What are good destinations for medical tourism? In Asia I see mainly Thailand, India, and Malaysia mentioned as having good quality of care with good prices and occasionally Taiwan. Any experiences with these or others? Seeing India surprised me, but it is talked about pretty highly from what searching I’ve done.
>>2656098Whites have more class and go to Malaysia or Korea for their procedures. Let the 3rd world go to india
>>2655757Lots of people come to Poland for dentistry, especially from Ireland and UK. On a slightly different note, I think the Norwegian government has a deal with Poland to offer courses in dentistry and medicine, and get decent gibs while they're out here.
>>2655757Turkey and costa rica. i wouldnt fuck with mexico, they dont even have potable water dor fucks sake. some places in europe but depends what youre in for. maybe korea for plastic surgery.unfortunately its cheaper but not necessarily cheap. youre still paying thousands.
>>2655908>>2655916>>2656429be aware that the quality of medical care in malaysia is hugely variablestay away from clinics where the medical staff were just trained locally or where the staff is just malays. also steer clear of any government run place.look out for private places where the staff is mainly chinese and qualified abroad or did their specialist training in the uk/usa/europe/australia. as a foreigner those are the places you are most likely to use anyway. i recommend sunway medical centre in subang jayabe aware that good quality treatment is correspondingly expensivealso be aware that every doctor you see will have lied, cheated and possibly bribed their way to get to their position
Has anyone done a BBL in Thailand? I'm guessing LATAM is best for that but they're sketchy. On the other hand it seems to me that the Asians don't have the expertise in butt enlargements. Not sure if I want to pay 200K in the US. Turkey seems sketchy too.
Whenever I look at videos of China it's just huge cities with soulless skyscrapers and smog. Concrete jungle. I've seen a video on Reddit about Chinese students in America making photos of a rainbow because they never see it in China. They were screaming in excitement. Is it so bad? Materialistic soulless cities. Imagine not seeing a rainbow in your life.Are there actually good places to live in China or is it all depressing?
>>2659143>picrelyou sound like a moron who has never woken up at 5 o 6am. it's called morning fog, you faggot. find another picture if you want "smog." it's not that hard
>>2659172That's not true at all, smog hasn't been a thing in China for more than a decade and street food vendors are a lot more regulated than they were a decade ago.A lot of cities in China are foggy because of natural reasons but pollution related fog is pretty much not a thing anymore and after going to China regularly for 10 years I only ever got sick once and I asked for it buying some random sketchy meat skewers in 2013 at 2am.
>>2659194>ummm akshually it's fog, not air pollution!Gigacope I've heard from countless chinese. Does it look like this and the air smells like shit? Yeah, that's air pollution. I think the problem stems from the fact that chinese have spent their entire lives with poor air quality and cannot instinctively tell the difference. Try growing up in a country w/ < 50 AQI and get back to me after spending a week in any chinese city
>>2659143Living in Shanghai, barely ever see smog. It's mostly blue skies.
>>2659204If you heard from countless Chinese about this then why are you asking it here? Can the mods do their fucking jobs and ban bait threads?
Ive got 5k i can use, which country should i visit to relax, also im a coomer, so sex tourism is fine, but not a big deal to me. Im thinking>Italy>romania>or somewhere in LATAM
>>2656979sorry forgot pic
>>2656979>>2656980I understand you, i only coom now because im a 30 year old single man. I use sex with multiple women to just fill the hole inside. it never fills, but it feels good. I miss just going somewhere and meeting an adventurous girl with the same heart for adventure as me. last one was when i was 25 with a new Zealand girl i hiked with in Colorado.I wasted my late 20s, during covid throwing most of my time and money away to family, times were tough, had to take care aging parents and younger siblings. I just want to live man.
>>2656795Fuck mexico and fuck mexicans. Dont trust anyone down there or even in the US. Nothing worse then a fucking latino cop.

>>2658764>sidewalks everywhere for biking>mostly grid layout>tons of places for shopping needsWhat's exactly wrong with this?
Is there anything to do in Billings Montana? I know it’s not technically Midwest but it’s still flat and next to the Dakotas.
>>2659212>sidewalks everywherewhere? certainly not on the major roads where you need to go to get anywhere, believe me I've tried, going to places like that on business and trying to leave my hotel carless, or sidewalks in those winding suburbs that purposefully lead to dead ends?>gridyou can put poop inside of a grid and it's still poop even if it's theoretically efficient>tons of places for shopping needsby car.

going to the netherlands soonany recommended places to visit?also gonna get fucked up so advice on easy to get boner pills would be helpful. can they be bought in pharmacies with no recipes?
No boner pills, but im sure in Amsterdam you can het them quite easily from dealers. Also just stay in Amsterdam. It has all the musea and architecture you want to see. If you have plenty of time or get bored in Amsterdam, visit one of the other cities like Haarlem, Leiden, Delft, Utrecht, The Hague etc.
>>2658660Buy a lot of cocaine and mdma and smuggle it back to your country

An old friend and I are flying to Zurich on Friday, to spend about two weeks exploring the region. Current plan is to spend a few days in Switzerland before heading North by train. The only 'planned' activity is to visit a small town outside Cologne, which is where my ancestors lived before they migrated to the US in the 1850s.Besides that, we have no real plan or structure around how we will spend our time or where we will go. I am used to traveling domestically in the US, so the scale makes it seem like it would be relatively easy to see Eastern France, Belgium, and Netherlands while we are there. I'm generally interested in avoiding very tourism focused areas, and enjoying whatever the local areas have to offer. Food, drink, scenery, meeting people. I had considered looking for some live music in the cities we'll be in as a way to meet locals.My only travel outside the US was to Shanghai, which I enjoyed but was very different than I expect this part of Europe to be.Any general advice or suggestions on how to make the most of our time in the region?
Heidelberg is a must if you are in the area. Freiburg is also nice, it's a student city so it is very lively.
>>2657351It’s not really on your suggested route, and I cannot, as a local, honestly recommend Basel as a tourist destination, but your autism might also enjoy the salt works in one of our suburbs: https://www.salz.ch/enI chaperoned a field trip there with my kids’ school and was really satisfied with my experience.
>>2658989Also nice and not far from there is Colmar. Super touristy but legit beautiful.On the German side of the Rhine, I really like Freiburg (the one in BaWu, not one of ten others). Pretty, tiny little university city.
You can easily spend 2-3 days in Zurich, not the city but the surrounding area. Boat ride up to Rapperswil, Zoo Zurich is awesome, Hiking the Pfannenstil, Old town of Winterthur.Verkehrshaus in Luzern might be a thing for you, Trains, Airplanes, a total autists wet dream. https://www.verkehrshaus.ch/Lake Constanz is awesome, Bregenz and Lindau can be done in one session and is totally worth it, Konstanz is also great.While going towards Basel stop by at Augusta Raurica in Kaiseraugst. and see some roman remains. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augusta_Raurica
>>2657329If you like historical stuff and enjoy just being lazy for a while, definitely ride the Steamship on Lake Zurich, go sit in the historic salon and sip some beers while watching the scenery go by. At the far end of the lake there's Rapperswil which has a cute little old town with some famous rose gardens. Otherwise you can combine the steamship with a visit to the historic Einsiedeln Monastery, although you have to see that you can get your timetable right, the steamer only runs once or twice a day (the whole trip both ways is about 3 hours).You only need a regular ticket for the steamship and no reservation either, it runs like any other regular boat. On the website you can check if it's running and at what time (usually always the same times)
tell me EVERYTHING you know about this countryIn particular:-is it going to be too hot and rainy in late may - early june-are there giant spiders

Going to bangalore for a month. What are some things I should do there? Any advice or hacks from experienced India /trv/elers?
>weed LMAOOkay but what do you actually DO there? I got a short stint during the summer, but looks like the best thing to do with your time is take a day trip into the mountains. Any other recommendations?
>>2657807>Denver has god tier public transit
>>2658267I don't often ride public transit but I thought Denvers was better than any of the west coast cities I've been to. Is it not good public transit?
>>2658528well I've never been to denver but doing some research, it has a surprising amount of lines for a city it's size but most are trams that run on roads a lot and all have at minimum 10 minute frequencies with half being 30 minute frequencies which is really bad for rail transit. Vancouver, canada only has technically 3 (though they split off at points so it could be counted as up to 5) but the frequencies are 3-5 minutes, at worst 8-10 when there are serious issues.
>>2658528It has better public transportation than most cities, but seattle mogs denver in that regard.
>>2657557Black Hawk/Central City is good for a day trip and if you like to gamble. Some decent used bookstores around Capital Hill if you like books. Black and Read West of Westminster is pretty good to shop and I want more Comics and Games around that area is worth checking out. Mile High Comics decent too. No idea what else you might be interested in since you didn't mention any hobbies or interests.
I just got back from Seattle and had my worst travel experience ever. What a miserable place. Dirty, ugly, and extremely dangerous. On my first day, I went to Pike Place and saw a crackhead taking a dump in the middle of the street. Drug users shouting and threatening people in broad daylight, and the population just walks around as if nothing is happening. I'm Brazilian and, despite agreeing that Brazil is a cursed country, I can assure you that a lot of what happens in Seattle doesn't even happen in Brazil.Every business in the city was keen on displaying LGTV++++++ and BLM flags everywhere, and everything there seems to be wrong and bad. A $20 pizza costs literally double because of some stupid regulation to pay more to delivery drivers. Not only that, I also saw a bunch of people eating French fries every single single morning (eating fried food in the morning should be a crime).What really scared me was the number of leftist freaks roaming the streets. Combine that with black people, crackheads, and homeless people, and you have the worst city on the planet. I say with absolute certainty: I would have preferred to go sightseeing in Africa than in this sewer called Seattle. Such bad vibes.
>>2658735>Such bad vibes.thisI lived there for a year, I had instant regret the first week I moved and decided I had to get out after only 1 month, but could only do it later I seriously think Seattle is built on a hellmouth or something. Everybody there is a whackjob or loser or psycho or depressed. Rampant drug use, prostitution (not the fun kind, the pitiful gross kind), homelessness, crazy bullshit in public. never going back, absolutely disgusting city and insanely expensive for what you get (nothing)
>>2658735Did you stay downtown the entire time or something? There's so much beauty around the area just leave the city jeez
>blah blah blah... in broad daylight, and the population just walks around as if nothing is happeningProbably because all that shit happens every day. People here are a fucking mess.You're here for the nature, the money, or you're insane.
>>2658818Chill, nigger. I'll give you a treat next time I visit Shitattle.
diaper don can fix it though
What are you supposed to say? I said Tourism and then he asked how long I will be staying and I said 4 weeks and he gave me a funny look but still let me in. I’m working from my laptop btw I just didn’t want to say that in case it caused me issues
>>2657183Sure, but this guy was not Norwegian. He would have been exempted from nothing.
well sir im here to leave on the cheap and eat local food hoping it'll trick my neurons into producing just the slightest amount of dopamine so i can postpone my eventual suicide just a bit longer
>>2657020Who the fuck does tourism for 4 weeks, you realize these people are trained to spot liars right?
>>2652439>I want to enrich this beautiful land with my DNA officer, spreading my seed among local female population
>>2659069Seeking a wife is a perfectly valid answer btw.
I'm planning a trip to China this summer. Is it possible to book one of these caves on Airbnb? I'm from a European country and prefer traveling to impoverished communities so I can appreciate the smaller things in life to a greater extent

>>2642158Wow a China thread with literally nothing to do with traveling in China. Nice board.

Flying to Milano with family in a month and we want to rent a car and then travel around the country for two weeks, staying at hotels or airbnb on the way. Where do you recommend we head and what is the best accommodation for us?I think something like Milano-Pisa-Florens-Bolonga-Venedig-Milano looks interesting and it makes logistical sense. Is this a good investment of our limited time and given our starting point of Milano?
>>2658894Italy is nice and fun. I'm not a travel advisor though so maybe try /adv/
>>2658894depends on what you want to see/doas a general recommendation, if you're just going big city to big city the italian rail system is pretty solid and better than a car imo, unless you're going into the countrysideif venedig is venice then good, venice is definitely worth going to. pisa is a shithole, could stop passing by if you must for the leaning tower for half a day but for a two week trip probably not worth the time. i'd consider adding genoa
>>2658894>VenedigSomalis are not welcome in Venezia.Also, what are you in this family? The dad or the 30 years old virgin loser son?
My mother wants me to take her to Turkey. Is this a country worth visiting or is it a shithole? Do they hate greek descent people?
Yes we investigate every American tourist at the border and if she/he has a Greek ancestor at some point in his/her family tree then we hate them for the entire trip.
>>2658673>we hate them for the entire trip.However, they will still gladly take your money>t. visited Turkey
>>2658672Yeah it is kind of a shithole but about as safe as most major American cities.Don’t mention religious/political shit, ignore all touts/gypsys, keep your wits about you and haggle if you mind paying the foreigner tax. If you like history I think it’s worth visiting and the west has some beautiful places. However if you’re brown and don’t speak Turkish forget about cooming and every Turk will assume you’re an Arab .
>>2658672Greek:TurkishYou really can't tell the difference until they speak
>>2658789>Don’t mention religious/political shit, ignore all touts/gypsys, keep your wits about you and haggle if you mind paying the foreigner tax.Sounds like California.
I want to fuck off and move to Chile in a year's time. I will graduate next spring in a science field with a dogshit gpa from a good school. Obviously it goes without saying that I need a remote job, but I'm not a codefag or itfag. What do I need to do to make this happen? Not only in terms of getting a job, but also visa, learning Chilean Spanish (which I hear is hard to understand), which cities to visit before confirming that I want to move there, etc.
>>2658942Stfu, Chile is safer than Poorgentina especially in the souf
>>2658945Argentina is cheaper and mendoza is safe.getting residence is easier, when you become argentinian you can come and stay.
>>2658927this country is boring as fuck. check this:https://nomadlist.com/santiagohttps://nomadlist.com/vina-del-maralso check the "Neighborhoods" tab. 3/4rds of santiago are relatively dangerous. the rest are the upper middle class/rich parts. lots of venezuelan and colombian immigrants came her in the last decade including criminals, and some of those fuckers are VIOLENT.I have no idea about the legal stuff but you should check facebook groups (inb4 boomer) for expats in chile. also, I just googled "chile expats" and got a bunch of results so I guess that's good enough.anyway, both chile and argentina (since Milei, check >>2657092) are expensive as shit for no reason whatsoever, so be prepared for that.also, because of said immigrants, you probably will have to do long lines to get resident visa if you ever decide to get one. btw, here's an article on how to get them:https://www.expat.cl/guide-chile/living-chile/things-to-know-before-moving-to-chile/there seems to be a lot of info here:https://www.expat.cl/guide-chile/living-chile/right now the peso is gaining more value against the dollar, after falling a couple of years, so I guess you could buy now to have some more $$ when you come here. of course no one can predict the future and if you don't care about losing or gaining 10% more or something then just ignore this.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>2658927>>2658959(cont) interestingly, I always find a lot of useful info from expats about chile. here's a "brutally honest" interview, and indeed I found it very honest:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlopEl9GCyIbtw, renting here is a fucking mess. you have to pay a rent guarantee, you have to "demonstrate" a stable source of income and sign a contract for a year. rent is expensive, and also "gastos comunes" (communal expenses in condos) are getting more and more expensive....I have no idea how immigrants rent here but I bet most of them fake their papers or get someone to help them by renting in their name.also, people here love "gringos". from what I've noticed, some people love to surround themselves with US/european expats because they feel they become "higher social status" or some shit kek. of course those people don't really represent the average chilean but hey, at least they can become easy friends. I think it's mostly right-wingers who think white foreigner = better person, or something.
>>2658970finally, consider that almost everything went up at least 20% after that video was made, so it's even MORE expensive now!enjoy chile :^)
