Fucking everywhere. Literally every fucking where in the entire world you monkey nigger cumstain moron. Kill yourself, kill yourself NOW. New Yorkers are the scum of the fucking Earth. No other group of people is as self-assured of their superiority while being so inferior, the ratio is fucking insane, like Indians at least know they suck a little bit but New Yorkers can barely spell their own name and they can barely fit a cube into a square hole without their nigger pizza greased peanut brains exploding yet somehow they think they are the greatest thing to exist on this planet since Jesus Christ because they have a bunch of sloppy kikes running around raping kids in tunnels and the whole city smells constanly of shit and piss and rotting garbage. Yeah what a great city. Anything you can do in New York you can do fucking anywhere, retard, you RETARD do not EVER speak again.

I don't hate you, I disdain you. You're stuck in the wagecuck mentality, and like every wagie, you want to believe that your paycheck is some kind of huge flex that other foreigners envy. No. We don't envy you, because you are not free to go and do as you please. You are afraid of the Third World, and you use your money to shield yourself from it. That is why you are stuck in some globohomo-tier hotel or apartment, working some lame-ass online job, and coping with conspicuous consumption to feel better about your life. Apart from your geographical location, your life is no different from the average wagie in fucking Des Moines, Iowa. And just like those Iowa wagies, you dislike talking about overseas travel because you are ignorant of the world. You'd rather talk about sportsball, women, politics, hobbies or some other normie-tier topic of conversation.

You think you've identified how expats live wrongly.
>if I was an expat, I'd take AirAsia flights and explore on my time off, I'd learn the language and integrate, I'd live like..
But. You never will. You failed to acquire the skills and the education that is demanded around the world. I identified it, and the life I wanted and capitalized on it. You failed and I won.
Now you're left fantasizing about how an anonymous expat online ACTUALLY has a really vapid and normie life abroad and how you're actually really intelligent and deep... Just not intelligent enough to live here. You'll experience my life in my city a few weeks a year and then return to toil for minimum wage with people who talk about TV shows and celebrities. While me and my mates are clinking glasses and talking about our travels and rich adventures. We think of people like you when we appreciate our lives.

>>2850833
I've been past your expat bars a time or two in the course of my travels. A bunch of balding white men with soft saggy bellies who gather in the afternoon to drink overpriced poison, gabble like geese for hours and flirt with sassy plump 38 year old barmaids. Lame and boring.

Meanwhile I'm out here with a flat belly and a hard face, living a real adventure life in some random places where nobody expected a foreigner to show up. Packing my bags on a regular basis to head out somewhere, anywhere. I'll only know where when I get there. No cell service, no support group, no home base, no income. You are a penned steer happy in your comfy stall; I am a rangy coyote who makes his bed as he goes along. Your goal is an easier, more comfortable life; I seek greater degrees of challenge and hardship. It makes perfect sense that you want nothing to do with me, because I make you feel like an emasculated, overfed steer.

I am simply stating facts. Unlike you, with your false Internet bravado, I've travelled to multiple places under Level 4: Do Not Travel warnings with very high levels of tension in the air. Like an ambush or firefight could pop off at any moment. A time or two I did begin to walk around and see what I could see, but my intuition is spot-on, and when it tells me to get the hell out of dodge, I listen. As a foreigner and an intruder in a dangerous region, it is very stupid to play Mr. Macho Tough Guy around a bunch of real tough guys who have slit throats of sentries and tortured prisoners. Rather, you need to play Mr. Cold-As-Ice who is completely unbothered by all the menace in the air and betrays no emotion beyond a mild curiosity. Interesting folks here, huh? Let's get back in the truck and get the hell out of here.

as far as temperatures go, greece is two countries. the mainland and the north, and the south peloponesse and the aegean islands. My brother is in Syros and it had 15-18 degrees during the midday. I comparison Thessaloniki peaked at 10.
If you want something in europe that will be sunny and not really cold then Malta is a good option too

To buy and build out a boat, you need money. Lots of money. /trv/ is full of self-proclaimed crypto gorillionaires, but strangely, none of them can afford a plane ticket overseas, much less a houseboat capable of blue-water navigation.

Best option would be to find an online community who is specifically looking to live this lifestyle. Make connections and take a voyage with somebody to learn the ropes and see if the boat life is for you. I'm a diehard landlubber, so it's not something I've even considered.

>>2847606
Don't do it anon: my buddy tried this in Florida/Carribean and financially it set him back years. Difficult and expensive to perform the constant maintainance required while living on board.When he threw in the towel, it took forever to sell and then only at a steep loss. You'd be better off living near the sea and renting/chartering a boat as desired.

Boats are a pain in the ass to maintain and always syphoning large amounts of money. The bigger the worse and European ports will drain your wallet more than any hotel.
You can do what you want, but considering you'd need to sell off your stuff you're not in a position to do it properly like the decamillionairs cruising around the med.
It doesn't sound like you have a whole lot experience with boats, neither the fuck you money to just throw cash at whatever problems comes to you.
So to me it sounds retarded honestly to make a move like this in your position, if you're serious first rent a boat for a few days or join a boat trip and talk to boat owners to see what it's like, cause i guarantee you they all have painful and expensive stories.

Accurate

Resident for 10 years left a few years ago this is my take

Travel 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

Going to rave alone:

>walk all around her, turn around and stare at her to decipher her intentions. She avoids eye contact and starts tinder swiping furiously.
>all girls are in the group laughing, talking with each other and hugging without even acknowledging my existence
>while just observing and battling my thoughts still seeing pairs (usually tall mediterrean looking chad mogging me and some mid girl) hugging and dancing together wishing so much someone could hug me.

And i love techno music but older and more lonely i get this kind of "nightlife" excursions gets more and more painful for me. When there is more pain than fun i think i dont think i can go there again, even though i still dream of creating my own music. Maybe if i get enough material i will contact some club to play some algorave set (even though algorave is kind of dead now and i am late to the party) . I guess nightlife is more fun if you have some status to yourself to justify your being there - not just being nobody, another surplus male with average height and non-imposing stature that no one cares about

Anyone been to those underground nightclubs in Jakarta? Full of bold daring girls hungry for BWC who are also greedy and will go home with you for some cash. Forget about the high culture clubs of Europe and the dancemaster clubs of LatAm. We're all too autistic to fit in, let alone ascend.

I agree with everything you said EXCEPT for the Vatican. Saint Peter's is absolutely worth visiting and it's mind blowing.

I think the major mistake that people make (and I have made), is visiting the Vatican museum AND St Peter's in the same day without a meaningful break between them. You think that since they are close together it would be easy but it ends up being a shit ton of walking and you need to plan for a break for lunch or something in between. Ideally if you have a lot of time (like 2 weeks or more), then I'd say do them on separate days.

I got a roast suckling pig sandwich, it was really good. I should have got the lampredotto, it smelled great, but I had just eaten tripe the day before at
>Antica Trattoria da Tito
Where I had the wild boar ragu and trippa alla fiorentina, both excellent
>Trattoria La Grotta Parri
I can't remember what I got but I remember it was good and for a good price, too. The guy at my hotel recommended this place to me.
>Osteria Pratellino
First course I had ravioli with mint and lemon in a zucchini butter sauce, can't remember the second course, both were great.
I got steak at some kinda touristy place, it was really good but expensive. I can't remember the restaurant and I'm sure there are better places to have steak in Florence.

Hey op I experienced homeless shelters in nyc as a volunteer and nearly faced homelessness myself and I can help you out advice wise. Of course things may have changed but I'm still willing.

Depending on your job shelters may or may not be the best option. Here are the rules and options

Generally you are not guaranteed a bed. You have to go in the morning or evening to sign up to get a space, and if you don't get one they may lottery who does. However this happens everyday so it's a constant struggle for stability. I think if they have space and you are clearly stable they might make sure to get you on the list every night snd they'll tell you that you always have a bed. That bed however has no sheets or pillow, maybe not even clean, is shared with strangers, and is a pull out bed the only thing worse is sleeping on a yoga mat on the floor. At best you are inside, food is provided, and a private shower and bathroom, by this I mean it is shared but you can lock the door for privacy. It seems to be that the mentally unstable are not allowed inside, and the violent people are banned. It doesn't stop people from being cunts. They might have lockers for personal items but lucky you have a storage unit. If you get up early for work that's good because they kick you out very early in the morning. Shelters always have night staff, there is always security and people monitoring, and those sleeping overnight as well, usually in another room nearby. Many homeless men are working but have no home, I met several. There are kids kicked out of home too but not young enough for a foster home, it's a different system.

Strong advice is to specifically find a shelter not a church because they will not help you and don't care. You'll get decent to good food at shelters but you can also visit soup kitchens. Shelters won't help you with anything like work or housing but usually there is someone that will talk with you if you want.

If you don't want a shelter and know your budget some options, maybe safer but less desireable or harder to get, are to live in hotels for a monthly rate, or do work exchange for housing. This won't work well if your job schedule conflicts and it's almost as bad as a shelter honestly, lack of privacy, doing work for no pay, at the mercy of the hosts or owner.

You could also live outside the city and commute. NYC is not a safe place even for housed people. I wouldn't recommend sleeping anywhere outside. I actually have a friend in Brooklyn that would take money for a room but I doubt she would let a stranger in, she let me stay for free the first time and for pay when I was older (she's a friend of my parents) because I had stuff to do in the city and barely any funds to afford staying. But look for people renting out rooms and at least get a private room for a month.

Save money eating slice pizza. If you get stuck outside go to a 24 hour diner, can't sleep but warm and safe. I wrnt through all of this... unfortunately, and worse, but I'm happy now.

I don't care that it's a mosque, the problem is how the whole Sultanahmet area is designed a tourist trap. It's filled with holy sites and yet it feels like you're walking around in Disneyland. The Hagia Sophia is really confusing to understand how to navigate now that it's a mosque and you need to pay to enter the top floor, stuff like the Topkapi Palace is expensive as fuck, the restaurants are all mediocre and overpriced, lots of annoying scammers and tourist shops. It's the busiest place in the city yet feels the most lifeless now.

Everywhere else I went though was great. Sultan Suleiman mosque was way, way more tranquil than the ones in Sultanahmet and people were happily having picnics outside. Kadikoy and Uskudar were definitely the best and they were on the Asian side, way more affordable and more quiet with some remarkable food. Taksim was underwhelming based on what I've heard about it but Istiklal has a lot to do at least

Not surprising given that one of Islam's biggest commandments is to make an expensive pilgrimage to a special stone in Saudi Arabia on one specific day of the year. Like there are millions of people there and the necessary crowd control makes it all very Disney-ish.

Can't wait for the Islamic Reformation which produces a watered-down version of the religion that isn't nearly as hostile to women and "infidels", and widespread adoption thereof.

Contiguous maps are also far less impressive.
Think about it, it's easy for an Austrian to just get on a train and visit a new country every weekend. But an American doesn't have that option, they have to go out of their way to visit new countries.

tolerance. Yeah, read the Bible. Study Torah.

Chinese tourism is geared to the billion domestic Chinese tourists, foreign tourists often don't get much out of Chinese attractions as a result.

China still can't speak English, so is hard to connect with Chinese people, who often seem cold, rude, suspicious, the Chinese don't like us.

Many people don't like the oppressive cover government, their million police, constant presence, all the CCTV and security, and major Chinese cities are famously soulless.

A lot of the traditional parts of China have been totally ruined by a combination of poor heritage practices, fake cement shit, censorship. The Chinese are embarrassed that pre colonialism China was basically feudal. We see Chinese tradition but they just see poverty and backwardness. You wouldn't go to a castle in Europe and say "omg there's no flushing toilet, lmao these people are so poor" but that's sort of how Chinese see their history. There's a very, very strong cultural feature of China in hating anything old, backwards, antiquated.

The Chinese music sucks, they can't party, not many drugs, you're not going to have wild nights out. Maybe in Beijing, some tourist places in major cities.

China is fascinating but i didn't enjoy my time there. Probably better to live there, like Russia, not good for casual tourism.
