Apparently, logic is not Krygowski's strong suit. 

My original statement had to do with walking through unfamiliar
neighborhoods at night in foreign countries that I was visiting in the
Caribbean. That's far from being "any" foreign country. 

Krygowski is not known for honesty, especially when he's angry about
me calling out his recent imaginative story about dining a German guy.

He doesn't realize how easy it is for me to tell when he's lying..

FWIW, "Unfamiliar means that you don't know if it is dangerous or not.
There are, in fact, dangerous neighborhood in most countries, and
Krygowski admitted in this thread (see below) that there were indeed
neighborhoods that he'd avoid.

"There are neighborhoods I know where I would probably avoid walking
alone at night."
--Krygowski

But I repeat, anyone who says that have no trepidations about walking,
alone, at night, in an unfamiliar neighborhood in a foreign country is
either a moron or a liar.  Well, I know that Krygowski is a liar.....
