[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bali. Probably already mentioned a few times on this thread (I didn't read the first 15 or so pages). Very crowded, very commercialized. Did have some nice things about it but it's not the tropical paradise of travel promotional materials.

Places like Paris and London - I've been to both many times and as the years go by they lose more of their magic. A lot of changes in both cities since the 1980s. They're far less English/French and much more "international" and without wanting to get into politics it does mean these cities have lost much of what made them unique.

Cambodia. Went for the Angor Wat. It was nice enough. But I'd already seen many temple complexes and when you've seen one the rest tend to run into each other. There is a fascinating history at Angor Wat but Thailand is just a more enjoyable experience that I wouldn't go back to Cambodia. Food wasn't so interesting. [/quote]

London has always been a melting pot. I grew up there in the 70's and me, and most of my friends, were from immigrant families. What's different now is that many of those immigrants now have brown skin. They are still Londoners. [/quote]
