Where's somewhere you've visited but wouldn't want to go back to?

[00100001]

Positive and negative!

I went to Las Vegas, glad I went, but no desire to return! :)

Would never return to Warwick Castle. It's quite over rated...and not much even happened there, it just looks the part! :)

China. Spitting, crotchless baby grows, oppressive.

Siquijor, Philippines. Paradise.

Tanzania, or any part of East Africa tbh. I grew up in a poor part Asia so used to poverty, heat, lack of infrastructure. What really depressed me was the lack of get up and go, and a complete dependence on 'God will provide'. I found the lack of hope really hard to swallow, and also the complete take over by the Chinese for all infrastructure projects. World domination at its best.

Conversely, I found Vietnam fantastic for this reason. So much optimism, and a real sense of pride and ownership for their future. It really does change the energy of a place.

Jerusalem and the surrounds. Quite interesting but wouldn't want to go back. Also, Hong Kong, because I felt so closed in by all the massive skyscrapers and the people were astonishingly rude to me--at least when I was a woman alone; when I was with DP they were just neutral. All very strange.

I think I'm easily pleased. Wherever I go, I end up thinking I'd like to go back. I'm genuinely struggling to think of anywhere I've been to which I'd rule out a return trip.

I didn't read the title properly, ignore my bit about Philippines 🙄

Bradford - stayed for work and only place I've felt too unsafe to eat out alone and ended up buying food in M&S to eat in my hotel room

Southampton - too industrial, prefer the proper seaside towns either side

Gran Canaria - was so bored and couldn't wait to come home

Conversely I loved San Francisco and Alcatraz

Legoland

PS. Ireland? What, all of it?

The people are lovely and I've never managed to have a bad meal there yet. West Coast, especially the Ring of Kerry, are spectacularly beautiful. I understand why people might find Dublin uninspiring but as big lover of Irish literature it feels like a bit of a Mecca to me - and Belfast is a wonderful up-and-coming city which unfairly still gets a bad rap because of the troubles. Strangford Lough I've never been to but I want to, it looks simply beautiful.

(Got images of Father Jack in my head now chuntering 'I'm still on that fekin island!)

One of the most beautiful places I have ever seen is around Kylemore in Connemara. I discovered a gorgeous mountain lake with no one else around on the Twelve Bens. I remember just drinking in the scenery and feeling like I was close to Heaven.

I know that but both are in Africa.

Clacton - gorgeous beach, deprivation is palpable.

Haverhill - a bit sad and a lot depressing.

Marrakech - Have been twice, the first time was exciting, the second time I immediately got fatigued by the continual harassment, rudeness and constant stinky drain smell

Egypt
Amazing history but my digestive system has never fully recovered and the hassle from men in Cairo was unbearable.

@Arsebucket

Rome.

Instantly hated it.

Came here to see if anyone said Rome. Give me Florence any day

Cairo. I'm glad I went once to see the pyramids & the Sphinx but felt unsafe the whole time.

Morocco (specifically Tangiers).

Milan, Skegness, Centreparks.

I quite liked the countryside in Hong Kong and it felt very clean with really fresh air.

I grew up in Oxford and the problem with it is that you have to put a lot of effort into finding the good bits, you can walk round and not see anything but go through one doorway and it’s a different world.
In the U.K. Hull and Blackpool are the places I never want to return to. London is OK if you’re going somewhere specific rather than just to potter.
Love the west coast of the highlands.

RHS Wisley. I go there very rarely but each time I do, I just feel bored and want to go to leave. It’s like each time I try eating olives: maybe this time I’ll like them. Nope, still taste like antiseptic.

Oh yes Jerusalem & Bethlehem too. Good to have seen once.

Oh, and totally agree on Centeparcs, worst place I have ever been. Amazed that people spend £1000s to go.

what is New Brighton ?

Naples, there was an air of doom around the City

Yes, there is That was the place I once got off a ship, looked around and got straight back on again (and I'm absolutely not the sort to imagine a bogeyman behind every tree)

Ditto San Francisco, the only place in the US where I've ever felt unsafe

Sad to see Florida named so often though - I honestly wonder how many ever get beyond the theme parks and the horrible clip joints which surround them like flies on a turd

@HarebrightCedarmoon

Cornwall is beautiful, and so is Devon but both are far too busy at this time of year. I much prefer Norfolk in summer. Quietly lovely and not so many braying idiots. If you avoid the royal estates anyway .

Just been to north Norfolk for a week (in North West England) knew nothing about it beforehand. Stayed in Morston and went to Blakeney, Holkham, Burnham Market, Sheringham (to see friends on holiday too), Wells-next-the-sea and a few more. Fell in love!

Blackpool - really, really didn't like it.
Malta - nice, but I felt we had 'done' it by the end of the holiday.
Any funfair - just not for me.

Singapore for some reason! For me not worth the 11 hour flight. Though it is a great place; just not worth the travel (for me).

@lovescats3

what is New Brighton ?

It’s a grothole on the Wirral
