Bristol UK fucking sucks and has more trannies per capita walking around than I've seen anywhere except San Francisco and Thailand.

Atlanta. But that shouldn't really surprise people here.
Didn't meet a single white wage worker of any kind the whole time I was there. Not one. Saw tons of white people in expensive clothes scurry into the elevators of big buildings and that was it. Everything felt sketchy, dirty and slow as all fuck. The food was amazing, however.

>>2811179
bristol tn/va sucks too

>>2811212
best food you found?

Berlin. I fully realize its history may have had a hand in it, but I thought that the city felt very American.

>>2811262
>but I thought that the city felt very American.
interesting, never heard that before
tho isn't the point of Germany to try to be like America but more old-fashioned, autistic, prim, and sophisticated?

Delhi.

Barfelona is totally devoid of charm

>>2811266
I was there 20 years ago but the beach was kinda fun and normal - the rest of the city had a very dangerous vibe and I think gaudi's architecture is - gaudy

>>2811262
Yeah, it's a shithole. Potsdam next to it is much nicer.

>>2811262
Where are you from?

I've been to Neuchatel for work once.
I wasn't expecting much. I knew it wasn't going to be lively but FUCK this is thedeadest city I have ever seen. Even french cities half or a third of its size at least have one bar that show the football game on friday and saturday evenings. It's like Neuchatel has its own timezone : you think it's 8 and people may move on from dinnertime to drinking time or just enjoy the lakefront but you forgot that in Neuchatel Local Time, it's atcually 11 and everyone is asleep.

It was quite nice about 25 years ago. I heard it's gone downhill pretty badly since then.
Cologne was a shithole though, even then.

I genuinely didn't like Vienna, sue me.

>>2811264
Nta but the architecture made it feel like any city you'd see in NA. Also I think it's kind of weird how one of the most famous spots is a weird gay sex dungeon.

>>2811266
I liked Barcelona but the locals were cold and rude. This was 3 years ago shortly after covid shit so you’d think they’d want tourists

fuck.

all of the Scandinavian cities that I've visited were totally devoid of character

>>2811179
Ohh thanks for the tip!

>>2811162
he said city not rural collection of shacks retard. t. been there

>>2811267
>the beach
is that the heroin addict campground?

>>2811448
it has some skyscrapers, the location is great - situated between a lot of different nice hiking stuff - but the city is underwhelming

>>2811401
At least La Chaux has some museums and some of the watch factories are open for tours if you're a turbonerd.
Don't take this as a reason to go visit La Chaux though, it's just a slightly less worse place to be stuck in because you can check out the museum of horology, and coming in you won't even expect the place to be decent.

>>2811160 (OP)
It’s not really a city, but I was blown away by how little I liked Sintra, Portugal. A an only modestly interesting, not very old collection of gaudy royal buildings, some hills, and zero human life—it’s obvious within a matter of minutes that despite superficially resembling a town, nobody actually lives there. Same is true of the little city of Polignano a Mare, in Puglia—it’s nothing but mediocre tourist restaurants and holiday condos. It’s set on some striking low cliffs full of caves, so it looks really cool from the water, but it’s utterly lifeless compared to the legitimate town of Monopoli just down the coast, or the real little city of Bari a bit further on.

>>2811171
Ha, see...you should have visited Saigon. I visited with a French born woman who's father was a general of the south who fled after the war and we visited their family's house, they had this 10'x8' painting of him in uniform in their main room.

Makes sense that the king would keep riff-raff out.

Bristol RI is great, skill issue. Easy drive to Newport too

>>2811266
I was there last April and I tough it was great
Also the whole danger problem is way overblown, I felt less safe in London or Paris

>>2811160 (OP)
Valencia - dirty and run-down
Ili, Xinjiang, China - basically no infrastructure despite being Xinjiang's second largest city, and there is nothing to do. very boring
Istanbul - little needs to be said

>>2811160 (OP)
Chiang Mai

London, England. Shit weather most of the time and insanely overpriced for basically everything. Also tons of drug addicts around the underground stations especially near Soho. This was back in 2010 so I can only imagine its gotten much worse but I do kinda wanna go back to watch a match of the football club I follow.

>>2811266
I enjoyed the gothic quarter

>>2811160 (OP)
>Valencia
Seconding the anon who said it was a trash-heap

>Venice
I wss disappointed by learning nobody actually lives there. It's beautiful as fuck, but it's a fake city, more like a theme park.

>>2811660
People do actually live in Venice, but in the ugly part with gray factories on the other side of the bridge where there is nothing for tourists to see.

Jyväskylä, Finland- Literally nothing of any interest. Basedpod after basedpod after basedpod.

Geneva, Switzerland- Full of Arabs and Africans, nowhere near as grand and salubrious as you'd have been led to believe

Copenhagen, Denmark- Danes are awful, dour people and everything was covered in graffiti. The only nice people I met were Swedes and Icelanders

Milan, Italy- Dirty, humid, polluted, full of Africans and Arabs who think that they're rich and successful because they have a pair of Pradas

>>2812214
>Jyväskylä
Jyväskylä was one of the worst victims of boomer architects during the 60s-70s. All the old interesting buildings were torn down and replaced by ugliest commieblocks imaginable.
You don't really want to visit it for the architecture. Or for anything else, probably.

>>2811160 (OP)
Agree with you on Frankfurt, what a dump

>>2811601
How come?

Austin Texas. What a shithole. It's filled with Mexicans. The neighborhoods are essentially a half step above trailer parks. The women are fat and tatted like freakshow attractions. We went to 4 breweries and the beer was terrible at all 4. The whole city is also insanely overpriced for what you're getting. The only redeeming thing about the city is the good BBQ. The best thing we did in Austin was leave and go tubing in New Braunfels. I would never go back to Austin.

>>2812214
>Copenhagen, Denmark
>everything was covered in graffiti.
Jesus...if you think that was bad you should visit Valencia or Lisbon.

Valencia was absolutely covered, every fucking shop, in graffiti...baffling people accept that kind of degeneracy.

>>2812280
Sounds a lot like Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Lubbock and El Paso lol

That sounds like a lot of America in general though desu

I have been to a few filthy and disgusting places, but Manila takes the crown. The beggars are numerous and more aggresive than in any other place east of India, thieves and scammers everywhere, soul crushing poverty mixed with superfluous wealth. Even the "good" parts are not really good, they feel like a disneyland and not a genuine place. The food is total slop and overpriced for SEA standards. And you're struck in traffic for most of the day.

>>2812432
My cousin lives there.
:(
I'm supposed to visit him but I'm scared of taking weed on a plane and I can't live without it.
But I'm pretty sure he kinda uh works as a scammer or does something with online financial trading that is maybe less than legit.

>>2812232
The walled city was rather dumpy-looking. White people everywhere you look. Traffic is pretty hectic. I found other Thai provincial cities to be more charmingly Thai and less overrun with foreigners.

>>2812434
Inject THC concentrate into an edible if you must. Smoking weed in Manila is dangerous. Most barangays have a Zero Drug Tolerance policy.

>>2811160 (OP)
boston, atlanta, austin

>>2812592
I don't smoke I just drink a liquid extract (alcohol based tincture) - there's no smell that would bother others - but it is kinda crazy how weird they are about it. And I'm obviously nervous about flying there and back with it. I just put it in an unmarked opaque toiletry container and keep it in my carry on but who knows.

>>2812214
>Copenhagen, Denmark- Danes are awful, dour people and everything was covered in graffiti. The only nice people I met were Swedes and Icelanders

I didnt see any graffiti in copenhagen
Its like the cleanest city i ever visited

>>2812591
Fair enough, there were definitely a lot of tourists. Looking back, my best memories of Chiang Mai were going out of the city into the mountains

>>2811160 (OP)
I like Chile a lot in general, but Santiago is a nothing city in terms of culture and really anything noteworthy about it, other than being big. Lot of dirty areas as well.

Somehow they have the tallest building in South America for what it's worth, but you will only find a boring ass mall under it.

Manila is so fucking disgusting and pathetic. I've about mcfucking had it with this place.

>>2811160 (OP)
Cairo

>>2812628
That's a great way to travel with THC. Do you put it in your checked bag?

Rope yourself

Taipei. Soulless and boring vibe compared to similar sized Asian cities.

Porto Alegre.
Not a city but also Borodino.

>>2817257
Do you like anywhere else in RS? I've been meaning to check it out, I'll be in Floripa soon

>>2811160 (OP)
Boston is the most vapid soulless reddit place on earth

Vegas is pretty dull unless you wanna gamble your life savings away.
Hamburg was a bit dull outside the main square.

>>2811160 (OP)
Every major city in Europe and new York the only i could save
Tokio (in 2015/18)
Venice, in the COVID period it was beautiful almost no turist you could walk freely everywhere without people around

>>2811160 (OP)
Helsinki

>>2817836
> didn't like tokyo
that city is so massive that it entirely depends on what neighbourhood you stayed in. they go from grimy corporate full of rats and cockroaches to flourishing liberal oases with greenery alore

>>2811160 (OP)
Helsinki
Vienna

>>2817836

Dublin. Boring, awful transit, expensive. Not much worth seeing.

Da Nang, felt like a endless flood of scooters and cars with no humans around beach etc was great but the city was strange
Montevideo, the misses hated it I loved it and for the exact same reasons, it's dated, a bit grim and run down ...
Vegas it went downhill since 2015 and after the chinky flu it's in full decline

>>2811344
where do you like? First time traveller, just recently got back from Vienna, Salzburg and Graz and loved all 3. Would be interested in where you think is better for a future travel destination.

>>2817921
NTA but Vienna is very sterile and also full of niggers, muslims and various assortments of ragheads
the washroom in the international bus station, not only do you have to pay for it but no one cleans it (where is the money going?) and there is shit on the floor and walls, no soap in the dispenser, and many other unspeakable horrors

really, the most distasteful part about the city is it is all concrete, as in picrel. In the city centre they try and at least add some ornamentation to the stone (right side of pic), but most of it is what you see on the left side of the pic. The Vienna Naschmarkt, hyped up online as the best market in the city, is again, barebones crumbling concrete full of ethnics that would not look out of place in a ghetto in Bradford or Leeds

This is a city where you have to try hard to find cool aesthetic or cultural things to do - find some under the radar coffee house, or get your balls drained by Romanian whores at the many brothels. If you don't you will end up with migrants in an uninspiring quasi-hellish landscape. I'm never going back if I can help it

>>2811601
It is too touristy but not big enough like Bangkok to make up for it. I don't think any actual Thai people live in the core. Just workers that cater to tourists.

I hate Denver

>>2811171
This and Manila but that’s obviously shit. Also, Toronto sucks.

>>2818614
any place in Canada with people sucks lol

>>2818679
What tiny parts of that are still predominantly white Canadian are fine. The problem is the jeets find out about them and flood them out of existence sometimes within months of their discovery.

>>2818714
You sound like a shitskin. Don’t ever reply to my posts again pest. You people will never be welcome anywhere
