Can you erase your entire online history. If not don't travel abroad

Two British women have been sentenced to six years and eight months in jail. They had been caught with drugs in Peru.

Fact is that they once they arrived in Spain were told that accidents would happen to their families at home if they didn't participate trying to smuggle drugs from Peru to Spain. All the information about relatives they have given the criminal masterminds behind the crimes themselves by being on Facebook, Twitter etc. which is normal for many young adults.

That combined with the knowledge that it is normal for the hotels and travel agencies to know the names and hometowns of the guests in advance make it easy to learn all you know to force a person to do all you want.

Because who wouldn't try to save a kid sister or a niece from being run over by a car back home?

It seems that the authorities in Spain have done little to prevent similar cases from happening in the future. They have not arrested and taken everyone in with connections to Peru. They have not clamped hard down on immigrants from South America. Two woman is serving time in Peru under conditions which makes it unlikely for them to survive unless they are transferred to the United Kingdom or they manage to escape like the woman from Norway who aided by the embassy managed to get out of Bolivia.

The death sentence handed out should have resulted in bigger focus on the level of security tourists have to deal with in Spain. However it seems that the government in Spain doesn’t care about the tourist industry or the economy in general. Maybe the unemployment rate in Spain is not large enough. It seems that the only answer people can give is to stay away from Spain.

We urge all people who think about choosing Spain for their next holiday to reconsider. The Internet remembers almost everything. It is quite impossible to delete your entire online history and the criminals who work in hotels and travel agencies know when you leave, where you live and who your relatives are.

Don’t be the next Melissa Reid and Michaella McCollum. Stay away from Spain.

Prague cheats tourists

We have learned that several teenagers have been asked to leave various night clubs despite the fact that they have purchased party packages.

It seems that the police works in the spirit of Ludmila Brožová-Polednová who was the icon for law and order shortly after World War II.

It leaves the tourist no reason for choosing Prague and the Czech Republic as destination for holidays. We urge all Danes not to purchase trips to the Czech Republic in the future.

A contract is a contract. A deal is a deal. Will they not deliver what they promised to sell then the only answer but be to sue both the traveling agencies, the hotel.

We also urge all Danes who is in Prague right now to make videos and document the arrest procedure and publish the abuse on the Internet to warn tourists from other countries to stay away from the Czech republic also.

Warning about the Green card system in Denmark

If you wan't to seek a job in Denmark you can apply in our Green Card system, but please don't. Most likely you will be cheated. I got a link to a blog with an entry about this problem in my RSS-feed. I decided to quote it in full because a system like this gives Denmark a bad reputation and some might believe that it is a case of xenophobia when it in reality is caused by the fact that the Danish education is second-to-none placing the Danes first when it comes to any kind of job.

Greencard to Denmark is about cheating people

Our politicians created the Greencard system so well-educated people could enter Denmark seeking highpaid jobs.

It is a nice thought but it is a lie.

The reality is that the employees having earned a PhD or something at a similar level end up working as dishwashers or cleaners. Some even have to turn to prostitution.

The problem is simple. No education earned abroad can compete with a degree from the Danish education system. Even a high school exam from a Danish high school qualifies you better to any job than a foreign degree from a top-university.

Often people have paid a lot to cover the travel expenses. They might even have created dept. Then they end up in jobs where they in no way can pay the debt in full during a life time.

I don't know how to reach out to the people around the world hoping that there is a job in Denmark to warn them to stay away.

I have posted this post to warn people because I feel very bad that people are lured here when there is no hope for them.

Please repost this message to anyone you know so these personal tragedies can be avoided.
