Where is one place you've visited that you never want to visit again?

Hughenden in North Queensland. I was doing an around Oz trip by myself and two dogs, I let the dogs out for a pee just out of town. Two cops turned up and accused me for littering , I don't litter and the truck stop was covered in rubbish from years of tourists. I was thrown up against my car and beaten, with them threatening to kill me. I had to name drop as my stepdad was a well known politician and they backed off smartly. I kept driving and will never return there.
 
Wow you have been there? What was it like?
Grim....very grim. I was there for 10 days in Jan 1995. Just about everything was crumbling and/or in disrepair. The airport in Moscow looked like something out of a 1940s movie. Dangerous place, lots of street crime. We stayed at the infamous Moscow Radisson because it was owned by the Russian mob and were told we'd be safe there.
