Sydney number 1?

Even their airport staff are terrible.



If you want to stick out, go to China.

People literally stop you in the street if you have blonde hair and ask for your photo with them.

Keep in mind, most assume you're American.

Haha dead set, I'll have to let them know it WWF nothing to do with then rather it was their rangerness.

I heard the same about the French and brushed it off.....till I got there.

I've heard that redheads are treated like gods in Sth America. Seriously, as in people stop and stare.

I never had a problem in France, heard all the stories and never found it to be true.

Dégage


White people do :lol:

Sydney? Friendliest?? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Sydney is the rudest city I've ever been to.

ITT: I'm not from the most recognised Australian city :(

Shit hey! I'll have to do some research for myself as to this day they still rave on about it.

I tried my best to be polite there as I had heard the stories but they simply were rude and brash. In fairness, it was not all of them but the majority especially when you get off the tourist track.

My favourite part was when I walked into a convenience store and I was looking at the different soft drinks and which one to buy. I must of been looking at them too eagerly or something as she started going off at me and kicked me out! Lol that did it for me.

Thought Sydney people were a bunch of miserable bastards tbh. Personally I'd rate Budapest and Cardiff as hands down the most friendly and welcoming types.

lol I'd rate the backstreets of Japan higher than Sydney.

I think it's gotten worse in the last couple of years but it wasn't great back then either. I know quite a few ex-pat Venezuelans and they often talk about how dangerous it is in Caracas. I think anyone that's middle to upper class there is more of a target than tourists but some of things they tell me, I wouldn't be taking my kids there any time soon! The country itself looks beautiful though, hopefully they can sort out their problems.

Try to speak a bare minimum of French when you are there and you will have a completely different experience from your normal tourist yob.

Tbh I find the people of Brisbane, Melbourne and Adelaide (except for Elizabeth, place is a whole) friendlier than the people of Sydney.

it was about 2 years ago. They did a Sth American holiday.

I think most of Sth America you have to be careful with pickpocketers and petty thieves but he (and his missus) loved it.

And they are both red haired Aussies that would of stuck out like sore thumbs too :lol:

How long ago did he go? Venezuela's economy is crumbling and all sorts of lawlessness has broken out in Caracas. People probably aren't the friendliest because they trust nobody.

Of course, Sydney is number 1 :d

The unfriendliest cities are on the list too, and whilst I haven't been to them all, I have been to Cannes in France and it is spot on! Actually the French and France all round are just f***wits.

Mate has been to Caracas in Venezuela and he loved it there though?
