KK. Buckley reacted to Vacajoe's post in the thread Where people feel safe to walk (at night) with Like.
Japan is 70%?!!? That must be from overly-cautious Japanese citizens because habingvlived there, it’s 100% safe 100% of the time! As for the point at hand, though, walking the Camino felt extremely safe and really shouldn’t keep one from going...
