Find the Odd One Out

Top 10 "Hells On Earth":

10. Baghdad, Iraq

9. Dhaka, Bangladesh

8. Yakutsk, Russia

7. Mogadishu, Somalia

6. Chernobyl, Ukraine

5. OKLAHOMA CITY, USA (but apparently it's not as bad as...)

4. Pyongyang, North Korea

3. Bujumbura, Burundi

2. Linfen, China

1. Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea

The opening paragraph says this: While most travel brochures wax lyrical about the world’s paradises, they often leave out those cities that the industry would rather forget. Whether it’s violence, pollution or an inhospitable climate, some places just don’t function as cities in the modern world, let alone attract a throng of flip-flopped tourists through its airport security. These places are simply known as hells on earth.

So, the next time you moan about a sun-drenched resort not having poolside service, take a moment to think about how much worse your vacation would have been had you visited this lot of hells on earth.


Now, they claim that OKC is so bad because of our "weather". But come on. to say that OKC doesn't "function as a city in the modern world", you've got to be kidding me. It just makes me laugh when I think of which cities OKC is worse than.

So, for example: You would have a happier, more fulfilling life living in the radiation-enriched Chernobyl, or the war-torn Baghdad, the anarchical Mogadishu, or the bustling broken-down Siberian city of Yakutsk. Or Bangladesh, a poor place also. Words can't describe. So... i guess I'm leaving the Czech Republic and I'm gonna be moving to the epitome of sadness.
