I'd say in South Africa there are a lot more places that "tourists" shouldn't go than most places in the world, actually. And as I said the country I live in has no such issues even in the poorest regions.
For me it's all about culture. Since I have enough Bitcoin to live anywhere in the world, I am looking for a place where people get a long the best, treat each other with respect, and humble and polite, open hearted and friendly.
