    Me I would not go to Turkey. I was there once and would never go again. I found the people rude and small minded as well as backwards.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    I wouldn't mind going to Constantinople or whatever they're calling it now, but Turkey is a no go for me due to their treatment of the Kurds and Armenians.

    Any particular reasons? The climate? the People? or combination of both? I have a friend who worked there for about 2 years, and she found it Ok ( but compared to some other places she worked in, that would be a relative experience.....:)

    Iran, as the successor of the Persian empire, has got three thousand years of history and culture going on, so don't rule it out completely.

    Most of the Middle East excepting Jordan and Egypt. This includes Israel.

    Much of sub-Saharan Africa where wars, famines, tinpot dictators reign - but I would very much like to see some parts such as Tanzania (a good friend’s sister has extended an open invitation for me to come and stay with her there), South Africa, Zambia, Kenya and Namibia.

    Some unstable countries in Central America I would also give a miss.

    I would have zero interest in any country in South America, at all, at all, at all.

    Anywhere else, grand.

    Shame you’ve ruled out Israel. Only been to Tel Aviv, but I really enjoyed it.

    Yes, they are but the proof of the pudding is in the eating ( or in this case, the visiting), and until you actually visit, or even live in a place then you will not really know what to think about them.

    Can I ask why?

    I’ve been to Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia and Peru - amazingly different in many ways.

    Colombia and Ecuador are on my list to visit.

    Saudi arabia on a relatively fat salary (teaching at a Uni), 4+ months holidays p.a. Very laid back - in the sense that everyone's bone lazy - isn't such a bad deal.

    From a distance, places seem uninhabitable but if you factor in some advantages (money, free time), you'd be surprised what you might be willing to put up with

    Everything being relative to the situation you are leaving behind of course

    Pakistan looks fairly iffy, Bangladesh not for me either.
    Stayed overnight in Bahrain, twas a fairly soulless place. Any building older than 10 years seemed to be demolished for a newer bigger shinier one!
