What is the weirdest place you have visited?

Berlin. It's a nice city and the people are......okay I suppose. The folks we met is Resturaunts, bars etc. seemed to be way overly friendly. Most of them reminded me of Basil Fawlty (don't mention the war) which made our tour of the wall interesting to say the least..

We basically went for a píss up but realised it's a much more family orientated city, which is grand, we'll know for future reference...

In summary, nice city, beautiful beer, very efficient transport system (obviously) and people who are very different than the Irish. Take from that what you will.

Coober Pedy, Austalia is pretty surreal. Most people live underground and there's a grave in the local cemetery with a tapped keg as a headstone......

The hens walking around the street & the museum full of random sh1t were the highlights for me.strange place.

If you can't manage a raucous p*ss up in Berlin there is something terribly astray.

Medyka. Border between Poland and Ukraine.

Mad place. Had to pass through it a few years back and tourists are not advised to walk through. Good god where they right. People charging through and fighting each other non-stop. Took us about 3 and a half hours to get through.

Once we got to the otherside (Ukraine) we were then followed by "taxi-men" while looking for a bus to Lviv. Buses were stopped at that time and the "taxi-men" began to get very aggressive with us for not wanting to use their service.

We eventually bribed a bus driver to get us outta there. Seemed like a real lawless place and would not have liked to spend much longer there.

Actually when we were in Lviv we had a gun pulled on us in a hotel because we didn't want to go to this party in the middle of nowhere. So yea. Mad spots!

Russia. Cant go anywhere without someone telling you what to do/where to stand etc

Douglas on The Isle of Man. I know it's a big enough island but there has to be some inbreeding going on. And either there is only one dentist on the entire island or none as the amount of people (including cracking looking women) with missing teeth or bad teeth.

Paddle faster, I hear banjos.

I’m not very well travelled outside of Ireland . In Ireland though, the weirdest place I’ve been is probably Oweynagat (Cave of the Cats). Went with a big group during a heatwave a few years ago. You wouldn’t guess how big it is when you look at the tiny little entrance, but it’s huge and once we were inside it was freezing, pitch-black and there was sticky watery mud up past our ankles.
We got a fair bit into the cave but then one of the lads shone his torch into a type of alcove where some pagan type had built an “altar”. Basically a strangled chicken, a small pot of what we think was blood, some coloured string and some sort of clay phallic-looking things. We’d been to other caves and passages tombs before and you see offerings all the time. But this was pretty gruesome and one person who was terrified of birds started screaming the place down when she saw the chicken, the echos were unbelievable.
There was a weird feeling about the whole place because of the claustrophobia, darkness and especially the cold and wet after it being so hot outside. And the altar/horribly echoed screaming was kinda the last straw so we turned back after that .
