Whats your worst vacation you ever had?

Definitely when I drove to Berlin, the drive there was great and I saw some funny shit but once I got into Berlin it all went downhill. A homeless man wouldn't stop begging me for chicken at KFC, I got charged 20 euros for a piece of shit steak the size of a phone, I got a speeding fine because I didn't know the Autobahn ended, the Hotel was not soundproof and worst of all, I got told 'Wir haben keine Eis' at 3 different McDonalds when I was craving a McFlurry

edit: and it smelt like dogshit in the city centre
edit2: no one fucking speaks English????
 
London, booked some hotel via booking that had “pay at arrival”. After arriving after midnight their card terminal “didn’t work” and they demanded cash payment before allowing us in our rooms. Had to run mile and a half to the nearest atm in some skedgy neighbourhood to withdraw over £500 and ran back hoping not to get robbed by al the unsavory types that seemed to be looking at me withdrawing the money.
 
I went to a Pontins once when I was a kid, The crowning features being the fucking 5 foot deep ditch completely unmarked on the grass in front of our room. I've stayed in fucking caravans better than that prison camp.
 
Egypt is overrated you gotta travel to Iraq now that its safe
What is it with you and recommending everyone to go to Iraq all of the time

My worst trip was to Huelva because it's ugly, the beaches suck, and there were jellyfish
 
London was the worst, especially the few English people getting in the way of my tour of Pakistan.

Jokes aside, there were a lot of scammers, abusive people and witnessed a lot of rudeness. Saw scammers take money from Asian tourists when I was eating my meal in Chinatown. I sat down on a traveler child's leg on the underground after he refused to give the seat next to him and he also said to me: "pog mo thain" meaning kiss my arse in Irish, thinking I wouldn't understand. People in the shops were insanely rude as well.

Not sure if the food and museums were worth it.

I wouldnt necessarily say it was the worst trip ever but it certainly was one of the most dramatic. We took a 1week trip to mallorca and it started off great then out of nowhere my mom and sister got into this big fight over something small and i cant remember what. After that it was just scuffed. Everybody was kind of doing their own thing and the whole time we were all lowkey separated from each other. There werent many big family meals or group outings like we planned it was just awkward and weird. But yet we still managed to have fun in our own little ways. Like random chill moments with whoever you happened to be with that day. Mallorca is very pretty to not just not to enjoy at least a little (i recommend). We all only really talked again when we were on the plane back home and even then it was cold. So yeah not terrible but not the family bonding trip we wanted.
 
Ah shit, here we go.

I was about 8-9 years old and when on holiday in France I got acute appendicitis.

So we were on a campsite ish (More like glamping) and went to the front desk to get a French translator for the hospital (this is ~2008 no google translate).

When we arrived it was about evening and the real doctor already went home. When we went inside the room to get examined our translator flat out just passed out as she could not handle hospital smell (like wtf why would u go with then?!?!). The "night" doctor examined me and determined it wasn't too bad and they could look tomorrow. I was a very active/moving kid and I was laying still from the pain not moving at all which was a very bad sign, but try that in a foreign language, u kinda just didnt speak much beyond "can I have a baguette please" so u can't communicate that a 9 year old is in insane pain if it is not crying.

I was placed in a room, but first a got a nurse that was still in very early stages of her career (like student) and tried to put a drip in. She fucked up so bad I felt it through the local anesthesia they put on. Anyway, that evening they drove me twice in an ambulance to another location in an attempt to find a room for kids so I could be operated the next day. I was put in a room with my mom and we slept the night.

The next morning at 7 am, my mom went to the toilet and at that exact moment the doctor came by and I was RUSHED into surgery due to the severity of the case that never should have been left until the morning. My mom wasn't there when I was rushed into the surgery room and I was in a room full of French doctors and nurses and I got put under anesthesia in a foreign language and I never ever had been under before, it felt like I just couldn't breath anymore at one point and I only saw my mom when I came out of surgery.

You would expect I would go home the day after, but nope! They tried giving me powder antibiotic that I just barfed from instantly and we could not communicate that to the nurses due to the language barrier and had to wait another full day until an English speaking doctor came that day and we could explain it to and get liquid antibiotics. Finally I was able to return to the campsite and "enjoy" the rest of my holiday.

Once back in the Netherlands, we found out they fucked something up with the wire to close the wounds as they didn't dissolve properly and infected causing me to have another level of pain and they had to forcefully pull out the wire out of the infected tissue.

Later on I learned usually they make an incision of about 1-2cm to remove an appendicitis but mine was about 4-5 cm as what I assume is due to the possibility of it already having ruptured or was about to rupture. Due to me being 9 years old at the time the scar grew when i got older and now is about twice the size, meaning about 8-10cm.

tl:dr So yeah, France is a beautiful country with amazing landscapes but their medical centers suck ass (back then), would not recommend to go to the hospital there.

Also I am surprised I did not get PTSD for hospitals from it.
