Terrified to go to Europe?!?! Help please!?!?

Well you can't judge Europe by movies. Should we judge the US by "Deliverance," "Slingblade" or "In Cold Blood"? Europe is a lot safer than the US especially when you compare major cities. You won't see any war zone neighborhoods anywhere in Western Europe like you see in Chicago. You definitely don't need to worry about being "d/beaten/torn bit by bit"! Well, unless you respond to ads from cannibals seeking volunteers like that one fellow did a few years ago (lol). The only crime you really need to worry about is pick-pockets in some of the busier urban places. Just relax and have fun.
