What should i do? Been to Japan this year, did the popular route and i've enjoyed it. Now i think i could also try to go to China but im not sure. I am now more familiar with Japan, for China i know nothingAt the same time there are cool places in China... What to do? Experience China and visit the popular stuff, or go to Japan again and do Okinawa maybe and some other place?
China is massive and easy to get around. Just install Wechat or Alipay and get payments set up. Trains are cheap and take you anywhere in the country fast, and taxis are stupidly cheap as well. Going somewhere like Taiwan is more trouble than it's worth. It's basically just a more run down Japan with nothing of interest to see. And Japan is just sick of tourists, even if they're not personally saying it to you in English. But the news and social media is 24/7 nonstop hating on tourists. Conversations with Japanese people is nonstop complaining about tourists. Nobody wants them. China, meanwhile, does love visitors.As another poster said, Chongqing is nice. Lots of nature nearby (Wulong has a nice canyon). Dazu has some incredible rock carvings from about 1000 years ago. Both are easily accessible with a day trip. The city itself is also beautiful with some old town districts mixed with the skyscrapers.Shanghai is also hard to go wrong with. Suzhou is nearby and has some impressive gardens and canals.Beijing is basically Chinese Kyoto. Zhangjiajie is beautiful and otherworldly. The mountains there look just like old Chinese paintings. You've probably seen pictures of it inside neighborhood Chinese restaurants.
>>2850156>Beijing is basically Chinese Kyoto.Plus people spitting everywhere, dirty almost india level, scammers, diarrhea food, dangerous road traffic, people shouting in your ears, pollution, Chinese don't do any maintainance. There is a reason why Chinese tourists are flooding Kyoto.
>>2850250Where did you stay in Beijing?
>>2850258He didn't. Or if he did, he stayed there decades ago.
>>2847936Everyone keep telling me that you should always experience new countries instead of visiting ones you have already seen. But I loved Japan so much I want to go back already. It never happened for any other countries before (and I have seen a lot).I was tempted to do Taiwan for ten days perhaps, then moving on to Japan. Perhaps doing China then Japan could be your solution if you have enough days off
Multi-millionaire inheritance bequeathed white millenial here. 35 yo no gf no friends family mostly dead. What's a good african country where I can volunteer and do some good? I want to give back to society but not the western freakshow society I live in. Is there somewhere safe in africa that needs help?
>>2848775volunteering is a racket that takes away potential jobs from the local population, if you want to do some good just volunteer at your local soup kitchen or something
>>2848946>Implying local sou(p)s chefs don't need work
>>2848775Go to Rwanda and give those white people obsessed women a white baby.
Don't go to Africa. Nepal, India, south America, plenty of other places that need your money.
ITT Retards: OP doesn't want to actually volunteer. He wants to go to some country, donate some time breaking the ground where a well/school/etc will be built, donate a few 100 or 1000's in USD, then get a high five from the people who will take the money to go buy guns. Meanwhile, OP has some pictures of how he was just like hekkin mr beast and helping poor kids to thot girls.
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. Why be another normie that traveled to Japan or Thailand.>theyll kill me cause im white No they dont just show them you're actually a beast who shouldn't be messed with. There are Russian truck drivers in Congo , Ukrainian helicopter drivers in Somalia and Chinese shop owners in Afghanistan. Where's your ambition and passion for life to seek out danger and adventure anon
>>2849848>Way down deep in the middle of the Congo, a hippo took an apricot, a guava and a mango. He stuck it with the others, and he danced a dainty tango.>The rhino said, "I know, we'll call it Um Bongo", Um Bongo, Um Bongo, They drink it in the Congo.>The python picked the passion fruit, the marmoset the mandarin. The parrot painted packets, that the whole caboodle landed in.>So when it comes to sun and fun and goodness in the jungle, They all prefer the sunny funny one they call Um BongoCheers oldfag
There's a kino blog about a couple who drove through Congo
>>2849749CAR is the true destination for basedboiz right now.
Afghanistan is okay if you have a guide and situational awareness but Idk if I trust the other ones to be safe for the average person
Going to do Guyana's as one trip. Seems like an interesting place
>ends your traveling life
>>2849236Only if you're a poorfag
Good. Adults don't travel, except for business.
>>2849236Nothing to worry about. You will never have kids anyway.
>>2849236I have no intention of getting a house or a car, or even a girlfriend. I'm going to live with my parents until I can move to another country and then I'll spend my time travelling until I'm poor and move in with my parents again. That's the best way to live.
>>2849236Nothing to worry about I got a vasectomy heh
What happens here? My wagecucking is having the annual "corp retreat" next summer at a beachside resort.I figure it's just like DR: "stay in bounds otherwise you will be kidnapped for organ harvesting and/or sex slavery as soon as you step into town"
>>2849211Never actually been to Durres. All my seaside recommendations would be down in the Rivieria. You planning to move around at all?Durres is pretty normie tier, you'll be fine. There's loads of package cunts down there. Quite popular with Poles.
>>2849187>Albania's a great place.It's the worst country in Europe. People kick dogs in the street, harass random women and its also full of muslims. Smelly streets full of trash and everyone wears horrible black puffer jackets. Shithole
>>2849729Which place did you think was the worst when you went, mate?
>>2849557gonna be 5 nights, is it easy to get to Tirana from there? (train preferred)
>>2850412lmao, the '''''''train''''' is ogre. it's quicker to cycle. it runs like once a day and takes some stupid like 5 hours. apparnetly it has bullet holes in it and all the glass is smashed up, too,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6NQudzqAAYthere'll be loads of buses between the 2. Gjirafa Bus has 'official' coaches with an actual timetable, but there's also shitload of minibuses which leave when full. desu, a private car between the 2 won't cost much at all. Tirana has multiple bus stations, make sure you get the right one back to Durres.
Alaska, any good? I have a high likelihood of being stationed in Anchorage.
>>2849556No public transport whatsoever and in many cases ferries or air transport is needed if you live very remote.Telling you, it's hard as fuck up there.
>>2849341I loved that show
S-tier outdoorsEverything else is horribleMiserable climate 9 months out of the year, then worst mosquitos you'll ever see the other 3 months. Everyone is an alcoholic or on drugs. Dating is nonexistent and if you hook up with a local you'll somehow get dragged into bullshit drama with her junkie ex. The novelty of incredible fishing, snowmobiling, hiking, etc fades after a year. 1/10 do not recommend Alaska.
>>2849341I watched this anime, pretty meh
>>2848463I prefer Coke, but Pepsi is okay if that's all they have. PLEASE don't tell me they only have off-brands like Faygo or RC.
>go to another country>feel anxious and depressed while traveling>come back>feel peaceful at home>still want to visit another country again after 1 monthwhat cause this?
>>2850375i like about my home that mom cares about me, doing delicious dinner while i can talk to people and provide money. But i hate about home that nothing happens there, i have no friends and i feel i am pissing away my time. Travelling i feel i am doing something worthy because i am seeing lot of new things and get lot of dopamine. I feel lonely because no one looks and wants to talk with surplus male. I feel anxious while in another country because conscious how little time left and i may be at that moment in some place which i will not visit because i will forget it and remind myself the day i have to go back - very anxious about that, that i will miss some place to see at given city and then feel forced to go back again in unforeseeable future. Worried i dont get enough memories and worth from travel because i secretly dont care about amy material things around me
>>2850395Thank you for sharing your feelings. You are valuable. You are enough.
>>2850396he is not OP
>>2850398Shh. You don't need to pull someone down to build yourself up. We see you. We hear your voice. You matter.
>>2850369On the off-chance that you're actually looking for advice, ADHD meds helped me with this.
what are your tips and tricks for wearing and carrying clothes abroad? im planning on being about a week abroad on a budget flight so i can only take the bare minimum and will basically be on the same outfit everyday, only changing underwear/socks
useless neet herehow do i find suspenders that fit?
>>2850378For a week 3+1 Shirts and sets of underwear are more than enough giving you enough room for a second Pan/Pullover going into a carry-on. Just wash it in your room when you shower and it's dry in a day max.Remove most of your toiletry, beside perfume, just use the provided stuff(hotels will give you lotion, shampoo and shower gel, at hostels there will be so many left behinds just use that) and buy what you need for change at your destination.
>>2850378I dress the same way I do at home. I don't understand why I would dress differently while traveling, unless it's for a specific activity
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.
>>2850191>and few of those women are young cutiesSo what? Why not a chubby hairy cloth auntie.
I want to travel Bihar because Bihar - Nepal was where Buddha was living and teaching and where first council was conducted. Redpill me on northern India and Buddhist pilgrimage places. Is Bihar that bad now?
>>2846184They don't have to go out to work like the men do. They are pampered at home and treated like queens.
>>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?
I am an American who will be visiting Germany, my ancestral homeland. How do I make the most of my time? I love history and museums, but I'd also like to meet some locals. Open to all suggestions.
>>2850115for about 2.5 weeks
>>2850115My suggestions: Beer at the spree river in Berlin, currywurst, döner. Berlin has all the history and tons of museums.. just check what you are interested in. Munich is like a huge village, more laid back, good Bavarian food. Dresden has lots of beautiful architecture. For castles and mountains it may make sense to rent a car(?). That way you can also see more rural Germany, that is much different from cities. Also nice to stop by some smaller towns. Landsberg am Lech is very beautiful and doesn't have much tourism so you can see very authentic Germany. It's where an Austrian wrote is book in prison. Johnny Cash was also there for some years but who cares (I do). You can combine it with visiting Andechs where monks make great beer. Good pork too. Neuschwanstein is an hour from there. Partnachklamm is cool. I also enjoy the Königssee, but there is lots of tourism.
>>2850145I'm guessing the Germans are pretty good drivers? I though about roadtripping, I would have to get an international license.
>>2850115Fellow burger and Krautland traveler here. If you're going to see Neuschwanstein, definitely stop through the town of Fussen. Storybook village at the foothills of the alps, good restaurants. I had a magical time there, though the lodging options are slim. My favorite place in the whole country. Up near Hamburg the village of Hameln is similarly gorgeous. For me though, if I were going to do a generalized "Germany trip", I would focus around the mid/south west, you've got Heidelberg for small town/university charm with a castle overlook, Baden-Baden for baths, Europa Park, Freiburg (comfy mid-sized city with amenities, not overladen with filth), Baiersbronn if you're into haute cuisine (Michelin star capitol of Germany), the Blautopf, there's a lot of good stuff down that way. Lot of caves too but they're only open in summer.
>>2850147They are, it's very safe. Roads are in very good condition too, mostly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-G28iyPtz0
>do digital nomad since start of the year>map out year through trv threads>blast for the first 6 months>go to Philippines get feel sick nearly every day from the smell of car exhaust, poop on side streets, constant lack of hygine>get really sick and leave after 1 month as it's as bad as what I imagine Detroit is like >over the past ~6 weeks have had nothing but feeling tired all the time not leaving my airbnb/hotel outside weekends>get depressed feeling like I am wasting the opportunities I have>decided to stop after Halloween festivals begin heading home>3 weeks later feeling more motivated, happy, and going back to the gym again>ready and eager to go back out but flight prices are mental right nowWhy didn't anyone tell me that having a 'home base' to return to is a normal part of this lifestyle? How do you keep yourselves motivated abroad? I feel trying to plan events each month around my travels would be the best bet.
>>2848226>Airbnb would be nice but it's gigafucked in the USA for month-to-month.Why do you say this?
>>2848323Go look at airbnb prices for month-to-month style renting and get back to me.Places you would like to be during winter in the USA are insanely priced with many places being just private bedroom/shared living space. Maybe it's because I often look at the American South West but man those prices go up quick to 1500/mo for something decent.>>2848321NTA but you can easily get those prices in North Dakota, wouldn't suprise me if South Dakota was the same and other parts of the midwest had deals like that. Des Moines has a bunch of 450-600 dollar places around Altoona, best to use facebook market place for those deals though.
>>2841649Yeah I visit my parents, but I don't have the entitlement mentality to claim their house as my home base and stay there for more than a few days at a time.
>>2841629something I've never understand about the nomad lifestyle, isn't the monday to friday business of the life the same everywhere, even in your home country? you can't seriously work at a coffee shop for 8 hours (or the beach lol), so most of your time will be at home/hostel/hotel/airbnb. then you need to eat. sure it sounds great to eat out all the time especially if it's not expensive, and you'll probably do this the first few months, but depending on the country you won't be eating that well, even in japan the food had too much rice/carbs, so you'll want to go to the grocery store and start making your own food. then you'll need some form of exercise like the gym. all of this is boring weather you're in your home country or a new place. are you digital nomads living for the weekend like everyone else or do you have time during the work week to go to cool places?
>>2850178>isn't the monday to friday business of the life the same everywhere, even in your home country?Yeah but I can do things up till about 4PM local time for festivals and still be up for work. Not to mention tons of the events on weekends I normally wouldn't do.>sure it sounds great to eat out all the time especially if it's not expensive, and you'll probably do this the first few months, but depending on the country you won't be eating that well, even in japan the food had too much rice/carbs,Just book an airbnb with a kitchen, most hostels have shared kitchens to cook. Japan is fucking easy mode just look for an AEON and boom done, prepped meals or near ready to eat.>isn't the monday to friday business of the life the same everywhere, even in your home country?Anytime fitness is flat rate for all gyms world wide.>do you have time during the work week to go to cool places?My work is project based meaning some days I just have fuck all to do. When I am working it's usually 11PM->6ish AM, so from 6AM to 3ish PM I can do whatever I want. Really if you can't kill a lot of fun things between 6-3PM you're just bad at traveling and planning.
Rest in peace, ma'am.

tl;dr Seeking suggestions for:-places to live-entry level jobsUS citizen moving back to the US soon, after a few year stint in Europe. I am not traveling; I plan to stay in one place. I know nobody in the US except my parents, who won't help me. So I need to land and then start living out of a backpack, building a new life from scratch.Where is a good place to live, and why? Preferably a place where I can walk or bike to work (or a job that provides travel). I have only lived in more medium/smaller-sized cities, and have never lived in one of the major metropolises, but I have been considering them.Where is a good place to work, and why? Places you have heard people enjoy working at, who treat their employees well, pay well, and have a low turnover rate because people like it. Or better yet: good places you have worked or currently work at.Specific examples for locations and jobs are better than broad generalisations, but will I appreciate any input. Assume I am young or old and have no degree or significant work experience, so entry-level only. My goal is simply to get my own cheap place and work for at least a few years to build up savings again, while getting training or education for something long-term.Oh and if you happen to know a good international opportunity, I am all ears. Current similar threads: >>2841496 and >>2817321And there are a few similar "where2live?" threads >>2839531 >>2848081 >>2839810 but they are looking for their own specific criteria which don't align with mine. Homeless advice thread >>2839861 since that is already part of my backup plan.
>>2849520>US citizen moving back to the US soon, after a few year stint in Europeget job offers first and then compare
>>2849735Pshh, it was about 20 years ago, so I wouldnt be much help securing a position. They get lots of people "saying" they want to go but chicken out so you need to make it very clear "Youre very serious about it." otherwise theyre kind of ignore you.>>2849758Yeah, I was in Valdez for Copper River Delta salmon tendering. Fucking amazing beauty, the snowy mountains start right at the ocean line. I went back to the general area a couple years ago for touring purposes.Long hours of grueling labor but I was also co-pilot so I also had long haul nights and mornings.
>>2849806>ValdezCordova, we just visited Valdez to offload.But there is basically always a season going on for something. Kind of wish I tried to infamous crab fishing in the Bering sea, being I went into the Army after this I feel like I would have cake-walked it a bit. You know, flex to the universe in private.
>>2849735>besides fishing boatsCannery, where they gut and process the fish. I dont really recommend, you'll work with third worlders they import for cheap and the work is painfully repeatative, swollen hands from 12 hour shifts of cutting open thousands of fish and ripping its guts out kind of shit.I visited Juneau and Anchorage recently, its pretty darn modern and the downtown vibe is fairly lefty/liberal. Im sure it gets desolate "way out there" but if youre around any city it wont feel *that* remote.
>>2849758Yeah? Getting a temporary sucky job that pays a bunch that also lets you not have to worry about rent is a pretty good way to get financially stable.
Are there any countries I can visit and legally bring cannabis into for personal consumption?
>>2844061UAE is also worth visiting
>>2843630anywhere, just make sure to sneak it into someone else's bag first
>>2849793Crazy suggestion combo
>>2844285>> just grow your own 3 plants in your garden / on your balcony (cannabis is an really easy plant)doesn't it need a load of water and constant light?when i was a student living in a shared house we grew it in mugs on our kitchen windowsillone of the residents eventually tried it and said it was awful. of course they could have just said that so they could keep it for themselves i supposeafter that we mainly just kept the plants to show how edgy we were

Live in Vancouver and hate the place. After BC, Canada's living options pretty much boil down to living on frozen plains, Khalistan (Ontario), Frenchie Land. So naturally I want to leave this country. Where is there to go?
>>2849707Canadians are fucking freaks and idiots. im 33 and have lived here my entire life. the only good thing about being born here is too learn from this place and never come back and warn others about it and the way people act
>>2849750I feel the same way but I don’t think internationals really realize the severity of how bad Canada has gotten. It’s fair since if you’ve never spent a significant amount of time here and maybe even never been there at all of course the stereotypes/general expectations is all you’ll hear.A lot of Canadians are unapproachable and cold like the fucking weather, even if they act nice it’s typically in an externally fake nice type of way.Meanwhile they’re so ignorant they re-elected the party that fucked the whole country over, the same party that just scapegoats America for every issue while they’re the one fucking everything up.It’s like pointing to your neighbour and saying “They’re poisoning me” meanwhile you’re the one chugging a big bottle of poison in your hands.I’ve hated this shithole country for years I wish I wasn’t associated with it but my parents fucked here raw so here we are.
The people that keep saying this either: a) never do it (posturing), b) do it but it's a shithole like Thailand, UAE, South America etc. c) people who did b) but are too ashamed to admit it People who don't talk about it probably just took a job in the USA in their field most likely, people seem to have proximity bias and for Canadians there's no other option in that regard
I'll swap you t. Mexican
