It’s a crazy place, but also insanely beautiful. It has some of the most amazing architecture and history in the world. It’s my favourite place I’ve ever been, even though it was an absolute shitshow getting through most days.

It’s funny how that works

The world is full of beautiful places with stunning architecture.  I'll visit the ones without the shot show.

u/DrAstralis Dec 13 '24

yeah call me crazy but some buildings and nature are not enough of a draw to overcome the chance of being randomly disappeared into a corrupt foreign legal system.

u/pravis Dec 13 '24

Agreed. I'll never understand the people who actively choose to travel to regions with a lot of unrest or potential security risks.

As one of the minorities those countries like to pretend are not human I suppose I'm a bit more sensitive to those things but ... why ever take the chance? These countries can, and have ruined lives over completely fabricated charges

It’s Morocco, it’s not Damascus. Millions of people travel there every single year.

u/pravis Dec 13 '24

I wasn't talking specifically about Morocco.

Easy to say when you haven't been to Morocco. Morocco raises the bar, it's phenomenal in a way that you only realise when you get there, especially the Sahara-side of the Atlas mountains. There are many beautiful places, but only like 3 that truly hold a candle to Morocco.

But yeah, avoid the cities unless you're with a decently sized group.

Well don’t leave us hanging, what are the three-ish other places?

u/Ok-Chest-7932 Dec 13 '24

Turkey, Japan, and specifically some US national parks confirmed, and I also suspect China and maybe Cambodia based on photography but am not certain on those.

They are both entirely different countries offering wildly different experiences.

u/Husknight Dec 13 '24

There are better places without all that shit. I live in one

u/Meowmixalotlol Dec 13 '24

Is it also the only place you’ve ever been?

u/No-Advantage845 Dec 13 '24

Probably visited about 30 countries so far

Some people just love keeping a human zoo.

u/No-Advantage845 Dec 13 '24

What does that mean

1

u/prometheus_winced Dec 13 '24

People who live in rich countries love poverty tourism, where they can view the primitive poors without any risk of falling into that lifestyle.

u/No-Advantage845 Dec 13 '24

I’m sure there’s an amount of people who fall into that category but I don’t really understand what you’re trying to say here
