Doesn’t have to be a city, although that would be the natural answer.

While I don't like to highlight the negative aspects of travel, the sanitation issues in Kathmandu, Nepal, were very apparent. The city is beautiful and the people are wonderful, but there is a clear waste management problem. Seeing people throw trash in the street or rivers, and having no real municipal garbage collection, can be quite a shock compared to what one might be used to. This shouldn't deter you from visiting, but it's a reality that I think travelers should be aware of and be respectful of. Every place has its challenges and acknowledging them is the first step to change.

Was about to say that. Probably the only place I saw cockroaches at the international airport, and I have a distinct memory of everything being so dusty, and the air/noise pollution from traffic was really bad. Amazing city/country though. Felt a bit like being in India, without most of the bad clichés associated with actual India
