Culture: Barcelona, culture isn't something I visit for. Nightlife:Rotterdam. History:Not something I've explored enough. Cleanliness: United Arab Emirates. Even the deprived regions are spotless. They literally clean the toilets 24-7. My uncle visited Singapore years ago. He said it was very clean. Natural beauty: Lake District and the mountains just before Peebles in Scotland Note: natural beauty is scenery, natural environment, etc. It’s not hot women or men.

Administrator Stan Posted December 21, 2022 Administrator Share Posted December 21, 2022 Food: Home-cooked! Anything that my wife/mum/dad have cooked. But if that doesn't count, a local place called The Royal Gurkha has never failed to deliver exquisite food. Non-local would have to be in Valencia - one restaurant we went to we ordered some lamb. Little did we know they'd bring the fillets out and let it cook/sizzle next to us on a charcoal grill while they went off to serve other customers . Paella there is delicious too. Culture: For UK, Liverpool - beautiful city with so much historic and modern culture to it. Non-UK, it would be Barbados/Jamaica - again lots of history but everyone is very friendly there (apart from the American tourists); so much to learn for such small islands. Nightlife: Liverpool, Leeds or Newcastle. Hard to pick. History: London. Constantly fascinated by what some of the non-tourist places have to offer. Cleanliness: Bath. No pun intended, but the city is very well-kept. Natural beauty: Biscarosse, near Bordeaux in France. Dune-du-Pilat, in particular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Tommy Posted December 21, 2022 Moderator Share Posted December 21, 2022 So in all seriousness. Places we have been to, right? Food: Croatia/Bosnia Culture: Malta. Such an interesting melting pot of cultures and languages, considering how often that island was occupied. I mean the Maltese language is basically a mixture of Italian, English and Arabic. Nightlife: There I'd say Düsseldorf. Our Altstadt is called "Die längste Theke der Welt" (The longest bar in the world). Although, I don't really like to go there as the crime rate has been through the roof in recent years. History: Again, Malta. Cleanliness: Chester was quite clean. Natural beauty: Croatia. The Dalmatian coast with the mountain/ocean combo is breathtaking. Every time I came out of my hotel I looked at those mountains in awe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From an old politics forum know a retired ex-soldier who was in Iraq yet spent a lot of time in Germany. They went for a drink one time in a local town and one of their number tried chatting with a girl and then it kicked off massively. Six of them against 8 locals. He got knocked out pretty quickly by a punch from behind. Police were called though no arrests as no-one wanted to press charges. Word on the street was the Germans they fought with were criminals.

The only places we steered clear of and were banned by our Regiment were Turkish bars, I guarantee you that if you sneaked in one for a pint you would either get into a fight or even get stabbed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Food: Greece, absolutely love Greek food. Culture: going to have to be Greece again, love how relaxed some of the little fishing ports are. The food in these places is something else. Fresh fish, salads... its just amazing. Nightlife: I've been to Amsterdam with the lads god knows how many times and it's easily my favourite night outs of my life. History: London, love my countries capital, so many sites to see that makes it so much better than any other city for history. Cleanliness: Not to sure to be honest, I'd say the America, been a few places never scruffy or dirty. Natural beauty: I'd go for the few times I've been to Egypy in their ocean, took some boat trips in the Ocean around the coral and felt like I was blown away by the sea life and coral and vast ocean around me. I actually had to take a moment on the water to actually believe what I was seeing underneath me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
