4th highest murder rate in the world by some estimates, but yet somehow the USVI doesn't have a bad reputation among Americans. But when I mention my American friends should visit Suriname, they are immediately concerned with their safety. USVI has produced the band "Midnite" though, the greatest band of the century in my opinion. I always wanted to visit for Dub in The Rainforest, but due to my Cambodian family members inability to get American visas, it's not on our list of realities.
