- Feira de Santana, Brazil. A city of half a million, it lacks a main square, a cinema or a beach. When people are bored, they go to the shopping mall.
- Atlanta, USA. I saw Atlanta after it was "prettyfied" for the Olympics. It still made it into my "ugliest cities of the world" list.
- Loch Ness, Scotland. It´s really as boring as you think. There is no monster. I stayed in a hostel which locks you in at 10 pm and locks you out as 10 am. I did not know that the daily bus (that´s right, one per day) only stops if you wave at the driver. I had to stay another day.
- Andorra. Half of the mountains were blown away to make space for shopping malls. The other half was blown away for the parking lots. The only town is ramshackle enough to make you think it was abandoned decades ago, but it still drowns in traffic. A bypass would be a good idea, but they would have to blow up some shopping malls to make space for it.
- Dublin, Ireland was a big dissappointment for me. It has the charms of Hannover (=none) and the prices of Paris. I just don´t put it to the top of the list because girls walk about in miniskirts and tank tops even in January. That´s stupid, but nice to watch.
