Worst place to Visit/Live in

Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea

                      

With over 115 new HIV and AIDS cases diagnosed every month at Port Moresby General Hospital, the capital of Papua New Guinea isn’t at the top of this list for much except being the “worst place to live in the world,” according to a 2004 vote by the Economist’s Intelligence Unit. With the population expanding at an uncontrollable rate, employment levels have rocketed, income levels have plummeted and cases of rape, robbery and murder have reached new heights (the murder rate is 23 times that of London)

Gang members, known as raskols, have been known to carry out bank robberies with M16 machine guns, hijack cars wielding machetes and, in one case, drag an injured nurse from a car wreck to rape her.
