Have any of you gotten a yellow fever vaccine for Brazil?I'm planning to go spend some weeks in Brazil starting in January 2026, specifically Rio, Sao Paulo, Florianopolis but might also want to see a city in the inside of the country such as Curitiba or make a small detour at the coast seeing a small touristic places.On the one hand I read only like 50% of the brazilian population is vaccinated on the other hand I also read there's a resurgence of cases and that the vaccine has a low side effect profile.

>>2847951Notice the countries that border that region>Colombia>VenezuelaAll bad hombres, narcos and shit. Those are drug routes.
>>2848090Yanks don't do any more drugs than other countriesthey just have money so they're willing to pay 10x what that shit goes for in south america
>>2847951>What exactly is going on in NW brazil that makes it so dangerous?Deep into the Amazon rainforest, near borders and rivers used by drug factions
>>2847951We have comfy places here, we have violent-for-1st-worlders places here, we have violent-for-Brazilians places here, and then we have Brazilian Mordor, which is roughly this region
Spent 10 days of so in Egypt recently.Itinerary:>Cairo>Med coast & Marsa matruh>Siwa Oasis>CairoIt usually gets a bad rep, so will tell a few tales, give some advice, answer some questions, and share some pics from along the way.
I just came back from Cairo a few weeks ago. Spent only 3 days and did the normie travelling stuff.Stayed at the Hilton in downtown Cairo. Avoid it. It's a shithole and it wasn't cheap. I'm still upset with myself that I stayed here. I booked a half day tour of the pyramids for $95 USD. I thought I was going to join one of those Chinese tour groups with 50 people, but nope, 1-on-1 "private" tour guide. It was good, worth it. Pyramids are amazing!For the rest of the day I just wondered around. Went to Tahrir Square and the khan el Khalili markets. I'm wondering around the markets thinking who actually buys the junk they sell here. I bought a coffee from a place and they tried to charge me 650 Egyptian pounds. I laughed, handed him a 100 Egyptian pound note and told the guy to suck my dick. They threatened to go to the cops lol. Egyptians are fkn pussies. Next day I went to the aptly named GRAND Egyptian museum. It was grand. It has so much stuff that if youre interested in Ancient Egypt, you could easily spend a whole day there. I went there when it opened and bee-lined it straight to King Tut's golden mask. It's amazing, go see it. I was in and out in about 2 hours.
>>2855959...contI had nothing to do for 1/2 a day so I got the hotel to book a last minute trip to Saqqara to see the step pyramid. It was $90 USD with a private car and tour guide. This was all last minute so I didn't care about the cost but this tour was shit. Saw the step pyramid, which was cool, but a few of the sites in the complex/necropolis were closed. Also, the tour guide bitch was meant to take me to Memphis but she didn't. On the way back I got the driver to take me to this awesome shawarma place. Shawarma in Egypt is fkn awesome. Lamb meat, caramelised onions with tahini and/or garlic sauce with a side of pickles. But it's the bread that makes it. It's stretchy and rubbery but still crunchy on the outside. That's it really. I didn't go out at night because of jet lag and that I was going to Dubai next anyways, so I might as well save my self and my money for that. I'll definitely go back, but next time I will go to Luxor and Aswan, perhaps even that oasis that OP's talking about. Also, Cairo is fun. It has a buzz about it. Horns are honking at 3am, people are always on the move and seem busy, probably trying to figure out how to rip you off.Apologies for the last pic. Didn't know it was sideways. also fk these captchas!
>>2855959How'd you end up in Cairo for 3 days, lol? Seems a bit out the way.>and told the guy to suck my dickLmao, can't imagine this going down well at all.... aahah
>>2846819And throwing a little bit of dirt on top of the trash like First World landfills do makes it so much better? The fucking garbage is still there.>>2846970Is Egypt doable on $20 per day? From what I've heard it might be the cheapest country to visit on the African continent. But with so much of its expanse being literal no-mans-land, you really don't have as much room to explore as you do in a greener, more varied country with towns spread all over the map. Egypt is the anti-trekking country, where travel on foot for any purpose beyond stretching your legs is utterly pointless.
I'm still trying to square some shit about EgyptOn one hand, while I was in Cairo, everyone was trying to scam me, but I never encountered theft. My cousin that's been living there for years told me petty criminality is pretty much non-existant. I could just stroll in unlit street at night and people would simply give me directions.Then a friend of mine went in a shitty boat ride along the nile, and he was repeatedly warned about thieves, especially horse buggies/tuk-tuk that would drive you in the middle of nowhere and extort your money to get you back to your destination.Any opinion on the matter, OP?
2026/01/16 12:00With the timetable revision in March this year, JR companies will increase the number of Shinkansen trains on the Tohoku, Tokaido, and other lines. JR Central will increase the number of special Nozomi trains during peak travel times, bringing the number of trains between Tokyo and Shin-Osaka to a maximum of 13 per hour. While this will likely increase convenience for business trips and vacations, there are often discussions surrounding the Shinkansen about passenger manners and issues, such as not reclining seats properly or carrying large carry-on bags.On the Yomiuri Shimbun's user posting site, Hatsugen Komachi, a user named "Sobagon," who claims to have used a non-reserved seat on the Shinkansen, posted a topic with the ominous title, "I was forced to give up my non-reserved seat on the Shinkansen."The poster boarded the Shinkansen from the first station and secured a window seat in the unreserved section. The aisle seat next to her was empty. She then left her seat to go to the restroom, leaving her drink and jacket behind. When she returned, two elementary school-aged brothers who had boarded at the next station were sitting in the window and aisle seats. The poster insisted that they had secured their seats first, but the brothers wouldn't give up, so she ended up standing for over an hour.https://www.yomiuri.co.jp/otekomachi/20260115-GYT8T00073/
>>2856746Do Japs really?
>>2856575Boo fucking hoo
>>2858039Yeah, they are the most beta men in the world. You can throw a shit to them and all they'll do is just post a rant on X.
>>2856586I can imagine most people reluctantly saying yes because they're too afraid of offending you. But as >>2856588 says, its a design flaw. A fully reclined seat is too invasive for the person behind you, and what if you recline the seat while they have food and drink out on a tray? It could go everywhere.
>>2859395Take your mental illness to a low cost carrier and stay there. People like you deserve un-reclinable seats and 27" pitch
I'm planning on visiting San Jose, Costa Rica this May. And advice by people who have been before or maybe any native Costa Ricans that happen to be browsing?
>>2859738>AndAny*
Wtf happens in Miami/South Florida? The people there seem very different. I guess Florida Man now makes sense. But aside from boating what else is there to do?
>>2859075It's literally not. It's actually a very cool place and there's tons of history. https://historyfortlauderdale.org/
I'm going to Miami Beach and Key West in March. What should I besides puff cigars, sip rum, and eat grouper? I'm going by myself. How do I navigate having fun while being a single man in a place as image conscious as South Florida?
>>2859048>2026>unironically using the term "stroads"
>>2859610Grab breakfast at sarabeths in KW, enjoy the slow pace
Some Mexican with no car insurance will hit your car and not stop. You'll come back to your car with your window busted out and all your stuff missing. You'll stand in line for a club for 2 hours and then pay an $80 cover for the privilege of buying a $20 beer. You'll go to the beach and someone will steal your bag off the sand. Typical brown people behavior.
I'll do Nice (2 days), Aix (2 days) and Lyon (4 days) starting in the 21th of March. Any tips apart from the obvious tourist places or some hidden gems for locals are appreciated.
>>2858608You'd have to pay me to go to these places, especially Lyon.
>>2858608You need more time in Nice honestly. Take one day to take the train to Cannes, Monaco, or Menton.
Skip Lyon completely. Here are my recommendations: Avignon is nice, and be sure to visit Nimes and the aqueduct. St. Paul de Vence was an amazing little town.>>2859435Or do what this anon said
As other anons said, you could probably do two days one night in Lyon and head for Provence. You have very cute little villages and towns like Eze, Menton, Cassis..The road from Cannes to Saint-Raphael is beautiful aswell
Nope. You're doing it all wrong.Do any combination of these instead. Annecy, Chambery, Le Puy, Avignon, Nimes, Pont Du Gard, Arles, Aix, Cassis, La Ciotat
Later this year, I will be travelling to Austraila with the gf. She wants to visit some family friends in Gold Coast and Sydney (approx 5-6 days in each location). Instead of flying from Brisbane to Sydney, I'm thinking of hiring a car and making a road trip out of it.Are there any Ausfags or people familiar with Australia who can tell me if this is worth doing? And if so, what places on that journey are worth visiting? Byron Bay is an obvious one, but I'd be interested to hear of any others.Gold Coast / Brisbane and Sydney recommendations would also be great if you have them. Thanks.
Honestly, most of what’s interesting in that trip is in the Northern Rivers region. Towns like Mullumbimby and Bangalow are pretty chilled, and the scenery around there is nice too.All this stuff is within a hour’s drive of Gold Coast. You should hire a car and make a few short day trips during your time there. This big road trip you’re talking about will be a lot less interesting than you think.
How much time do you have? Foreigners typically underestimate how big Australia is and how long drives take.
>>2858389Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind.>>2858551The plan would be to take a couple of days total to do this. Leave Gold Coast on morning of day 1, stay somewhere half way on night of day 1, then arrive in Sydney on evening of day 2.
Yes, absolutely worth doing. If it were me and I had time:Night 1 ByronNight 2 somewhere in Dorrigo NPTransit through South West RocksNight 3 Limeburners Ck Nat Park, just near Crescent HeadNight 4 Barrington Tops NP, then back to Syd through Putty.
What's the creepiest place you've ever been to?
Anywhere south of the mason-dixon line. I remember going there with my extended family as a kid and there was a local yokel who wanted to marry my 11 year old cousin (he was about 50). He literally said he wanted to marry her to my uncle. Everyone thought he was joking but he was so persistent it became evident he was not. All the bad shit you hear about the south is true. Absolutely insane place. Also all the food is inedibly oversalted and greasy and they don't know what a vegetable is.
Malaysia had bangladeshi scammers for my stay. Didn't respond and left the same day to china
Have not been to much of places so certainly exist worse but Budapest, Hungary. Is it just so scummy and dirty over there
>>2858384Some graveyard in japan. Had to pass through to my hostel. No street lights for 5 minutes
>>2858384Springfield Massachusetts
What's the appeal of this shithole? Seriously I never understood it. Is it literally just racism?
>>2858848There's like 3 active moderators on this zombified shithole of an imageboard any all of them are on popular media boards deleting threads they don't like.
>>2858849Basement-dwelling virgin neets like you wouldn't understand. Stay on /pol/.
>>2859522>Ask a question about Europe>Immediately get called an basement-dwelling incel neet, jeet, or a /pol/tardAh, I see. Europe is the brown incel capital of the world. Thanks m'damsel.
>>2859522Do you think you could post this again, but with more buzzwords and even less actual content?
>>2858834Europe is for living in, not visiting
I want to do a tour of the Pyrenees. Starting in the Basque country or maybe even farther west in Portugal/Galicia, make my way into the mountains and visit the massive world class spa in Andorra, do some hiking, come down into Catalonia, and finish with southern France and maybe an afternoon in Monaco to say I went. Anything I should see/avoid along this itinerary?
That's the most beautiful region of Europe. You're gonna have so much fun.
i love bologna so much
>>2857807Bologna was by far my favorite place when I visited Italy. The medieval style architecture was pretty neat compared to the typical renaissance/baroque stuff you see in most of the nice parts of Europe. Less flashy and more comfy.
I RECOGNIZE THAT GAY BLOWJOB!!!
>>2857807Ok nigga commie
>>2857813>>2857819>>2857823>>2857851>>2859402Real good work guys, really making this board trash like the rest.

What is the point of travel in 2025?
>>2855687This dude just got old, lazy and tired of being on the move, after years of being in a headlong rush to rack up as many places as he could possibly see. Now he just wants to sit on his front porch and watch his garden grow. No different than someone who spent every free hour carousing around raising hell until he woke up one day thinking "fuck this life, I'm going sober & steady". >>2855844The trick is to never let yourself get into the slump in the first place by lounging around your room the entire day, barely eating, keeping the curtains closed etc. Because once you get yourself stuck in the mud, it's so much more difficult to get going again than it would've been to power through the mud and keep going. Keep going. Keep going. >>2855814You're right. The world is so heaping full of surprising, barely known places. If anything, the Internet has driven the goycattle to swarm a small number of promoted destinations instead of wandering freely along a route like backpacking adventurers of old used to do, experiencing whatever there is to experience whether it be great or awful. >>2855719If everyone you encounter is being aversive or passively hostile with you, it's a reaction to your own sour mood. Of course, such reactions only entrench your bad mood and make it more difficult to escape, which is why it's important (like I said above) to never let yourself get into that bad mood in the first place.
>>2858763Screencapped for posterity.And you're right. I've been thinking a lot again lately about all the opportunities I have come up and I keep wasting them or passing on them with some made up reason in my mind to justify it.I still need to better control my mind and mood and what I allow to influence my actions with how I spend my time.Don't allow myself to be pushed into isolation.
>>2851449it's 2026this thread is as useless as OP
>>2851449Acquiring gastro and/or parasites in a developing country. That's it.
It was for wandering around like a recluse and realizing just how fucked up your life was. God damn.
Spending a week a friend's house in Venetto Italy. Went to Venice, Bologna, Rovigo, Verona, Revana, Forli.Pros:- Not insanely hot- Amazing Food- Beer is not as bad as I thought it woul be.- Everyone looks good, the wops are actually white.- Surprisingly affordable if you aren't dumb.- People are ridiculously friendly, not used to this since I grew up with southerners and they're absolute scum.- Verona is the most beautiful city I've ever seen.- Trains are decent.Cons:- Niggers- Jeets- AbdulsComment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>2858982>>2859010>>2859012Thanks for the feedback anons I'll start looking at Venice hotels
>>2859104Just don't be an idiot, even if you get drunk: people live in Venice.For a list of bacaro this site is a good start: https://www.dissapore.com/grande-notizia/bacari-venezia-mappa/ It's in italian but you can translate it with google.Also, if possible don't visit visit Venice during weekends. It will be even more crowded than usual. Also if you have enough time, try to visit Murano.
>>2859104If you want to save some money (no idea how much lodging can cost you in Venice these days), you can stay at Mestre, which is the first city outside venice (connected by a bridge, there's trains and buses going in and out all the time). However, if you can afford it, staying in Venice proper is super nice, you can stay until late at night and walk the streets when it's all empty, you can get up early and walk around before the waves of tourists hit it. Any neighborhood in Venice will be nice, I've stayed in Arsenale and Canareggio and they're both super nice.
I don't understand why Verona is so popularThere's nothing interesting there apart from the arena and some Roman ruins
>>2859537Giulietta and Romeo. Lol
Hello, Lithuanian guy here. Any Russians still around on this board? If so, how would you rate and rank Russia's cities? Towns? Places in general. Always had an interest in the country but I can't currently go there without getting possibly lynched, which is a shame. Wishing every Rusbro the best... I wanted to check Ukraine too, so if UA people are here, that'd be great.
>>2858875Throughout its history, Russia has been a state where all power was concentrated in one city, and the provinces were its colonies. Moscow and St. Petersburg are probably good cities, but I live in a Russian city of 70,000 people, and the only thing that's happened here is the construction of a large office building.
>>2858875Why are you Lithuanian?
>>2859057a bunch of poeple in SEA are mysteriously lithuanian. it shows up for some reason in their 23me result, but it must be some kind of anomaly because there sure is hell weren't no lithuanians marauding through SEA in the 19th century
>>2859125my 23andme has me as 0.3% lithuanian as well. it added it after the update. i dont believe its accurate. (australian btw)
>>2859463it's probably some kind of inside joke at 23me to make everybody a little bit lithuanian
Flying to Japan next week after a hellish stay here, holy shit no wonder this place is barely talked about there is fucking nothing outside Seoul and a few specific spots worth a damn>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 works>Ha paying with visa? chump, not accepted here why you not have Kakao pay? Oh yeah you need ARC for that lol.>oh that cool thing you saw of these temples/shrines/buildings? Yeah those are closed for uhh idk... Oh no it doesn't look like that really except one short part of the season that lasts for a week or so>every subway smells like kimchi+garlic+fish even if you're on the 5am train it somehow still smells>every historic site is basically a reconstruction of what it might have been way back when Korea was a farming nation>Itaewon is a fucking joke(wasn't expecting much but damn), drinking culture is okay(?) at best>want to go up mountain path or hike get asked "what are you doing here?" by every passing 50 year old park hand?>half the websites barely work when using an English function if you're a foreigner some shit is just completely off the table to attempt even if you want to pay cash>korean men are some of the biggest incels I've met, it's like /pol/ irl>every point of interest you try to find boils down to shopping mall, shopping mall connected to train station, or shopping mall+amusement park>try to find some other tourist tips but it all boils down to "Seoul->DMZ->Gangnam!!! and maybe Jeju">women are decent but have insanely weird expectations on things or full on crazyThe only thing I can say going for this place is that it's cheap in transportation, beer, and food, but I feel like I spend more just to not be bored to death here. 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...
>>2858830This is true. Got a one way ticket from Seoul to Hiroshima for 39 bucks recently. I tend to fly to Seoul between china and Japan when its cheap and they always have nonstop. Sometimes I stay stay an extra day in Seoul too because I miss the food.
If you want an almost free and cool experience go to odaiba during the sunset, buy a beer and enjoy the sunset.
