Top 5 Places I Don't Want to Visit
5) North Korea
4) Iran
3) East Timor
2) Iraq
1) Apolyton
Apolyton indeed.
Actually, as long as you don't look American, Iran 'should' be pretty hospitable. And if you are/look Asian, North Korea will probably be 'okay'.
Rambuchan
The Funky President
The Queen's Undies.
It's a pretty boring place most times. Typical administrative city.
I don't know what news station you've been watching!
West 36 has a point. I got shot in Philly, as you would expect, but all I could think was: "Dayum! That IS a tasty bit of Provolone!"

May I ask why? Is it because they're poor?

Have you not heard of civil war, human rights abuses, rape, torture, AIDS, malaria, etc?

You should turn off your TV and learn a bit more about the outside world.Africa is a big place, and there are a lot of countries where it's perfectly safe to travel.

Well, I don't think there would be much that would interest me...
If anything, I would visit South Africa, Egypt, Morocco, and maybe Tunisia (Carthage).
But what I mainly don't want to visit from Africa is all those really poor countries.
(Sorry if I offended you.

You did not offended me. It's simply that I do not understand why you equate poor countries with bad experiences. More often that not, people in poor countries are much more social than individual Westerners.
In other words, you might not find the 5-star hotel and the pristine beach, but you will meet great people and have great experiences.
What screws up everything, of course, is mass tourism, and then you end up with countries like Egypt where, if you stay on the main tracks, you will be hounded by people thinking you're just a giant money bag.
So traveling out of the beaten paths requires preparation and giving up a certain level of personal comfort, but it's well worth it.

Yeah, that's why I'm not staying in Paris when I go to France.
But seriously, I know what you mean. The people who actually don't get that many tourists are always so nice and hospitable (of course, there are exceptions, but for the most part, they're usually nice and friendly.
)

I'm American and I look kinda Jewy, so I'd be hesitant to visit most Middle Eastern countries.
There's this one smack dab in the middle of the near east. We're friendly with them and the people are friendly!
