Hatton The Third, Count of Absurdistan, and I wish to inform you that a great fortune has been made available to me as of late, totalling US$27,000,000 (Twenty Seven Million United States Dollars).

Yap, that's right, Reader, we're touching down into controversy town once more. Today is the day we explore the worst cities in the world for tourists. Nah nah nah nah. What makes a city one of the worst in the world? Well, some are too polluted or the hassle is unreal, others are overcrowded to the point where they’re just not fun to navigate and still more are just TOO FUCKING COLD. Not all places are made equal. And some are just too hot to handle. Or maybe we’re too soft. You tell us 😉...

Some places call to the adventurous spirit more than others. They may not be as easy to get to or travel in, but sometimes that’s exactly what drives people to them. These places tend to carry a greater degree of mysticism as well. An inexplainable spiritual force surrounding them that can only be felt - never explained.
