Thread: One Star Reviews

My biggest disappointment was the Forbidden City. Ido not know why, I am not sure what I was expecting but I guess I expected morethan to just walk through a bunch of mostly closed buildings. Most of thecity is off limits and only a few buildings are open and they are just littlemuseums with stuff. But, even though I went to a popular section of theGreat Wall, that well made up the disappointment of the Forbidden City. Iwould go back to China just to see more of the Great Wall.

I vote for Tianamen Square and Forbidden City in tandem.
Cinque Terre was bottom of my star list, too. (maybe 2 stars)

"....little museums with stuff." I love it - enough said.

I know its wrong but I really wished they would have had a tank in Tianamen Square that I could stand/lay in front of for a photo. Seems the younger crowd does not know what I mean by that. But the news during the protest and the student standing ground in front of the tanks will always be what I think about with Tianamen Square.

I am generally happy to be anywhere but I had heard such wonderful things about Manzanillo and was very disappointed. The beaches were not even average and the water had yucky things constantly floating to shore. We stayed at a beautiful resort and even went over to another yet the overall experience was not great.

I only went to Times Square once and it was bright and crowded - pretty much what I was expecting when I booked a room there so I wasn't in the least disappointed.
