Wherever we shouldn’t go – DiePresse.com
The vacation is approaching? Folk travel warnings on Tikkok suggest that it is better to stay at home. Because it is bad everywhere.
The travel season heads towards its climax, the plans are forged, but the suitcases have not yet been packed. Let’s go in ourselves: do we really want that? Leave the familiar surroundings, break out into the distance, into the unknown? We should all ask these questions, no matter where we live in Austria. Except in St. Pölten. Because: « Baden should have become the state capital. St. Pölten really has absolutely nothing to offer. » The St. Pöltner themselves don’t see it any other way: « I live here, but only shopping online. » A transit can also be too much: « The worst main train station in Europe, one stole my liver chisel. »
Such urgently formulated travel warnings can currently be found on the Tikok profile of a certain Kilian Kroh. « Be honest, » the travel influencer asked his follow-up, which followed this reputation in droves and in blunt diction. The overall picture is disastrous.
It starts with our next, favorite goals, at the seaside resorts on the Adriatic, on the « Austrian Ballermann ». A user with the artist name « Oida » calculates with Jesolo: « I have never seen such an ugly beach, and the sea has stunk extremely. I really can’t understand the people who go there voluntarily every year. » What support finds: « The sea there is really very ugly. » Someone is « still traumatized » by Rimini, and Bibione hardly does better: « Expensive food and Austrians and Germans everywhere » – a skull is attached.
Paris is « ranted high 10 »
So continue. Paris? Better not: « Rapid high 10 », or more precisely: « There is a tourist area that is very pretty, but as soon as you are somewhere else … and I find the rat problem so disgusting at night. » Lisbon has other pitfalls: « I almost died when he had been slipping over this 70,000 m high hill », which comes up with deep understanding: « I feel Boah 1000%. »
Switch to the Atlantic? A missed move. On Gran Canaria there is « everything dried up and brown ». Madeira is greener, but « rain every day from noon, road 2 m wide, no beaches and yet all holidaymakers sunburn of death ». In Bulgaria, the kitchen struggles on the stomach: « Simply 10 out of 14 days badly abdominal pain and heartburn. » The same thing reports from Rhodes: « Eating was terrible, other guests were terrible », at all « maximum unfriendly people ». But if the food is « really a wild experience », this can also lead to a gratifying one for some: « Had 3 kilos down in 13 days. »
The further you travel, the greater the danger. Bad threatens in Australia: « I was beaten green and blue by a kangaroo. Had to go into the emergency room. Never again. » It is clear: we stay at home. Here we are bitten at a maximum of the rabid dog of a murmurous Viennese. We can handle that. Or, Oida?
