3 Cities You Never Want To Visit
the Sochi news has sparked a debate at the office... what are 3 cities you never want to visit?
Mine were: Detroit Beirut Dhaka maybe not in that order. in the interest of completeness, others in the office mentioned were Calcutta, Newark, Damascus, Mogadishu, Sochi, and Cairo. |
Re: 3 Cities You Never Want To Visit
Why not Kolkata? I've been and felt completely safe.

Re: 3 Cities You Never Want To Visit
in the US:
Detroit (been 2x, got robbed 1x) St Louis (been 2x, got robbed 1x) Baltimore (only driven through, hope to never actually stop there) outside the US: pick three cities in the middle east. i'm way too white to be safe over there. also, Mexico City. my dad went a bunch on business and told me it was scarier than Vietnam because he didn't have his gun. |
Re: 3 Cities You Never Want To Visit
Juarez
Pyongyang Damascus |
Re: 3 Cities You Never Want To Visit

Colombus, OH - Really?
I'd think, if there was a city in OH you didn't want to go to, it'd be Youngstown. :lol |
Re: 3 Cities You Never Want To Visit
:lol what the hell is so bad about Columbus?

Re: 3 Cities You Never Want To Visit
Chicago? Chicago is nowhere near as dangerous as the media portrays it. Chicago has about 3 really bad neighborhoods that are nowhere near any sort of tourist attraction. Chicago is a relatively safe city all the bad stuff just happens in certain locations that you would never go to.
St Louis.....sucks. Gary, Indiana.....disgusting. Detroit.....awful. Doesn't get much worse than those 3. |
Re: 3 Cities You Never Want To Visit
There aren't a ton of cities outside of the US I'd really want to visit. I've never understood why any American would want to travel into a region of the world where we're generally hated. Except France of course but those guys are pussies.

Re: 3 Cities You Never Want To Visit
Can't really think of any US cities I've been in that I would dread going back to, but I've heard nothing but bad stuff about Detroit. Not many cities in Mexico/outside of the US I would visit either.
Baltimore wasn't too great the more I think about it. Probably don't have much desire to go back there again. |
Re: 3 Cities You Never Want To Visit
Honestly, what would you do in Detroit, tourist-wise? Maybe visit the Ford plant? I honestly do not know.

Pyongyang looks miserable, but for an American Tourist it is not dangerous AT ALL. You would actually be treated real well as they try to slant all their "flourishing nation" crapola propaganda at you.

Re: 3 Cities You Never Want To Visit
I'm sorry but how does everyone think Mexico City is scarier than Tiajuana or Acapulco?
|
Re: 3 Cities You Never Want To Visit
In a lot of countries it's the US government that people don't like not so much the US people. Obviously that's dependent upon where you go. There is a huge disconnect between governments and the people they represent all over the world.

Re: 3 Cities You Never Want To Visit
realistically, just list off the 10,000 most populated cities in the Middle East and central Africa.

Re: 3 Cities You Never Want To Visit
I'd rather be wearing an American Flag T-shirt blasting Foreigner through a boombox in Pyongyang than ever set foot in St Louis ever again.

Re: 3 Cities You Never Want To Visit
Also, I've been to Detroit a few times. It's actually pretty damn awesome so long as you stay in Windsor, Canada. It's poor as heck but there is plenty of good times to be had.

I've been to all of Central America sans Honduras and Belize and Venezuela and Columbia and never once felt unsafe. In fact some of the nicest most gracious ppl I have EVER met where in towns in interior El Salvador. Its really unfortunate that some outdated news coverage can ruins a whole countries reputation. Panama City is one of the safest cities in the world now. |

Re: 3 Cities You Never Want To Visit
Belize is very safe, I have been a few times and never worried. Likely helps that they are technically an English protectorate. I loved Honduras as well, Isle De Roaton is absolutely beautiful if you want to venture to that small island.
I agree central America has come a long way but I still habitually look over my shoulder quite often. Something about 'police' officers walking around in shorts, camo shirts and flip flops while toting AK-47's worries me. :) |

Re: 3 Cities You Never Want To Visit
Ok, I mean I know St. Louis is lame as shit an all, but I highly doubt it is worth of 'Top 3 places you would never want to visit'
Grew up 90 minutes from STL and have probably spend hundreds of days there.... at least you can stay busy with good food and beer. Sure Cardinals fans are some of the dumbest on the planet, the Rams suck, and everything else about the city sucks. But when you grow up in the middle of Illinois that's where you go to see your shows, and boy have I seen some amazing shows at the Pageant. Hell the Pageant alone is enough to keep STL off this list. |

Re: 3 Cities You Never Want To Visit
OK - I did have one issue in Quebec city when some fucking jerk cashier wouldn't ring up my coffee because I was American and spoke extremely limited french. I KNOW the bastard spoke english so he was just being a dick so after he rang up 4 people who came in after me I dumped the whole cup on his counter and told him exactly what I thought of him and his lack of manners. Then he miraculously learned english and threatened to call the police on me - to which I gave him another rude 4 letter reply.

what is wrong with chicago??!?! how could that be on anyones list? ive been there probably 30 times now and have barely even seen the dreaded 'south side' everyone is so afraid of. the crime in that city is overwhelmingly isolated to about a 10 square mile radius |

Outside Wrigley Field there is not much I would want to see in chicago plus I hate deep dish pizza. :lol

As for pizza, real pizza is thin crust, slightly burned without too much sauce or grease. |

Re: 3 Cities You Never Want To Visit
Chicago is an amazing place to visit, especially in the Summer. The places that are dangerous are so far away from the heart of the city that you would need to seek them out, unlike a place like NOLA where you could literally walk into the ghetto from Bourbon and get stabbed.
