This is a question Travel

I've had guns pointed at me in many different countries, sometimes even by our own side. I've also sat on my own on a beach on a desert island, which was nice because nobody was trying to shoot me. Tell us your tales of foreign travel.

Thanks to SnowytheRabbit for the suggestion

I once went to kidderminster
With a population in excess of 55000 Kidderminster is the largest of the Wyre Forest Towns lying about 4 miles north east of both Bewdley and Stourbridge straddling the River Stour. Kidderminster`s Carpet Museum charts the history of carpet making from ancient times up to the present day. The old commercial area of "Weavers Wharf" has been redeveloped in recent years and the Grade II listed Springfield Mill has been converted into shops etc. as part of the development. Kidderminster was the birthplace of Sir Rowland, born in 1795, who developed the modern postal system and is most famous for inventing the "Penny Black" postage stamp. There is a statue of him outside the Town Hall. Another notable citizen was the Puritan minister who began his ministry in Kidderminister in 1641, he preached for unity among the Protestant churches. The racing driver Peter Collins was born in the town in 1931, he was one of Britians greatest Formula One drivers. Kidderminster has a great wealth of Georgan and Victorian buildings but also, as the Weavers Wharf development shows, has it`s feet very much in the present. It has two Safeways. Enjoy music? Why not listen to The Wyre, 105.5 FM, for the best in 80's, 90's & Now music.

Kidderminster is also
home to Kidderminster Harriers FC, and Robert Plant from Led Zeppelin lives around there and can sometimes be seen at the Harriers or drinking in local pubs.

It is home to several very average curry houses. In fact, it has often been noted by locals that Kidderminster is pretty much the only town of its size in the Midlands where it is impossible to get a good curry.
