1.Beware of the camel rides. Some riders will take you out into the desert for the “best pictures” only to threaten you once you’re out there.

Note: Also, be careful of common scams. For example, it’s $15 to get on the camel but $200 to get off again.

2.Yellowstone, United States

In spite of numerous signs, every year tourists go missing, and quite often the reason is because they wandered off the path. The worst part about wandering off the path even a tiny bit is that many times the path winds through boiling lakes (yes, they are really boiling). Falling into one of these boiling lakes is a sure death sentence, and it happens more than you would like to think.

3.Tokyo,Japan

Beware of bars that lure in tourists with offers of “free drinks.” Some of these bars are run by the Yakuza, an international organized crime syndicate that originated in Japan. Perhaps not surprisingly, you will leave the bar without your money, and the police will probably not do anything about it.

Interesting! Pls continue

4.Disneyland, California

There are still some real human bones on display as part of the Pirates of the Caribbean exhibit.

Note: There used to be full skeletons but those were eventually replaced with fake skeletons. For the most part.

Kwontinue

5.Mount Fuji, Japan

Near the base of Mount Fuji, there is something known as the “Suicide Forest.” It’s basically just that – a forest where people go to commit suicide. It is such a popular suicide spot that gangs are rumored to pay homeless people to go to the forest and loot the bodies of people who have killed themselves.

Note: We are not exaggerating. The suicides here are quite a problem for the Japanese government. They have even posted numerous signs around the forest as a last ditch effort to prevent them from killing themselves.

6.Washington Square Park, Philadelphia

Beneath the soil is a mass grave from the American Revolutionary War. Many victims of yellow fever were also buried there.

Wow!

Mount Everest, Nepal

As you get near the peak, you will find the bodies of numerous climbers that have died over the centuries. Unfortunately there is no way to bring their bodies down because they are located in the “death zone.” This is where there is not enough oxygen for the human body to properly function. If you stop to even sit down, you will likely never get up again (that is what happened to many of these climbers). Even more unfortunately, their friends had no choice but to continue down the mountain without them.

Everywhere on Earth

For this first one, we want to make a public service announcement to the westerners here. When you go to any tourist attraction in the world and see disabled beggars, child beggars, blind beggars, old lady beggars….stop. Think very carefully before giving anything to them. Quite often there is a lot going on behind the scenes. Those beggars are put in that position by gangs who collect the money they make. Giving that child a few coins only encourages even more children to be abducted/trafficked and very possibly deliberately disabled (eyes gouged out, etc).

Note: Yes, Slumdog Millionaire is based on very real and very sad truths.

The Louvre, Paris

A lot of the art in this museum was stolen from countries that were invaded by Napoleon.

Seen. Noted. Okay. This thread should make frontpage. It's both enlightening and entertaining.

Wow. Good to know.
This should make front page oooooo.

Cc: Lalasticlala

Dubai, United Arab Emirates

On the surface, it’s a bright and shiny modern city, but beneath the surface, there’s a lot of shady stuff in the works. For one, the city was (and still is) basically built using cheap slave labor from Asia.

Note: While this is coming to international attention more and more, there are still many tourists who do not know about this.

Hmmm.

Brilliant info!

This should be on the front page

CASINO

Not everyone has a fun time gambling, and more people than may you realize actually commit suicide at these establishments. Many casinos have suicide teams that are tasked with getting bodies out without the public seeing them and then cleaning up the mess

Nice one Royalblak007


Lalasticlala......I know it won't fùcking make FP

IT AINT SNAKE

Twaci:
Hmmm.

Brilliant info!

This should be on the front page

seconded my princess. pls twaci we need to talk

BHUTAN

One of the happiest countries in the world has a recent history (80’s and 90’s) that is mired by kicking about 20% of its population (ethnic Nepalis). Although this has led to international condemnation, many tourists don’t realize the dark side of Bhutan’s recent political and social situation

THE EIFFEL TOWER,PARIS

As of this writing, 349 people have committed suicide here by jumping off or hanging themselves.

Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri

This man-made lake was created by impounding the Osage River. Incidentally, the water flooded numerous cemeteries. If you think about it, it doesn’t take too much imagination to picture what lies beneath the water.

obiorathesubtle:
very good piece, but lalasticlala would rather move the boobs of one degenerate or the bleached skin of toke makinwa or one giant anaconda to front page, instead of this.


Good piece bro

Thanks Boss★

Nu‘uanu Pali, Hawaii

While this lookout is a popular tourist spot, and it is certainly very beautiful, it is also the spot where King Kamehameha’s army forced the Oahu army off the cliffs. Thousands of men fell to their deaths.
