The worst place you have visited?

Post by mycoolgirlq »

South India, it has to be. It is just so bad. I went there about 7 years ago with my friends and we all hated it! Apart from costing a fortune it was dirty and smelly. When it rained the road (there’s no paths at all) turned to mud and there was a constant smell of sewage. Would hate to see what it’s like now!
Do you have any worst experience? Please share…

The "3-D Loch Ness Monster Experience" on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh, went there last year expecting a bit of fun and a laugh and instead we were painfully crammed into low, cinema type seats to watch a 25 year old balck and white documentary about the myth of the Loch Ness with 3 utter crap pieces of 3-D: 1. The narrator points his stick at the audience to emphasise a point ( :roll: ) and two other occasions of a plastic Loch Ness emerging from a home-made pool. Easily the worst place i ever visited.

Ugh, hospital...

No, I'd have to say Lake Yucaipa where I went fishing a few years back.
There was no swimming allowed which was perfectly fine, until you realized why...

I caught more dead fish than live ones! and they were disgusting, one had it's eye torn out.
Then my wonderfully smart brother cast off and ended up throwing his expensive pole into the filth!
So my dad and I, ugh, went in the water...
It was horrid, I couldn't see a single thing it was so murky and polluted, I felt like I was swimming through grits or tapioca pudding; though not nearly as appetizing.
Only to emerge with nothing but a body covered in green slime.
So of course my bro uses my stick and line (my reel broke, it was temp) and fishes out his behemoth pole somewhow...

It wasn't even worth the hook through my toe that I got.

Fort Dix federal penitentiary, jail sucks but I deserved to be there and probably someplace worse than Fort Dix.

There was this small town in New Mexico my family and I stopped to eat in once. For the life of me I can't remember the name of the town, but I swear that everyone there was the result of inbreeding.

I've been to south India when I was like 7 or 8, and I had to walk barefoot on the streets when it was raining (can't remember why!) and threw up after seeing a frog in the bathroom. But, I still loved the place, and wouldn't mind going there again. :D

The worst place that I ever went to was this place I went to this summer for the holidays. I mean, the view was lovely and it was super windy but there was this mutant breed of GIANT GECKOS that were crawling the place. It was like a movie set for the film 'Attack of the Giant Geckos'. So I had to go to sleep for 2 days hoping and praying and trying not to imagine those GIANT GECKOS walking all over my body as I was sleeping in my bedroom. And when I say giant, I mean GIANT. Yuck! :cry: I wouldn't go back to that place if you paid me.

A Shell Station bathroom in Bakersfield, CA (knows as the armpit of CA). I had to go #2 for what felt like forever and when I finally found a place to go, it looked like someone did a paint by numbers job all over the bathroom stall and toilet with their own sh*t. It smelled ridiculous. We're talking eyes watering, dry heaves instantaneously, the sharp buzzing of more than a few content flies in my ears. I think people can be disgusting, but maybe those jokers thought it was funny. How sad for them. How sad for their mothers.

StephenKingman ... actually I have. My sister worked there for a number of years & I visited with her a few times. Lovely city for walking about & their Parliament building just awesome! I remember fabulous salads.
Can't understand how you did not like it after all Hungary is noted for the beauty of their women! :wink:

Oh i agree, the women are very pleasing to the eye, its just a shame there is nothing for tourists to do there. As in not a single thing. I was there for 3 of the longest days of my life on a holiday 4yrs ago with a mate who had promised me it was a beautiful place to kill a long weekend, however i personally found it a very boring city, the evidence of the relatively new tourist industry there to see in the contrast between the admittedly beautiful Castle and Parliament buildings to the grotty and decrepit apartment blocks.

Also, i was frisked twice by the rude police as we walked through the city for no reason at all, they simply didnt like the look of me and decided to interrogate me. And outside the famous Baths, i dont have a single thing to recommend Budapest to anyone. :?
