Area bashing? When I saw the title it made me think of every restaurant, shop, and church I swore I would never darken the door of again.

Johannesburg. I went there on a week-long business trip in which I was the trainer. I thought I got food poisoning from the miserable food in the miserable hotel the first night. Turned out I had actually come down with the galloping flu/gastrointestinal disaster that was killing children that month all over town. The office manager pulled some money out of petty cash and took me to a miserably backward GP office in a tiny storefront office. Then I couldn't cancel my classes/extend my trip so I had to teach anyway while sweating and shaking and excusing myself to the loo twice an hour. During that week, I witnessed some amazingly casual racism and plain old high-handed classist entitlement. I utterly failed to pronounce the click-and-pop-ridden Xhosa name of the chief engineer and he got upset. I don't think I actually ate any food that week until I literally got to the airport. I liked the ostrich carpaccio I had for my pre-flight lunch. But I would not go back to Jo'burg to have it.

I posted in a thread about Manchester a few days ago. Absolutely horrible dive. Feel like you would get a stabbin' for just crossing the street and that's just in broad daylight. Didn't stick around long enough to experience the nightlife. Just got the hell out of it after one day and went elsewhere.

Paris. Brussels. London. Istanbul. Cork.

Brussels. Rotten kip.

Agadir, Morocco.
A beach that you could never fully relax on, the missus was constantly creeped out by creeps, very little in the form of entertainment in the evenings.

We just chilled in the confines of the hotel for the most part. Day trips etc were very welcome. Nice country but won't be venturing back to Agadir any time soon.

Even The Virgin Mother didn't stick around.

I predict someone to mention Dublin 4. Maybe a reference to bankers too.

I second Swansea.

It's a kip but it's not that bad! I was staying in what seemed to be the 'council estate' district and didn't get any trouble. Sure there was a lot of lads in matching tracksuits but same general rule as in Dublin don't go looking for trouble and you won't get it. It looks **** though and the area I was in was really run down, although as I said it seems like it was in a poor enough area of the city.

I clearly went on a bad day which must not have been representative of the other 364. My bad.
