What's the worst place you've ever visited? (1 Viewer)

The worst of France is it's crusty wastrels hanging around on the streets with their dogs and their dreadlocks, drinking, sneering and occasionally juggling. It's as bad it gets in this world.

Tourist advice sites telling you to dress like the locals and not to look at maps in public don't exactly inspire confidence.

I walked around with a camera, a rob me badge (I was attending a conference) and a farmer's tan. No hassle in any part of town.

Mallow is the only place in the world where Ive ever felt like I was really going to get my head kicked in. I've been punched a couple of times in belfast, but at least they were out of the blue.

Manchester/Nottingham/Cardiff, I just dont like the vibe in UK towns at night. My mate even got abuse walking down a road in Woking.

Them Brits, you couldnt be up to em.

national chauvinism would trump that for me. and yeah that sounds like galway.

most midland (ie non coastal) towns in ireland are cesspits of menace.

Dundalk is on the coast and it is a bigger kip than most.

The last time I was in Athlone town it was depressing.

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

I went to Dundalk last weekend for the first time in my life, it was nicer than I expected, it was like how I imagine the 70s were. I was only there about an hour though. Way nicer than Drogheda anyway, now there is a kip.

 

[Lili Marlene]

There is no worse place than Drogheda. NONE.

No, it's not like the Galway thing

Worst place I've ever visited is Angola State Penitentiary in Louisiana

And I'm never going back! You hear me?? Never!

Truth is: Angola, Louisiana, you're the one.

I had to work in Cavan town in the late 90s for a while.

Not an awful place, just devoid of any reason to live.

Friend of mine was a doctor there for a while last year, said pretty much the same. Absolutely nothing there. Netflix every evening monday-thursday then back to Dublin at the weekend.

Well, they were building a cinema when I was there.

I asked people where they went to the cinema (which is a big deal for me) and they said Enniskillen.
That kind of broke my heart a little bit. A whole other country like.
The bars had all been done up in the 70s with much enthusiasm, but nothing had been done since.
It was like being in a graveyard of hopes.

a graveyard of hopes!!

a graveyard of hopes

Best way I can put it.

Told some women in the park I'd picked Paris over Barcelona and they were all "Oh Paris is an awful place! It's full of junkies, we all had to link arms everywhere we went, we were that terrified".
