California

Venezia

(in Italy > Veneto)

Worth visiting!

Slightly overrated

Venice appears prettier and more majestic in pictures than it does in real life. Its worth a short trip but beware of the high prices and tourists traps. Locals were rude and the water smells bad in areas. Take a boat around the area and visit the small islands dotting the coast there. Bring lots of money. :)

Germany

(in Europe)

Not worth visiting!

Honestly, not so hot

Germany is very boring compared to the rest of Europe. The people I found to be very uninspiring and although some of the landscapes are visually pleasing you could probably find better countries to visit. The south of Germany is now full of immigrants so it doesn’t much look like what you would expect to see visiting Germany.

France

(in Europe)

Worth visiting!

Went in 1993

Absolutely beautiful. There is probably nothing I can say about France that has not been said. Its a MUST see. Paris is amazing. Yes, the natives dont care for outsiders but you wont need to bother with them much. The historical value of France is all that matters. Check out Verdun if you can.

Spain

(in Europe)

Worth visiting!

Party all night

I stayed with a friend who lives near Barcelona in 2001. The beach resorts are insane. You wont sleep much. Too much partying to do. Lots of tourists but the beer was cheap. Great beaches. Natives are not the most friendly but who needs them when you have hot Dutch women everywhere!

Saudi Arabia

Not worth visiting!

I was sent here in 1990

I was stationed in Saudi Arabia from 1990-91 during the first war with Iraq. Horrible place. Its a huge sandbox, the natives were rude and arrogant. Avoid!

United Kingdom

(in Europe)

Worth visiting!

I have relatives here

I love England. My mother lives there and I visit as often as possible. I feel very at home and I love the people and the history. Everyone should see it at least once and there is A LOT to see! See Wales if you can and don’t miss all the great castles.
