johnno Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 saudi arabia - too many arabs there, too many camels, and the men wear dresses 8) :shock: but on the positive side - they DO have McDonalds, beer, sexy women, what more does a man need? 8) :shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inamorato25 Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 I spent a few weeks backpacking down the coast of Morocco during the first Gulf War and it left a bad taste in my mouth about travelling in Arab countries. Yes, I saw and experienced things that were unforgettable. But they were constantly marred by experiences with the people who, due to the colour of my skin ("American coloured" to them) and my religion (or lack thereof), would be just as happy to see me dead. And a few even tried to help me get there. On the positive side, experiences like that have made me see the flip side of the racist coin up close and personal (although living in Japan has been an equally effective lesson). One Arabic country I would like to see before I get hit by a bus or something is Egypt. But when I do go, and I'd recommend this to anybody travelling in a dodgy country, I won't backpack it. Know where you're going, and if necessary, hire a registered guide. 8) Given the amount of beautiful and extraordinary **** out in the world left to see in countries where I can walk around in relative safety, I'll hit those places first.

ling_dtua_khaao Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 Because my boss goes there and get hard sick everytime. Also the people there smell bad.LOLLOL Thai girls' noses are soooooooooo sensitive. A lot of Thais also don't like khaek very much, definite prejudice. Rough translation of a Thai saying (I've only heard it in English): "if you see an Indian and a snake approaching at the same time, you hit the Indian first". Gapi and durian don't smell too good on someone else's breath either, you know --Ling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
