Poi Pet. Smells really bad and is full of touts and beggar groups. Food is not good and expensive and the casinos are a dump. It's really nothing more than a transit point for farangs on visa runs, and a place for Thais looking for a quick gambling fix but I still had to throw it out there.

Yeah nobody has been to like Mogadishu, so /thread I guess?

That said, if any city in Canada makes your list you probably need to get out more.

You hated LA but loved Victorville, Barstow and Baker? Pretty sure you got that backwards, those are some god awful places.

Total **** hole for sure, but food expensive? does not compute

Ulaanbataar, Mongolia

Beni Mellal in Morocco.

You have to go there to believe how bad it is. Looking back I still reckon some sort of nuclear/chemical experiment had occurred a couple of months before I arrived. Almost everyone had some kind of deformity, the streets were littered with dead animals and every building looked like a prison compound.

I say Johor Bahru.

It's like Kuala Lumpur, but worse.

Gotta +1 this.

Dirty as ****
City Mongrians
Stupid nationalist *******s who look to beat the **** out of you any time a mongolian women passes through your eyesight.

Rome, Italy. Reminded me of 1990's NYC and the food sucked.

Rome isn't great, but at least there's the Coliseum and Vatican and whatnot. Must suck for repeat visits though. I'm sure there's good food to be had at places in Italy but in all the tourist cities it's awful. Some of the worst food in Western Europe.

Don't hate on Gibraltar. The reason your flight was diverted was due to the crosswinds experienced on the approach to the runway due to the placement of the runway in relation to the rock. You will only be able to land if there is a westerly or easterly wind. I've been on countless planes when we've approached the runway (plane moving all over the place, people throwing up / screaming) touched down and then had to shoot back up into the air as there is not enough runway for the plane to land safely.

Fair point with regards to the concrete there are alot of buildings in Gibraltar but with a population of 35,000+, where are you going to house them all.

As for the expats - How did you manage to get yourself to that conclusion? It can't be based on your own knowledge as you obviously don't live here and during your short stay the only people you would have bumped into are tourists?

Gibraltar was one of my favorite places ever. I really cant understand your points. It has an amazing view, decent beaches, nice colonial architecture, some nice pubs and its a duty free area. Also I think it is hard to make a difference between tourists and expats there. Also its the only place where wild monkey live in europe and there are a lot of them which makes it even cooler!

Manila, Vientiane, Kuala Lumpur

I was referring to what SandraXII wrote.

And what don't you understand about what points I made?

Can't believe KL gets so much hate. Maybe not the most exciting place but nothing wrong with that city. Food is amazing too
