thanks a lot Austin....well....let's just say living there was THE reason why I am on ERA and asking question after question about cities, culture, and just about everything else pertaining to cities, is because of Austin. Yes, the whole REASON why I even post thread after thread about culture, cities...
Sorry for the bad experience, there are indeed a lot of assholes ruining the experience for tourists, especially from other countries. Lots of restaurants and bar are run by fucking thieves.Rome. Because while gorgeous some of the locals acted like such complete assholes compared to other big and small cities i just don't think the unique locations is worth dealing with it again.
Indeed, it is London for me as well. Shithole is an apt description. Smelled like piss, roving bands of fucking lunatics setting garbage cans on fire, it was fucking embarrassing really.
The World Cup was being played in 2006When on earth did you go in London?
Might be New Delhi for me.
No worries. The rest of Italy we found nothing but pleasant people. One particular small town we won't forget the guy running the gelatto shop was so thrilled to see tourists he closed shop and gave us a tour of the town hahaha. So the experience in the country was still pleasant as a wholeSorry for the bad experience, there are indeed a lot of assholes ruining the experience for tourists, especially from other countries. Lots of restaurants and bar are run by fucking thieves.
I agree with this.Amsterdam. Way too flippin crowded with the limited space it has. And this is coming from someone who lives in The Netherlands themselves. I have been to bigger capitals (Dublin, Stockholm) which are also busy, but in those capitals the streets/pavements are also at least twice as wide as in Amsterdam so it doesn't feel as crowded.
Do they want to be there themselves?And all people complaining about Paris, Parisians secretly and dare I say openly don't want you there either
Do they want to be there themselves?
I'm always astonished how many Parisians choose to come to Vienna for New Years.
"Never" is a strong word and our lives are often fairly long. Maybe at some point you'll be able to visit Austin again without any of the toxic baggage?
Blackpool is a place I never want to visit again. It went beyond "not enjoying it" for me; it was like a waking existential horror nightmare the entire time I was there, like the UK's own version of Silent Hill.
Didn't even want to go there in the first place, but had a 2 hour train exchange in Pisa, and that place was a shithole with way too big of a river only famous cuz somebody done fucked up.
