Zambia (especially along the Zambezi), the Ethiopian Highlands, the game reserves in Tanzania, Botswana and South Africa - just for starters.

Well I can see why Zambia is probably delighted. My school fundraises for holidays to Zambia every two years and then they help them in Zambia such as building things or having fun with them.

He's not really. I lived there for a few years and it really is an awful city, especially around the main train station and finance area. You have junkies shooting up in broad day light and the police just ignore it. I'll never forget the first time I saw this, walking down the steps into the underground and a guy was sitting on the steps with his arm strapped up, upside down beer can with what I presume was heroin in it and he proceeds to shoot up. People just walked around him on the way up and down, and the worst part was at the bottom a group of children standing there watching him. And that is not a one off, the city tried to clean up the problem but only spread. So now they just control it in this area and leave the junkies to it.

The only redeeming thing about Frankfurt is the night life. It has some of the best clubs I've ever been to.

Anyone else get nothing but a smell of pi55 in Brussels? The whole city reeked of stale urine.

I liked the city otherwise and would go back again.

I've had some good times in Brussels. Great food.

The food is amazing. I love the old town square and the people are very friendly. It's not exactly the most exciting place but its definitely worth a visit.

Tangiers. There's never been a more wretched hive of scum and villainy

Was there when I was 13, very, very unfriendly. Street sellers everywhere too and it was quite headwrecking. The actual city was quite cool, the Medieval feel to the place was interesting.

It's a miserable place, anything that is good in Brussels (like food) can be enjoyed in Ghent (lovely spot) or Antwerp. Grand place is fairly underwhelming, plazas are two a penny around northern and central Europe. Plenty nicer than grand place.

There are better places than Brussels but including on a "worst on earth" type list is ridiculous.

I make regular trips and after an early flight and busy morning, a moules frites lunch with a glass of sancerre is not what I call hardship.

Brussels is ok if you want to relax. Antwerp and Bruges are quite close too and are lovely cities. Trains are cheap and regular too.

If I had to, I would, but having been to Las Vegas out of nothing other than morbid curiosity, I can see absolutely no reason to step foot in the horrible kip again. What really blew me away was the banality of everything; huge number of casinos and every single one felt the exact same.

I think the responses people here are getting is more of a reflection on them than the places they visited.

Some people just have those faces which people dont like.

Ive got a beautiful and friendly face, people respond well to me and everywhere is great....

The pyramid one, the castle one, the roman one, the pirate one, the paris one, the new york one...

Wandered along fremont street for a few hours too.




It's really obviously a place I wouldn't be into, like. I can't imagine anyone who has somewhat of a negative attitude towards the idea of Vegas being swayed by the actuality of it.

I went out of curiosity too, and after 24 hours, I just thought 'Meh.' After 48 hours, I couldn't wait to get out of there. I know people (who don't really gamble) who go on holidays there for 2 or 3 weeks at a time every few years and love it. Don't really get it, but each to their own I suppose.

You'd probably find an Irish bar in North Korea somewhere.

I've heard the food is terrible though. It's mainly fermented spice paste served with various animal penises.

Sweet Jesus.
