I don't know about Belgium but what I hate about where I live:
The temperature of the winter
The length of the winter
The taxes (25% VAT even on old winter clothes being shipped from mom)
The taxes on the shipping
The fees on the taxes
The taxes on the fees on the taxes
What the taxes get used for (I won't say it)
The lack of nice sunsets _________________ http://www.findportablesolarpower.com/

The Traffic.
I live in Beijing which have developped public traffic. However when the time is on/off duty, there are too many people on the buses and too many buses on the road. Perhaps the subway is a good choice, however there are also many people, you can go somewhere in time. _________________ Top Destinations in China | China Cities | Specials in China |

I don't like my City as much as I used to. (Leicester)
There seems to be no progress in our city. Any large new developments are for shopping centres and not really much else.
Whilst I do love the UK, I hate the cold winter weather.
If I could live somewhere else I would choose Asia, as I find the Asian Cities exciting and Vibrant. New developements and Progess everywhere.[/b] _________________ Travel Accessories from tripneeds.com! |

the worst part of Vegas is also it's only reason for being...... tourists, to many people coming here, all the time ... and i don't mean the ones who fly in, but the ones who drive here and now have access to outside the tourist areas ( strip, downtown)... esp those who forget they are not in Kansas anymore ........ You know who You are...  _________________ A Picture says a thousand words - Las Vegas in Pictures |

| I hate that people think they know Americans by what they read in the news. It's wrong to judge any people by what they read. |

I agree to a large extent, but isn't it also true that so many Americans judge by what they read or worse, they just judge by clips they watch on TV? _________________ Online Education :: Career Development Forum

Politics, living standards (not the best), sometimes really depressive people, sometimes depressive weather (grey-damp weather which we have in autumn and now in winter, too), public transport. Oh, and stupid, hostile, annoying shop assistants. _________________ Carpool

Yeah, the worst thing is rain. I can't understand people in the UK. When I was younger, sometimes I liked rainy weather. I liked brit pop music, and somehow I identified with rainy weather
And what about China? _________________ Carpool

hey guys. my name is alexei
Dallas, Texas.
things i hate about it is pretty much everything. i moved from moscow about 6 years ago and i am still not used to it and i do not think i ever will. its boring, people are friendly but not in the sincere kind of way. its def not europe. There is nothing to do or to see really, the nightclubs are lame, most geared for hip hoppers/ there are some european style clubs but those are mostly exclusive. did i mention museums, there are none. there are maybe 2 or 3 that are kind of nice. other than that its a plainly dull city with people that think that they are better than the rest. most people in dallas think countries like switzerland or netherlands are located in the norther part of the state. i am going to move out of this culture less dump pretty soon.
sorry for bashing dallas is anyone is from here. that is just my opinion. |

Probably the rain! It's been raining non stop. There could be more attractions here though, it can be a bit boring. _________________ [Cheap car hire prices for all your destinations]{Blog} |
