Places you have no interest in going to

My uncle has some dull-sounding industrial machinery sales job and always goes on holiday to Canada. There's a definite pattern.
There are very few places I'd actually refuse to go if someone said "look, here's a free ticket to X". I'd probably hand it back to them if it was to somewhere completely lawless and violent like Somalia, or a country that's desperately poor. But there are places I'd go, but not be bothered enough about going to ever make it there, if you see what I mean. I'd probably avoid the well-worn South East Asia backpacking haunts, for example. Nor do the British beaches of southern Spain feature highly in my fantasy travel plans. In fact, I'd go as far as to say I'd steer clear of anywhere that's had a "holiday reps uncovered"-type TV programme made about it. (That makes me sound such a snob, but I'm just not a big drinker and I prefer my beaches big, empty and on Scottish islands!) Aside from that, there isn't really anywhere, except places fairly local to me that I just think "oh no, not that place again", like Blackpool or Birmingham.

Poland was a big disappointment to me too - boring countryside, soulless spruced-up 'Westernised' cities with malls etc, and to be honest, right-wing pro-American locals.
well that's a shame but I assure you there are a great many very lovely and sorted Aussies both here and down under.
I had the time of my life there and I didn't spend all my time on beaches or at barbies.
Never let it be said I don't correct myself....met my cool first Australian this week. Was working as a miner in the northern territories. Went to nightschool to teach himself journalism and is now a foreign correspondent in Brussels. Not many countries you could say that about. Respect to him, and them.

I drank loads of beer in Morroco, most days in fact.
You can buy beers for much of the night in most decent hotels although it is expensive. Many restaurants serve alcohol. Also there are lots of bars which generally seemed to be open until about 11pm.
I got pissed in Casablanca, Rabat, Meknes, Essaouria, Marrakesh and several smaller places.
It did seem that most of the bars were very male dominated and perhaps a little rough.
This part of Wales, which I guess is what the psychopaths want if the story is true.
