Places to avoid - Dominican Republic during a hurricane!

river ganges during that festival, no room to swim, plus it pis'ses the locals off, if you urinate in the water

GO TO: Lisbon, great place - nice & chilled like the Med but the people have a bit more of an English outlook on life ie. they're really up for a laugh. Me & my mate were lost in the middle of town there about 5am and had no idea how to get back to out hotel and couldn't find a cab anywhere, so we flagged a car down in the middle of the road to ask directions. This young couple in the car just said "jump in, we'll drop you off" which they duly did :cool:

Imagine you were driving through any British city and 2 p*ssed up goons try to flag you down in the street - you'd lock your doors and floor it!!

DON'T GO TO: Maidenhead. I've never in my life been to a duller town, full of lifeless corporate dummies who are as dull as ditchwater and as arrogant as Liam Gallagher. Hellhole.

..well just to tickle your fancies a flavour of some of the places I've been to, which I would recommend YOU go to :

Mombasa - Kenya: beautiful white sands green and blue sea.. mmmm
Florida - USA: truly is the sunshine state

Hammamet - Tunisia Nice place .. but the men are a bit naughty :oops:

Prague - Czech Republic: most beautiful city in Europe ..

New York - USA: shoppers and theatre goers paradise
Toronto - Canada: nice country (ay Mountie) Niagra Falls.. awesome :upside:

Paris - France: history and much more.. but expensive .. :oh:

i was born in maidenhead!! :angry:

i just got back from another few days in NYC (sadly without a PSP) and there really is nowhere like it. the others at the top of my list would be...

anywhere in mexico - the people, the colour, the food, the everything
barcelona's not half bad y'know

tokyo - seeing is believing.

i don't know but i'm gonna be right there in about 4 weeks.

you'd recommend it then? hows the beach?

by **zarababe** » Wed Apr 20, 2005 6:58 pm

.. beach is beautiful.. but the Atlantic Ocean is cold.. and the sea is a bit yellow.. stingrays swim not far from the shallow end. not dangerous though..

... for me the best ocean and beach combination, so-far, has been in Mombasa.. awesome..

.. You'll lurve it though.. are ya goin to orlando too ?

Orlando is brilliant, was there for 10 days in 1999 and loved it.

Vegas is also great.

hi Woolyback, your comments about Maidenhead reminded me of a book i ahve called "****** towns". Superb read and lists the Top 50 Crappest towns in England ..... heres a selection for you and the comments .....

50. Chester - Chester is classed as a city because it has a cathedral, however its the size of a small chapel and has turned a lovely shade of black due to the amount of filth that comes out of the mouths of the locals !

Local hobbies include shoplifting, smack taking alfresco, beating up tramps and being set upon by the local girls for NOT looking at them !

38. Mansfield - the largest town in England with no railway station on account of no one wanting to go there, Mansfield FC resembles a ground from 25 years ago and the local culture comprises of Bingo and hanging around the Bus Station.

32. Croydon - I went for an interview in Croydon and after it was over I asked the lady what it was like working in Croydon ? She replied "its not bad but we have had 2 sexual assaults and a shooting in outr carpark this year". it was stil January !!
