Turkish resorts. They are mostly in places where people were taken in bunches to the sea and thrown off board just a bit more than 100 years ago. And anything Turkish tbh. Oh yes, there is a lot of friendliness of the “oh so your ancestors are from Ispir, mine too, I have friends in Ispir, come visit” kind. It feels mind-bending, because it’s always orthogonal to whether the person saying it thinks that genocide is, you know, not okay.
I would probably want to see the less tourist (less inhabited honestly) parts, where villagers follow you with suspicious looks.
Various despotic monarchies attracting scammers and whores. That is, I’d probably be interested to take a look, but the fact that there are places where you can be jailed arbitrarily technically doesn’t instill confidence.
Israel. Being part Jewish too, I’d kinda feel like complicit in evil. I’ve felt that once, don’t want to repeat yet.
There’s nowhere that I wouldn’t like to see for myself at least once. So I’ll go with somewhere that I’ve been already and wouldn’t miss if I never went again.
Paris. It’s literally just a big dirty city with graffiti and people peeing in alleyways like any other city, plus a few famous landmarks that you only need to see once, in areas where everything costs twice as much. Big whoop.
On a side note: I didn’t encounter the stereotype of rude French people anywhere in France. If you’re friendly, don’t treat waiters and stuff like servants and don’t expect people to fall over their feet for you, I found them to be just like any other human beings anywhere else. Some people are friendly, some people are just doing their jobs and getting through their days.
The closest I came to a ‘rude’ French person was on my way out of the country, going through all the hoops in the airport. This one women at the counter’s face almost seemed to light up when she saw and was so friendly and warm. Until I spoke English and then her face just dropped and she barely looked at me or said a word the rest of the time.
Any theme park. Except Disney. I’d gladly go to a Disney park. After hours. With a tanker of kerosene and a box of matches.
If you do that I’ll fight you till the very end cos I hardcore ❤️ disney
I want to see Japan, but I have almost no interest in Tokyo or Mt. Fuji or anything well known outside of Japan. I want to see small towns and non-touristy places.
Any place where a lot of people are. I don’t want to see them in my holidays. Scottish highlands were nice. And Norway.
Any of the Disneys. Just screams consoomer to me and I risk running into a Disney adult
I’m sorry to tell you I am a disney adult.
That’s disappointing, Ms Cheese, but everyone has their flaws lol
I use to be a huge Disney theme park fan, but the increasing nickle and dining throughout the years has really turned me off. I still deeply appreciate and admire the architecture and artistry of the parks, but I am not a fan of the direction of the company as a whole tbh.
Pisa, it is total tourist trap. Italy has way much better tourist destinations.
It wasn’t so bad when I was there (in the '80s) but yes, Italy has far more important and beautiful cities to visit.
My personal favourite was Florence.
Any and all of them.
Because i don’t like people, and that goes double for crowds of em.
Florida because Florida
Most of them. The more popular, the less I’d want to go.
Don’t know if it’s a holiday destination, but Dubai. Heat and shopping malls are two things I’d pay to get away from.
Same. It just seems like a vulgar temple to money.
Yep that’s somewhere that’s just never interested me. I hate shopping malls and being too hot so paying money to suffer it isn’t me
Same same. I so not want to visit an extremely hot mall where I might also be thrown in jail for being female and existing wrong. Sounds like a bad time even if everything goes fine!
I also hate extreme heat and shopping malls, and have been to Dubai numerous times. The heat and hypercapitalism were horrible, but the city itself was fascinating (to me). The last time I was there it was 52°C. I must say, the novelty wore off on that trip.
Anything in the USA, because that place scares me.
I have to agree here. I decided after a job interview in Houston I wouldn’t go to the USA ever again. This was in the mid-late '90s. It hasn’t improved in that time.
Norwegian fjords. Because I already live here.
I’m so jealous I could cry
While not exactly a holiday destination per-se, having seen pictures of people literally waiting in line to get to the trash pile at the peak of Mt. Everest is such a turn-off that I’d skip it even if I was a true mountaineer.
Dubai, most of the Middle East, China, most of the deep south in the US, and any other states or countries like Singapore with shit like beatings or the death penalty.
If Singapore ever relaxes its use of beatings and executions, I would consider going, as it has beautiful gardens and amazing green infrastructure.
Singapore is alright. Been there a few times.
100% fuck Singapore. Was such a police state shit time
