Mantas 3 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I'm not intending to start a slagging match but I've been to some real shitholes and they need mentioning too. So don't take it as a personal insult if I don't like your city. 1-Johannesburg 2-Surabaya (Indonesia) 3-London Link to post Share on other sites
hellyer 216 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Cairo - dusty, putrid, rip off merchants everywhere, stodgy food, traffic mayhem, aggressive stallholders, chauvenistic, corrupt tourist police, you will get sick no matter how careful you are,mega crowds at every antiquity,disgusting toilets, filthy overnight trains etc,etc, But, you have to go there - the history is amazing.

stemik 14 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Rostov-on-Don it's a city in Russia, the flight there scared the living daylights out of me, the hotel was an old soviet run place, the food was utterly crap, it was freezing...no wonder all the residents drunk neat vodka!

scouser 4 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Well, it's a well-trod path isn't it. And Wavertree is hardly the most romantic of places. I love Liverpool, even when chunks were crappy and well run down. It's a special and complicated place. If you haven't been in over 10+ years, you would notice huge changes.

thursday 1 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 we are being a bit unfair. Scousers stealing cars in Liverpool means scousers stealing stolen cars multiple times. That is a niche market right at ones doorstep. Link to post Share on other sites

Also lived in Aigburth/Moseley Hill area too. Last went back there in '06 and yes, some regeneration had occured in pockets of the city. But overall, still a hole of a city. Yet still love it though and holds a special place in my heart. And you try being a Southerner in Liverpool for three years. The amount of abuse I got from scousers was phenomenal but stuck it out even as so far as to bravely dye my hair with a Freddie Ljungberg red stripe for the FA cup final and watched the game in the middle of the brookhouse in Wavertree then go out to Queens square with my scouse mates who stuck up for me that night. Still a shit hole mind. And they wear trackies now,not shellsuits. Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Manchester / Birmingham! But was maybe 15 years ago since I was last there so just maybe they are a little better now? Benidorm : or how ever it is spelt (spain) full of tourists, growded, no culture, boring! At least it was when I went many, many moons ago, don't know what it is like now!

scouser 4 Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 I will consider myself told then Rob. Shouldnt take the bait really should I? Never really got Birmingham the few times I went. It felt more than a bit foreign. Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Na you weren't "told" as everyone is entitled to their opinion. I'm from London, born and lived there most of my life before coming to Japan,yet Mantas hates it. That's his/her opinion which welcome to share. And yes. I don't get Birmingham neither. So bad that neither the North or South wanted it so gave it a new name - the midlands. Link to post Share on other sites
