It’s depending upon everyone's perception. If anyone has bad experience as they have mentioned the name of country they will give negative to countries. When you visit a country you will see the different thing there and you will enjoy and remember everything despite of your experience.
People are just naming cities. If the list is to include foreign cities then I choose: Venice, Italy
Otherwise, none, because a whole country is way too big to rule out over one bad experience. (I understand it for places where people may have been stationed in a war or something though)
Interesting you mention Venice. We were in a glass shop looking at their wares and started to leave when the proprietor said "Come back when you have some money."
Ditto. Venice, Italy to be precise. My wife wants to go. I told her "It's dirty, smelly, and crowded. There are TONS of places I'd rather go than visit there again. It's NOT romantic at all."
At lunch, people at the conference would speak French, leaving us out of the conversation. They could all speak English. In fact, sometimes would ask us in English how it felt to not be able to understand what was being said.
I would have replied back "Doesn't bother me at all. I figured you weren't talking about anything important anyways."
My son and I spent two weeks in Cuba and I would never go back. Tourism is undeveloped, so, for example, we took an expensive tour to the sugar cane fields and processing plant. A train ride back to our starting point was included. There was one man with a machete in the sugar cane field who showed us how to cut the cane, the processing plant was shut down but there was a sugar cane juice machine, and the train was out of commission. We took many excusions. All of them promised great things but did not deliver. The Cubans had the impression that it was nothing for us to drop $100 every time someone filled our water glasses. There seemed to be a very distorted perception about what $100 means to people that live outside of Cuba.
