Around this time next year I'll just be finishing off a ski season in Hokkaido, Japan. I expect I'll have around ~5k USD equiv. budget and I want to explore picrel area. I should probably head home to the UK around the end of august/beginning of september. Which countries should I visit, which ones should I spend the most time in and which ones should I skip? I'm especially interested in countries like Thailand and Vietnam. How should I budget if I am planning around 4 months of travelling around here on ~5k. Do I need a higher budget? Any info is appreciated.
>>2654224I'm willing to take ferries, buses and trains no problem. I can initially get into SK via Hakata > Busan ferry, explore Korea for a bit and then probably fly to whichever has the cheapest flights out of SK. Not sure where that will end up being. Is there ferry options from SK to any of the other countries on this list?
>>2654050Japan is best. Just stay there.
>>2657130I'd have already been there for 6 months at this point. I do want to see some other stuff too.
>>2657187Not worth it.
>>2657510its worth it
Planning on trying to visit Egypt in late May to early June. I know I need a visa and my passport is up to date, but is there anything else I should be aware of or reserve before going? Or is the situation in the bordering countries too intense? No itinerary yet either. I appreciate any help.
>>2655562All of it's the same, it's good
>>2655562This is where I used to get booze in Cairo:https://www.drinkies.net/They used to do deliveries to your door, back when this shit was unheard of back home. If you gave the cunt 7 bottles, you'd get a free beer, too. Used to have a nice little collection going in the hallway.Be discrete when you're carrying bottles out. Also, I was never sure whether I could drink in my hostel, so I put shit in a flask, and played it on the dl. Better not to offend anybody. Drinking in public is a huge no-no.As you can see on the site, the stuff they sell is no name Egyptian shit, produced locally. Think Heineken do the beer on license, though. (Resorts have specially tagged western booze which is dirt cheap in comparison).I remember once I was boozing with a mate in some kino bar with sawdust on the floor. He was ordering "Zibiba" which is Egyptian Ouzo. The shit is fucking rough. My mate went to the toilet, fell the fuck over, and smashed his head on the sink after a few drinks of it. Think I mentioned earlier, bring spirits in luggage (check the limit! think it's 1 or 2 bottles). It'll make an excellent gift for anybody you clock is a drinker, as good booze is a bit of a commodity around town.In other cities there are "duty free shops". Important to stock up here if you like boozing in your hotel room, or are on a Nile Cruise and don't wanna get gipped.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
Is egypt worth it just to see the ancient sites? I love the ancient history and bronze age civilizations, but I'm not particularly interested in any of the modern history. It seems like a pretty sketchy place to go to as a white american though.
>>2658142Sounds like you'll be filtered hard desu. Stay at home.
>>2650948Worst country I've ever been to. Truly horrible
What are good destinations for medical tourism? In Asia I see mainly Thailand, India, and Malaysia mentioned as having good quality of care with good prices and occasionally Taiwan. Any experiences with these or others? Seeing India surprised me, but it is talked about pretty highly from what searching I’ve done.
>>2656098Whites have more class and go to Malaysia or Korea for their procedures. Let the 3rd world go to india
>>2655757Lots of people come to Poland for dentistry, especially from Ireland and UK. On a slightly different note, I think the Norwegian government has a deal with Poland to offer courses in dentistry and medicine, and get decent gibs while they're out here.
>>2655757Turkey and costa rica. i wouldnt fuck with mexico, they dont even have potable water dor fucks sake. some places in europe but depends what youre in for. maybe korea for plastic surgery.unfortunately its cheaper but not necessarily cheap. youre still paying thousands.
>>2655908>>2655916>>2656429be aware that the quality of medical care in malaysia is hugely variablestay away from clinics where the medical staff were just trained locally or where the staff is just malays. also steer clear of any government run place.look out for private places where the staff is mainly chinese and qualified abroad or did their specialist training in the uk/usa/europe/australia. as a foreigner those are the places you are most likely to use anyway. i recommend sunway medical centre in subang jayabe aware that good quality treatment is correspondingly expensivealso be aware that every doctor you see will have lied, cheated and possibly bribed their way to get to their position
Has anyone done a BBL in Thailand? I'm guessing LATAM is best for that but they're sketchy. On the other hand it seems to me that the Asians don't have the expertise in butt enlargements. Not sure if I want to pay 200K in the US. Turkey seems sketchy too.
Whenever I look at videos of China it's just huge cities with soulless skyscrapers and smog. Concrete jungle. I've seen a video on Reddit about Chinese students in America making photos of a rainbow because they never see it in China. They were screaming in excitement. Is it so bad? Materialistic soulless cities. Imagine not seeing a rainbow in your life.Are there actually good places to live in China or is it all depressing?
>>2659143>picrelyou sound like a moron who has never woken up at 5 o 6am. it's called morning fog, you faggot. find another picture if you want "smog." it's not that hard
>>2659172That's not true at all, smog hasn't been a thing in China for more than a decade and street food vendors are a lot more regulated than they were a decade ago.A lot of cities in China are foggy because of natural reasons but pollution related fog is pretty much not a thing anymore and after going to China regularly for 10 years I only ever got sick once and I asked for it buying some random sketchy meat skewers in 2013 at 2am.
>>2659194>ummm akshually it's fog, not air pollution!Gigacope I've heard from countless chinese. Does it look like this and the air smells like shit? Yeah, that's air pollution. I think the problem stems from the fact that chinese have spent their entire lives with poor air quality and cannot instinctively tell the difference. Try growing up in a country w/ < 50 AQI and get back to me after spending a week in any chinese city
>>2659143Living in Shanghai, barely ever see smog. It's mostly blue skies.
>>2659204If you heard from countless Chinese about this then why are you asking it here? Can the mods do their fucking jobs and ban bait threads?
Ive got 5k i can use, which country should i visit to relax, also im a coomer, so sex tourism is fine, but not a big deal to me. Im thinking>Italy>romania>or somewhere in LATAM
>>2656979sorry forgot pic
>>2656979>>2656980I understand you, i only coom now because im a 30 year old single man. I use sex with multiple women to just fill the hole inside. it never fills, but it feels good. I miss just going somewhere and meeting an adventurous girl with the same heart for adventure as me. last one was when i was 25 with a new Zealand girl i hiked with in Colorado.I wasted my late 20s, during covid throwing most of my time and money away to family, times were tough, had to take care aging parents and younger siblings. I just want to live man.
>>2656795Fuck mexico and fuck mexicans. Dont trust anyone down there or even in the US. Nothing worse then a fucking latino cop.

>>2658764>sidewalks everywhere for biking>mostly grid layout>tons of places for shopping needsWhat's exactly wrong with this?
Is there anything to do in Billings Montana? I know it’s not technically Midwest but it’s still flat and next to the Dakotas.
>>2659212>sidewalks everywherewhere? certainly not on the major roads where you need to go to get anywhere, believe me I've tried, going to places like that on business and trying to leave my hotel carless, or sidewalks in those winding suburbs that purposefully lead to dead ends?>gridyou can put poop inside of a grid and it's still poop even if it's theoretically efficient>tons of places for shopping needsby car.

going to the netherlands soonany recommended places to visit?also gonna get fucked up so advice on easy to get boner pills would be helpful. can they be bought in pharmacies with no recipes?
No boner pills, but im sure in Amsterdam you can het them quite easily from dealers. Also just stay in Amsterdam. It has all the musea and architecture you want to see. If you have plenty of time or get bored in Amsterdam, visit one of the other cities like Haarlem, Leiden, Delft, Utrecht, The Hague etc.

An old friend and I are flying to Zurich on Friday, to spend about two weeks exploring the region. Current plan is to spend a few days in Switzerland before heading North by train. The only 'planned' activity is to visit a small town outside Cologne, which is where my ancestors lived before they migrated to the US in the 1850s.Besides that, we have no real plan or structure around how we will spend our time or where we will go. I am used to traveling domestically in the US, so the scale makes it seem like it would be relatively easy to see Eastern France, Belgium, and Netherlands while we are there. I'm generally interested in avoiding very tourism focused areas, and enjoying whatever the local areas have to offer. Food, drink, scenery, meeting people. I had considered looking for some live music in the cities we'll be in as a way to meet locals.My only travel outside the US was to Shanghai, which I enjoyed but was very different than I expect this part of Europe to be.Any general advice or suggestions on how to make the most of our time in the region?
Heidelberg is a must if you are in the area. Freiburg is also nice, it's a student city so it is very lively.
>>2657351It’s not really on your suggested route, and I cannot, as a local, honestly recommend Basel as a tourist destination, but your autism might also enjoy the salt works in one of our suburbs: https://www.salz.ch/enI chaperoned a field trip there with my kids’ school and was really satisfied with my experience.
>>2658989Also nice and not far from there is Colmar. Super touristy but legit beautiful.On the German side of the Rhine, I really like Freiburg (the one in BaWu, not one of ten others). Pretty, tiny little university city.
You can easily spend 2-3 days in Zurich, not the city but the surrounding area. Boat ride up to Rapperswil, Zoo Zurich is awesome, Hiking the Pfannenstil, Old town of Winterthur.Verkehrshaus in Luzern might be a thing for you, Trains, Airplanes, a total autists wet dream. https://www.verkehrshaus.ch/Lake Constanz is awesome, Bregenz and Lindau can be done in one session and is totally worth it, Konstanz is also great.While going towards Basel stop by at Augusta Raurica in Kaiseraugst. and see some roman remains. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augusta_Raurica
>>2657329If you like historical stuff and enjoy just being lazy for a while, definitely ride the Steamship on Lake Zurich, go sit in the historic salon and sip some beers while watching the scenery go by. At the far end of the lake there's Rapperswil which has a cute little old town with some famous rose gardens. Otherwise you can combine the steamship with a visit to the historic Einsiedeln Monastery, although you have to see that you can get your timetable right, the steamer only runs once or twice a day (the whole trip both ways is about 3 hours).You only need a regular ticket for the steamship and no reservation either, it runs like any other regular boat. On the website you can check if it's running and at what time (usually always the same times)

Going to bangalore for a month. What are some things I should do there? Any advice or hacks from experienced India /trv/elers?
>weed LMAOOkay but what do you actually DO there? I got a short stint during the summer, but looks like the best thing to do with your time is take a day trip into the mountains. Any other recommendations?
>>2657807>Denver has god tier public transit
>>2658267I don't often ride public transit but I thought Denvers was better than any of the west coast cities I've been to. Is it not good public transit?
>>2658528well I've never been to denver but doing some research, it has a surprising amount of lines for a city it's size but most are trams that run on roads a lot and all have at minimum 10 minute frequencies with half being 30 minute frequencies which is really bad for rail transit. Vancouver, canada only has technically 3 (though they split off at points so it could be counted as up to 5) but the frequencies are 3-5 minutes, at worst 8-10 when there are serious issues.
>>2658528It has better public transportation than most cities, but seattle mogs denver in that regard.
>>2657557Black Hawk/Central City is good for a day trip and if you like to gamble. Some decent used bookstores around Capital Hill if you like books. Black and Read West of Westminster is pretty good to shop and I want more Comics and Games around that area is worth checking out. Mile High Comics decent too. No idea what else you might be interested in since you didn't mention any hobbies or interests.
I just got back from Seattle and had my worst travel experience ever. What a miserable place. Dirty, ugly, and extremely dangerous. On my first day, I went to Pike Place and saw a crackhead taking a dump in the middle of the street. Drug users shouting and threatening people in broad daylight, and the population just walks around as if nothing is happening. I'm Brazilian and, despite agreeing that Brazil is a cursed country, I can assure you that a lot of what happens in Seattle doesn't even happen in Brazil.Every business in the city was keen on displaying LGTV++++++ and BLM flags everywhere, and everything there seems to be wrong and bad. A $20 pizza costs literally double because of some stupid regulation to pay more to delivery drivers. Not only that, I also saw a bunch of people eating French fries every single single morning (eating fried food in the morning should be a crime).What really scared me was the number of leftist freaks roaming the streets. Combine that with black people, crackheads, and homeless people, and you have the worst city on the planet. I say with absolute certainty: I would have preferred to go sightseeing in Africa than in this sewer called Seattle. Such bad vibes.
>>2658735>Such bad vibes.thisI lived there for a year, I had instant regret the first week I moved and decided I had to get out after only 1 month, but could only do it later I seriously think Seattle is built on a hellmouth or something. Everybody there is a whackjob or loser or psycho or depressed. Rampant drug use, prostitution (not the fun kind, the pitiful gross kind), homelessness, crazy bullshit in public. never going back, absolutely disgusting city and insanely expensive for what you get (nothing)
>>2658735Did you stay downtown the entire time or something? There's so much beauty around the area just leave the city jeez
>blah blah blah... in broad daylight, and the population just walks around as if nothing is happeningProbably because all that shit happens every day. People here are a fucking mess.You're here for the nature, the money, or you're insane.
>>2658818Chill, nigger. I'll give you a treat next time I visit Shitattle.
diaper don can fix it though
What are you supposed to say? I said Tourism and then he asked how long I will be staying and I said 4 weeks and he gave me a funny look but still let me in. I’m working from my laptop btw I just didn’t want to say that in case it caused me issues
>>2657183Sure, but this guy was not Norwegian. He would have been exempted from nothing.
well sir im here to leave on the cheap and eat local food hoping it'll trick my neurons into producing just the slightest amount of dopamine so i can postpone my eventual suicide just a bit longer
>>2657020Who the fuck does tourism for 4 weeks, you realize these people are trained to spot liars right?
