why don't we just lay everyone down in bed slots? we can put a tv in your face so your brain doesn't have to go more than 20 minutes without a screen and use those one-off bed liners that hostels sometimes use for quick clean up, your slop tray can be passed through an opening and now you can masturbate after seeing the hot flight attendant without having to stand up and go to the washroom

Someone needs to bake a new thread>>28583705000 is quite pricey for sea girls, Taiwanese girls or hotel outcalls sure that's reasonable.Various Longshan or N Linsen lasses are all from south east Asia and will usually go 2-3k depending on how well presented you areI've had a line mamasan tell me 6k once for an admittedly model tier Indo and I was telling her nah 3k max is the rate and she laughed and said yeah that's fine so do understand people might try to ask a lot more if you seem like a dumb touristthat said Taiwan has possibly the most honest and nice working girls. I've mistaken the price before and was trying to pay 500 more, she's insisting the price is 2k and refused to take more, made me laugh, literally no woman in Thailand would do that
>>2832880Fallen Angels is probably responsible for so much tourism to HK/China/Taiwan.
Anyone else just like experience of being at the airport? Even without traveling.
>>2856923I don't have any friends...
>>2846039It's 100% ass all the time. Expensive shitty food, shitty people you see that are absolutely peak tourist garbage already holding themselves as the most important person in the airport. Bags on seats, laying across 6 chairs half an hour before the gate opens. I hate the travelling aspect of travel. I'm not enjoying myself until the morning after I arrive.
>>2846039Yes, but only for the first 20 minutes. Just because I associate it with going someplace new / embarking on an adventure.But no, I don't like sitting in a chair with nothing to do and flying is even worse because I raw dog it. If I try to read, or watch something, I get sick. At best I can listen to a podcast, but that's about all.
>>2846039Spent 26 hours in Singapore Changi during covid unable to leave, was absolute heavenOne hour in Sydney Airport and I'm ready to punch on with some wogs in the maccas line.So yeah, it's probably dependant on the airport.
>>2857139How so? I transferred in Changi during covid and everything was closed. There was nothing to do. Maybe you went towards the end of covid when things were open again?
Thinking about moving to Myanmar. Burnt out in Thailand with drinking and shitty relationships. Apartments in Yangon seem really expensive but maybe Mandalay or Naypyidaw would be an option.Anyone been there? How's the dating (for serious relationship)? Anyone worked there? I'm a teacher (proper) I bet they're struggling like fuck to fill positions

>>2858650OP is too much of a pussy to actually go there. Who would have thought a bragging American macho retard wouldn't bail out at the last minute and take the easy out sipping Cosmopolitans in a comfortable seat like a wine mom, seriously, what a fucking surprise that tough guys on 4chan are cowards, I totally didn't expect this at all, guess he needs to get some testorterone injections in New Delhi before coming back into the game.
>>2855826>Bagan in my opinion shat all over Angkor.Bagan is easily one of the wonders of the ancient world, i just wish they hadn't built that hideous tower thing and made all these stupid rules nobody every cared about before. Myanmar is a high tier destination, despite the lonely planet boycott, despite the war. Yangon is a tantalisingly intact colonial city, if they fixed up the old British tramway like in kolcotta it would be an amazing place. Fuck the stupid refugee camp across the river on the bog.And myanmar is FULL of untapped tourist attractions, many i wouldn't even mention by name. Go out there and find them. Fuck the influencer crowd. Many have been there since the golden days of Thailand tourism, there are a may hom song valleys, a desert, a mini Tibet, half of yunnan and 6 beaches crammed into myanmar.

How do other /trv/ lurkers deal with the come-down from international vacations?As a wagie in a career-type job, I only get a few weeks per year to travel and explore the world. When I do, I have such a wide budget that I can do pretty much anything I want, which always turns into a crazy vacation high where every day is more awesome than the last. I've spent those vacations doing incredible things (kissing qt travelers, seeing amazing historical sites, eating fabulous local cuisines, etc.), but having gotten a taste for that has destroyed my perspective on everyday life. I feel like I'm craving adventure all the time, and regular life is just a bunch of bullshit. I appreciate having the stability, but I can't get the nagging feeling of yearning out of my head. Anyone feel the same way?
>>2856901>with the come-down from international vacations?plan for my next one
>>2856901No because I do this shit all the time. I used to feel like you, but then I realized working a wage job where someone tells me what I have to do like I'm a fucking toddler is at best slavery or at worst just death. I digress. Yeah I used to, then I just quit and started living it full time. I'm not rich so I can't do the crazy excursions and nice hotels, so it's a lot more like living normal life just in new places.
>>2856901You deal with it by making your life at home more intetesting. Can it live up to travel? Mosty yes, actually.I take up creative writing, go to meetups, meet people, learning spanish with groups in cafes. Etc. Can even get into more expensive local hobbies like hunting fishing sailing piloting for the thrill of adventure near home.I live my life all the time, and now I barely want to travel anymore.

Can we turn this into a general US territories thread?Do any of the pacific territories (US Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands), have anything interesting to do on them besides just generic beaches?
How bad is Chicago weather in late February/early March? I'm from Connecticut so I know how to deal with the cold and snow, but I also want to know what I'm getting into.
today sucked assI don't have a definitive answer for that time frame, it could be 60s and sunny, it could be 20s and snowingcheck the forecast a week before you leave
feb/march is basically impossible to predict. Some years it thaws out some years it's blizzard, due to it being a weak la nina it might just be more dry than usual
>>2856074i would put my money on it being freezing. things don't start thawing in chicago til around mid april
>>2856074I did Chicago in early February two years ago.Dirt cheap hotel, like $100/night in River North.Was ready for cold weather, but got lucky. It ended up being 40-60 degrees the whole time, no ice on the river, so I got to do the river boat architecture tour, which btw was the highlight of the trip.I expected the boats to be closed though, I got lucky.
I know these lil bros play a big role in some of your travelling journeys. I want to hear all of it - crazy situations you got yourself in whilst buzzed, addiction withdrawal horrors, best places for beer, getting sober and contrasting the difference, all of it.
>>2857019Perfectly good /druk/ thread here:>>2853175
>>2857021well i guess i should just go fuck myself then.tbf "/druk/" is kind of classless. The way I presented this thread was kind of encompassing all the different tales that alcohol & sobrierty provides, which may or may not satisfy a different kind of audience. idk, it may be worth a different thread in a board of 100ish threads. if not, i guess sage. interseted in the sobre stories before and after desu

For us poors who still like to travel. We discuss:>Klarna-funded travel >Begpacking>Staycations>Homelessness >CopingLet's stay out of the threads with people who have succeeded in life and discuss everything here in one spot
>>2856813The food is great. Literally nothing else is. I've even travelled to Sarawak. More boring. You must have a certain personality to be enjoying yourself there
>>2856835>>2856837The food is great, the people are great, there's very little globohomo shit tolerated here. If you are into technology and Internet stuff, it's great. I'm not a sex pest or a club scene person (anymore) so it's a nice place to WFH at a fraction of the cost of a western country while still enjoying first world comforts.I saw a rat this morning, that's a negative I suppose.But I can live here for under $800 per month. And the food is great!
>>2856860Sure. Nothing you said was contrary to it being boring though. You're absolutely right, it's good value and practical. I'd absolutely hate living there, personally. Personality difference
>>2856860And I'm absolutely not a coomer. Hate that shit but also indulged when I was younger. Just in case that's your presumption
>>2854037Everyone else has said it all but if travel is what you value you put money away from that. It's like some people want the nice house or get a car on lease, but you can't do it all. When you're young it's easier because unless you lock yourself down early it's actually quite easy. Terminally online people like r*dditors will tell you no one can travel without a trust fund or whatever but it's because they're bitter and because if they can't keep their life in order no one can. I did it twice in my early twenties working in restaurants and then in construction all while paying rent at home while abroad, and have been doing yearly trips since
How much effort do you put into learning language for travel?In particular:1) how much time do you spend learning it and how long before your trip do you start learning2) have you found the effort you put into it to be worthwhile (especially nowadays with translate apps bing pretty good)3) what is your main intention with learning the language 4) if the language is difficult for Westerners (i.e. an Asian language like Thai) do you put less effort into it and just stick to the very basics5) when your trip is over do you continue practicing the language
>>2853817For languages I'm just trying to cram before a trip, I pirate the Michel Thomas course, which teaches all the grammar you need to know pretty painlessly. Then I start with Pimsleur level 2 or 3 which is a good way to build vocab. Flashcards can be useful but understand the difference between having an active vocabulary vs a passive one (words you have memorized, but are inaccessible during conversation). Ask chatgpt to quiz you on how to say stuff.My approach to become really proficient over time is basically all of the above, plus a fuckton of comprehensible input vids/podcasts, plus paying online teachers to chat with me.>>2853713I have a lot of respect for people who are good at this. You are right to stress the importance of extra-verbal communication. But if you can do this AND learn a language, why wouldn't you?
Depends on how many people learn the language as a second language. So Chinese, a billion people speak it, but they're all Chinese people and mostly in China. It's of no value when speaking to someone who is not Chinese. Spanish, not many people in Spain, but a lot of south America speaks Spanish, it's not an uncommon second language in Europe and America, it has value when speaking to Portuguese speakers, some value to English, French, Italian speakers. AND, nationals of any other county, they might have learned Spanish to speak to any of the aforementioned.You're far more likely to find a African who speaks Spanish, then an African who speaks mandarin. They might have learned Spanish in Europe, but that means they can talk to you as a Spanish esl.And that's why English rules the world, so many people learned it already as a second language that esl English is the most widely spoken language almost everywhere on earth, and those who refuse to learn, typically there's a political reason and they suffer badly for it. So you see it's not really about how many primary speakers the language has, it's about how many secondary. Tertiary speakers. I've been up mountains and yelled at people in English, they didn't understand. OK, regional languages. French, Spanish Russian. One of them yelled back in Spanish. They weren't Spanish, they were from south America and spoke Portuguese. Fuk. So someone who speaks Portuguese, broken Spanish, can communicate with someone, not English, who is fluent in English as a second language, so can understand at least some Spanish. That's right at the thin end, but it illustrates the value of bridging language barriers. Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>2853580I learn:Hello, goodbye, please, thank you, excuse me, sorry & toilet.Sorry is useful for when I break cultural norms without realizing like a retard.
>>2854412As someone who speaks zero Spanish, I actually relied on Chinese a LOT in Central America, because every general store and asian restaurant are chinese-owned.
>>2853580If you already speak English then you are good to go
I have to go to Madrid this summer. Anything interesting to see over there? Not that I'll have a lot of free time but who the fuck knows.By the way since I'm on the travel board I was wondering, for those of you who decided to move out and start over in a different cunt, especially those who lived in a first world country before moving out, why? It is something I could never understand. Like, I get it, maybe it's getting worse where you live and stuff but did you really believe it was going to be some sort of paradise where you moved? And what about your family? Don't you feel anything knowing that you left your family? Don't you ever feel lonely? Genuinely asking.
>>2856491The Prado is worth seeing, but otherwise they're not particularly pleasant locals and the city is quite boring compared to Barcelona, Seville, Granada, etc
>>2856491> Madridlived there for 2 years. 10/10 destination. Has some of the best food in the world, but you need to go searching for it. It's not centered around the main tourist hub in Puerta del Sol. Fuck i miss madrid.>>2856526both Prado and Reina Sofia. Prado has Las Meninas and the Goya collection. Reina Sofia has guernica.
Take a train to Toledo as well
>>2856526>>2856585>>2856628Is Segovia worth a day trip from Madrid? Im going to visit soon, and will visit Toledo surely, but im seeing that the train to Segovia stops out of the city which is dumb.
>>2856491I'm on my second year living abroad, after several years traveling on and off. It's alright. I like my family and miss them a lot but it's all about tradeoff, because other than missing the relatively few people who are still in my city, everything is worse back home. High COL, shit weather, unfriendly people, extreme leftist tension (10 points if you guess where I'm from based on that). I concede that it is a weird thing to do, going off to another country not because of economic necessity but because it's more fun or laidback or cheap or whatever. Kind of feels like shopping, picking out a new country and culture as you'd pick a new outfit. I respect way more my immigrant ancestors who came to the US in search of something better, but now that we have remote work and cheap flights, those calculations are different.
my job will be from march to november/december depending on what i can get done while im over there, looking for things to do or close cities i can visit and explore in the weekends.
Theres plenty of things to do in Paris and I wont bother listing them, theres already a lot of content about that.As for weekend getaways, the train system from Paris to elsewhere is good enough that you can almost visit all the main cities in the country.Some I would recommend>Lyon>Bordeaux>Strasbourg>Saint-Malo>Vannes>Reims>Rouen>Dijon>LilleYou could also go for a day to places like>Versailles>FontainebleauComment too long.
