The Worst Place On Earth You've Been To

I know what you mean mate, absolutely beautiful country - it's expensive true, that's the only downside.

I went there when I was 25 and loved it. We stayed at the bottom of a valley in the Jungfrau region, and the grass was as green you get. The thing is even though it was Summer, there was still snow in the alps, and as it was melting, the water would fall all over into the valley, and there were watersfalls all around us. These waterfalls culminated into a large body of water which would run right down through the middle of the valley. In order to get from where we were staying to the other side, you would cross and old wooden bridge (which was structurally sound), but just how preserved and old fashioned everything was, and naturally beautiful, was something I would never forget.

Also... I would love to do this one day:

I think you and I have stayed at the same place. The little 'backpackers' with all the wooden cabins. It continued on the other side of that wooden bridge and they have an old bomb shelter that they've turned into a nightclub for tourists. My cabin was the nearest to the bridge so all night all I heard was the rushing water and people drunkenly laughing and walking back to their cabins.

That's probably right man, and you needed to walk about 10 mins to get to the nearest train station and catch 2 different train to get up into the alps right?

I'll never forget that place.

I think there was a train station about that far away, but I was on a BusAbout hop-on hop-off tour so I didn't need to look for it. I recall it was about a 2hr walk through the valley to get to the Schilthorn cable cars. That and Interlakken a short drive away are about my only reference points that I can think of at the moment!

But yeah, absolutely stunning place.

Syracuse, USA.
By far the scariest place I've been and I've spent time in Pakistan during the Bin Laden time!

Depends on what you mean by worst.

Agree with a lot that has been said.

Paris is overrated

Adelaide by far the most deadest, boring I have ever been too.
Probably because we're a city for locals, not everything we do is catered for tourists.

Other than our 1970's era public transport system and crap job market, I've had no issues since I moved here a decade ago.

I feel like most people who hate Adelaide have probs not been there in like a decade or spent two days there one time. Of course not every place is for everyone either, but it's a f**k load better than when I lived there in the 90s and heaps better than even 15 years ago. Far from the worst place going

Both Adelaide and Perth get a bit of an unfair wrap. Only had a long weekend in both but I enjoyed them for what they were. Sure they’re a slower pace and a bit sleepier than the main east coast centres but they have their own charm

Lived in Perth for ages, great place. WA is so much more than Perth though, fantastic uncrowded coastline.
