First Cyprus, then Greece, Europe in general (especially Western Europe).

Seriously, if the banks aren't safe, and might give you a 20+% haircut, where do you put your money? Swiss accounts? Large safes? Where is it safe?
Nowhere, unless it's in gold or silver, and then you'll pay a penalty for selling it... sigh
