The Worst Place in the World?

Life is short, and everyone loves a good countdown list.

So why not avoid life's travel unpleasantries and check out "101 Places Not to See Before You Die" a new book and a glib response to the The New York Times bestseller "1000 Places To See Before You Die".

The travel "to-don't" list hits stores tomorrow offering a guide to some of the least appealing destinations and experiences in the world.

Here's a few book excerpts courtesy of USA Today:
  • Ibiza:
    The Spanish party isle is a great place —"for the world’s horniest youth”.
  • Beijing Museum of Tap Water:
    Unless, of course, you’re obsessed with tap water.
  • Euro Disney
    Insert bad joke here.
  • Grover Cleveland service area
    New Jersey's preeminent pit stop.
  • Mount Rushmore
    Really? Not sure why this one was included.

Other not-so-notables (or realistic, for that matter) include a North Korean gulag, Sohra, India during rainy season, and the inside of a Chinese coal mine.

So when you think you've had a bad vacation, find solace in these 101 other destinations.

It could be worse.
