One of the strange things I saw with Dubai is that the civil-site design is just horrible at the edges of developments. You can tell that the emirate could spend money to make buildings, but the buildings don't form a city.

So like Vegas, but with less booze and weed?

The one thing I liked was going over the creek for a few dirhams and strolling through the historical souk.

I know it's unrelated to the thread, but I'd personally never go to a country that doesn't treat, women, gays, apostates etc as equals, I think these countries are absolutely terrible and I'm not fooled by them having "show cities" where they pretend that they're not that way.

A country that still has a medieval mindset in the third millennium is not getting a penny from me.

Big deal, they have a tower just like this in Vegas.

Now that they're basically banning cars, it might be worth a visit again

I think Paris is a great city that I really enjoy visiting every time I go there, but you're perfectly right that it's incredibly overrated, anything with that reputation really must be, nothing that exists in reality could possibly come even close to such a myth.

Wtf? How?? (and I'm not French)

Soooo dirty

Thems fighting words, where else can I spend my centerlink on a bintang singlet?!

I feel like you need to be in a certain mindset to enjoy a theme park like Disney World. If you aren't in that mindset, the place is a saccharine place of over-stimulation.

Disagreed. I loved Venice. Was crowded but was very pretty and interesting, and had great food. You don't need to go to the expensive tourist places for good food. As always, see where locals eat.

It might be expensive, but still worth a short visit. I've got a shockingly bad memory, but I'll never forget the awe I felt waking up to a view of the Alps.

I'm from Canada, only been to Minneapolis once but absolutely loved the city. Would certainly consider moving there, but it being smack dab in the middle of buttfuck nowhere is so sad.

Good food man. One of the best designed cities in the U.S. imo.

Sparse, but underrated.

People hog the left lane and don't respect flashing to pass. Fuck is up with that? Some of the most inconsiderate, yet slow drivers in America.

International travel for people who hate international travel

No, Ohio is appropriately rated, which is why it is no one’s vacation destination.

Egypt is great for diving. The nature on the Sinai peninsula is at least interesting, if not gorgeous in places. Political instability and the general culture do mean that you can have a bad time there, especially as a woman.

Went 2 weeks there:

• First week was only about diving and was probably the most beautiful thing I will ever see in my life.

• Second week was about visiting the monuments and while they are astonishing cultural and historical bangers (except the pyramids which are impressive from the outside but just some dull stones in the inside) people living there (even those running restaurants or hotels) are invasive as fuck and not worthile your time...

However we also rentend an airbnb for 2 days and even if the room was clean it looked a bit gloomy but the guy was very nice and friendly we even ate a pizza with him and watched a local TV movie (some sharknado rip from their country XD). It was a way better experience than In a stared hotel with all commodities...

In general, going the tourist way is mostly a bad experience in every country.
