Been robbed at gunpoint in San Francisco.

Guess where this will never happen? Hong Kong where I live now but where people are now afraid to visit because they think it's Syria.

Or maybe they don't want to support Chinese oppression.

I've been to HK, it's ok to visit, living there though is a different matter entirely, sure I may not get robbed at gunpoint but between China and air pollution I will find somewhere else thanks.

I visited a sketchy part of Parramatta for work and it really wasn’t that bad. I walked around in the streets every night for a month to get dinner. But I can understand how it could easily be assumed (in my opinion) the most likely place in Australia to get robbed.

Australia is a really safe place by comparison to nearly anywhere else.
