In the U.S., in Maryland. As far as I know, there isn't a Baltimore in England.

Atlantic City, which is a real **** hole if you actually leave the hotel/casino establishment your at. Granted, I'm sure it's a paradise for gamblers, but there isn't crap to do there if you don't gamble and there are few places I've seen that are more run down. Plus it's in New Jersey, which speaks for itself.

Tokyo does suck; Osaka is a million times better. Tokyo is still better than the shithole that is Seoul, however.
Toyko was clean and well planned where as Seoul was clean and unplanned. In any event neither of these cities deserves the title of worst city ever. They both interesting but not spectacular cities.

If someone claims Toyko or Seoul is worse then say Phili or Fresno then I can show you a person who has never been to Phili or Fresno.

I actually lived in Baltimore for 6months in the mid 1980s. My dad accepted a transfer out there and we arrived just in time to get hit by the worst snow storm in 20 years. Remember my family is from San Diego were snow is something you watch on TV.

It didn't take my parents long to decid to move back to sunny southern California.

Granted, but you can keep your winter snow storms & sticky hot summers while I will take the palm trees and Mediterranean weather out here.

One welfare office at a time.



Seriously, I think I'd find a more tropical country to move to if I was going to be a homeless welfare spunge. Doesn't Italy have decent benifets?

That's an average Albacore tuna. A nice bluefin is above 1000 pounds. They are almost extinct. But I'm kinda referring to the guy in the yellow trousers behind. He's like the Finns in Stockholm. I payed hundreds of dollars just to get on the boat, then he helped me with the fish before I found out he wasn't a true member of the boat crew. It was illegal for the passengers to clean their own fish, and this "expert" demanded 5$ per fish he cleaned. I refused to pay and gave my fish away to a local guy who did not catch anything that day.

It was a cultural clash. I expected everything (except food and beer) to be included in the price, just like anywhere else in US, but these bastards wanted me to pay extra for even the most basic of services.

Even my worst enemy wouldn't deserve to live in the shithole that is Bordeaux, but the city is tolerable if you're a tourist there for one hour or two.

They don't call it Filthydelphia for no reason. Still, can't be that bad, it is still the 5th largest city in the USA
