I will travel the globe when I win the jackpot. I hope to be able to visit most every country in the world but here is my list of countries I will pass on for now and the associated reason(s):

1. North Korea - I see no good reason to visit there

2. Afghanistan - See reason for North Korea

3. Antarctica (I know that is a continent) - Nothing but ice and cold...no thank you.

4. Pakistan - They harbored OBL and SBs are a real threat...no thank you.

5. Saudi Arabia - 9/11 dude...9/11.... [ More ]

Vladivostok is an island off the Coast of Spain.

Spain???

Gee...I didn't know the Ruskies invaded Spain and renamed an island there. I know they are invading Crimea, Ukraine, but didn't know that Spain had fallen also.

And here I thought we defeated Communism...

No JD- Vladivostok is an island off the Coast of Spain.

I should have added cities as well, but l was being specific in this instance since l would like to visit places such as St Petersburg etc.

Definitive enough

Jill34786,

Maybe, maybe not. Such a disguise may draw Al Qaeda's interest and they'd hit the winner up for a huge 'donation.'

Don't know if it's urban legend or not, but some people say it's already happened somewhere.

Artist77, Jon D,

Regardless of the particular religion, there's something wrong with any fundamentalist group that wants to keep the women completely covered up but yet treat them like breeders.

A burka and some dark sunglasses might be a good disguise for a future lottery winner/artist claiming her prize

Back in the 1990's I was on vacation with my family and my mother handed the clerk her credit card to pay for a few gifts, the clerk looked at the card and responded by saying she didn't know Chevy Chase had his own bank.

For those who aren't familiar with Chevy Chase Bank, they use to be based in the DC area.

Any country that denigrates women in society is a bad country. You want to evaluate a society, see how it treats it's women.

I'd avoid any county where women are supposed to wear burkas.

I'd stay away from the Axis of Evil...plus Afghanistan/Pakistan.

Why? Because they suck!

P.S. Is Vladivostok a country

Should you win the lottery: is there a country you absolutely will not visit & why?

noise-gate — Fri, 28 Feb 2014 20:20:13 GMT

Personally: Any country hostile to America/ Americans.

I will also stay the heck away from Vladivostok- **too darn cold.
