>>2852200yeah that fucking sucks. zouk was like the one club in SG that wasn't just chinese zoomers flexing. did anything replace it?
>>2853483It's amazing how that one post practically filters away everyone.
>>2852632in my experience, "chinese drinking practices" largely centre around getting off your face, trying to persuade someone else to pay, and spending the rest of the time bitching about other chinese diaspora type people in other locations. example, chinese in malaysia spend the whole time bitching about honkies and sinkies
>>2853608>chinese in malaysia spend the whole time bitching about honkies and sinkieswhats their problem with them?

We have not considered Guilin/Yangshuo, Guanzhou or Hong Kong. What do you think of Qingdao? Also Tianjin to visit relatives. I want to see the countryside, forests and mountains. I'm a bit afraid that my gf is a cityslicker, as she studied in Shanghai.
About to book a flight to Kunming, just read some where else a claim of there not being much to do. Hope I don't regret it. The other choice was Nanning but decided against it. Those two are the only cities with good weather late march-early april

Go to Macau if you want to avoid the poors. I've been to both and Macau is what Vegas once was.At one point pre covid the whales all went to Macau and were raking 10x the amount of Vegas in pure gambling. I mean that's the only reason you'd want to go to Vegas, gambling right?
They need to move to a new vice to survive. Time to legalize the sex trade in Clark County.
>>2854180Hence the need for a Vegas to blow off steam and get away from the weird puritan feminist sex prison matriarchy that is the rest of America

I am from the USA and I am very bothered by traveling. I hate being in transit. I hate flying(mostly because I hate the chance of delays or redirects etc). I just don't feel that traveling does anything for me. If I go to some new place, I feel like I'd just do what I am doing now but there. So if I go to restaurant, I am just eating food. If I go sit outside, I am doing that here too. However, I have met many women who seem to be travel addicts and I always wondered why. What is the draw to traveling? Why do it? Should I do more of it even though I hate it?
>>2848659If you go somewhere completely different like Japan or Korea, even just eating out will be an exploration. It's kind of like playing a new game, but full-dive. The only thing preventing me from travelling more is finances. I'm a college student.
>>2848659I think you are just larping some utter lack of travel and funds. I can't imagine going anywhere and having zero interest in things you do NOT do at home. Musuems, culture, arts, geology, nature and animals, even restaurants are different. I also tend to read literature inspired locally. I might read the sagas before going to Iceland so I can see the ancient records of them in Reykholt at Snorristofa (they are pretty like the illuminated manuscripts), or enjoy the funky diorramas at the Settlement Museum in Bogarnes, or at least know Lord of the Rings was inspired there. Maybe you need to catch up on the Vikings first. Cave exploring? Spa soaks? Fine food? Seriously, do you even know how to travel?
>>2852130Suicidal despair is for you endorphin junkies who find yourself deprived of your fix once you pass a certain age.
>>2848659You need to force yourself to be extraverted, I'm an introvert loser at home but when traveling I'm so excited I ask random people what I should check out and become more extraverted.I'm slowly becoming more extraverted at home as a side effect which is nice.
>>2848659I don't like travelling all that much either but I love Japan so going there is my only reason to do so. I would say unless you find somewhere that resonates with you deeply that travelling aimlessly is largely a waste of time. I especially don't understand people who visit third world places like India but maybe they are masochistic and enjoy food poisoning and being surrounded by garbage.>I have met many women who seem to be travel addictsThey do it solely for clout. I have read many stories on here and other places that they sysematically go to trendy or popular places to take selfies or take pictures of their food. People who make travelling their personality are largely devoid of any personality.
Thinking of doing a 3 week trip around Sri Lanka in may -> June. Colombo to Ella kandy area then surfing in East coast then route back through the south to go fucking home. Anyone been? also Sri Lanka general give me the low down. I'm pretty inexperienced with travel so I dont want this to give me PTSD is it worse than India? safe?
has noone here been to Sri Lanka!??
There's a troll thread currently running but I'll support your attempt at actual discussion.If you go to Sigiriya go EARLY in the morning, before the stampede of German tourists. For either of the other ancient cities, rent a bike if you can because they're huge and you'll see more without getting tired. I thought the tea plantation area was ugly and a total waste of time.Order "short eats" at a restaurant, you won't be sorry. The local dark beer is nice too. In Mirissa I talked my way onboard a local fishing boat in exchange for $20 American and a bottle of arrak (that was a while ago, might cost you 2 bottles now). You can buy fresh fish on the beach and have your hotel cook it for you.
>>2854013Not yetIt has beautiful tropical greenery, a good railway system, low cost of visiting, plenty of nature preserves, friendly people, etc. Roasties have good things to say about the island nation, so it shouldn't be too difficult an experience for a newfag. Yeah, you'll have to pay to get a ride from A to B, but having a driver at your beck and call is a privilege, not a right. If you don't want to pay for the privilege, plan your trip around public transport usage. We're all tired of seeing entitled foreigners demand a driver drop everything to take them where they want to go, then bitch about having to pay the driver for the convenience of on-call, door-to-door service.
what state of india should i visit as an american with a high tolerance for third world conditions that loves nature? so far i'm thinking of himachal pradesh or somewhere in the 7 sisters but i'd love to hear an indian's (or someone who has been there) opinion on the matter.
>>2850247There are lots of women who do have to be out all day working, gathering wood, carrying heavy burdens on their heads etc. The streets age them really fast.
>>2850278How hairy were they though?
>>2838014Don't.Just don't
>>2850244Bihar is known as the worst, dirtiest, and most dangerous part of India (in terms of crime). As a first trip, it's probably not a good introduction. I'd advise visiting some nicer parts first and putting Bihar at the end of the trip so you don't hate everything and leave immediately.
>>2853879As a non-normie traveler, India is gradually cementing its place as the best country I've explored so far. If you're a normie faggot who just wants to be in a herd of mindless pleasure chasers, bug off to Phuket or Pattaya or some other hedonist containment zone. Visiting India isn't for you.>>2853886Bihar has the lowest GDP per capita, but IDK if that automatically means there is more rubbish lying around in Bihar than in other states. If anything, the lack of economic development could mean less construction rubble, vacant waste lots, abandoned buildings and other detritus of progress that is so prevalent in the more prosperous states. Hotel rooms are likely to be dirty and rundown due to the lack of new construction, however. Crime stats don't show Bihar as a standout for violent crime either. Maharashtra had a robbery rate 2.5x higher than Bihar in 2023. Bihar's rape rate is also lower than the national average, likely due to an extremely conservative culture that ensures women don't place themselves in social situations where rape is likely to occur.
Moved here a couple months ago, and it'd been hard meeting any expats that are like me. They all seem really performative and uptight. I feel like a normal dude out of place and moved here so I could live a nice life on the cheap in a beautiful country around nice safe people. Figured I'd come to 4chan, my old stomping grounds seeing if anybody similar wanted to meet up.https://discord.gg/3HAh6Em2w
>>2853782thanks bro, yes they fight like crazy. Probably caught like 5 that day. The US has trout lakes you pay to fish at, Thailand has these lakes.
No offense but I don’t come to Bangkok to hang out with a bunch of stinky farangs.
Is that you status-hippo? Reddit dork.
>>2853766>coomers hate Vietnamwtf are you talking about? it's everywhere in nam, just not as open, theres that whole road of blowjob parlours and japantown but otherwise you have to actually look for it
I'll be in Bangkok in April before Songkran. Will you be around?
I want to visit bongland next year for like 9 days. I was thinking spend 6 in London, 2 either in Bath or York via train, then for the last day come back to London, visit Windsor then head home. Does this make sense?
for your historical interests of york york obviously yorkminster, but then there st marys abbey ruins, yorkshire museum(anthropology msueum mostly of local stuff - but for museum time london is better, edinburgh and glasgow have decent big ones to scratch the itch). all of this is in a nice central park area thats pretty chill. City walls. a little castle on a hill nice photo framing. there are medieval shopping streets (the shops are touristy but still nice vibe). national railway museum - has lots of full size trains of all eras.jorvik viking exhibit - never went inside, maybe it is a performance show aimed at families i duno.
>>2853322I've been to the viking exhibit many years ago (probably decades now), I remember it as a show more aimed at families.>>2853255Splitting the UK into North/South is the biggest delusion of the most irritating people on this island (not blaming you, being a burger and all). Even between counties life is significantly different, let alone East vs West or getting into Cornwall/Wales (and then South vs North Wales within that).Most of the people who perpetuate Norf/Souf are old boomers from Thatchers days or Norfern Uni students whose only personality trait is living in the North and desperately want to believe that it gives them working class kudos.The real divide in the UK now is between big cities (Liverpool, Manc, Brum, London) and "the rest" which ironically makes it heavily Northern biased.
>>2853338Most global cultures are connected to drainage basins. Rivers were ancient motorways, and the first kingdom were formed by owning the rivers, with hills and mouuntains between basins forming nice defendable borders. Eventually, sea trade then gives each basin its unique flavour, as people start to develop external connections.I'd argue the basin districts massively match the cultural groups of the UK
anyone been to south west wales - further past swansea?any neat sights to see (assume im cursed and have to spend time there, make the best of it)
>>2854252there's the national botanic gardenthe usual collection of castlesa couple of steam railwaysmost towns etc will have a museum or something of that nature
American here - I take two three week trips to France every year. In the winter it's usually a week of skiing, a week in Alsace and a week somewhere inland. In the summer, I try to fill in empty spots along the coasts. From my Google timeline here, what areas am I really missing out on? Obviously into local cuisine, wine, culture, etc.

I finally see why this place is only referenced for a visa reset. I got one last weekend here, is there something I am missing? Staying Itaewon was a mistake...
>oh you want to go to that cool shrine/temple you saw a picture of yeah hope you got an ARC card because you need to book it on our shitty government run app that barely worksNever heard of this, you could always just get tickets to anything at the place, except maybe concerts >Ha paying with visa? chump, not accepted here why you not have Kakao pay?

>try to find some other tourist tips but it all boils down to "Seoul->DMZ->Gangnam!!! and maybe Jeju"Jeju is awesome though>women are decent but have insanely weird expectations on things or full on crazyAccurateResident for 10 years left a few years ago this is my takeTravel tips: don't travel during chuseok or seolnal, get a transport card right away for seoul, try to do seasonal activities with country people it's more fulfilling and they're interested in you, whereas seoul is literally seoulless. Eat as many different foods as you can, if you've never had korean good it has a unique taste, it's hardly the same as other asian countries, best to eat at local restaurants cooked by old korean women, hurry before they're gone
The worst fucking thing about seoul is they have a city ordinance where they cant have their A/C above or below a certain set point during certain months of the year. Hotels are exempt from their ordinance but theyre cheap bastards so they disable the cold air in the winter and blast 85F fucking heat into all rooms and hallways 24/7. If you ask about it they always just tell you to turn the blower off and open the pathetically small window. Its impossible to find a hotel that doesn't follow this shitty practice.

>>2853960I've walked in crowd traffic three times denser than that faggot did in his india sux vlogs and didn't feel stressed or bothered by anything. He's a drama queen who is too hypersensitive to enjoy the good side of India because OMG there's trash, OMG somebody honked, OMG the train is overcrowded. This country is much better for stoic, emotionally inhibited autists who have accepted that life is no gravy train of fun and pleasure.

>>2851085This is what autism looks like
>>2850872I think you need to realize that no one on earth could possibly give a fuck about you at all. You are likely the least memorable person anyone has ever seen, I would be blown away if any of these people you are so worried about are even thinking about you by the time they turn to a coworker to facilitate your order.
>>2854128Dude I know many restaurant people from Paris, they really don't fucking care as long as you're not a dick. Sure you'll get the occasional eye-rolling prick who's lamenting over serving someone who doesn't speak or read French but its nowhere as common as it was 20 years ago.
Are you an actual traveler if your not going to places like Somalia , Congo and Afghanistan?You'll actually experience a side of world you'll never see and come across stuff that will leave a lasting impression.

>>2853087>b-but migrantsThat's exactly why you should also embrace the rootlessness of modern globalism, instead of staying put wherever your parents plopped you out, being a good paypig for your country's elite, pining after a gf you will never get and seething endlessly about the great replacement agenda. The new globohomo normal is to reject your roots and pick a map dot that best serves your interests, whatever they are. If you are unable to adapt to a changing environment, you are evolutionarily unfit for survival.
