But isn't those also quite common vacation destinations tho? I mean, haven't been to Montana.. but I know many who have been to Brazil and South Korea, South Africa is one of my favourite countries to visit, and so is Scotland.
I might come from a family that travel loads, but I would say that many travel to other destinations than New York, Paris and Tokyo.

Sweden...

I would say that we (being a Swede) have about the same amount of police officers per capita as the US has. Which means that whilst the cities are smaller the police force is also smaller. When it comes to crime Sweden isn't a perfect place, by no means, we have gang wars too. However, many other countries do not care of the "everyday" crimes and violence that occur in a smaller country, which is why you perhaps have not heard that much of it. However, I feel like I have to stress a couple of things. First, In Sweden guns are not legal, so with automatically less people carrying guns, less gun related violence will occur. Second, We do have a smaller income gap between rich and poor, thus crime of the violent kind (eco-crime therefore not included) might (stress the might part) be a bit lower. Third, we are taught from an early age that police officers are to be respected, and that they are here for our protection, which we are also SHOWN.

For me equality is not that there should be for example a 50/50 divide of the gender at a workplace, for me it is that one should not even consider gender when hiring, or deciding pay etc, it should all be based on performance. What I find wrong tho is something that they do here in Sweden, to be a firefighter you have to pass a couple of tests, the tests for women are "easier" with lighter weights etc. then a man. There should be no separation between the sexes here, just that the best person, man or woman, should be hired/accepted to the programme.
