So imagine my dismay when I noticed a local brothel mentioned on a Cozumel forumβ¦they have those on my sweet, innocent island? I asked Jason about it and he had heard of at least 3 from talking with other men on our visits. I admit I have found it funny that any time my husband is in a foreign country and alone after dark or sometimes during the day offers of all sorts of illicit substances and by the hour companionship materialize out of nowhere.
Being a rational person my panic attack quickly subsided and reason kicked back in. We currently live on the edge of Des Moines, which I have often referred to as a really large small town. We also have a relative who has worked on the narcotic squad for years and shares interesting information now and then about the levels of gang activity-who knew the Asian Mafia had a huge presence in Des Moines? The point is there are illicit activities going on in every town everywhere, including the tiny Iowa suburb I live in.
Why is this? Click To Tweet. Thanks to sensationalized news coverage of all the shootings, robberies, scandals and car accidents, it looks dangerous to step outside, much less live here.
You know the reality of where you live is different, and most places are. There are homeless people on the streets, you might have just learned to look past them at home. Just look at my experience in Rio de Janeiro , a city with the reputation of being one of the most dangerous. There are plenty of other things to see and life is too short to live in fear.
