>>2919824I like it (rode it twice yesterday) it’s just way down the list of RMCs. That might be why Six Flags is bringing in AF1 - TC is insufficient on its own. They would never have put it in Cedar Point.
I have absolutely zero sympathy for the Kings Island and Cedar Fair fanboys crying about Magic Mountain getting ArieForce One. For the better part of a decade, these same fans were perfectly fine watching smaller parks get neglected and receive scraps while their favorite parks got all the attention. Whenever smaller park fans complained, they were told to suck it up or be grateful their parks were even open.Kings Island fans in particular are some of the most spoiled fans in the industry. Imagine getting a giga coaster, new flat rides, a water park expansion, and a renovated kids area all within six years and somehow convincing yourself your park is being neglected because you didn’t get another coaster.It’s hilarious watching the same people who spent years defending corporate favoritism suddenly cry foul when they’re on the receiving end of it.Welcome to what smaller park fans have dealt with for years. The difference is, you guys are throwing a tantrum over not getting dessert after a five-course meal. Eat shit and fuck you.
>>2919840Cedar Point fanboys are worse imo. If they go 2 years without a major new coaster they're on the verge of suicide.
>>2919846They only have five good coasters anyway. The regulars know this. They call them the “big 5”.
How bad of an idea would it be for an American to attempt to move to England? I'm finishing graduate school soon, and I don't want to look for a job in the US. I've visited England 6 times, but what is it like to actually live here?My main motivation is the public transport. I absolutely fucking hate driving. It terrifies me. I don't understand why something so dangerous and so expensive is widely accepted as being a necessity for everyday life. It is ruining my life, because my country has no good public transport.Many other European countries have good public transport, but I only speak English. Would I regret moving here? I love English people, and have several close friends who live there. I would only want to live somewhere that I can actually meet people, so no rural hamlets.
>>2919828>I just cannot understand American "decadence"To explain it as concisely as possible, Americans spend money on whatever gives us more time for frivolities. Not necessarily the frivolities themselves, but potential access to them. We spend money in a way that reduces friction and therefore allows us to do something with our time besides work or chores
>>2908114>but in addition they also arrest you for watching TV without a telly license.This is normal across Europe FYI. In Germany it's called a "Radio Tax Contribution" but it's the same concept, you go to prison for not paying the tax on 'radio' (legally defined as virtually any electronic device capable of playing streamed audio these days). In Ireland the tax/licensing pays for the RTE, in Switzerland it pays for their public broadcaster, etc... the UK just confuses Americans because they called it a license instead of a tax.
>>2919828>but as we know America is the land without architectureAs "we" know? Speak for yourself, philistine. American architecture is fairly well known to anyone who spent 10 minutes reading up on the topic, it's literally the country of origin of the skyscraper
>>2908738>Lithuania is really goodIs that why they all emigrate to Germany or Sweden or France as soon as they can or...?
>>2919850the concept of stealing cable was across american television in the 90s and 00s yet apparently the idea of having to pay to watch television confuses unitedstatians. maybe it's because you need a license to do anything in america, only because they call them permits it's not the same. apparently.
Yes it does, and I'm gonna have a good time summerbumming from town to town around the mountains on these state-operated buses.
>>2919806I started off as a hobo in America because I romanticized the crust pink lifestyle. Now all my traveling is done in Asia. We're like opposites
They had nice picnic tables for smoking a bowl right inside the train station! How considerate.
But the streets outside were some of the worst I've seen lately. Tweaker hobos had built a pallet fence enclosing an entire street corner including the sidewalks. They called out homosexually as I walked by. No streetlight because evidently they stole it. Farther ahead the road was lit but it looked like a neglected Third World shithole. Yes this is a road that people drive their cars down.
So many blacks were loitering around the gas station, you couldn't even get gas because all the pumps were occupied by their cars.
I accidentally flashed a $100 for the bus driver while paying the $2.25 fare. Long baggy shirt makes people think you are carrying, and they leave you alone if you don't engage with them.
Questions That Don't Deserve Their Own Thread>also known as /sqt/ (Stupid Questions Thread)For your quick one-off questions that pertain to travel.Long or convoluted questions should get their own thread.Questions about popular destinations should be asked in any active thread about them.Previous: >>2836940New thread will be made when this one can no longer be bumped AND it reaches Page 11.
>>2913385Yeah, don't.It's boring as fuck. Basically Albania with all the cool bits removed. Only go if you really want to see what it's like yourself.Otherwise it's a standard Balkan country. Buses work fine but are slow as shit, everyone uses the Euro, eating out is probably the cheapest it gets in Europe. There's really not much to give tips about.
>>2917459I came back on Saturday. What do you mean about having the cool bit removed? Can you give some examples of your Albania experience?
>>2917463Albania has a sea, all the high parts of the Accursed Mountains, half the lake Shkoder and half the lake Ochrid. There's a bunch of castles strewn about the country if you want to see something that's not nature. Tirana, while nothing special, is infinitely more interesting than Prishtina with some funky Hoxha remnants like a sprawling underground bunker complex. The Theth-Valbona hike is absolutely stunning and the way back through Lake Komaini is awesome too.Meanwhile Kosovo is largely just a flat basin filled with an endless Albanian suburb of one-story shops. I guess you can hike around Peja a bit and Prizren is nice for a few hours, but that's pretty much it and very weak in comparison with Albania proper.
>>2917511Kosovo has nice mountains and stuff too, Tirana was more interesting to walk around that Pristina, not sure why though as I didn't do much in Tirana.
>>2914643Just be white ;)
Which places still have fun Halloween parties? Looking for a destination to travel to for the Halloween weekend.Tokyo was amazing but it got nerfed to all fuck with the restrictions in the main neighborhoods, it's honestly depressing considering how good it was pre-covid. It's not even worth going there any more. Are there any places that still do big parties?

I got a job offer in NYC recently. I really want to make the move. Can anyone tell me how the dating scene is there? I hear mixed things, some people say it’s good while others say it is hypergamy central. I want to live in Brooklyn so idk if that helps. Either way I am going to make the move
>>2919604Because im not an incel
>>2919610you probably cant date a 15 year old but you can easily find one whoring her holes for rent money
>>2919664No thanks im not an incel
>>2919563>Can anyone tell me how the dating scene is therethere are a ton of single women in the boroughs, but that's mostly because they are overly neurotic type-a messes who think they're too good for any man they've ever met. you will have your pick of women to churn through, but don't expect any lasting connection
>>2919563it is hypergamy central. if you're handsome and charismatic you'll do fine if you just want to get laid though. But if you want like a real deal relationship that will lead to marriage you will find the womens' brains have been fried by modernity.

How does one converse with local populations who lack English skills when one is ignorant of the native language? How difficult & awkward are phone translator apps?
>>2919704I can often understand what they are saying even when I barely speak the language, based on the context.Learn to hold your peace and listen twice as much as you speak.
Why do you need to talk to anyone?
>>2919704learn the language
Google translate now translates what it hears instantly in your language. It looks pretty promising
Why haven't you become a ramp rat yet, Anon? You could've been flying for free or at heavily discounted prices if you worked what looks like on paper a wagie job but is actually a cheat code to enjoying life. Especially when you have a good shift trade culture at the station. Been on about 7 international trips this year alone!
>>2919822Because I work a fully remote high paying job and I don't need the nonrev tickets to keep traveling.
>>2919827What's the job? I'm 19 and still haven't enrolled in uni but wanna know what's available
>>2919848>What's the job?larping
It sound like good job, imagine working all day lifting up heavy things flight attendants give you the sexy eye, you get lots of money, and maybe extra.
I am once again planning another trip to the Philippines for when El Niño passes.I have a problem. I need some detailed info on a variety of things long term visitors may need, and surely do come with time spent and acquisition of friends.But I am a bit lazy and want shortcuts. I’ve checked out the expat groups on normiebook and I absolutely cannot stomach the thought going to some deranged boomer expat meetup. I consider myself a normie outsider as it is, but how are these people so fucked up? Anyways wat do and discuss your next trip if you have one planned.
Good to see this thread is still where losers congregate. I stopped coming here because I thought I was having fun hating on you worthless degenerates. But it turns out I could never hate you as much as you hate yourselves. Have fun dying alone in a drunken stupor.
>I stopped coming hereUhh it’s a travel thread. You are probably one of those losers you so despise.There are many monger forums elsewhere you may feel comfortable in.
I'm exactly like Anthony Bordain, only difference is instead of tying off my neck until off my balls.

I think I saw some people on trv talk about it once>book in KLHoly shit I did not think it possible for something to be less soulless than fucking Seoul. The air sucks, the food portions suck, the weather sucks, the "local transportation" is ass, everyone smells like sewage or curry, you run through things and then it's just "mall mall mall hey did you want to check out that small attraction at the mall?" from anyone you meet. Bars are just awful filled with obvious chinese scammers or old fucks from UK, sometimes passing business people. Try to look online for interesting things, you can blow out KL in like 2.5 weeks of going out, and everyone just says "never run out of things,,," and don't get me started at 5AM singing.Is there any saving grace for this place?

WV travel specifically to Wheeling and Huntington. Thinking about traveling to wheeling for some house purchasing. I work remote 120k/yr looking to settle down from 15 years of fun traveling. What's the best way these days to get around WV. I have around 1.5m saved up looking for the laid back lifestyle in my late 30s. Anyone been looking at the housing market 100-125k gets you a fucking mansion, so even if I get replaced by a clanker I can live out the rest of my time okay.Any advice for WV? Looking at other states like OKC but Wheeling is nice as close enough to Pittsburgh and Eire for some weekenders out. I do like mountains.>inb4 no women or things to doHad my good share in my life don't need more, if I can have a dog, smoker for BBQ, and a good yard, I'm happy

I went to China in November last year with my wife to visit my in laws.I visited Beijing after spending 10 days in Japan and as soon as I got to the hotel I order about 3kgs of random fruit. Fruit in Japan is rare and expensive.Went to the Earth temple and it's a nice, quiet park with one coffee shop in the middle. The guy in the coffee studied in Australia and knew I was Australian immediately and missed actual coffee.The military museum (The great shed of procured goods) pretty cool place to go to if you are a model maker. Planes are in the grand hall area, tanks and some rare artillery guns are in the basement, small arms are on the upper floors. one of interesting things was the Korean war section tucked away at the top which tells it from their perspective, they agreed it was a just cause but it was horrible for everyone involved and let it never happen again.Some funny interactions was female security guards patty me down and being shocked at how thick and solid my ass was.In the subway one guard as me to take a snip of my water bottle to make sure it wasn't acid or poison, my mandarin fucked up and didn't understand what he said so I chugged 500mls in about 3-5 seconds. Poor guy gave me a thumbs up and smiled and let me through, thinking I could probably do that same with beer.After Beijing my bother in law picked us up and I didn't realise we were doing 180-200kph on the highway to get her home town.Getting to her home town, the day after I got there her family put me to work.Comment too long.

>>2919831>Fruit in Japan is rareLmao what a dumb thing to say
Part 2/2The next day, my wonderful mother in law asked me to come to a factory. She got me to do some welding and use a heavy duty forklift to load a truck for a delivery. She did pay me in a hearty home cooked meal.After getting back I went to the farm to give my father in law a hand fixing his "exile house when he does something stupid" and tending to some crops.That night got to do some dumb country stuff with a power drill and steel wool and had a small accident.Nothing much happened after that.Getting back to Beijing was annoying because the police check, but fine keeps the rif raf out. Beijing airport I got pull aside because they had no idea what a 3ds was and had to get one the younger guys to explain it just plays games and is not some homemade mirco laptop.
>>2919832They had fruit but it didn't feel or tasted like fruit.I did have some giant Aomori apples and they were nice. When I got to Hokkaido not much fruit, but lots of ice cream and meat.
