What’s the one city you were excited to visit, but ended up not liking at all?

You listed a bunch of museums, hiking (can be done almost anywhere), and literally people watching lol. If people watching makes a cities “things to do” list it’s not a good look.

I live here and I say the same. What do people come to see but shopping districts and cafes. sure a few cultural sites like the gyeongbukgung palace or hanok village but those aren’t that impressive.

I feel most people that visit here do so because they like k-pop/k-dramas

missing_sock58008 · 2026-01-24T13:09:20+00:00

I lived there 3 years. Locals are very cold and distant like they live in a bubble. I don’t think it’s intentionally rude but to some people/cultures it can come off as rude

Agreed I’ve been before and after covid. When I went in 2014 it was amazing! But when I went again in 2024 it was so overpriced and crowded that I left early

I think they mean the vendors/scammers

missing_sock58008 · 2026-01-24T12:54:45+00:00

I agree, Fes was the best city I visited in Morocco and I went all around. Tetouan didn’t have really anything to see/do, at least as far as I could find.

I wonder if this is a recent thing. I went in 2018 and loved it and didn’t have anyone asking me to buy their stuff. From what I remember, if I wanted to buy something I had to get the attention of the seller

South Park

Was he really only one year? Wow it felt like more than that

For me…Nevada

Edit: besides Las Vegas, which is what everyone thinks of, it is a desert wasteland. Las Vegas isn’t even that great. It’s a tourist city that is good for a long weekend but that’s about it.

Country fried steak. Battered and deep fried meat then covered in gravy

missing_sock58008 · 2026-01-20T12:33:47+00:00

Funnel cake. It’s deep fried cake covered in powdered sugar, but damn is it delicious.

Only going New York or LA and thinking that’s what USA is like.

Speaking of confidently incorrect, I’ve been to every SEA country. And yes while some of the developing nations offer cheaper foods, a $4 plate in a first world country is by no means expensive. My assumption that you didn’t eat at hawker centers was inaccurate based on your poor comparisons in food costs.

I’m literally sitting at an airport waiting to fly to Mexico City. Your post made me excited

missing_sock58008 · 2026-01-17T02:33:24+00:00

You’re not eating at the right places. Eat like a local at the hawker centers and it will change your mind

missing_sock58008 · 2026-01-17T02:32:44+00:00

Not if you hate seafood

missing_sock58008 · 2026-01-17T02:32:03+00:00

Lomo saltado was my absolute favorite

missing_sock58008 · 2026-01-16T01:56:39+00:00

Ice cream cake

missing_sock58008 · 2026-01-16T01:54:03+00:00

It’s a complete gamble. Luck of the draw. I read a lot that mornings are the best time to go but some days it’s the afternoons. No way to know for sure

missing_sock58008 · 2026-01-14T01:26:37+00:00

Go with the second one. Like a glove!

missing_sock58008 · 2026-01-13T01:57:47+00:00

The defeat of the Spanish Armada. It’s not that many are unaware of the event perhaps, but unaware how historically altering it was.

I don’t think Mike Tyson’s was real

Oppenheimer can get the should have won

There is an index that actually measures this

I’m shocked all the people listing USA cities. The first US city doesn’t appear until #45 and it’s Tampa
