What surprised me was St Kitts & Nevis. We went there last year and I'd have never known.

A lot of the Caribbean islands get very sketchy very quickly if you wander away from the 'touristy' areas.

Re providing personal info to the referenced site.

I've had an FP account for some time. There is no verification of your email or other info provided.

Ditto on the Carribean islands sketchiness. There are several we just don't go near anymore, particularly those off the beaten path that are ideal for rapid loading and unloading of 'stuff'.

I have gone to most islands and have hired cabs for a cruising ride through the islands - some areas are scary, but not as scary as Detroit or Chicago

As does EVERY semi large to large US city - walk a block off the strip of casinos in Atlantic City or Vegas.......stray too far in NOLA, St. Louis, Chicago, NYC, DC and on and on..........

Does anyone really believe the numbers from China? And how about the British Colony of Bermuda being 10.8.
