Pakistan was worse than Iraq and Afghanistan. If just because of the weather. Same heat but add in humidity and golf ball size mosquitos. Life doesn't mean much there.

I spent almost 4 months in India for work. I saw how cheap life is there. Sadly it looks like some of our major cities are turning into what I saw there India, for sure.

I know a chick that was born and raised in NJ but her family moved to Haiti (they're Haitian) when she was in middle school. This was before Haiti fell on really hard times (her words) and she said she preferred Haiti to NJ. Which I find hilarious.

A favela next to an industrial plant I had oversight for, in Brazil. Open ditches of sewage from humans, pigs, chickens, dogs and cattle. Kids running around naked and filthy. Houses were tar paper, pallets, cardboard and tin cobbled together.

East St Louis, Illinois has to rank way up there. I didn't see anywhere in Vietnam that was as bad. Yeah.

Monclova, MX was pretty bad.
Of the places I’ve been to in the US, Detroit. Flint might be worse, but Detroit is sad and scary. That it was once called the ‘Paris of the Midwest’ is unbelievable to me.
Stayed at a Super 8 outside Savannah once for work that, looking back, has no peer in terms of worst place I’ve ever stayed.

India. Spent two months there for work in 2014. Nothing in the US comes close. Poverty like you can't fathom but the amazing thing is they all seem happy. I guess what you don't know you don't know.

Nigeria is pretty nice, it makes Mexico seem like a 4 star country.

I usually don’t call places sh$tholes on account of I ain’t been anyplace that didn’t have some good people in it.
That being said; Memphis, Newark, the Bronx.
Rio Bravo TX, on the river on our side east of Laredo.
Cuidad Miguel Aleman, Nuevo Laredo, Juarez - all on the Mex side.
Place most gone downhill between two visits thirty years apart - Pine Ridge. , at it weren’t sweetness and light the first visit.
An old trailer park maybe two miles from my house. Junkies shooting up in broad daylight, numerous homeless illegals walking around.
Laredo, Quemado, Eagle Pass, Del Rio, El Paso? I’ve known too many good people from those places.

Detroit has some bad areas for sure where I've prayed I didn't get a flat tire. Nassau looked pretty nasty on the walking tour route. I couldn't wait to get back on the boat.

West Virginia...
Never ever move there... it is horrible.
Seriously... Stay where you are.
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.
