Do European countries arrest foreign tourists for offensive social media posts? I am American, and as an American, we have free speech. I use my freedom of speech to say things on X, on an account that is not linked to my real name, that would be considered by some to be offensive. I say things that are anti-immigrant and occasionally racist. It's my right to feel that way and to say how I feel. However, I know that freedom of speech does not exist in Europe. I am planning a trip that starts in the Netherlands and ends in Germany before flying back. I have never been outside of America before. I am worried that they'll be able to detect my app on my phone, read my posts, and try to punish me for my posts.How do I avoid this? Should I never open X at all while I'm over there? Should I delete the app from my phone before I fly over? Are people in those countries allowed to use 4chan? I don't know how to navigate in a country without the first amendment. I don't plan to say anything offensive in public, I just want to have a good time.

I live in an actually totalitarian country without free speech.I actually wanted to do a Roman salute next to this disgustingly philosemitic banner but it’s illegal in Argentina, I did my research and avoided jail time but this just shows that people can’t express themselves freely here.I’ve also looked up flag burning laws and wouldn’t you guess it, it’s illegal in Argentina too.Oddly enough flag burning is legal in Denmark and Sweden, so if I traveled there I could actually burn an Israeli flag in public to show my support for the Palestinian people.
>>2893933>support for the Palestinian people.Must be a shitty education system there
>>2893935Argentina's education system is indeed crap. Why do you think Milei got so many votes and won the last election?Only high IQ people support Palestine THOUGHT.

How much of a drug addict are you that you need to bring shrooms with you?
>>2893807Have you ever seen "special mushrooms"? They look a little different.
>>2893831>You know numerous Asian countries will literally execute you or give you life in prison if you’re caught with paraphernalia OP?They really don't, though. Sure, they have the laws on the books, but they only use them for extreme cases.The drug-smuggling executions I've read about in Singapore all involved large quantities of heroin, and defendants who were invariably some penniless SEAmonkey.I resided in Taiwan for most of the last 20 years and of the two drug trafficking cases involving foreigners that I know of, one resulted in a Canadian (who was smuggling pot and cocaine in hollowed-out ESL textbooks, for sale to his ESL students) getting 20 years, the other (American who grew 400 pounds of dried marijuana "for personal use") resulted in a sentence of two years.Ironically, the American guy was so devastated by the two-year sentence (which he only would have had to serve one year in Taiwan, and optionally could have gone back to the U.S. to serve out the remaining year) that he committed suicide in the courtroom. I think he was afraid he would be deported at the end even though he was married to a Taiwanese woman and had two or three kids with her.Oh, there was another one involving some tiny amount of pot for personal use by some guy and his Taiwanese girlfriend; neither of them was willing to rat out the other, both claimed it was their own and was solely for themselves, and so both were sentenced to treatment and probation.
>>2893934>>2893807>>2893872>It smells like a mushroom, tastes like a mushroomAnother pic of a different strain. You see that blue color? That's a major clue that the mushroom is a "shroom". According to Paul Stamets, that is what oxidized psilocybin looks like. I'm not sure he's correct about that, but his test for whether a mushroom is a psilocybin "shroom" is (1) has gills, (2) turns that sort of blue when bruised, and (3) has black or purple spores.That doesn't mean that other mushrooms aren't "shrooms", such as certain sporeless mutant strains of psilocybin-carrying shrooms, but he says he's never found an example where those three things happen and the mushroom turns out not to have psilocybin in it.
RIP Fun Spot Atlanta and ArieForce One Edition>Last Thread: >>2886860Summer season is now on!>What is this thread? Why are there two generals?/rcg/ was initially created as a way for the roller coaster enthusiasts on here to discuss all things roller coasters and theme parks. While roller coasters are the main focus of these threads (and the title of the general) there is also discussion on other theme parks, their rides, as well as the parks themselves and trip planning too. That's where /tpg/ comes in.>Can I talk about Disney/Universal parks in this thread?Absolutely! Disney/Universal discussion of all sorts including rides/resorts/dining/trip planning is OK.General Rules:1. Talk about Theme Parks and/or Rollercoasters.2. There is no second rule.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>2893877>>2893907Just admit you're a pussy and utterly terrified of big rollercoasters/thrill rides. That's what the basis is for your derision of regional parks. You'd never go to one because you know you'd have to challenge yourself and it's easier to stay in your hugbox park.
>>2893912Disney fans will complain about rides being copied between coasts while thoosies will ride the same coaster models that only come in one track layout and pretend they're different in any meaningful way beyond what basic theming the regional park can afford to give it.
>>2893912I'm a pussy and utterly terrified of big rollercoasters/thrill rides. Parking lots still suck, and you're still a poorfag with no taste. I better not catch you at Sea World or Busch Gardens either. If I see you, I'm gonna waddle over and slap the shit outta you.
>>2893926> I better not catch you at Sea World or Busch Gardens either. If I see you, I'm gonna waddle over and slap the shit outta you.Based and waddlepilled
>>2893893Not everyone enjoys being in ugly places. Most don't in fact.>>2893912Cedar Point isn't regional. Both its workers and its guests often come from other countries. Unfortunately, its appeal isn't wide enough to actually charge for admission. My brother got in twice in May with his gold pass he purchased for $55 from SFOG last year. If he went to a quality park he would have had to spend money.
what are some hotel/travel hacks that most people don't know?
If there are any hacks that are actually worthwhile, such knowledge would be tightly safeguarded. If too many people know about it, it won't work anymore.
>>2893918The hack is it takes effort to find the best room at the best price, you cant just do one thing

I just came back from Japan yesterday.Entry to Kansai Airport is always unpleasant.The immigration officer had a lot of irritation on his face and looked lazy to even talk.The QR code required for entry is more cumbersome than a paper entry card. The Japanese are good at making things complicated.High-rise buildings and arcade shops on the high street are still wonderful.It's like a symbol of Japan's prosperity period.But residential areas and transportation facilities have not really changed since decades ago.It also feels old and dirty now.Comment too long.

>>2889834Are you German or a burger from mid west?Imagine being such a pretentious faggot and making this post. It’s clear you are autistic, so just post in the Japan general where you can interact freely with your kind.
>>2890066So tell us about those "good times" you had back in 1980s Japan. Tell us what it was like. A knowledgeable oldfag who was actually there like you surely has great things to say.
>>2890065My entries were basically "Welcome to Japan Sir" with me saying "Pleasure to be in your country, sir".Not sure what your issue was. The three times I've been in Japan , they have always been fine.I've had more issues coming back into the U.S. from Mexico or Canada than I've had coming into Japan.

Which country is better to immigrate to in 2026?
>>2893610what's a free a country to emigrate to? Is mexico commie too? Brazil?
>>2884599>University of Wollongong. Top 1% university in the worldBruh it ain't even a top 10 school in Australia. Thats like the equivalent of some retard in my country saying that Western is a top 1% university when its literally a daycamp for rich white cunts in Canada. Even then if you didn't use your time in uni to build connections and do co-ops no shit you won't find work. Why spend money on a paper that you don't even network with?
>>2883868Did it really get that bad? From time to time I see add promoting Canada as some sort of paradise on planet earth.
>>2884018No wonder this thread stinks
>>2893909Where are these ads? Probably funded by the Canadian government. This country's economy is pretty much a massive housing ponzi scheme that requires infinite gullible thirdie debtors to keep it going.
What are the best local places to fine at while traveling in Phoenix?
>>2889448Who the fuck goes to a city like Phoenix to eat le best food? Google Maps search "restaurants near me", "open now", and grab whatever random goyslop is most convenient.>>2889495Burritos are made with whatever can be stuffed into a tortilla roll. There's no burrito rulebook dictating what can and cannot be stuffed into a burrito. For all you know the spics diced up some snitch's asscheeks and served it to you in a burrito. >Mmm, this is the tastiest steak I've ever eaten! So tender and flavorful!
>>2889449> fake shitskin meat with cum sauce and vomit> steak, beans, rice, cilantro, sour cream, cheesekeep your shit you dirty mud nigger
>>2893336yes. it's american food
>>2893908Taco bell is considered fine dining in Europe
Is there anything ACTUALLY good to eat in Phoinx? I'm just curious, seems like a shithole place.

>>2893896>>pay $200 to save $50
>>2893897Anon, you're on a travel board. Most people here probably fly a minimum of 4-6 times a year. So you're at break even.Are you one of those people who "travel" once a year? If so why do you need a checked bag, a personal item+carry on is more than enough for 90% of people for 2-4 weeks. >inb4 WELL ERM ACTUALLY I AM GOING TO NEED ALL MY PERSONAL TOLIET ITEMS AAAAND I THINK I CAN SAVE CASH BY BRINGING MY OWN BOOZE LOL!
>>2893887just dont check bags brojust dont care about their gatcha miles system>>2893897EXACTLY
>>2893898>4-6 times a yearI fly a dozen times a year, always check a bag, always pay to pick a seat, none of those cards are worth paying for because you get nothing out of it miles are a scam they are for idiots or corporate wagies who fly the same route weekly not travellers who use a different airline everytime they fly

I’ve heard stories about them but have never seen them personally despite staying in some dodgy hostels over the years.
>>2890961>>2891996You have missed tons of people reporting incidents in run-down hostels as well as expensive hotels in equal numbers. I guess the hotel advantage is that they will pay up for the exterminator to keep their reputation spotless.
>>2893683The hotel advantage is they dont have bedbugs
>>2882509i did, not sure if they were bed bugs or just dust mites, but they were definitely bugs in my bed. The shock was so real, i immeditely cancelled my stay, trashed my clothes, got new ones and i booked a brand new 4 star hotel nearby despite it being expensive as fuck. Once i arrived at the new hotel with 100% assurance it had no bed bugs it felt like i was in heaven, a huge relief it felt better than cumming but what a waste of money. ugh
>>2892138Holy shit, I took a weeklong trip to Paris back in 2019 with the senpai and even stayed in an Airbnb. We really lucked out that our place didn't have any bed bugs.
>>2882509In Singapore of all places
Something about mexican aesthetics makes it very soulful and baits me to visit that country just to walk through their streets and visit their small towns. Is that a retarded idea? Can I get very cheap hotel rooms and food?
>>2891778I found Monterrey to have streets that are a dump but not dangerous, so as long as you don't find the dangerous parts of towns/cities that's what you should expect.
>>2892951There's some really great hikes to be had in the mountains near Monterrey, but without your own car it's hard to get there. I hated driving in Monterrey, the traffic is awful and the sprawl seems endless. It didn't feel particularly dangerous to me, but you still have to take precautions. You'll notice that Mexicans are never fully relaxed in public, though a Saturday/Sunday night in the plaza is as close as they come to feeling at ease. Almost everybody you look at while walking the streets will look back at you, because their spidey senses alert them that somebody is eyeing them up.
>>2892871I got the same thing but South American ones are not like that
>>2892980I only did Ubers and I don't know how anyone drives there. I didn't get the 'looking back at you' thing as much but they kept to their own business for sure. As for hiking I wish I could've but it's too hot for me.Picrel (cabrito, or goat) was nice.
>>2891778>Can I get very cheap hotel rooms and food?Define cheap. If your point of reference is the US or Europe, then yes, unless you go to a tourist spot.>visit their small towns.You need to do your due diligence before coming here, There are plenty of amazing towns that are still not invaded by foreigners, but let's say it's not easy to get there (especially if you don't know what you are doing)
I’m planning a solo trip mid late September that goes:Budapest>Cluj Napoca>Bucharest>AthensOn this trip I want wellness/relaxation/sex/nightlife and also would like to see cool sights. I’d also like to stop at a couple smaller towns on the way between Budapest and Cluj Napoca. Does anyone who’s been to the region before have any suggestions/recommendations?Good restaurants/spas/massage parlors/clubs? Anything to avoid?

Euros in the US for the world cup are going viral for jerking off to American experiences, such as small town restaurants, In-N-Out, Waffle House, Buc-ee's, college football stadiums, Walmat, and general friendliness. Are they doing the same for Canada or Mexico?
