Philadelphia? Have you been to Rittenhouse Square on a weekend lately? |

| Back in the mid 90's I used to travel to Detroit for work 2-3 times a year. Every time I went it felt like I was visiting some post apocalyptic city - where 2 out of 3 stores were vacant, everything looked run down - and abandoned. Clearly there must have been nice areas... somewhere in Detroit. But I never saw them. |

Chichen Itza - Yeah the giant platform carved with skulls for displaying vanquished enemies was a bit of a clue. Also also all the ball courts with the deadly consequences for losing? Or winning? Or both? And the cenote full of sacrificed kids. But I was fine at the Coliseum, lol. |

| Morgantown, WV. It’s a college town but the locals seem creepy. Lots of pot and hells Angela types. |

Zagreb. Police got on the train as we entered Croatia. Show us your papers! Flashlights in our faces.
I guess that's happening here now. |

North Pole/Santa’s Workshop a 60 year old yet still open amusement park near Pikes Peak Colorado. We went on a weekday during the summer about 12 years ago.
It was empty except for park workers who all had empty stares, looked like they were on meth and were creepy. Even though it was deserted, I felt like we were being watched the entire time. The railroad was creepy and the reindeer in the enclosure were mutated looking like a cross between a reindeer and deer, some were white and others had spots which was weird. There was one other couple in the park with a toddler and preschooler. The parents looked very rough and skinny, the guy had a gun stuffed into his waistband. The woman had old bruises on her face and arms. We left immediately after this. |

I don't get creeped out but the place that I've ever felt that bad, sinking feeling in my stomach was Uganda, specifically Queen Elizabeth National Park and Bwindi for gorilla trekking.
When we were there, I didn't know about the things that have happened to tourists in the past. We were just very, very creeped out and felt like something bad was going to happen. Then I did some googling and my instincts were correct: This happened only a few months after our trip. We were on this exact road many times on our trip, going to/from our lodge to the National Park: https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/uganda-police-say-three-killed-national-park-attack-2023-10-17/ We both got a very very creepy feeling when we were in this particular area of the park, where an American tourist and her guide were kidnapped by DRC rebels: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/apr/03/uganda-american-tourist-kidnapped-held-ransom And then this - I just can't imagine: https://www.justice.gov/archive/opa/pr/2003/March/03_crm_131.htm |

You never traveled before the EU, did you? That’s just border control, not something sinister. |
