If our discussion of the world's most boring places illustrates anything, however, it is that dullness is relative. It depends, to a large extent, on you.

One user, Bert Bretherton, sums it up honestly: "I am a 67-year-old, grumpy, twice married, twice divorced man. The space next to me – wherever I am – must be the dullest place on Earth."

Redundant and Happy puts it this way: "If you live in a small place far from anywhere, with one pub full of old men, then it will seem dull if you want a city centre party atmosphere. On the other hand, if you want peace and quiet and to live happily with your partner away from all the [loudmouths] who make our towns no-go areas in the evening, then rural living is anything but dull."

Where do you think is the dullest place son the planet?

This is so wrong.  Canada is not only beautiful and cultural, we have many amusements for children as well as adults.  Toronto Vancouver Montreal and Ottawa.  Ottawa has Winterlude and the longest skating rink in the world.  At Winterlude you will also see ice sculptures, Jacques Cartier Park in Gatineau just across the river offers fun for the whole family.  We have Niagara Falls with so much history there and lots of amusements for the kids including hotels with water parks inside.  Rocky Mountains wow; take the train through the Rockies and you will see sheer beauty.  Quebec City is full of culture and history and is fun for kids.  Look for an outdoor oven that bakes homemade bread and maple butter artists row etc. etc.  The Maritimes are exciting and very family oriented so you would find things to do.

 

Our country is wondeerful and I am so happy I grew up in this country with all the culture and history from coast to coast

The I.Q. of the people who write these articles are always in question. To generalize these countries in a paragraph demonstrates how subjective the writer is. I suppose that places like North Dakota are exciting and somehow missed this list. A good rule to follow when taking a vacation or business trip is to research the destination. Make the best of it! Hawaii itself can be boring unless you get out there and explore all that it offers. There are a long list of hidden beaches in Nova Scotia waiting to be enjoyed. Why would anyone think that London is the only place in England to explore. This article is irrelevant and should be discarded. Yes, I have been to these places and many more.
