he will be fine! Fine I say! But I am glad that I can visit public toilets in Germany, without checking the toilet seat every 10 sec. I mean I still check it at least once before I sit down - even at home. But you get the point.

Well most of Colombia isn't Jungle but if you want to get drilled I am sure you can find a place to satisfy your needsIs there some insect in South America that is not either drilling into your body, sucking your blood or trying something else to tell you, that humans don't belong in the jungle?

Well we still got a massive amount of corruption so we can at least hold onto that.

The best place to get drilled is Thailand. Everyone knows that.

Don't mean to go all serious on that joke Crni but, Thailand...what a messed up place. The people are nice, I have one who came over here as co-worker right now. Actually two of them, nice folks. But all the prostitution stuff, child prostitution, human trafficking, etc. going on in that country is just messed up. If I had to choose between going to Thailand or Vietnam where AFAIK there is a lot less human trafficking etc. I'd go to Vietnam. Haven't yet travelled in that region.
I think Vietnam probably suffers from a bit of a reputation, the war, the communism, just... the image of it. But yeah, put it side by side with Thailand, as a destination, and it probably have much less vices. Going to Thailand nowadays, you almost have to explain yourself
Going to Vietnam, I guess you're being adventurous!As a pothead, both those paces terrify me though. I would never do something as stupid as buy weed or anything there, but just the notion of being locked up for years - or life - or even shot... man, what a way to end your trip

At least it ain't the Phillipines...
Or Indonesia. Man the brutality-level in some of those places is astounding. Did you read about the convoy of politicians+press that were stopped and massacred in southern Philippines? Another type of incident where you can see the full extent of human creativity during cruelty, I mean, wow... just wow...
Then you got the documentary "The act of killing", about the former dictatorship in Indonesia, where old veterans still show up on talk shows, recieve applauds, while they describe how they went around just mowing people down. There's a scene in the documentary where they re-create an assault on a village, burning it to the ground, and the scene is... special... so special, I am uncomfortably certain that the villagers there did not agree to have their village burned down for the purpose of filming. It's REALLY bizarre...

Actually you don't even need to buy or use weed there, they can just plant that stuff on you and tip the cops. And after the cops have hauled your ass to a medieval dungeon somewhere for a decade the planters can steal your stuff or blackmail you or something. Yea, it's a pretty third world place and I would be pretty careful around that area. I had a friend who went to Russian and was basically blackmailed out of 500 euros by a shady guy giving out 'licences to leave the country' or something.
Norway might be expensive but I don't think you'll be trying to steal my kidney or something like that.
The Danes bring their own food!
Actually, in the military, some cliques of pals went to Rovaniemi, I never had the pleasure, Idunno why, relaxed back at the base - but that town had quite a reputation! Or maybe our troops had the reputation over there, either way, we were warned to behave exceptionally well, because people there - even cops - would be almost fishing for an oportunity to kick Norwegian troops' asses
Then, I guess it's a northern arctic thing, because north-norwegian towns tend to have similar reputations. They get drunk, it's dark most of the year, they get their saami-machetes out, and all hell breaks loose
