The Places you wouldn’t like to Visit any Time Soon
This list contains some of the worst places you could possibly visit. There are lots of wonderful places around the globe many of us would like to visit but some places just aren’t worth wasting your time and money on. I dare to say that there are much more bad-looking sights around the world but that we should put our attention on making them look better and focus on the nature and man-made wealth. But if you like to be different from everyone who plans on spending a nice holiday abroad, you should visit these awful places just to spite the crowd.
1. Alnwick Poison Gardens, England
Most of the gardens in the world are usually planted with some beautiful, exotic flowers but this garden is different. In this garden only poisonous and plants for medical purposes are grown. The Alnwick Gardens have a special license that enables them to grow and nourish some highly poisonous and illegal plant species. Behind the bars of this unique garden you can find cannabis and cocoa which are kept in giant cages.
2. Room 39, Pyongyang, North Korea?
Room 39 (also referred to as Bureau 39, Division 39, or Office 39) is a secret government organization located in North Korea. Even if you would like to take a peek you wouldn’t know where to look. Nobody knows for sure where it is. Many think that the operation takes place out of the Labor Party’s building in Pyongyang. It is said that the Room 39 holds as much as $5 billion in funds and may be involved in many illegal activities.
3. The Door to Hell, Turkmenistan
Geologists accidentally found an underground cavern filled with natural gas. Actually they drilled it in Derweze in Turkmenistan in 1971. The ground beneath the drilling rig collapsed. Now there is a large hole with a diameter of about 50-100 meters. Scientists decided to set the hole on fire in order to avoid the poisonous gas to escape. Geologists had hoped the fire would go out in a few days. They were wrong. The fire has been burning ever since. This place was named The Door to Hell by the locals.
4. Asbestos Mine, Canada
Asbestos became increasingly popular among manufacturers and builders in the late 19th century. Asbestos or “unquenchable” mineral is a set of six naturally occurring silicate minerals exploited commercially for their desirable physical properties. The inhalation of asbestos fibers can cause serious illnesses, including malignant lung cancer and asbestosis. Long exposure to high concentrations of asbestos fibers is likely to cause health problems. Who would like to visit such a place? Not me.
5. Great Pacific Garbage Patch, Pacific Ocean
The Pacific Trash Vortex, is a gyre of marine litter in the central North Pacific Ocean. What is characteristic about The Patch is a high concentration of pelagic plastics, chemical sludge, and other refuse that have been trapped by the currents of the North Pacific Gyre. Imagine how it would be rowing through such a pile of garbage.
