I second that. Very ghetto... ugly place, miserable weather, ugly people generally, lots of slummy areas. Fairly high rate of crime, poorly educated populus. The commute to work at the Tunica pokerrooms is an ugly dreadful trip. Not sure I remember one thing I liked about the area. Horseshoe poker room is nice and their steak sandwiches are good. Also easy to pick up on single women considering there is not much male competition.

Gary, Indiana seemed like a real armpit of a place, but I have only passed through there on several occassions.

alcohol is expensive otherwise it's w/e.

There isn't a whole lot to do in KL but the food is amazing. I was there during Ramadan and the night markets were the best I have ever been to. I enjoyed KL.

Nowhere comes to mind. For me it comes down to the people I meet, and I meet good people everywhere. Especially in KL, now have many friends there

If I had to give an answer I will go with Sharm El Sheikh

Re: What's the worst city you visited ?

I've heard Marseille and Naples are huge holes but haven't been there myself.

I try to avoid going to terrible places so I don't have many places that have been really awful. Podgorica, Montenegro was bad. Chau Doc in Vietnam was maybe the worst. There were loudspeakers on poles all through town and Commies would start yelling propaganda at you through them from 4:30am onwards. No joke.

Don't agree with KL. I've had some good times there, i'd say Penang is much more boring.

Guess we'd better keep it to reasonably First World cities though otherwise some guy who's been to Mogadishu or somewhere will pipe up and the thread will be over.
