According to Hollywood, you shouldn't travel to these places. Repeat. Don't travel to these places. Never ever visit these places.

Don't Travel to:
10. Antarctica, as depicted in The March of the Penguins (2005)
9. Kazakhstan, as depicted in Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2006)
8. Colombia, as depicted in Romancing the Stone (1984) and Collateral Damage (2002)
7. Texas, as depicted in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)
6. Brazil, as depicted in Turistas (2006)
5. Burma, as depicted in Rambo (2008)
4. New Mexico, as depicted in The Hills Have Eyes (2006)
3. Mexico City (Mexico) and Caracas (Venezuela), as depicted in Man on Fire (2004) and Secuestro Express (2005)
2. Slovakia, as depicted in Hostel (2005)
1. Sierra Leone, as depicted in Blood Diamond (2006) and Tears of the Sun (2003)

Shouldn't USA (especially New York, Las Vegas...) be in the list too? I mean, of all the crime (Law & Order), murders (CSi), gangsters (GodFather Trilogy), disasters (The Day After Tomorrow) and monsters (Ghostbusters) that happen in the USA from the silverscreen.

Travelling overseas (A helpful tip for non American Tourists)

A useful strategy for non-Americans when travelling overseas to countries other than USA is to change their local currency to the US Greenback.

This could be useful as the US Dollar is more recognised throughout the world.

So if you do take this route, try to buy USD bills in all denominations from $1, to $5, $10 etc... A $1 bill could be useful when tipping a bellhop or even in a local Chinese market where they would often consider accepting the greenback as payment.
