It's obviously 1000x Syria for me

Same here. Can't complain though.The United States. I've never been to any other country, so by default it's the worst. It is also, by default, the best.

[QUOTE="Hexagon_777"]I was never as unhappy as in those six years that I spent in Jeddah and Riyadh in Saudi Arabia.MemberinoIf I'd spent any time in Saudi Arabia, I imagine that would be on my list. Why were you there for so long?My father's employment. Living there taught be a valuable life lesson, namely that money doesn't buy happiness.

Out of the ones I've been to outside of the United States, I would say Malaysia was the least pleasant experience.
...though there have been areas I've been to in the U.S. that I found to be an even worse experience, particularly the South...at the same time there have been areas in the U.S. I found to be really pleasant and fun with a lot to do and where most of the people I encountered seemed nice, particularly the Northwest and areas of the Northeast.
I haven't been to very many countries outside of the US, but of the ones I have visited, I'd have to say that I didn't enjoy Italy very much either. Germany and Austria were very nice though.

You probably spent it wrong.Of course I did. :lol::P In all seriousness though, what was so bad about Saudi Arabia? I lived in Riyadh for 10 years and then moved to Canada (GTA) and am now about to pass the 10 year mark and personally found both places to be nice to live in.[QUOTE="forgot_it"][QUOTE="Hexagon_777"]My father's employment.

I wouldn't call a country I have been to the worst, but I have been to the best!
I went to the Maldives Islands once.

I lived in Riyadh for 10 years and then moved to Canada (GTA) and am now about to pass the 10 year mark and personally found both places to be nice to live in.I'll just provide you with a small excerpt. My first impression of Saudi Arabia was this: Since we moved to Saudi Arabia, all of our stuff had been transported via a container. When we finally got our stuff (and the Saudis made sure we weren't smuggling anything that's deemed haram (anything that is forbidden by Islamic law)), a rather large amount had been destroyed or ruined. Stuff had been pissed on, **** on, trampled on (black footprints could be seen), pictures had been torn up, and so on. We were lucky according to others, however. I am just glad my parents hadn't taken any wedding pictures or other such valuable memories with them. Oh, and the best part? They had no right to go into the container as my family enjoyed diplomatic status but those ******* still did. Savage scum. I am getting angry just thinking about it. So my terrible memories from that country. This paragraph cannot convey how ****** up our "welcome gift" to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was.

As for the luggage experience, I can sort of relate :P. When we were emigrating we were running late and the movers had already locked the containers so they told us to keep the extra stuff up at front with them and they said they'd put it in the container and ship it off. Needless to say, that stuff never made it to Canada but thankfully we didn't keep anything important in there. A family friend of ours stupidly decided to label the boxes and what they contained and "coincidentally" many of the boxes labelled things like "TV" never made it over.
Again, I don't want to blame an entire country on experiences like these since I have met some wonderful people there but I can certainly see where you're coming from.
Cambodia has to be a bad place. We went there to see the grandparents. I saw like 100's of kids on the streets begging for money and a bowl of rice. It was horrible(in a sad way). I pulled out a 5 dollar bill for a kid and he acted like he won the lottery :(
Peru :( I really tried to enjoy my time there, but a series of things didnt allow me to. For example, I almost got robbed like 4 times. And people dont have very good hygiene (neither do streets). Food was insanely good, though :D
Worst country to live? Probably Korea. But it's a freaking blast to just stay there for a couple of month. There's just so many things to do. I don't think Japan is all that great to live in with ridiculous food prices and rents, but it's also great place to visit. Canada is the best country in the world as long as you are not in Toronto, then comes Auckland, New Zealand. I never liked US for some reason, probably because of all the hassle we have to go through on the border crossing. It's best to stay close to US in Canada to go shopping spree once in a while, like from Van city to Birmingham or Seattle, or from Toronto to Buffalo, etc.funsohng
Auckland? Really? I can't wait to get out of Auckland...
I've never been to a country I didn't like but the ones I've been to (Australia and Vanuatu which doesn't really count) were a lot nicer than New Zealand.
But I guess I wouldn't want to "live" in Vanuatu so from worst to best Vanuatu, New Zealand, Australia. Although I prefer NZ's government over Australia's...
