Lebanon

In my travels around the world, I have seen a lot of conventional sites and a lot of off-the-grid sites too. Besides many other new things, these experiences have made me learn that many of the great destinations for tourists are not always “undiscovered”.
Many spots have a well-deserved name for being cool destinations, and some other locations you have never heard of keep that repute for a good reason. Despite that there are many places which have gained undeserved fame for being a location you “must” see before death – but whenever I have visited them, I have felt a bit disappointment.20080924-overrated

I will tell you 9 of those today, but…

I never liked to go overly-negative, so besides telling you what is wrong with these over-rated destinations, I will also introduce one alternative for each place that is also worth seeing. And then if you have seen either the overrated one or the alternative one, you can inform me if you believe I am wrong, and also open to add your own overrated destination for everybody else to take into consideration.

Ready, now? Here we go.

  1. In Lebanon, men are legally allowed to have sex with animals, but the animals must be female.
    Having sexual relations with a male animal is punishable by death.
    (Like THAT makes sense.)
  2. In Bahrain, a male doctor may legally examine a woman’s genitals, but is prohibited from looking directly at them during the examination. He may only see their reflection in a mirror. (Do they look different reversed?)
  3. The penalty for masturbation in Indonesia is decapitation.
    (…so they’ll never know they went blind?)
  4. There are men in Guam whose full-time job is to travel the countryside and deflower young virgins, who pay them for the privilege of having sex for the first time…
