Abu Dhabi.

Well, the airport.

I left a plane on a stopover just to visit the toilet and was followed around by a little man who I thought was disturbingly cruising me, then realised he was some sort of official on a drug watch.

Totally freaked me out.
 


Struggling to think of a country I've been too that didn't have some redeeming qualities. The best I can do is Denmark, which seemed a bit characterless, but I was on a work trip

Only one - Dubai. Worked there for a short time, although not short enough. It's a place with no redeeming features, looks like Croydon but several degrees hotter. No matter how bad my life gets, I can console myself with the thought that I'll never have to go to Dubai again

Favourite place I've been yet in the world. Aarhus - the city I stayed in - was absolutely overflowing with culture.

Yep. My Sister lived there a few years due to her husbands work. We all met up there for Christmas one year. Nothing to do except shop or go to their massively underwhelming beaches. Really was a dull dull characterless place.

Really not keen on the place at all.

Up currently sitting on a balcony on Conil Spain. My favourite holiday destination, my third time.

It's lovely here. Where the Spanish go on holiday

First time I was here it was a bit Guardian Reader but luckily they appear to have disappeared too.

Friendly, laid back, clean, beautiful golden beaches, perfect.

Been to some utter crap-holes, but all have fond memories for one reason or another.
Having said that, if I am never to return to either Brunei or Djibouti, then I won't lose any sleep.
Ah, also, India. Not my cup of Darjeeling I'm afraid.

Brunei and India for me too. Brunei as it's horribly bland, and India for a number of reasons.

I went to Aarhus once. Very nice. It was just after the MS Estonia sank though, so everybody was depressed.
 




Love the antithesis of the Top 5 Countries of The World survey.

Been racking my brains as to which countries I hate that I wouldn't go back to. Really can't think of any. Been to some places that are a bit bland eg Denmark, Isle of Man. Some countries that are tips eg Egypt - but if I was given a free holiday, to those places wouldn't turn it down.

There is beauty everywhere!

Russia, people there are universally miserable, rude, unfriendly, racist and violent.
Serbia, as above but worse.
Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, UAE the entire region really, nothing to see but rock and sand and no real redeeming features.
