Singapore has good nightlife and good food, which is a lot more than you can say about some of the other cities in this thread. The casino only charges $100 for Singaporeans and permanent residents. Tourists don't have to pay anything. Alcohol costs do suck though.

Miami Beach.
Every restaurant has the same lame menu with overpriced boring food and the service is terrible and they always try to scam you with some 2 for 1 cocktail deal. Girls are spoiled and arrogant. Guys have an unhealthy dose of gangsta-attitude.

Noone would ever go there as a tourist anyway tho. And actually, I had quite a good time there regardless
Why did you go there? I had thought the east was basically off limits for non-official or NGO visitors.

This is probably one of the worst in the world though. Way worse than the parts of Africa I've been to. There's always Mogadishu, and some Congolese cities like Goma, but Chad outside N'Djamena has gotta be right up there.

Travelled 34 countries.
  • Sanya, China. The "Hawaii" of China. They've raped the nature totally there. Arrogant chinese and russian tourists. Prices too high, it's China FFS.
  • San Jose, CR. There's just so much awesomeness around but that city is a [censored].
  • Turin/Torino. I was there during the Olympics and even that could make the city suck any less.

Los Angeles for a real city.

Apparently they have built a casino, but I highly doubt anyone there knows how to enjoy themselves, so its probably quite lame.

If you like fun do not go there.

Heres an example of how ridiculous this place is, (police state...COUGH)

How to Enter and Exit the Casino Properly: ($100 entry fee BTW!)

•Please enter and exit the casino according to your residency classification, “Singaporean / PR” or “Foreigner”.
•Once you have paid the Entry Levy, enter the casino through the “Singaporean / PR” lanes. Scan your NRIC card, driver’s license, SAF identification card or Re-Entry Permit and proceed immediately into the casino.
•Those who are not qualified as Singaporeans or Permanent Residents are considered Foreigners and must enter and exit through the lanes marked “Foreigner”. If asked, please provide ID consisting of a foreign passport with a short term immigration pass, long term visitor pass with a photo ID or with a foreign passport, student pass with a photo ID or with a foreign passport or a work pass, an identification card issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to diplomats and professional staff in international organizations, a work pass with a photo or a special pass with a photo issued by the Ministry of Manpower or Immigration and Checkpoints Authority. (those carrying work passes that do not feature a photograph, must also present their foreign passport)

The law keeps the place in line, fines for chewing gum is a winner lol. Strange how a place like the 'four floors of whores' exists in this city. The airport terminal has to be the cleanest most relaxing place in the world to be stuck in transit. Think if i was stuck in transit in a place like Cebu terminal one i might have killed myself after the first hour

London and pretty much all of the UK cities. London is so crey, dark, dirty place. 20ish y old teens drunk from a few beers looking for troubles all the time. Underground soooo f....in dirty at night or lets say after 8 pm. A lot of Pakistan, India ... etc guys swimming across the English Channel on a truck tire ..... pfff I hate it.

Subway in London broke almost every day. Once a line was missing all the weekend. As it stuck in the tunnel, the option is to look with suspicious black type with wide jeans, and yellow necklace tattoo on the neck as if it had just participated in 50cents clip or listen the new album by DJ Ira al Gnanamurugen, resonant of headphones turban 3 rows further back. And while some solved the waiting problem by Sudoku-free Metro newspaper, I thought that subway problem can be solved by engineers assemble all in one place and put back in Boykonur.

On alighting from the coach, sweet female voice warns me about the gap between train and platform, after an architect from Sri Lanka was incorrectly measured the width of the tunnel. So the voice is at almost every stop. Even now as I walk into the bedroom I still repeating to check the gap between the room and hallway.


btw I m not a racist, but still I dont feel that i am in London, when there are not english

N'Djamena was quite different and a very decent place considering standards of the country. One episode from that city though that I'll remember was when driving on a secondary road at night, near a village somehow. It is pitch black as always in this part of the world at night time, only guided by the headlights of our car. We see a group of men, around 12 if I were to guess, standing in a circle on the side of the dirt road. Slowing down, I see a man laying face down in the middle of the crowd with no signal of life. They are all standing there, doing nothing but lightly "kick" him to see if he's alive. They are just staring at him like they don't really care, nor know what to do. Being a medic, I immediately want to jump off our vehicle to help, being furious with the lack of education and desire to help. Yet with several nurses and 1 or 2 docs in our car, we could do nothing due to orders and rules of engagement. We silently kept driving and everyone was pretending it never happened and that it was fairly standard given the situation. Which it was.

I lived in Chad for 6 months working with the UN for peace keeping purposes. We were running a hospital there, by far the best equipment/standards in the country which doesn't say a lot. It was supposed to of course be free, accepting badly wounded soldiers as well as locals. When it came to seriously ill local citizens, they needed to be referred to us from the doctor of the area. However, anyone who understands what corruption does to a country would understand that only the richest would be accepted.

The heat there was crazy, I still remember doing physical work in what was measured as 52C/125F degrees. Water+salt was a constant need

lots of city mongorrians
I would like to ammend this as prostitutes in this city cost 40 RMB for chinese girls and 75 RMB for mongolian girls. Thats about $6.15 and $11 USD respectivley.

So its low on my list of cities, but depending on why you are going to this destination you might have a good time.

Sengiggi in Lombok, Indonesia can be pretty crap as well.

The town itself is very nice. All of the accommodation is two minutes from a very nice beach and there's lots of good snorkelling and diving there. However, the number of aggressive touts is rediculous. By my third day there I was crossing the street to avoid certain shops. That didn't work as they just yell cross the street to you so I started listening to Machine Head at ear bleeding volume as it was the only way that I could drown them out.

Ho Chi Minh City.
Boring, not much to see, terrible traffic, expensive compared to the rest of Vietnam, nasty buildings.

Athens
Crap transport, hot and crowded. Not much to see.

I thought Milan was pretty rubbish too.
