Least favourite city that you have been to (excluding Newcastle)

[FFC Mariner]

To complete the set, how about the biggest arsehole of a city you have ever visited.

(Lets try to not fill the thread with the word Newcastle).

I'll start with.......................

Canberra. Easily the most soul less, dump of a shithole ever. I dread going there and cant wait till I leave it.

Honourable mention. Calais.

 

[Redline]

Sydney.

I hate it.

 

[serious14]

London.  Far too expensive, overcrowded, blah blah etc.  Couldn't wait to leave.

Pre-Olympics Beijing.  During and post olympics Beijing was a most pleasant surprise.

Gotta agree with Canberra.  Could not think of a more boring place (in all respects).

Anyone been to Greymouth, NZ??? Holy f**k! That place is straight out of a Stephen King novel.

 

[Gav...]

Sydney.

I hate it.

I must agree Sydney

i hate the place it just gives me the shits

haha yeah I stayed overnight there when I went. It was a funny little place.

 

[marconigirl]

I would have to say Paris...
Loved the scenery, but the people there were shockers..

 

[Kareem]

damn no newcastle
i think its a toss up between sydney and canberra
just because sydney seems so bad compared to melbourne
but at least it can be exciting
i agree with posts about how boring canberra is
lol the only half decent thing for me was the trip to questicon as a kld

 

[soundsdifferent]

Can i say awaba Or does that not count as a city or does it count as newcastle?

 

[Pokes]

Bangkok. Wasn't a fan.
Tamworth. Big dusty hole and bad music.
Canberra. Too many roundabouts. Not enough....anything else.
Killarney Vale....nuff said

+1 for Canberra.

Also agree with London to a certain a extent. You can also add that people in the service industry are so rude to anyone with an Australian accent. Their rudeness and shit service exceeded anything I experienced in France by miles.

To me Venice was a major disappointment. Maybe I had huge expectations but I found it dirty, smelly, impersonal, 100% tourist driven and therefore a 100% tourist rip off on every corner.

 

[bulldogmariner]

Venice and agree with everything Mick says about the place.

 

[loyalist]

gila bend, arizona

 

[skilbeck]

Wollongong, Auckland, Goulburn

 

[Sym]

Killarney Vale....nuff said

I think this was meant to be in the favourite city thread.

 

[clarence]

Ok so we can't say Newcastle so how about Wollongong? Get lost every time I go to that place and get lost trying to get out. Only decent thing to that area is the Stanwell Park - Thirroul area beach line.

 

[marinersman]

Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad or anywhere in Pakistan for that matter.

I also hated Riyadh and Qassim in Saudi.

 

[dibo]

granada - with the exception of the alhambra and sierra nevada and the world's best kebab shop (take a kebab, add olives and a fried egg - something magic i swear), the place was grimy, crowded, covered in dog shit and full of cigarette smoke.

not a great fan of brussels or munich either.

i quite like canberra, but then i would, wouldn't i? getting $190 a night travel allowance for the weeks down there didn't hurt...

 

[~Floss~]

Canberra ... yawn.

 

[Mariner Girl]

Livershite - depressing hole of a place.
