Shit-hole Countries

Even the good captain is not above a hint of sarcasm.

 

I didn't think it as a shithole. More as depressing.

Took a few days to shake it after leaving.

 

No, guess not,funny didn't realize he was listing "bad" places. but been to Madascagar. It's a beautiful island.

 

In Bermuda, 3 deep, everything is over my head

 

I have not been to one of those countries, let alone all of them! haha. Just putting up general data from the internetz. I do think there's almost always exceptions in every country, so it is hard to label a whole country a shithole. Even cities vary wildly. Los Angeles "can" be brutal and worse than a 3rd world. LA can also be peak wealth and opulence that never interacts with the other area.

I think the internet lists are likely the best gauge for general country shithole-ness since it is data driven versus one of us having a more random experience that doesn't cover a whole country and average it out.

 

The Foosa suck, King Julian is an idiot, Mort is annoying but Maurice is cool as f.

 

The real deal in Madagascar

 

A former colleague is from India. Immigrated to the US, and after 10 years here, he returned to India for a visit. He didn't heed the warnings about the food and water, assuming he would be fine because he spent most of his life there. Ended up in the ICU and nearly died. That country is apparently so much of a shithole that it even tries to kill it's own spawn with explosive diarrhea.

 

India is funny, there was days I didn't leave my hotel room knowing the shit I had to deal with, on the flip side traveled around India with a driver fond of whiskey, we got along, it's a beautiful country, then you see 70 people on top of a bus on the highway and you find yourself shitting in a hole on a train with the tracks grinding

 

Panama, Djibouti, Bahrain of the ones I've been to.
Turkey was 3rd world sanitation but the food and people were amazing.

 

Instant thread ender

 

Southern California will have you question 1/3 world Countries. Cuba is better

 

Hot as balls but the tiny bit I saw wasn’t bad and the beaches were nice.

Turkey is one of my three. Set up by a bartender and hotel employee(s) to be drugged, robbed and kidnapped or murdered. No thanks even if the street cats are awesome.

 

Venezuela....could be beautiful....

 

It is Magartia, los roques could be in international treasure

 

So the Turkish mob reads the beeb and your shit-talking of Sofullaglue?

And yet, they underestimated your tolerance for pharmaceuticals?

Guess they should have studied your full body of work.

 

I credit my drinking Heineken (and some other things) with not getting murdered. Heineken is the same every place you go. Tastes the same, looks the same and smells the same.
Told them not to open it, no glass needed and it came opened and with a weird smell to it.

I think I posted about it somewhere here. Well, most of it. The parts I didn’t post about I won’t.

 

But talking real world d

You can't credit heinkin on your travels, kind of like your attitude

 

Nah, bad feeling and a strong smell different than the norm, plus they opened it told me shit wasn’t right. Pretended to drink it while pouring it on the floor and bailing mid beer to my room.
Blah blah blah, set up and hauled ass to my room.

 

Behind Baltimore I would say pick
Your east coast of Africa country and go.

So much going wrong over there. Haven’t found an enclave of folks worth not thinking it is a shithole.
