What is the shittiest place you have ever been and why?
Just returned from a road trip around the Balkans and Macedonia is without a doubt the most horrendous country I have ever visited. Highlights inc a young beggar kissing the bonnet of my hire car in the hope I would give him spare change and people walking past a dead rotting dog on the pavement.
9/10 would visit again.

Kenya
Went on holiday and safari, went to Mombasa on the bus because I was bored, shit hole...
Also went to Kingston, Jamaica , thought I was going to get kicked out the country for changing dollars with the locals...two cops caught me and took me down a back alley, they then got their cash out wanting to change it for English pounds...... ;D

I spent three months in Kenya and quite liked by the end. However, it is the worst country to have a hangover - heat, flies, dust, rattling 4x4 and constant harrasment. I heard mombasa was supposed to be nice?
Ha, Kingston jail is deffo somewhere you dont want to end up.

Wales, in particular the valleys. Spent one new years day in Mountain Ash. I was horrendously hungover, it was pissing down with rain, freezing cold and all the trains out had been cancelled. Took all my strength to not sob uncontrollably.

Tanzania- time stands still in parts of Africa- very depressing.
Turkey deserves a honorable mention, although the infrastructure is superior to most of Africa. Really horrible pseudofriendliness intermixed with contempt and lack of respect for women-
-
so you getbiggers spend your hard earned money and of all places in the world you thought going to africa was a great idea?
-
Vietnam.
Worst country I've ever visited.
Best country if you are a drug addict. ESFitness approved.

Welcome in Vietnam :-X :-[

Egypt, people are only friendly if you are buying stuff from them, truly horrible people, like most north african nationalities. Other than the pyramids and the temple of luxor the rest of the place is a shithole.

Skopje, Macedonia for the win. Visited almost 10 years ago and felt like I was in the most dreary, bleak socialist place I’ve ever been to. The gypsys were unbearable and relentless as well.

Dearborn, Michigan.

Yeah, it is a particularly unpleasant place. Makes Albania seem charming in comparison.

You and your “crew” in the photo? You must be beating the pussy away with a stick on a night out.

I really disliked Bali and Hawaii. Guess I'm a difficult customer.
-
TAPEWORM, Why did you dislike Hawaii? What island did you visit and what hotel? How about Waikiki?
Were you out of country visitorsrequired to get shots/innoculation before traveling to foreign countries?
Or was that just a military requirement?

Man, we have our problems. Shooting up our children and lying about it, is down on the list. Stay cool.

About Dearborn, by any chance do you, or anyone, remember a gym there years ago named Ron's Body Shop?

I found the locals just weren't very pleasant. There was a strong 'take your pictures and hand over your dollars and I'll give you a fake smile, but I'd conk your haole head and take your wallet given the opportunity' kind of vibe. Lot like Bali.
It happens in over-touristed areas. There are way crappier places on the planet, I'm sure.
-

I'm planning to visit this summer. Never been out of the US before so I guess worst is, for me, US.
What's bad about Belgium?
-
The French half. It's full of Frenchies.
-
Mexico: way too many Mexicans
-
Belize City, Belize. Like Haiti ... but the rest of Belize is not that much better. It was a big relief to
drive in to Mexico.

Faxed.

Belize City, Belize. Even scary during the daytime. Still have no idea why some cruise ships stop there.
Criminal activity, including armed robbery, mugging and sexual assault, is a significant problem." This "risk level" is no exaggeration: Belize has the world's third-highest murder rate at 44.7 per 100,000 of the population, according to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime.
-
Germany is nice to look at, but the people are pretty dire . Despite being purveyors of the most horrendous porn, they are oddly sexless and every middle aged German looks like an ageing lesbian regardless of their gender.
Also, like to just barge to the front of queues. Despicable.

I have been debating travelling through central America (in particular Guatemala and southern Mexico), but I really think it is just too risky.

I didn't think anybody was worse than the Japanese...

I've travelled through Central and and South America and had a great time. I went to Belize and drank with the locals at the casino. I wouldn't exactly advise going out in the city, but I enjoyed myself. I spent quite a bit of time in Mombasa - it's a beautiful place and I liked the people, but I was there during the 2013-2014 political turmoil when local Islamist clerics were being assassinated and the city erupted into violence frequently. I witnessed the riots, roadblocks, and arson attacks - but it was all in good fun. Tanzania was amazing. I spent a few months there and had a great experience. The only time I've ever lost my wallet was in a rural part of Tanzania, and the locals returned it to me with all of the money left inside.
I've been to around thirty countries, and Thailand is by far the biggest shithole I've ever had the misfortune of visiting. 'It's Disneyland for adults' they said. Baloney! It's Disneyland for fucking idiots. Spending a few months in Thailand made me reconsider my views on nuclear weapons. It's basically the physical embodiment of Getbig: a place for some of the biggest losers and social outcasts on Earth to congregate and live out a fantasy. A sweltering, neon hell where lost souls pay for the privilege of feigned affection, and the locals hover like hyenas waiting to strip you of every last penny you own. The only people stupid enough to fall for the facade are bodybuilders and starry-eyed students with their romanticised notions of achieving spiritual development through riding on the back of an elephant suffering from PTSD. Naturally, every man introducing himself to you in a bar happens to be a mercenary or millionaire - they're just disguised as a fat, middle-aged divorcee with strabismus and a fucked hip; and the bumbag strapped around their gut isn't really a bumbag containing their inhalor, antiretroviral meds and prostitute money: it's actually a customised holster containing their Walther PPK and 'combat cash' in case they have to make a break for the border and lay low for a while. ::)

You do realize there is more to Thailand than Nana Plaza and Patpong? Sounds like you spent most of your time in those red light areas and are basing Thailand on a few streets.

Was born and lived in Serbia for the first 19 years of my life. If you are not born into the tradition, history and language it can be very hard and scary to understand, I get it when people describe it as unsettling and dreary.
On the other hand, for me, I keep going back to my childhood and thinking more and more about it as I'm growing old in North America, romanticizing about the times long gone.
Is it a shithole...you could say that, since people have been repressed for thousands of years, either by the Ottoman Empire (today known as the Turks) or by their own sadists, recently (Slobodan Milosevic). Living like that you're always in survival mode and so it feels normal.
When I was a kid in the 80's, I lived near a movie theatre and people would come out of a night show and literally piss and shit outside the cinema, just fucking horrible, thinking about it now. Yeah, wars are good, they sterilize societies...

I was going to visit Serbia, but didn't have time to go from Kosovo to Macedonia or Montenegro to cross the border. Ended up just going to Macedonia ::)

if you have a chance visit Novi Sad (where I was born) during the Exit (electronic music) festival in July, truly incredible and of course the capital Belgrade for couple of days for beautiful women
-
Outside of Colombia, the region must have some of the most beautiful women on the planet. However, I was warned not to talk to any women in the company of a man. So to play it on the safe side (and because im a complete pussy)I didn't talk to any for fear of being beaten to death by some angry slav in a leather jacket.

lol, if they're alone (or with female friends), in a club or a caffe you'll be fine. It's easy to spark a convo with slavic unlike the north american women. Usually, you can start asking about places to visit or have a good time and if they speak english you're gtg
