Travel Warning?

It was noted in Switzerland today....a travel warning has been issued for Germany.....warning the Swiss to be vigilant and careful because of the riots in Chemnitz.

Should you be worried about traveling around in Germany?  Well.....no.  Generally, if you kinda walked into some area of a town and there's some demonstration going on....my general advice is to backtrack a street or two....find a pub, and sip down two or three beers until the riot lessens.....then wander back to your hotel room.

Don't get real stupid and stand out in the middle of a riot....to take pictures. 

Don't go asking folks what the riot is about.

Don't approach any group of cops who appear to have riot gear on.

Don't go near an area that appears to have tear-gas.

Don't worry about being picked on as a foreigner. 

Don't respond to reporters when they ask what you think about the riot.

Don't anticipate anyone with a hoodie on....is your friend.

Just use common sense.
