Cities you'd never return to

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.

Brussels

The biggest dive I've ever seen. Felt like I was in North Africa most of the time, nearly mugged on the underground, impossible to find a supermarket and all the train stations were full of drunks/junkies.

The falls are amazing but other than that Niagra in Canada. The only way of the describing it is as the illegitimate love child of Las Vegas and Bray.

It's a pity too, you see pics of the falls themselves and think its this natural beauty, which it is, but then right beside it is this godawful cheap carnie looking town with run down amusements and just has tacky plastered all over it.

LA is a dump, sprawled out, filthy, homeless everywhere, the famous streets are grand but once you step off any of them its junkie central.

Paris is the same, most romantic city in the world my ass the Eiffel Tower is overrun with pickpockets and the city is filthy, Parisians are the biggest assholes in the world as well.

Because of one persons view?
Anyone i spoke to speaks highly of Prague.
I was only there for one day so looking forward to returning during the summer.
Interestingly i am also going to budapest although I've been there before also! Didn't notice the miserable people mentioned above!

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

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.

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.

That would be just like Dublin and Ireland then.

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

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

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.

I wouldn't go back to Dublin in a hurry. Full of pick pockets.

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.

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:

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