Palermo Italy - nice in the pictures - but mostly a dirty, dilapidated big city. Would never recommend.

Okay, can you explain why? I am sure India is not terrible to travel to.

NP—I loved it but get why people don’t.

It’s a lot to take in.

Maybe the stereotypes that people associate with India, which I think is absolute BS. I am sure India has a lot of nice places to go through and it still holds a very rich culture. Some people are just ignoring it.

Tell me you know nothing about India without telling me you know nothing about India.

I think people need to specify if they are actually Indian or not when judging India.
(or their nationality and experiences in general when explaining why they hated a place. It helps a lot).

For a westerner, the poverty and racism and dismissal of human life is a very tough part of India. Sure there are beautiful buildings, generous and lovely people, but there are slums, horrible pollution and rubbish, children in streets and agonizing poverty too. You can't just dismiss that as part of the experience no matter where you go.

I think you have to visit India more than once to start enjoying it. You have to uncover layers to find beauty and joy

Same with Florida

Never got the appeal of London. Bad weather, relatively bad food (except Dishoom!!!), not pretty, just kind of boring overall. I’d rather be in Paris if I’m looking for a big city on the westernmost area of Europe.

Also didnt love Lisbon but I see the appeal of it for others. For me, maybe I was just not in a good mood the week I was there, but I didn’t love it.

Vegas, Paris in summer, most suburbs in America, Berkeley Springs WVa, Miami, Daytona Beach, Philly, Belgium.

When we went to Miami the weather was unbearably bad, hot, high humidity and their beaches are not impressive. We went to Disney World, same bad weather. I really hate Florida.

Florida is heaven in terms of weather during winter months and hell in the summer. I actually don't know how one can "hate Florida" in the winter because it's a huge state with stunning beaches (maybe not the one you went to), a unique ecosystem in the Everglades, natural springs, manatees, dolphins, wild parrots, ibis, stunning plants and flowers... People miss out when they just go to Miami Beach and get stuck with crowds, traffic and tourist trap restaurants.

Disney? I get that. Lines for hours are not my idea of fun and I'm not doing it again.

Florida is great if you go to the keys or the islands (daniel, Marco, etc…putting aside hurricane damage for the moment). I agree that I don’t like Miami or Orlando.

Nah. It’s flat, brown, full of awful people, ugly architecture, hotter than hades, just horrible.

Ah yes the city with nearly 100 Michelin stars is known for its awful food.

London is an absolute bore, especially if you live in another big city. Nothing is a standout or unique in comparison to NYC, Paris, Berlin, etc. I only go to London to visit friends, but have no interest in sightseeing there.

I also hated Queenstown in NZ. That place exists as just a money grab, and I couldn’t get out of there fast enough.

You need to go walk around Coral Gables on a sunny winter day and take in the gorgeous greenery, flowers, flocks of green parrots in the sky and stunning 1920s Spanish architecture.

DP here. I did a two-year post for my job, and I hate India. It was the worst place I've ever been or lived, and I've lived in 7 countries, including one other developing country. The filth and the "scam culture" of lying and dishonesty, the class/caste snobbery and the acceptance of speaking to/treating those considered beneath you as if they are subhuman, the prevalence of bad behavior by men toward women and the way this is accepted and often explained away to minimize/justify, really wore me down. I had colleagues who brought their kids and they broke contract due to the hideous air pollution and the way their teen daughter was ogled and harassed.

And yet we are to believe they magically leave this mindset behind when they immigrate.
