    Egypt - Visited pyramids at Giza. Saw mostly 'abandoned' buildings on the way (no windows/doors) until I realized people were living there.
    And when we got off our tour bus at the pyramids, we were met by hoardes of aggressive beggars trying to sell us plastic trinkets....they'd stand in front of you and try block you from walking and grab your hand and place 'a gift' (plastic pyramid) in it saying it's free, then ask for a gift in return. They'd get angry if you refused and there were so many, it was very intimidating.
    Also, our bus had a police escort, and an armed guard on it who had an uzi machine gun hidden under his suit jacket....and the town of Giza had army trucks and soldiers with guns standing there...VERY scary.
    I know a couple who honeymooned there also, and because the wife was blonde they were constantly followed by large groups of men offering money to sleep with her. Local men had zero tact, zero respect for distance. The husband was getting really angry but couldn't do much because he was heavily outnumbered. It's very backwards there.

      It's so sad because I always had a fascination with Egypt as a child and always dreamed of seeing the pyramids and all the other famous places there. But I hear stories about women being routinely sexually assaulted at these sites by the camel guys, relentlessly harassed at the markets and some straight up kidnapped. I feel terrible for saying it, but as a solo female traveller, it's one of many countries I would avoid visiting because, unfortunately, Muslim countries don't have the best reputation for not harassing female tourists. I've heard stories about Turkey as well, though not as bad.

      @@myself-cs5fr To be honest I think this is up to you going in expecting the wrong thing. You have to have street smarts in Egypt or you'll get scammed. They're pretty brazen about it. As long as you understand how it works Egypt is a wonderful place to be. I've dived with tiger sharks in the red sea, driven motobikes in the Sahara and visited "nomadic tribes" or at least imitations of how they used to be. Along with that I've been to Giza and Hurghada for a more tourist friendly experience. If you take a taxi in Egypt there's more than 50% chance they'll try to scam you. They're not sorry, just let them know it's not working.
      About visiting the pyramids. Go with a group and a guide. It doesn't matter what kinda guide as long as they're recommended. Our guide told the peddlers and scammers to try other people since we had been informed. There's no reason for them to try if they know it won't work.

    Not the entire Dominican Republic but I would not go back to punta Cana. Me being used to people trying to sell you things everywhere you go was fine. But the people I went with had no idea how to deal with them.
    They kept stopping and really thinking people were their friends then they’d get sucked into buying crap they didn’t need.
    Then 3 days before we went back they were all broke and needed help with basic needs. It sucked.
    Also my room got broken into the last day and 300 dollars was taken. A bag was taken as well.
    They checked the maid carts when I informed them and boom. My bag and the 300 sitting in the maid cart for our building.

      I could see guns in their belts under their shirts and his two men were snarling at me and shouting expletives in Spanish. You had to have a wristband to get past security and to order drinks as they didn’t have a cash register. The bar tender was visibly scared of them, I only managed to slip out because a group of Colombian guests joined our section of the bar.

    Mexico, specifically Cancun. Got married there and on my wedding day the venue called a taxi for me and my wife, we were told on the phone and when we got in the taxi that the (short) trip would cost 400 pesos, got to the end, handed the driver 400 pesos and were told it was 800 pesos. We guessed that the driver thought we were rich because I was white and we were speaking in English. I told him to pound sand in Spanish and he started aggressively flipping through price lists before showing me 800 pesos on one list (he neglected to remove the "precio gringo" tape) and started saying that if I didn't pay he would call the police. I told him that if he didn't leave immediately I would call the police and play them the recording of the 400 peso quote we received from the taxi company. He then shoved a gun in my face.
    And that is how my wife found out how effective NZ military training is.

    I agree on the Singapore one. I visited on vacation in 2012 with my then BF now husband and maybe it has improved but we went to a pub and saw a local woman slapped and punched by some man she was with(she just cried a bit and continued sitting there). Everybody(in a full pub) just pretended it didn't happen and when I asked my BF if we should report it to a manager or call the cops, he just say leave it alone. I insisted on leaving after finishing the drinks we had. It tainted the country for me and it was frightening. I hope its better now but I won't ever go back...I see all their PRs online about how its amazing but that undercurrent of violence is still there for me.

    The place is OKish - some nice architecture, cold weather, bad food, nothing unforgivable.
    However every time I went there, I was the only person questioned out of the entire plane, because I am Bulgarian and I was flying from Spain. I've lived in Spain most of my life, but didn't get the citizenship because I didn't feel it was needed (no duel citizenship allowed within the EU). To be questioned as if you are a criminal every time you arrive in a country, just because of where you were born, it gets really really tiring fast.

And even in big cities, there are patches without internet especially in nature-y areas. Where I lived in the Bay Area lacked internet despite being a residential area

    I would like to point out that Japan has one of the worst policies when it comes to foreigners that you can imagine. For example, the number of non-Japanese people who are allowed to live in certain areas is limited. Even if there is still capacity, you cannot buy them. You have to find a reputable Japanese person or a reputable company that will work for you. These places are really expensive and very limited, which of course means that they are not allowed and are wasted on the unemployed. This means that if you lose your job, with a bit of luck you have 60 days to find a new job or you can be deported.

During this time, absolutely no one has approved new funding for the reconstruction of the museum or replaced the people who died in the course of this political reorganization or even provided a budget to continue to finance Beren positions. The Tutankhamun exhibition looks so good because the British are continuing to finance it and in return they should get the artefacts back at a later date, which will now be on Judgement Day.

    One could assume they meant the country United States of America. Even then, which state(s) did they visit? What many people outside North America tend to not realize is how vast the country is. There are 50 states. Most states are about the size of an average European country, and each has their own multiple sets of cultures that make the states seem like separate countries. Even if you dipped your toes in a few states, basing an opinion on the country as a whole is hardly fair or realistic.

I wouldn’t go back to Turkey or Greece. Turkey it’s impossible to walk with out children following you begging for money. If you want to see antiquities it’s great but you have to check currency exchange every day. It’s not worth the stress. Greece I just want to say if there any lovers of Greek culture and antiques it’s all a tourist trap. Nothing you buy was made in Greece everything was made in China so getting souvenirs was useless. The government didn’t do a good job protecting the sites so it’s damaged or gone. However as disappointing as these things were I am glad I experienced it. I would encourage everyone to travel outside of their home country just once. It really helps you to appreciate home and you become more honest about what needs to be changed or protected.

Combining the ultra high humidity as the ground is rapidly evaporating all that mud and a clogged radiator from the mud and you’ll know what a sauna is like when the door won’t open.
