Hi,
Myself and four fellow asain friends ( ages 18-24) have been planning a holiday to Rome on 30th July, and was booked several months ago.

Due to the recent bombings, everyone seems to be on 'terrorist alert' and I have noticed people giving me an awkward eye when carrying my belongings, which is fair play (i normaly smile and wave back.)

Im a bit concerned about my trip, is it a good idea to just go a head with it, despite the extra chew we will probs get. Of course we will be ok on our side, maybe a spot check or two but what about in Rome, they are already a little anti-Muslim.

whats od guys think, just go ahead with it and of take what comes, or be sensbile, waste all our money and book a trip when things have settled?

cheers guys.

Don't carry a rucksack and stay the **** away from the mafia.

i would say that if you haven't done anything wrong you shouldn't have a problem. I don't mind being searched (unless it's a bend over job ) because I've got nothing to hide.

Just go away with your mates and have fun

I'd say ***** to em mate, it's them with the problem, not you.

Enjoy your holiday

go to the usa instead they probably give u orange jumpsuits

and at moses's post

When you get through customs just remember to ask them one thing....


"where da white women at?!!"

**** it it's you life get out there and have some fun. It's your holiday so have a great time!

Moses youare a racist You can't tar the whole fat bast@rd, christian fundamentalist, redneck lot of 'em with the same anti-muslim brush you know

Hey Guy continue as normal. Have a great time and see the sites. You shouldnt need to have any worries. Dont let these bustards spoil your life.

Get transparent bags.

Ahhhh.... Roma Have a fabuloso time - don't worry about the Romans, they are too busy making themselves look beautiful to even notice Have a shot of Limoncello for me - it's a great hair of the dog for the morning after the night before - have it at one of those lovely street cafes with some strong coffee

Don't run for the Train / plane / bus etc and you should be fine .


If anyone stares at you - stare back and maybe give a little nervous twitch - that should put the ****s up them

Or you could wear a Fookin big tag around your neck saying I'm not a bomber, I'm here to **** your women what ever happens have a great time.
Cheers

LMFAO!



Chances are you will look like tourists and you look Asian? - People might well be wary of you for this alone. Sad but a fact of life at the moment. A lot of people are jumpy and sacred.
You might well get stopped and searched, especially at the airports. Easy for me to say but if it was me i would do my best to grin and bare it.

Also, seriously - have a great time!

However have the Italians got troops in Iraq? - I am not sure so are they (Itialians) 'on the list'

Bit tasteless at the moment do you not think!

'Jumpy and sacred'

LOL - what a feckwit i am!

The best excuse i can come up witrh is having a 6 week old baby to look after and only having about 2 or so hours sleep last night.Tempted to edit it but i kinda like 'jumpy and sacred' now.

Time for more caffeine!

He doesn't understand mine, 101

Nobody understands you

You handle the current situation by being Jumpy and scared - I'll use humour.

Besides - The advice is probably quite good TBH

Just grinning and baring it Tel!

it was a harmless joke

just thought of something

are you sure you have asian friends


they'll be dissapointed with your (asain)

That's good advice! LMFAO.

Seriously though - keep a friendly face and don't forget to smile at all those lovely Italian beauties!
Enjoy your trip.

As said above, you've got nothing to hide and nothing to be worried about. Enjoy your trip, if you do get searched the worst thing you can do is make a scene. Just be open and helpful and kind to the security guys, if you don't give them any trouble or reason to suspect you of anything then you won't get any trouble back.

Have a nice hols.

hehe

Cheers for the advice and jokes guys, Rome here I come
