#1 What famous place is not worth visiting?

#2 Plymouth rock Massachusetts. Despite all the rage it's still just a rock in a cage

#3 Atlantic city Monopoly got me good

#4 According to this thread, never go to Egypt, Hollywood and Dubai. Noted

#5 Llanfair­pwllgwyngyll­gogery­chwyrn­drobwll­llan­tysilio­gogo­goch in Wales Nothing there except an Edinburgh Wollen Mills shop. Which is just silly as Edinburgh is nearly 300 miles away.

#6 Plymouth Rock! I don’t know how famous it really is outside of New England but it’s a rock that marks where the Pilgrims supposedly first landed in Massachusetts. It is quite literally just a medium sized rock with “1620” carved in it but every elementary school teacher around Massachusetts at least hypes it up for the class field trip to see a literal rock that is not big, impressive, or really historically relevant. Driving an hour on a bus to see this was the most anticlimactic thing and I would not particularly recommend.

#7 Hollywood, it's seedy and disappointing. It's full of entire industries (\*cough scientology \*cough) that take advantage of starry-eyed twits.

#8 Lands End, UK. Heralded as the 4th most disappointing attraction in the UK. It's not even disappointing enough to win an award Edit: I mean the landmark in Cornwall, not a clothing store. Deary me.

#9 Plymouth Rock in Plymouth, MA. It's literally just a small rock.

#10 Hollywood Walk of Fame. It's a sidewalk and outside of maybe big events where they may clean the ones around where photos may be taken, it otherwise is just covered in dirt from people's shoes and some are barely legible because they haven't been cleaned in ages.

#11 In 3rd grade a meteor crashed in the backyard of a kid’s house in my neighborhood. He talked about it everyday at school and said people weren’t allowed to see because NASA was collecting samples. A few days later he said we could go see but everyone had to pay $5. Me and a few friends paid him and went over his house later that day. When we got to the backyard we saw a ~3 foot deep hole that was clearly dug by a shovel. We called him out on it and he said something like, “that’s where it landed but the scientists dug around it with shovels to take samples”. Worst $5 I’ve ever spent. I have no idea where you are nowadays but fuck you, Benji.

#12 Me, an Egyptian: “Ah shit, here we go again.”

#13 Time Square on New Years Eve. Just forget it. It has \*never\* been worth it.

#14 I work close to Times Square in Manhattan. If you have an ad blocker on your computer, you will hate Times Square.

#15 Plymouth Rock. It’s a rock surrounded by a cage with a date on a shitty cold beach. That’s it. No you can’t touch it.

#16 Platfotm 9¾ in King's Cross station, London. Stupid metal statue on a straight wall, a horrible queue to taking a photo with you on it, and another hundred-meter long queue to the small and very expensive Harry Potter shop. I was there middle of the day in off-season, don't want to even
