What the hell? I am not a snow skier but I have seen it on TV. Seems I remember they were skiing <strong><em>down<\/em><\/strong> the mountain. I believe to do this you need to be<strong><em> up<\/em><\/strong> the mountain. The author goes on to say pretty much every city in Colorado sucks and the only good thing is the State legalized marijuana. Maybe the author should quit getting stoned and asking \u201cDude, where\u2019s my car?\u201d and open his eyes. Let\u2019s see, numerous historical sites, Mesa Verde National Park, along with four other National Parks, Three National Monuments, one national monument and preserve, 11 national forests, 40 state parks and three national recreation areas. Not to mention, outdoor sports, historical towns and more. Wait, your right, there is nothing to do here might as well avoid this place<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 20px;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em><strong>Next on the hit list Costa Rica<\/strong><\/em><\/span>. Well why not? We have avoided a State so might as well take on a country. The author suggests Hawaii instead. From what I gather it is because Hawaiians speak English instead of Spanish and the roads are better. Well I am pretty sure Cedar Rapids has those qualities also, so I say, Screw Costa Rica, let\u2019s all go to Cedar Rapids. However, if you must go to Costa Rica then you will experience a place that is estimated to contain 5% of the world\u2019s biodiversity. That\u2019s fancy language for plants, animals and other critters. Also other boring stuff like diving, surfing, volcanoes, forests, outdoor activities, pre Columbian old stuff and oh that\u2019s right, people speaking Spanish.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 20px;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em><strong>Next the Caribbean.<\/strong><\/em><\/span> Why stop at States and Countries? Let\u2019s avoid a whole damn chain of countries. In here the author states the islands are expensive, depressingly violent, corrupt and dysfunctional. Really, all the islands suck? White sand beaches, clear blue water, lots of booze, good food and girls in bikinis. This guy is hard to please. Let\u2019s see if I remember my Geography. Antigua and Barbuda, Bahamas, Barbados, Cuba, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Saint Barthelme, Saint Martin, Grenada, Haiti, Jamaica, Aruba, Curacao, St. Maarten, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago, Anguilla, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Montserrat, Turks and Caicos and Puerto Rico. Forgive me if I forgot a few. But if you cannot enjoy even one of these islands then I don\u2019t think they are overrated but maybe you have a problem. That\u2019s like going to a Vegas buffet and saying all the food sucks and there is nothing to eat.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 20px;\">But it\u2019s not just one guy who likes getting stoned saying this.<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 20px;\">Lots of people are on the overrated bandwagon.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 20px;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\">TruTv <\/span><\/span><\/span>decided that <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Prague <\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/span>\u00a0looks pretty much like every other European city but it is dingy, drab, has pickpockets and, no here it comes, wait for it, Tourists. For a minute I thought they were talking about New York City. Unlike New York, Prague has a couple of pretty cool castles. Prague also has some great outdoor cafes, Jewish area founded in the 13th century and other boring old architectural buildings. I spent about a month in <a title=\"My Quest for Enlightenment\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thetravellingfool.com\/my-quest-for-enlightenment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Prague <\/a>and had a blast. I used it as a jumping off point to see a lot of the Czech country side. Maybe I am just not as worldly as some.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 20px;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em><strong>Last but not least we have the Pyramids<\/strong><\/em><\/span>. According to the author there is no need to brave political uprisings and ride a camel just to see some big triangles. I have nothing to say about this. What do you say to stupid?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 20px;\">Reading these articles had led me to believe that there are no bad places just bad tourists. Really dumb, bad tourists. It\u2019s as if some people expect to be catered to and entertained every minute of the day. Last time that happened to me I was in a crib with one of those plastic mobiles over head.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s true with the exception of maybe war zones or crime ridden neighborhoods I can\u2019t think of any place that is bad to visit but lately there have been a lot articles about how this place sucks or don\u2019t ever visit here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2776,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"full-width-content","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[256,562],"tags":[356,358,359,360,361,363,355,223,362,357,227],"class_list":{"0":"post-2775","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-slider","8":"category-travel","9":"tag-bad-places","10":"tag-bad-tourists","11":"tag-bad-vacations","12":"tag-carribean","13":"tag-colorado","14":"tag-costa-rica","15":"tag-over-rated","16":"tag-prague","17":"tag-pyramids","18":"tag-tourist-traps","19":"tag-tourists","20":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>There Are No Bad Places Just Bad Tourists<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Lately there have been a lot articles about how this place is bad and how this place sucks or don\u2019t ever visit this place.
