Again what you see on the box is not what a lot of places are like in real life . Vegas well not my place even thou I have been 3 times and again this summer . Qatar never been I Dubai once is more than enough but I can see what certain people are drawn to it when you can talk about how much money you earn . Bangkok the place has a soul don't rate the city as Patpong or Kao San Rd there is so much more to the city and it's people . India , hummmmmmmmmmmm I have spent 13 or 14 month in India on 4 different trips and only just scraped the surface really . 1/6th of the world live in that country alone it has everything from deserts, mountains, Plains you name it 31 different lauguages and English is the only one that ties it all together . In India the whole life pans out in front of your very eyes , it's a bit like a play where you take part in it every day . It's just impossible to describe how India hits you again you have to go there and no matter how many books you will ever read nothing can prepare you to what is India .

I understand not wanting to go to some of the middle eastern countries, if only because you wouldn't want to be seen to condone appalling human rights abuses and modern slavery.
But not wanting to visit any part of vast and diverse parts of the world like "Africa" or "India" or "Brazil" is frankly astonishing. Those are huge areas, completely different from one place to the other: safari in the Gambia, the deserts of the Namib and the Sahara, the rainforests of equatorial Africa, the wildlife of the Great Rift Valley, the ecological diversity of Madagascar, the history of Egypt and Morocco: and that's just Africa. India is equally diverse: from the beaches of Goa, the mountains of the Himalayas, history and culture with the likes of the Taj Mahal and the golden temple of Amritsar.... Brazil is bigger than Europe, if you leave out Russia. I can understand some things (Vegas, Dubai etc), mostly cities or small countries, but not writing off massive, incredibly diverse parts of the world. |

Never been to Niagra Falls, but I have a very strong belief that it would be exactly as I think it would be, a massive waterfall. As for the Leaning Tower, 2 mins is all you need to get that pic of you pretending to hold up the Tower from a distance.

Yeah the illusion of keeping the tower up. Bit like Paul Clement appearing like he is keeping Seansea up. |

No culture and Australians are arseholes. I have never met one who is sound. Even Aussie women act like lads. Can I just add my disdain for South Africans as well. Another shower of coonts. Edited by Trap junior - 14 Feb 2017 at 4:55pm |

Just because you don't like the culture doesn't mean it isn't there.
People complain about the USA not having a culture, but of course they do: baseball, gridiron, tailgating, New Orleans creole cuisine & mardi gras, the lifestyle of New York, the BBQ cuisine of the southwest, Miami nightlife, the Beach Boys and southern California, mountain sports in the Rockies, not to mention Hollywood, etc etc etc. You might not like it, but of course it has culture. And the same applies to Australia: in parts of the country, cricket is a way of life, in other parts, it's Aussie rules, BBQing shrimp, surfing, cattle ranching in the outback, or Christmas day on the beach. It's different, not just derivative, and it is culture. If you don't like it, maybe explain what it is you don't like; you can't just dismiss the entire place for not having culture when it undoubtedly has. |

Personally it is because it is a racist state and it isn't changing too quickly. The fact I have never met an Australian I didn't want to strangle doesn't helped, I don't believe the two are mutually exclusive issues though. Add in everybody from Ireland you would never want to see again and Koala bears and the Outback are not as tempting.
