Worst Overland Journey Riding in the back of a truck on a twisty, bumpy, dirt road in Jamaica’s Blue Mountains — while sitting near a guy who was stoned and waving a machete.
Worst Tourist Trap Rock City. Maybe Fairyland Caverns just aren’t my thing.
Worst Scolding Received At a J-league soccer game in Osaka, we were fortunate enough to be invited into the home team’s cheering section. After a poor showing by the home team in the first half, we were among those chewed out by the leader for apparently not cheering well enough.
Worst Meal Vegemite in Australia. How does anyone eat that stuff?
Worst Encounter with a Resort Entertainer After spending 36 hours getting from Los Angeles to Aruba, I only wanted to have a drink and go to sleep. I made the mistake of having the drink by the pool and I ended up being pulled on stage as part of a limbo show.

Wow, nobody but nobody could drag me into a limbo show. Terrible, ugly things would have occurred poolside had I been in your place.
Vegemite is delicious! I cant get enough of the stuff, best served with thick layer on butter on fresh crunchy bread! mmmm
