Some random recommendations, I won't cover all the most obvious tourist sights in Helsinki. Also in Nuuksio, the national park near Helsinki a lot of the campfire spots are taken over by immigrant families which can be frustrating.Helsinki:-Sompasauna: As mentioned before a free outdoor sauna near the sea with nice views. Volunteer run, frequented by locals and tourists alike, mixed saunas and you can go in swimwear. There's also commercial saunas that double as ice swimming spots in the winter, they're fancier but can be quite expensive.-Viikki/Vanhakaupunki: Viikki is a nature reserve rich with birds about half an hour bus ride from the central railway station. There's a lot to see in the region, for example a museum of technology and a dam with a fish ladder, an arboretum, Kuusiluoto: an island accessible by wooden planks through wetlands (also has sheep grazing freely in the summer months).-Kruunuvuorensilta: the longest bridge in Finland, just finished and made just for trams and pedestrians. You can walk along it to Laajasalo island and take a ferry back to the center for the price of a public transport ticket. The bridge also makes a stop on Korkeasaari, a zoo island.-Sugoi: A japanese style gaming arcade about half an hour from the city center. Has a large and changing lineup of games from retro fighting games to driving games, rhythm games and shmups. Hobbyist-run place, all games are free to play and well kept, you just pay for entry. Check the opening times beforehand. Imho better than most arcades in Japan in the current year.-Taivaskallio: A hill with views of the city and an old anti aircraft battery from WW2. Also has a pond with newts and toads at the top.-Putte's: Imho the best pizza in Helsinki. A bit hipstery, in the evenings turns into more of a bar with loud music. Has a lunch deal. Also hosts live music sometimes in the basement.
>>2896736cont'-Kallio: The best neighborhood for bars and drinking. There's a lot of young people but as per the Finnish drinking culture also plenty of old drunkards. Nowadays also a growing number of zombie style junkies doing alpha-pvp.Imatra: A quiet town on lake Saimaa 2.5h by train from Helsinki.-The river Vuoksi running through city center is called a national landscape. There's a dam and a hydropower plant also right in the city center. Most evenings they run water from the dam and you can watch the water rushing through the channel. Also in the center are glacial potholes or giant's kettles.-Valtionhotelli: I'd stay in this hotel, a jugend style palace building from 1903.-It's also a hotspot for gravel cycling (or cross country skiing in the winter if you're into that xD). A route suggestion that takes you to forests, river Vuoksi shores and the Russian border: outdooractive.fi/fi/route/gravel-pyoeraeily/etelae-karjala/imatran-etelaepiste/800622336/For bike rental try Taiga Activities in the same building as Imatra spa.-Saimaa cycle tour for cycling nuts: In june Imatra hosts a cycling sportive event where the main route is 300km around the lake Saimaa. Smaller routes are also available.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>2896737Spacing got fucked but starting from the word Imatra it's a different city.
>>2896736Gold, thanks.
I'm im Singapore for a few days. I love to look at how countries are infrastructure maxxing and have been to Pinnacle at Duxton, HDB hub, URA City gallery and visited some the amazing John Portman hotels featuring mega internal atriums (pic related). Any other recommendations for where I should visit given my interest? Other recommendations not relating to infrastructure maxxing also accepted... Thanks!
>>2896857china, same thing but more of it and better
>>2896857This is /trv/. A board for traveling. This isn't /hoa/ where we talk about living in boring ass suburbs where neighbors snitch on each other for having grass that's the wrong shade of green. Because that's the entirety of Singapore as a country.

> why no Taiwan general in the catalog edition, grok writing the OP editionQuick Start Guide for First Timers:Visa: Most countries get 90 days visa-free. Check if you need an eVisa or ARC if staying longer. Fill out your arrival card online before arriving for less stress.Best Time: Oct–Dec for perfect weather (dry season). Avoid July–Sept typhoon season unless you like rain and chaos.Getting Around: Taipei MRT is clean, cheap, and efficient as fuck. Youbike only needs an easy card and is essentially free unless you want to ride for hours.High Speed Rail (HSR) for city hopping (Taipei Kaohsiung in ~1.5h).Scooters are god outside Taipei. Get an international permit if you plan to ride.Uber works but taxis are cheap. Avoid during rush hour or rain.Food:Night markets are mandatory. Shilin, Raohe, Ningxia, etc.Must eats: Beef noodle soup, stinky tofu (acquired taste), oyster omelettes, bubble tea (original homeland), pineapple cake, mango shaved ice. All you can eat hotpot also.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

>>2896825I travel a lot and earn enough so honestly don't care. It's nice to have the comfort knowing it's there and not worrying about things.Only called it in once and it was in Taiwan going to an international hospital here, amazing experience, all the staff were so good.

What is there to see here?
>>2896506I've lived here almost all my life and I struggle to recommend anything. This state is only really exceptional for civil rights sites. It's also one of only three states with good beaches (along with Florida and Hawaii). There is good food to be sure but nothing elite. Same with landscapes, a few nice ones in the Appalachian foothills but inferior to the rest of the Appalachians. While I don't think Auburn and Alabama have the very best football atmospheres, Alabamians do probably care more about football than any other state, so that might be the thing to see.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuPeGPwGKe8
>>2896772>This state is only really exceptional for civil rights sites.BOOOORRRRRRING
>>2896789Yeah pretty much. It was the last southern state to get filled in due to nothing important being there (it doesn't border the Mississippi or the Atlantic and it's only at the very end of the Appalachians) so it has almost no old south charm. I put it in the group of 10 or so states you just don't really need to visit, right there alongside Delaware, Kansas and others.
>>2896772little river canyon was quite nice I just fear there's not much more to it than that>and it's only at the very end of the Appalachiansthat part is kinda interesting though

Is Laos the DLC of Thailand?
>>2885855That's a retarded Reddit question.
>>2893173There is a distinct wedding season in Laos, so that if you're there during that time, it may seem like wedding noise constantly. When the monks are in lent (rainy season), there are no weddings, so it is relatively quiet then. People in the countryside, especially the minorities, still have a lot of children (unlike Thailand), so many have to be married off.
>>2892577>there are black people in Laos nowIs there anywhere left?
Best places in Laos that aren't Luang Prabang and Vang Vieng?
>>2886702I want to go here unironically. It sounds kino.
I have to make this drive in a few months and i want to break it up so im not in a car for 15 hours straight.Is there any town that's rougly around the halfway point on any of these routes worth visiting?If i take that middle route I'll go through St. Louis around the halfway point but i've heard that town is a nightmare.
>>2895311Why would you take the routes that are 1 or 2 hours longer than the fastest one?
I would take the route through Nashville. Try not to arrive near rush hour. Get some BBQ. Hike Garden of the Gods. Detour through Bluehole Falls and Machine Falls. Go through Chattanooga. Do lookout mountain.
>>2896800>Go through Chattanooga. Do lookout mountain.That's not close to the routes he's considering
>>2896790It's about the journey, not the destination
Why not Branson?

I even went to look at the most western stores/western isles of things. Does nowhere sell just good proper sticks of deodorant?
>>2896002Anon air is still going to get in through the vents in the front along through the door cracks, the movement of a train forward natrually means things will flow one direction.
>>2896028While it is true that each train car performs minor air exchange for ventilation, air conditioners work by cooling the ambient air in summer and heating it in winter. For this reason, opening windows or allowing a massive flow of air through the vents would render the air conditioning ineffective.Furthermore, when the train accelerates to depart, the air flows from front to back; conversely, when it decelerates to stop, the air flows from back to front, meaning the net air displacement ultimately offsets to zero. Additionally, the air remains stationary while the train is traveling at a constant speed. In reality, because the train is a nearly airtight environment and some air exchange occurs within each car, there is no risk of air from the lead car accumulating in the very last car.
>>2895967People from mainland China don't bathe very often, so they smell of body odor. They defecate on the street. They let their children defecate and urinate in the aisles of trains. We don't want to be thought of as the same kind of East Asians as them.
>>2886797Pretty sure that from them jacking off too much to manga smut, not sweat.>>2887244This but unironically
In Worst Korea those fucks scarf down so much garlic that it doesn't matter whether their body naturally smell since they constantly emanate foul sulfuric odors thanks to their diet
Kumusta kaLet’s talk about the Philippines!Discuss out of the way places, interesting things to do that normies and coomers don’t do, living short term, living long term, and share stories.
>>2896497Kek
>>2896593The bracelets? Its just a begging strategy. They are deliberately kept out of school and dressed in rags by the subhuman adult ringleader of their begging gang.Dont ever give them money.
>>2896847paypigs are the ones getting exploited. they are dumber than philippinos in some sense
>>2896808Yes this is precisely it. Dumber and poorer, actually. I’m almost 50 and I have a group of teenage girlfriends. I support all of them, to varying degrees, as is expected of a man of means with a harem. So not all of us are losers & failures. We just like to be bad sometimes. And it’s very easy to be bad in the Philippines. >>2896847We use their women as disposable dumps, recklessly inseminating and impregnating them. And Filipinos countered this indignity by charging us 300 pesos more for a trike ride, or short changing as when we buy cofeee. Good scam fellas, you really pulled a fast on us.
>>2896863Thats what filipinos do to their own women. Its hardly foreigner exploitation if its the norm. Its also 2026 and pinay are able to be on birth control for very cheap if they want. Getting pregnant is a choice. Its not a man's irresponsible choice, its hers for opening her legs for money or fun without being on a pill.
I’ve gotta spend August in Manila (VA exams) I’m coming from Pattaya, can yall suggest a neighborhood? Internet is telling me makati but idk anything about Manila
>>2896577It really is an economic issue. With proper traffic flow pinays could service 2 or 3x as many white cocks per day, increasing their earning potential and ability to support their family drastically.
>>2896522Very old pic. This poor fucker completely destroyed his body with surgery and even crazy shitty tattoos. Suicide soon is my guess.
>>2896582Hahaha no. Since you continue on being a lying retard, I will now post the crowd videos showing how we have way more sharper features than our Asian neighbors who genocided you, but you worship like an idiot.
>>2896583Who are you fooling nigger? New York and Berlin has several times more the number of whores than Manila but you lie through your teeth.
>>2896598Retarded bot comment. You need a new llm, this one sucks.
I feel like the "Kingdom of Wonder" doesn't get talked about much here, why? Cheap visas, quieter than its neighbors, most lax country for TEFLfags, people seem friendly enough. I know there's sexpats and third-world bullshit of course, but that's almost everywhere in SEA. What's the catch?
>>2895710The gun tourism is lame, I shot the RPG and some other stuff, obviously that is cool for the split second you're doing it but overall it was just a big shakedown with the guys constantly upselling us on other stuff and making us give them gas money, other bullshit
>>2895727Yeah, the RPG and auto weapons is the big draw since I come from a country with no civilian firearms ownership. Just one of those things I want to do once and check it off my list. How do you deal with people upselling you on stuff anyway?
>>2895730You have to be thick skinned and firm, keep refusing, but you can only do so much as you're dealing with literal armed men who drove you out to the middle of nowhere. Expect to make concessions.
>>2895710Or you get your head blown off when some Soviet RPG from 1982 explodes in your hands
>>2872991>as an American I'm probabpy safe from thatNo actually as an American you won't get immediatly outed as a scammer when you call someone's demented grandma at 3:00 AM. The triads would absolutely kidnap you and if they thought your government was going to become a problem they would slit your throat, harvest your organs, and bury you in the jungle somewhere (if you are lucky).
