Samsung Galaxy Gear and Google Glass

Middle East

Take a vacation in Abu Dhabi and never be curious with Somalia, Syria, Iraq or Afghanistan. Aside from network issues, your Google Glass will make you an ideal kidnap victim and natives around these countries are commonly targeting foreigners.

Europe

Not all countries in Europe are rich and several famous places with in Germany, France and Russia have high crime rates.

Smartphones are more common in Europe than wearables as of today.

South East Asia

Most people in South East Asia such as Indonesia and the Philippines are suffering from financial issues due to large tax and high-priced commodities. Some individuals resort on theft and kidnapping to earn money and sustain everyday living. Be sure you are located in secure areas, business centres and well-developed cities before flaunting your high-tech gears.

North Korea

North Korea has closed-door policy which won't let your tech gadgets access the Internet and communication that easily. The government controls everything from inside and out with implemented ban, preventing them to receive aid from other nations. It is fortunate that you are not living in this nation but in case something goes wrong and you popped out here, throw away your expensive gadgets and keep a single basic phone.
