DONAL ON TOUGHEST TOWNS.WASHINGTON We went to an area called Trinidad. After Barack Obama's victory it was amazing to be in this African-American neighbourhood and to see people walking on air. The only whites people told us about were heroin or crack addicts. NAPLES There was a little antagonism in Casal di Principe Casal di Principe is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Caserta in the Italian region Campania, located about 25 km northwest of Naples and about 20 km southwest of Caserta. As of 31 December 2004, it had a population of 20,158 and an area of 23.4 km². , a small town which turns over 35billion euros from drugs and contraband. I got stared down a couple of times by strange-looking guys and you are glad you are outside the police station. But I have seen more than these guys will ever see on the Discovery channel so they are not going to intimidate me. On the other hand, you put a gun to my head and I am intimidated! CAPE TOWN Cape Town or Capetown, city (1991 pop. 854,616), legislative capital of South Africa and capital of Western Cape, a port on the Atlantic Ocean. It was the capital of Cape Province before that province's subdivision in 1994. Nowhere is safe here. I went to the Cape Flats The Cape Flats (Afrikaans: Die Kaapse Vlakte) is an expansive, low-lying, flat area situated to the southeast of the central business district of Cape Town. To most people in Cape Town, the area is known simply as "The Flats". . These areas are dangerous. The murder rate is off the scale - but the statistics don't mean every tourist is going to be maimed, killed or raped. CAPTION(S): Target man: Donal McIntyre |
