    Really want to put down a city but I've liked every city I've been to. I'll say Warsaw though only because it was ****ing freezing there.

    Paris and Venice. Unless you speak French Paris feels unfriendly. I thought Venice was an overpriced kip.

    Fantastic place, not so if you're a lady in all fairness.

    The Moroccan's are very touchy-feely/lascivious towards the ladies...

    I aggressively told more than a few to fook off away from my woman when we were there :mad:

    I'm surprised no one has posted my favourite phrase on boards yet. Which is "thinly veiled I have been abroad". Like its not in the slightest bit funny.

    But I wouldn't go back to anywhere in china. Particularly the smaller cities where you kept on seeing the same people for a day. Because the police follow you(plain clothed). Even in McDonald's there is plain clothed officers to stop you getting robbed

    Hamburg. Booooring.

    Saying that I actually had a great time because I was with my friends, but I've no desire to go back.

    Same with Boston. It was okay but if I was flying that far I'd rather do something new.

    I hired a body guard over there, came with his own machete and free ganja. Lovely chap, took us to meets the family and all. I'd hire my own security again if going back, there very cheap.

    Having lived in Hong kong, I would never ever ever go to mainland china.

    Rome, Italy in general. You have to pay to get in nearly everywhere and everyone is trying the gouge as much money as possible from you.

    Seeing middle aged men with girls who didn't even look 18 was disturbing but I personally liked Phnom penh. Great party atmosphere at night and learning first hand about the horrific history of the place was pretty life changing for me.

    Having been in a good few places around the world, I would have to say Budapest is a beautiful one with regard to history and architecture, but it is definately to most unfriendly place I've been, the people I encountered were rude and unhelpful consistantly, hence I will not be returning. Other than that I'd say stuttgart in germany(yawn), or varanassi in India, an interesting place but a nightmare to get around.

    Varanasi??? What a stunning city. It's in India so what did you expect? A metro?? Jesus wept.
