    What's the most unusual holiday destination you've been on? Have you ever traveled off the beaten track and gone to some made scone place like, say, Tajikistan or something?

    I have booked a holiday with my amazing beautiful girlfriend to Budapest this summer, but would like to branch out next summer.

    Have you been anywhere that shocked people when they asked? Not the usual Spain or Portugal etc. Any suggestions, dos, don't ??

    Love to hear your stories. I am planning Tajikistan and Xingjiang in west China and Ürümqi next year.

    So folks, wanna share your globe-wandering stories?

    You would probably be better of asking someone who is actually a mod of AH.

    somwhere you'd go for the banter, or the ha ha. For the craic like. I was chatting a lad I know today who just got back from his hols. "Where'd you go?" says I. "Iraq" says he. Riiight. And he was. Just back from his hols in Iraq. And he's Nigerian. Go figure. "Why'd ya go there" says I. " I thought it sounded interesting and it was cheap" he says. So now. I'd say that's a mad scone place altogether.

    Vietnam is probably the most adventurous I've been to. Ho Chi Minh City is quite like Western cities, Hanoi is a bit different though. Some of the rural areas are quite cool.

    ma nizzle.

    Who doesn't know what a mad scone place is? Does no-one watch the rubber bandits? I reckon somwhere in deepest Eastern Europe could be interesting. Monrovagrariastan or the like. And I'll bet the women are gorgeous there. The amazing beautiful girlfriend could be a bit baggagey..
