Absolutely. I was teaching English with Mormons in Kiev, UA in 2014 (as a volunteer, I am not Mormon). The nonprofit we were with stressed to us that we should absolutely, under no circumstance, go to Maidan (city center). This was when the revolution was just starting. Of course I went anyway.
At least when I was in Ukraine at that time, all the discord was contained within Maidan and the eastern regions. Life elsewhere went on as usual. I'm not sure if it is the same now. But it felt like going between two worlds.
City? Probably yes. Country? Probably no.
It really depends on the Size of the "cage" and what it has to "offer" to me. (how entertained I am, how well-off I am)
No. I like to avoid risk.
No.
No
Are the people saying it is dangerous saying why it is dangerous or being vague about it? Are they honest and trustworthy about the things inside the city or are they unreliable liars?
If it is a vague, unspecified threat from unreliable people then I'm certainly going out. If there are details and the people are otherwise trustworthy I'm staying in.
If they are untrustworthy or trustworthy but vague, it would come down to whether there is a reason to go outside other than finding out if they are lying.
Likely not, especially if it’s the same regular life where I have lots of responsibilities and have to work to live.
We talking about Gaza or Pyongyang?
