As you can see from post 58, Holland, Sweden, France, Germany, Spain, and even Switzerland have higher %s of Muslims.

Have to agree. Wandering around in the dark in Oxford trying to find a Brit who could speak American, I wasn’t worried about my safety - just about finding my hostel near the train station!

(Started out on directions from Brit to the train station - almost ended up trying to walk to London. Gave up and took a cab...)

On the other hand, I nearly go mugged wandering around in New Orleans - in broad daylight!

"directions"

One of the differences between Brits and Americans is that if you ask for walking directions, the Americans will tell you how far something is, and the Brits will tell you how long it takes...."fifteen minutes that way mate."

I don’t remember the exact words any more but some English directions don’t translate exactly into American... I was headed for the motorway before I gave up an entered the first building with public access. Had a pay phone and I had a phone card...
