Of course, leaving out places that are in the middle of some sort of military conflict, since that goes without saying and the majority would probably say Iraq or Afghanistan. I'm talking about places that are generally inconvenient to visit, prohibitively expensive, ugly or downright boring - and not just countries; areas within countries too.

I'm thinking Svalbard (http://wikitravel.org/en/Svalbard) (yay coal mines) and the Pitcairn Islands (http://wikitravel.org/en/Pitcairn_Islands) have to be up there, but for some reason, curiousity makes me actually want to visit both of them.

Any other takers? :p

Adelaide.

:D

Adelaide.

:D

Heh; I was born there, and 'till my surviving grandparents moved over here, I had to endure bi-yearly (sometimes more) visits. It's not the most fun of cities.

Adelaide.

:eek: Sacrilidge! I love Adelaide. Why don't you? :p

Well... I come from Dullsville itself, so I suppose I can't really talk about Adelaide :p

Chicago.

Worst.

Lanzarote...Tenerife....pretty much any place that's got ugly hotels and drunk Brits everywhere you turn.

Rhode Island. Not a whole lot here.

Chicago.

I dunno. It can't possibly compare to Svalbard. At least in Chicago I could find a bar somewhere and get drunk in relative comfort. Provided i'm with a group, it could be fun. By contrast, in Svalbard it'd be freezing cold, and all I could do is buy some vodka and stare at walls while I down it, and then toddle off to explore an abandoned coal mine and maybe go hiking across some very boring looking rocks, at risk of being attacked by a hungry polar bear.

Ohio. There's positively nothing here. Sure, there are amusement parks in both Cleveland and Cincinnati, and if you like roller coasters, they're all right, but they're not worth coming out of state for. Go to Busch Gardens or Six Flags or something. There isn't one thing here in Ohio that you can't get somewhere else. That's worth a damn, anyway.

Yeah I hate ohio. It was nearly as long as the drive through tennessee west to east, except Tennessee wasn't so boring.

You really do live up to the cliche of British people moaning about the weather, don't you? Come on, it's not that bad. There was a 'heatwave' in July/August (it was over 30 (Celsius) for a few days). It really doesn't rain all the time.

Anyway. On topic. Serbia. Bulgaria (unless you're on the Black Sea coast). Mongolia (which some friends of mine are trying to convince me to go to next summer - apparently I'd get to live in a yurt for a week and drink yak's milk! Woo!:rolleyes:). Southern Italy (it's really, really, really dull - especially Pompeii). Erm...can't think of any others right now. I imagine Java wouldn't be the best place to go right now...

meh. i think i probably suffer from SAD - i'm generally fine (ish) in the summer but can't help getting depressed about stuff in the winter, and i know the weather (or the weather when it's dark and grey and rainy - ie most of the time in this country) is a causal factor. i'm on meds now but they're not helping today lol.

god i just wish... i could be somewhere else. somewhere sunny and warm. somewhere less stressful. somewhere where just living here is becoming near impossible, where the banks don't fuck you around, where the price of houses is actually affordable, where we don't work the longest hours in europe for not even the highest GDPpc in europe, where work is less stressful and things are somehow simpler.
i think i'll go move to jamaica and go get stoned every day. either that or a) get very drunk here, or b) end things.

The landscapes are quite nice actually (I've got some cool photos taken from trains), but the cities are kinda crappy. Bulgaria's the same, but without the nice countryside.

I prefer the rain and the cold. The sun during June gave me horrible sunburn (I still have it :(). Bring on the drizzle! :D

Illinois is a good place. Southern Illinois to be exact. It has a nice amount of escarpment, forests, lakes, its warmer, usually sunny. Not a whole lot of rain. And there is plenty of alcohol. Property values are lower, meaning houses are cheaper. Its an overall good place to live, me thinks.

I guess war and communism does that to cities?

Are the cities like big slums? Or is there at least some modernization? Or what?

Lanzarote...Tenerife....pretty much any place that's got ugly hotels and drunk Brits everywhere you turn.

Tenerife bites. It's like England, only warmer. I could have gone to England and saved myself eight hours in the air.

I prefer the rain and the cold. The sun during June gave me horrible sunburn (I still have it :(). Bring on the drizzle! :D
Surely someone other than me must prefer it when it's not too hot, not too cold, with some nice sunshine. May and September are the best months of the year - September probably shades it because I like autumn.

Sucks to be you. I have never had a sunburn.

Possibly.

Big slums would be a bit harsh - the centre of a city is generally nice (and quite touristy), but the rest is much worse than you'd find in a western city.

oh i do. May is ok, and September has been qute nice. but 2 'ok' months of the year is a bit shitty. even our summers tend to be only a couple of weeks of sunshine before it goes cloudy again.
i'd much prefer cold and clear skies than cloud. or too hot and sunny than cold and grey and miserable

I went on an Outwards Bounds trip in the summer. I left the sunny, warm south east, with a pub just round the corner, for a desolate hillside in Aberdovey (don't ask where, itll depress you), with no Pub for ten miles, and a large collection of GREY rocks, GREY clouds, GREY cottages, GREY skylines, and exceptionally grey and mundane assistants.

Baghdad?

Ethier that or California.

I hate those places.

Boston.

You took my response! Boston looks like a crappier version of Gotham City, if you can imagine that. You have to walk through a ghetto to get to anywhere remotely worth visiting. Scratch that, through a ghetto under construction. For a city that old, I don't see how it manages to be entirely under construction. Mounds of soil and orange hazard signs all over the damn city.

And what's wrong with Britain? I love it here. Nice and cold, sometimes grey, occasionally rainy (I live in Oxford), beautiful countryside and nice people. Not to mention all of the history and beautiful buildings. Brits complain too much about their own country without any experience of living in another.

I'm gonna have to go with Belfast. Not so much just for the buildings (although they are quite bad) but half the people are just so damm aggressive about things and they look terrible

Any and all of the Canary Islands. What a waste of space.

How can you not love Chicago? It's my 2nd favorite city in Illinois! (first is Galva)

Lesotho is one fucked up place to visit.On the one hand its a beautiful country but with 30 precent of the country dying from hiv/aids its pretty heart breaking.

I'm thinking Svalbard (http://wikitravel.org/en/Svalbard) (yay coal mines) and the Pitcairn Islands (http://wikitravel.org/en/Pitcairn_Islands) have to be up there, but for some reason, curiousity makes me actually want to visit both of them.
Whoa, I had no idea Spitzbergen is actually called Svalbard. Plus, I always thought it was relatively scenic, as far as rocky outcrops in an icy sea go.
And I would go to Pitcairn in a split second. Probably a tad creepy, but come on - how cool would it be? If I had too much money I would totally do some "islands in the middle of absolutely nowhere" trip, including Pitcairn, Easter Island, St.Helena and Ascension... Awesome. :)

Mongolia (which some friends of mine are trying to convince me to go to next summer - apparently I'd get to live in a yurt for a week and drink yak's milk! Woo!:rolleyes:).
Aw, I'm so jealous. Okay, not so much of the yak's milk (actually, it's the constant diet of mutton that will probably keep me away from there), but Mongolia, man! Can I go for you? I could just take lots and lots of energy bars. :p

Yeah, I'm with you on the grey, depressing things. Hence my personal worst holiday destination would have to be something grey and depressing, especially if it's also cold. Most Russian cities would probably qualify.

Oh, and for something completely different: Florida. The only one of the 50 US states I have no desire whatsoever to see. Yes, Floridians, you've just been beaten by Nebraska. :D

I agree, I lived in Florida for the majority of my formative youth and I despise the place with a passion. Hot, humid, annoying old people and Cadillacs and Lincoln Continentals driving 15mph in the slow lane. People there are excessively rude as well. I had a variety of customer service jobs there so I'm quite the expert on how to get by in Florida, but I would strongly recommend against those considering a move to Florida. My British neighbours could tell you horror stories that would make the hair on your neck stand up.

Of course, leaving out places that are in the middle of some sort of military conflict, since that goes without saying and the majority would probably say Iraq or Afghanistan.

Why would it be cool? You're stuck there for several months with nothing to do (and having to work for the right to stay on the island while you're at it) until the next resupply ship comes. Sounds fantastic. :/

My brother-in-law's family (long before I my sister met him) built an ocean going yacht in the back yard (they have a large piece of land). They launched it from Melbourne & sailed around Australia, the South Pacific & all the way to the Caribbean. He was about 10-14 at the time. I reckon that would have been a cool way to grow up. He did get sick of eating fish for a while though & doesn't like whole fish (with the heads on) even now. You'd get pretty sick of being cooped up with your parents for long stretches of time too.

It's not always mutton. They keep goats as well.

I'm thinking Svalbard (http://wikitravel.org/en/Svalbard) (yay coal mines) and the Pitcairn Islands (http://wikitravel.org/en/Pitcairn_Islands) have to be up there, but for some reason, curiousity makes me actually want to visit both of them.

Any other takers? :p

England

Japan

Genova.
Dirty, smelly, high prices, sea and air horribily polluted, and when it rains, streams and rivers burst and flood the city.

I did nothing. :p

I went on an Outwards Bounds trip in the summer. I left the sunny, warm south east, with a pub just round the corner, for a desolate hillside in Aberdovey (don't ask where, itll depress you), with no Pub for ten miles, and a large collection of GREY rocks, GREY clouds, GREY cottages, GREY skylines, and exceptionally grey and mundane assistants.

Gawd is that place STILL there?????:eek:
I'm sure its there because the protestant religion wanted their own version of limbo to send sinners to:headbang:

Btw the previous year I had to endure the worst sort of holiday, one with your parents when you are 15 (by a strange coindience, It was on the other side of the estuary to that bloody outword boinding place.)

Still my last holidays were nothing to talk about

Sept 2004 : New Orleans..... flew in 4 days before Hurricane Ivan was due to hit.... A week in a hotel room doing nothing but watching cheap US cable TV

August 2005 :New Orleans (Booked and paid for just before Katrina formed.... cancelled)

March 2007 : Pyongyang, North Korea: (I'm fully expecting this place to not exist by the time I fly in:D )

El-Supremo Boris

Hmm... Bournemouth seems like a good candidate for worst holiday destination, unless there happens to be a large robot resting on the beach...

... oh, wait, you wanted a serious answer instead of a Hitchiker's Guide reference, didn't you?

In that case, may I nominate redneck east Texas to the list of bad travel destinations? I should know - I lived there for sixteen years and still visit when on forced leave from school.

Unda da sea!
