To ask which country you would not visit again and why?

[travelcat]

I love hearing about travel experiences and am interested in knowing about places you have visited that you wouldn't go back to.

AIBU to ask which country you'd avoid in the future and what specifically made your experience less enjoyable? Was it due to culture, safety, or something else?

What a stupid, ignorant statement. If you imagine it makes you sound edgy and clever...it doesn't.

Let's not mention the peculiar gender ratio in India and why it exists. Your chance of surviving pregnancy as a female foetus is very significantly higher in the US, to put it mildly.

Really? You personally experienced all that when you travelled here? I must say that in all my foreign travels I never attended an election count or stood outside prisons to see who was going in and out. Must've been a busy trip if you had time to witness all that and wait with your relative too.

Almost all of it reads more like you've just skimmed through the Daily Mail.

@DdraigGoch yeah, the ever so original "Two Tier Kier" jibe just gives off "I've been frothing at right wing accounts and reading tabloids that peddle shite" vibes 😁

Africa is a continent with about 54 countries in it though
Have you visited them all?!
That's like someone visiting Italy, hating it and then wiping off the whole of Europe as a result.

And the election count was something you personally experienced was it? Did you walk down the street and see a prison van throw a rapist out of the back (you can always tell who's a rapist, right?) because they had spotted someone texting and needed to lock them up instead?

This thread is about what you've personally experienced. I could believe that you found London or Glasgow grim. The other drivel? I'm calling bullshit, you're regurgitating the tabloids.

I'm now wondering where it is you've moved to. My money is that it is the US and you'll be very disappointed if/when Trump loses.

I could murder a square sausage roll right now...I'm on a diet!

Honestly, I really think Brits must be the worst travellers in the world, they expect everywhere to be the same as home, it's weird. Surely you travel to see different ways of life. Also, so many tales of how "boring" a place is - as though the whole of Britain is just throbbing with excitement all the time I know a lot of people who have travelled extensively, and while there are places they've liked less than others I've never encountered any of the ridiculous reasons I've seen on this, and other, threads. Apparently people living in other countries are supposed to entertain, and fall over themselves to be friendly, to the superior Brits.

I’ll happily eat it for you no diet going on here😀

Like some PPs, the UAE, particularly Abu Dhabi. The attitude toward women is horrible. Not lecherous, but treating women as inferior. I felt enraged and powerless (aside from being able to leave) on a daily basis.

In that case, put some brown sauce on it for me!

Catching a haggis is easy. Just scare it into running the wrong way around the hill and it'll roll to the bottom.

I wouldn't go back to San Francisco. Elements of it I thought were lovely but my god the people who live there must have disassociated from reality. The levels of homelessness, drug use and poor mental health were staggering.

No desire to visit Saudi countries due to their oppression of women and god knows what else. I loved Egypt and especially the Red Sea snorkelling and diving but tik tok has put me off with showing me shark attacks.

I doubt I will go back to Oz and NZ. I've really gone off flying and it's too far.

Well, I loved North Wales and thought the language was the most interesting bit of the country.

I mean, obviously, people all over the world speak language other than English other than Wales. But Wales was somehow quite unique. I remember sitting in tea shops thinking "This is fascinating. I'm sitting in a cafe surrounded by mostly white UK people who are eating beans on toast and drinking tea with milk in it and wearing M&S cardis etc., AND THEY ARE SPEAKING TO EACH OTHER IN ELVISH."

I went around squinting at the menus and signs trying to work out which word was which and how the sentences fitted together.

Such an interesting country. And very beautiful (as long as the weather holds out, which it mostly did during my visit).

I live in London and have yet to see these “loons shouting anti-Semitic filth in the street”.

I am quite sure these are not your eye-witness accounts but what Daily Mail comments have told you.

I reckon Australia. I experienced lots of people like that in Australia. Britons and White South Africans with particular views who see Australia as the promised land…..!

England. Too many people who are scared of dehydrated peas.
