Places you will not be visiting again

[Jairzinho]

Italy.

 

I'd say the USA but my brother and mum live there.

 

Where did you go?

[bouncebrigade]

Dublin

 

Cen fath?

[Unrighteous]

Where did you go?

 

All over really... I was there for a few weeks. One of the worst trips that I've had in Europe.

[Jairzinho]

Fair enough, comfortably my favourite country in Europe.

This is Cultural Amnesty threadworthy. What didnt you like?

Everything? The Food. The accommodations. The People.

 

I have a friend from Milan, and I stayed with him for a few days, and that was the only part of the trip where everything didn't suck.

 

It's fucking shit. Remarkably shit.

 

I've been nearly every country in Europe, and I loathed Italy. Greece was fairly bad... but Greek Isles are pretty nice.

[Jairzinho]

The food?

 

What the fuck is wrong with you?

[Unrighteous]

Easy. I like good food. I like GOOD Italian food. Most of the food there was fucking mediocre at best.

[Bjornebye]

Remmie will be after you.

 

yeah he got me within about 3 minutes

[Jairzinho]

Okay.

It really isn't.

It really, really, really is...

[The Great Jacko]

Johannesburg - too scary for me and I don't like staying in the weird bubble that is the Mandela Square area. Everyone laughs at you for being nervous then proceeds to tell you about their personal car jacking, burglary, shooting, hostage experiences and no they weren't on the wind up. I'm middle aged with kids I don't need that in my life.

I've been to a lot of places and there are very few I didn't like. I always try and see the positives, there's got to be something interesting about most places. Sure there are some places I prefer over others, but not many I would point blank refuse to return to. And certainly none I can think of at the moment.

[moof]

Italy is brilliant. I lived in Modena for a few years. Beautiful place and loved every minute.

[Champ]

Lidl

 

That wasn't quite what I had in mind but reminded me of my decision, some years ago now, after a particularly grim experience in Bath, never to eat in a Pizza Hut again (having young kids is my excuse for going there in the first place).

I have never regretted that decision

[Dec]

Naples - Worst place i've ever been to. All of the refuse collectors were on strike so there were huge piles of rubbish all over the place. Saw a fair few rats in the streets too. Complete dump, then you factor in the locals. Lads following us everywhere hoping to get one of us on our own to do us in and rob us, fair few pickpockets about and fans of a certain sport looking to get a few slashes in. Absolute fucking toilet that's home to a cacophony of fucking cunts.

 

Skopje - I actually really enjoyed Skopje. A fair bit to see and do and we found a few decent enough bars, had great couple of days there. Doubt i'll return there just because it's a bit of a pain in the backside to get to. We had to take a six hour bus ride from Sofia to get there and do the same coming back.

 

Trabzon - Again a place I enjoyed but to get there means connecting through Istanbul. For the same price i'd rather go and experience a new place.

 

Minsk - Really cheap beer and vodka but the visa is a pain in the arse.

Portsmouth.

 

Had the misfortune of traveling through there twice on my bike (ferries), and I've never seen a nastier, shittier and brain dead place in all my travels in England.

 

Cardiff was a strange place too - I felt like an alien the way people were avoiding me.

 

In the world ? Still Portsmouth.

 

edit: 8000 posts ! hooray.

[PestiRed]

Worksop - don't really feel that I need to explain

 

 

Neko - 8,000th post and no cats or tits? WTF?

Cardiff? Eh. Fooking million times better than cunting london or wembley (which is in london but still a cuntish place) Cardiffs a great city.

[Jairzinho]

Now Newport on the other hand...

[zigackly]

Don't think I've ever been anywhere that I wouldn't go to again.

[aikido]

Quito, Ecuador. Only spent two days there but thought it was a dangerous, depressing dump of a city.

[RJ Fan club]

Ciudad Juárez. Never a fucking again. Iffy.

Undoubtedly, but I recall two bizarre and awkward encounters with the local townsfolk that I'll never forget. One was with two police officers standing in a square who weren't the slightest bit interested in helping me locate a hostel (which happened to be a block away). They weren't busy, they just didn't seem to have the ability or desire to hold a conversation.

 

The second was in a nice waterfront pub, where as soon as I walked through the door (alone), every single person (20+) swung round and stopped talking. I remember getting a beer, hiding in the corner, and making a quick exit...frosty.

 

Never seen a place like it. I'm sure it's very nice, but I'll never go back.

 

You know what the true shithole of the world is though - Costa Blanca, Spain (particularly around Alicante and the English/German resort towns). Never have I seen a more depressing landscape. Utterly devoid of intelligent life.
