[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Places I have not enjoyed at all include:

[b]Madrid- it’s just like visiting a landlocked NYC but without Broadway, fashion, or modern art. Too big and hard to navigate.[/b]

Cologne- just incredibly boring and nothing to see beyond the church and the chocolate factory.

Brussels. It’s okay but the third time I visited I found some charming places. I wouldn’t go out of my way to visit though.

Amsterdam- okay the first time, but terribly overcrowded much of the year.

Galveston- just too hot and too many jellyfish

San Francisco and Portland-  too many drug addicts and felt very very unsafe

Western Europe as a whole: overpriced, dingy and unfriendly- would be interested in seeing more of Eastern Europe

Beijing - crazy scale, felt lost in the crowd

Loved:
- Istanbul, Turkey as a whole, Greece, Paris, also loved Belize but stayed on an island there,  loved NW Pakistan mountains, loved Bavaria and Austria in the winter, Shanghai, Kyoto, Hiroshima

Loved in the US: Scottsdale, Palm Beach, Bar Harbor, Detroit, Shenandoah Valley, Breckenridge, anywhere Montana, loved Hillsboro but scared of Portland, Orange County[/quote]

Madrid struck me almost the exact same way. It's like, "What if we took Midtown Manhattan and made it the entire city." Not saying there aren't parts of Madrid that are interesting, but I found a lot of it to be soulless and sterile.[/quote]

You must have never left your hotel?[/quote]

I forgot that all opinions must match yours. My bad.

You sound fun.[/quote]

I mean, comparing all of Madrid to Midtown Manhattan really suggets you went nowhere. The Retiro? Chueca? The  Prado? [/quote]
