    What a SHAME about Turkey! My wife and I went there in 2001 about 4 months before 9/11. It was NOTHING as described. The pace was slow, and the people were wonderfully friendly. My wife took a serious fall out on the street, and no less than 40 people came running from the street, restaurants, and shops to help us. They gave us water and bandages and got a wheelchair for my wife (I have no idea where THAT came from). We spoke of this experience for years. Also, NEVER felt unsafe even off the beaten track. I know 25 years is a long time, but what a shame.

      I had a very similar experience and would never go back as a result. This was 2009. The men were towards me like wild animals that had never seen a woman and I felt really unsafe. My dad wouldn’t even let me stand outside a shop by myself while they went in. A restaurant owner told me to wear a wedding ring as that would reduce the attending by “25%”. I wore all black loose clothing and still has someone constantly following me. Both Istanbul and Analya. A lot of them thought I looked Turkish too so it wasn’t because I looked different. I don’t know how local women cope with such behaviour there

    Ruthlessly profit oriented corporations seeking to exploit bottom-of-the-barrel labor for pennies don't choose decent and well-developed countries to put their call centers in, and the amount of scam call centers indicate a level of financial desperation and lack of moral scruples that runs deep.

    I grew up in Saudi Arabia for 15 years from childhood till high school (1997-2010) And kept returning once a year, for an exit re entry because my father kept working there. Finally exited in 2018. Never going back there as I’m too traumatised. It was made worse by the school bullies, both students and teachers were assholes. The religious police there were a horror.

The laws keep changing everytime a new king comes to power. I lived there during the reign of King Fahd and King Abdullah. You visited there for 2 weeks during the reign of King Salman, who has a progressive mindset, hence the recent movie theaters and laws allowing women to drive. The laws were much more severe for expats in the past. Especially if you are a non Muslim.

She might've been lying, but I want to give her the benefit of the doubt - French-Canadians often have an easier time understanding Paris French than the other way around. Apart from her though, they honestly all seemed neutral-to-positive about my accent. Really seems like luck of the draw.

    Holy shit Pecos Texas! I have actually stayed there for a night and yes, absolutely the worst town I have ever stayed the night in. It surprised me to hear it. Stopped there for a night on the way to New Mexico in a motel, can't remember the name. I do distinctly remember finding a hole in the wall hidden behind the nightstand (probably used as a drop for drugs if I had to guess) and the motel was over top of a fucking night club or something. The music was so loud it made it hard to sleep. Relatively minor grievance, but the Walmart there has a much lower ceiling than your typical one and the lanes are narrower, making the whole place feel eerie and cramped. Absolutely would never stop there again even for just a night.

    Okay I am NOT going to India after this, also my mum said that when she went she felt like everyone was just a little sketchy and trying to invite you into their homes for dinner.

      I'm not sure about what kind of people were trying to invite your mom to their house for dinner but I can assure you it's a sign of hospitality for us to invite people to our homes for dinner!!
