Oh, when you travel you must think about your health insurance and life insurance

This is true, but we shouldn't focus on these morbid details so much. If we only think about these things, it creates the belief that all foreign countries are dangerous/unhealthy/chaotic, which only feeds ethnocentrism and isolationism. And trust me, Americans already have more than enough of those.

I totally agree with Lucentshade.
By the way, can you speak Spanish? I'm asking because of the phrase that appears below your messages... "caminante no hay camino..."
But the phrase as I know it, is... "caminante no hay camino, se hace camino al andar", from an Spanish writer.
I'm from Uruguay (South America)... have you ever heard of it?

To LucentShade:

But what about what others think about America? Many of them think that all Americans are idiots or murderers. If you look at other countries, you'll quickly find out that most people have this nationalistic pride of their countries, they think that they are better than all others. I've never seen a country that welcomes immigration. Immigrants are always treated badly, people look at them and say to themselves "those idiots, come here with their funny accents and weird looks, only steal our government's money..." Oh, I'm not justifying that, not at all. But the notion that "all Americans are narrow-minded idiots and all other countries are better" isn't accurate.

THE ACCIDENT

The accident it is reason for make to get hour and dead which it can happen every time but it can protect by not to by care less such as it you driving a car you must put a safety belt or put the safety hale met.
In my feeling, the accident, we can safety by we, If we take a care, When you work thing. You must care your safe safety first always. If the Thailand can reduce the accident, Which it take the country to grow of economy.
When you walking around the side walk you should care the hole, which you may be get the accident. You should go to cross a bride, or sometime you want to cross the way and this area have not a bride you should look left and right.
If you want to use the car you should check the car every system always for driving you should not to drink you must not the children sitting front a car a driver should the limit of speed, If you feel sleepy you should stop a car always.
The accident can happen every time but we can protect by we don�t to be careless.
