Least favourite places

1. Salvador Mazza, Argentina (missed a bus and waited in a ghost town for 26hrs).
2. Tunis, Tunisia - was kept in police custody for 8 hrs for taking a photo of the Algerian embassy - purely for its architectural features I must add!
3. Popayan, Colombia - it seemed like a very boring, disappointing place with no atmosphere.
4. Quito, Ecuador - the shoe shine boys are a pain in the a*s, the sky was gloomy the whole time and I got sunburnt because of the altitude, which is deceptive.
5. Brasilia, Brazil - No soul. Dom Bosco  cathedral is one amazing building, though otherwise I would recommend going on an excursion to Goiania instead!
6. Kuta, Bali, Indonesia - far too touristy
7. Jaipur, India - nothing of major interst here, except the Jawar Mahal
8. Dortmund, Germany - rather unimpressive, though the Christmas market was cool.
9. Asilah, Morocco - didn't leave much of an impression.
10. Padangbai, Lombok, Indonesia - a rather boring place. The snorkelling could have been better!
