USA, and the other "multicultural" countries. Beacuse they've erased their culture. They're generic, boring, creatively dead, and have nothing of depth to say. I would rather visit a Slavic country (The Cradle of Bravado and Empty Threats).
@Skimt There's plenty of culture in the USA. Big cities are obviously more diverse, but there's plenty of local cultures for each state. Ever heard of the Amish?

India. One of my clients recently went on a trip there. Not as a tourist, but for work. Let me summarize what she said:
- there were dozens of bugs living in her hotel bed and sheets, and the hotel staff refused to do anything about it
- they were burning corpses just outside the hotel
- people stopping in the middle of the sidewalk to take a shit (it's not a meme, it's what they do there)
- no hygiene ethics in restaurants - they take dirty plates and "wash" them in dirty water for 2 seconds (no soap)

It's a terrifying country to visit. Those people are living like animals.

too true. I am from a place with an extremely large Amish population. The things I grew up eating, celebrating, and being around were definitely older German influence type of culture

can't believe i haven't seen it mentioned yet - egypt. one of the biggest shitholes on the planet to visit as a tourist, most of your day is spent matrix-dodging scams and god forbid if you're a white woman. morocco is also basically like egypt-lite but the culture is more manageable

if you ever visit egypt and someone asks if you want to travel by limousine for cheap, expect them to bring a camel around the corner called limousine. there are just so many classics you can encounter there, sitcom-worthy

Outside of unsafe/uncomfortable places, I’d have to go with Kazakhstan/other turkic central asian countries. Most of them seem like relatively fine places to live, but there’s nothing driving me to go there.

I don't feel comfortable when visiting Middle East, because I don't share Islamic values. I also sort of dislike India due to some hygiene reasons.

@BigBoyAdvance Did your friend visit Bihar or something? India is vastly different from state to state. Kinda like europe. Backward states need a lot of work to be done but high capita states aren't like that.
Is all of USA like this? Pretty sure it's not. It's just the bad areas.

Basically any middle eastern/north african country. I've visited Egypt when I was still a kid. And the people are so clingy there to the point that I'd never want to return. They basically see you as a walking bag of money and keep trying to get something from you. My sis went to Marrakech quite some time ago and said it was even worse over there.

Kinda sad about it though, cause they have a long and interesting history and beautiful landscapes, but it's not worth it in my opinion.

Also any country that's under a dictatorship/religious regime.

So...
Australia, because of the creepy-crawlies and insanely venomous jellyfish in the seas around it. When the giant spider (huntsman) is something you want in your house.... yeah. Also their censorship laws are terrible, it's really bad to be an anime fan there.
Canada, mostly because the censorship is, once again, terrible, like people get arrested for reading hentai, and not even any of the turbo-degenerate subgenres, just plain old hentai. Still recall of a case of an anime fan reading Nanoha x Fate yuri doujin getting literally jailed for years, because he read a doujin. Just... why?
The whole Indian subcontinent, mostly because the people are ridiculously bad when it comes to some basic decency. Africans at least use the bathroom when there's one around, Indians, Pakistanis etc. don't, even when the state builds one for them. Pakistanis are also the most virulent Islamists on the planet, to the point they'd lynch you if you even dare to say you're Christian. Also the scams, especially in India.

Charged were dropped for the guy guilty of importing the Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha doujinshi (but it cost him up to $44,000 in legal costs), and a man got sentenced to 60 days of prison for watching hentai.

This quote was quite funny:

So I stood there and watched my previously new books get examined page by page, thumbed through and pressed open because it was assumed if I read manga, that I was a sex offender.

There is a good reason my mother's side of the family supports the Quebec independence movement. It's a fact that the federal government in Ottawa is destroying Quebec from its core.

It's a bit of a cheating answer because I already went, and was actually really hyped to visit for a lot of years, but I would NEVER return to France. I visited both Bordeaux and Paris, and both stinked so bad. It was literally unbearable because not only the streets, but also some locals had really, really bad smell.
My family didn't had much trouble, but I'm specially sensitive to strong smells, so it was truly horrible. Both cities were really beautiful, but I couldn't enjoy them as much as I wanted because of it.

Technically, yes. There are laws on the books that prohibit "obscene" drawings, and even roleplay which the state might find abhorrent -which is a literal thought crime and an utter contradiction to freedom of speech. But as far as arrests go, I've only heard of people who try to import to the country getting arrested. Still stupid, but the state controls the borders, so what do you expect? This should give a general idea of the kind of things that get affected.



Meusnier mentioned the more well known cases for manga in particular, so I don't need to reiterate there.
