I know Luton still takes some beating with the whole world to choose from but do your worst.

Personally, Freetown in Sierra Leone has to have been fashioned from Satan's anus.

Bad planning on your part that. Mind you I can talk, The Falklands wasn't exactly an Ambre Solaire tour.

Totally agree with Malta its smelly and like a crap version of Blackpool.

Mine would have to be playa de las americas in Tenerife the place is a hole and the only reason I had a good time as went on a Uni field trip for a week costing me about £80. Spent most of the trip getting hammered with girls of my course who were all entering wet t-shirt compertitions.

I dont see what the problem is about me saying I why I went to the place.

You are the only one who has ever said I talk about uni a lot which in my opinion I dont. I dont care at all if I mention it as was 4 of the best years of my life and I am proud to say I was the first person in my family who has ever been.

Either you are taking a large interest in my posts, which is flattering, or you have a chip on your shoulder as you never went

Agra, the home of the Taj Mahal, is as big a shithole as I have ever witnessed.

It's like putting an opulent golden place in the middle of Easington.

Some dodgy market place in Dominican Republic. Like hell on earth, although did see a 5 legged dog. Had 3 front legs, before you ask.

I didnt go for a wet t-shirt comp, I went for a field trip, mutley read what I wrote I also stated I didnt like the place I went for the field trip I only had a good time as there were drunk students there but hated the place.

Malta is interesting when looking at the museum in Valetta and stuff about the war and the church with the unexploded shell in it, but you cannot argue that its a bit of a hole and the buses are a death trap.

I can see the appeal of a country in the Mediteranian sea but if you want a more beautiful contry go to Croatia its stunning.

Ireland
France
Germany
Holland
Switzerland
Croatia
Norway
Greece
Spain

...Once found myself in the middle of the Bronx New York on a damp winters night...only to be accosted by a gang of local hoodies, "where you from whitey?" one of them asked "Hartlepool, England " I replied in my gruffest voice, at that they all turned around and ran off in different directions......very strange place.

A place called Irun in the Basque country. Dark, terrifying at night and they all seemed to be one-eyed amputees.

Stayed for a night, then IRUN away as quickly as I could...

Villiers-sur-Marne, just outside Paris.

Nowhere where you can get breakfast in the morning and the town centre is awful.
