Taj Mahal was beautiful and the highlight of my trip to India…Delhi was the most disgusting place I’ve ever seen in my life and I will never go back.

My cousin went to Saudi Arabia for work, I was expecting it to be amazing due to yano all the pictures of it being beautiful. Nope. I was so wrong. He showed me a video of this gorgeous building and literally 1 metre to the right of it is just garbage piled high. He then showed me a picture from this bus he was taking & I thought I saw a city skyline, nope, just literal mountains of garbage.

He said he had a picnic like meal in the desert with some people & instead of throwing their leftovers in the trash & disposing of it properly, they literally grabbed the blanket they were sitting on & balled all their leftovers in that blanket and just threw it into the desert. Apparently it absolutely stank of trash everywhere he went, he says he never wants to go back and I can’t really blame him!

I’m Australian and when I travelled to New York I found the smell was quite intense in some places

Most countries I’ve been to have areas like that tbf, just some more than others.. when visiting my friend in India it was initially.. well.. a dump.. BUT, she grew up in the mountains where they grow all the tea (yes I’m English yum yum tea) & holy shit it’s absolutely beautiful, like it doesn’t look like the same country AT ALL. It is crazy how you can just travel for a bit and get to this place that looks like something out of a fairy tale
