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?
>>2848622>That's only a problem if you have a bullshit job/degreeNah. My degree is in CS because Software Engineering didn't exist as degree subject. Those discrepancies get you fingered by CBP and USCIS.>That's because your employer is a cheap piece of shit and didn't apply for pre-processing, which clears you in advance such that you're not subject to how the customs and immigration officer is feeling that day. Also, see below for why they're so anal nowadaysEvery good lawyer recommends CBP processing. It's fast and gets you in ASAP.The entire program could be scrapped if Trump pulls out of USCMA next year but my Green Card application is in so I DGAF.
I lived in the lower mainland for almost thirty years. I never even really did the outdoorsy stuff. If I were to do things again I’d just move to the cheapest place in the Praires and travel as much as possible. I don’t care about this place.
>>2841496i do too, but i have a le "criminal record" for punching some assholes while drunk (i've been assaulted 50 times by the way and nobody ever got in trouble for it, canada is a white supremacist antisemitic neonazi shithole), so i don't even know if i can do a working holiday visa in another country. if not, my only other option is israel.
>>2846135I'm most fascinated by the mysterious hot springs all over northern BC, problem is they have become more well known though and even the jeets know about them now >>2841496OP if you really can't find a place for yourself in Canindia then do what every successful Canadian with an IQ above 120 does - move to the USA>>2848622I wonder are we limited in thinking TN-1 and H1-B are the only way for canadians? isn't there an actual regular immigration process you can apply for? e.g. jeets can come to canada on a points system>>2848724Canada is ruled by Montreal so it makes sense the imperial capital will have the highest quality of life
>>2846135I stayed in BC for about 2 months and it is a total shithole. The whole place is either druggy trailer trash, pretentious lefty starbucks communists, or vancouver which is a good mix of the two with a healthy heaping of chinese and indian immigrants who will act unbelievably rude. Everyone is mean as shit and will refuse to interact with you like a human being. Fuck BC

Currently day 1 of my Honeymoon in New Orleans and it's definitely an experience. The architecture is beautiful and it absolutely has a totally different vibe than other U.S cities I've visited, even in the south (Been to Knox, Nashville, Charleston, Fayetteville). That being said man the non-white problem here is absurd. I live in New England, and in the sticks. The worst I deal with is homeless and druggies. But our homeless druggies are all white and docile. Every block there's like 3 people who are moving shifty and looked cracked out. My wife is oblivious to most danger and naive so I'm constantly redirecting her and changing direction / sidewalks to avoid any near encounters with literally anybody. Fuck that. Just today there were like 4 black teens who ran up on Bourbon Street as we walking down. Two started arguing and then wailed on eachother for ten seconds in the middle of the street. then the whole group started moving down our sidewalk. My wife was just dumbfounded at the sheer blackness I grabbed her and just shoved her in the closest bar. Bouncer chuckled to himself and I gave a knowing glance. Some spots, bars, are nice. Had a real good time this evening in a small jazz bar, good drinks and vibes. - but the sheer amount of absolutely scumness is so off-putting. It's also crazy how normalized it is to some people. "Oh that's just how cities are". Like, no? The fuck.
>>2846845I did construction work in the North Shore and places like Revere might as well be little Asia. Everyone is Indian and Asian now. For white people heaven check out the rich leafy towns like Concord, Lexington, Carlisle. Then up in the seacoast - Plum Island, Exeter, Newburyport. They're incredibly liberal so you'll see lots of pride flags and democrats, but very little disparity besides the token well-educated minority families. I grew up in a town in Middlesex County and we had one black kid in my entire school who was cool. Most of Mass are basically unintentional segregated towns of wasp liberals who vote for the dumbest policies possible, from their isolated communities, until they inevitably fuck everything up for real people and then they all sell their beautiful land to conglomerates who turn them into condos for immigrants, strip malls, and casinos - They then fuck off to Florida while their grandkids cant afford college.Boston, for what it is, can be very enjoyable and fun. Feel a lot safer walking around that most cities in the south, or places like Lawrence, that's for damn sure. Problem is there's very few genuinely hot women to meet. Always blown away by how much cuter the average girl is anywhere else in the U.S.
Step 1: Invent the time machine
What are the best cities for picrel? Preferably in non Asian and non brown countries. And can anyone actually describe the experience, does it compare to normie experiences?

I've seen people talk about coworking here before and the math isn't mathing. How the fuck does this save money or improve anything? Are these people recommending these places staying in the 2x4 futon bedding places to try and cheese on 'savings'? Am I doing something wrong by looking at Regus? For context I am going to be moving around HK, Taiwan, and PH next year for about 6 months and understand the living situations in those places are smaller.

(Different anon also going to miami)Is there anything to do for someone thats not good at socializing and doesn't do "nightlife" stuff?
>>2848565Lmao no.
>>2848567Is it weird to go to night clubs by yourself? Like will I just disappear into the crowd and end up randomly grinding on a girl, or will I just feel like a weird autist the whole time and instantly regret not spending my friday night binging anime?
>>2848190Work from home. You don't want to live in the actual city of Miami or even anywhere near it and commuting is miserable. Your second best option is to not work in Miami at all and find a job in Ft. Lauderdale or something so it's easier to get to or in the same city you live. It exemplifies "nice to visit but wouldn't want to stay" >>2848565You can go to the beach and/or go fishing. It's a terrible place to be a shut-in.

I was curious the different expat communities around the world. What are your guys experiences with them?It can be any nationality in any country. For me, an American, I'm thinking of visiting places here in the States that have certain expat communities of countries I want to visit (Japan, China, South Korea, Taiwan).
Korean expats in Japan>Ōkubo / Shin-Okubo in Shinjuku Ward (Tokyo)>Tsuruhashi in Ikuno Ward (Osaka)>Higashi Kujo & Utoro (Uji) in KyotoJapanese expats in South Korea>Ichon-dong (Yongsan District) in Seoul>Itaewon, Hannam-dong, Gangnam & Seocho, and Hongdae / Mapo in Seoul>Haeundae and Suyeong in Busan
Chinese expats in South Korea>Daerim-dong (Yeongdeungpo District), Guro District, and Geumcheon District in Seoul>Incheon Chinatown (Jung District)>Dong District in BusanKorean expats in China>Wangjing (Chaoyang District) in Beijing>Wudaokou (Haidian District) in Beijing>Gubei Koreatown in Shanghai>Qingdao in Shandong>Korean Street in Guangzhou>Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture>Changbai Korean Autonomous County>Xita in Shenyang

Long story short, 24 years old and like many burgers, I can't fucking stand living in this shithole any longer. I can already hear the "lol USA is actually amazing" comments, but I'll do a brief explanation. Country is wonderful for nature. I have been to nearly all US states, and I do enjoy some smaller cities. NOLA, Savannah, small town midwest, and mountain west towns are great. This being said, US has zero high culture. Our Capitol is a fucking sad mockery of what any medium sized Euro city has to offer. I like the US, but living in it wagefagging is not for me. If you're rich or uninspired, great. Live in suburban sprawl and die at 70 having done nothing. As for me, I want out.At this point, I'm going to go perma travel mode for the time being. I'm in school online and want to eventually become a Professor, but that's at least 6 years away. I can make at least 1K a month anywhere in the world, which is enough just about anywhere (except the US, another reason I hate this shithole). Anyone have any tips on this? I'm leaving in a month and a half. Starting in London, and going to slowly move across Europe and into Central Asia. Anyone here do super low budget long term? How do you deal with health emergencies? Any hidden gem medium sized cities in Asia that are overlooked?
>>2848085>I have much more cash than that sitting around too. You could take that out and nothing of my position and previous places in life would change.Alright, give it to me then.
>>2848043>another incel rage outburst
>>2830439>hitchhiking is on my timewat? you get drivers to stop for you whenever you want them to? I've had mixed luck with hitching in SEA. An honest guy who charged me the bus fare equivalent, a greedy guy who tried to charge me 5x, and a generous guy who gave me a free ride to my destination (farther than he was going).>sleeping in dormsMost of the world's towns do not have hostels. But if you want to meet other foreigners, hostel towns are the way to go.>>2847763Gullible people are always the most paranoid, because they take everything at face value and are unable to pick up the implications. If you go overseas, you will find that Third Worlders can be a lot more blatantly manipulative and dishonest than white Americans...yet if you have "OMG I'm so glad I finally escaped ZOGland" rose colored glasses, you might not pick up on their petty deceptions until someone blackpills you, or they misstep and make it obvious that they're taking Mr. Easy Money for a ride.
>>2842810You can still find plenty of open space in the Intermountain West, but you need a reliable vehicle that can handle mountain grades, and you need $500/month in gas money to get to and from town on a daily basis. Extreme isolation in the harsh climate and desolate landscapes really sands down your personality. You stop reacting emotionally to other people, because other people no longer have any place in your life. Your main goals are staying warm, staying fed, and finding bullshit to fill the long empty hours. I never had cell service during my vanlife days, so the isolation was more profound.>you can't starve yourself to wealthMost people are mentally unable to strip down their life to the bare survival essentials. Third Worlders can go without material goods, but they need human companionship. First Worlders can go without companionship, but they need their feel-good spending money. Me personally, I've grown unwilling to sleep rough in a car and live on the fringe of society after years of doing it between seasonal jobs in the USA. Would rather slum it here in Asia for a similar daily average expenditure. Both lifestyles have their own hardships, and their own rewards as well.

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.
>>2847875>Rio, Sao Paulo, Florianopolis, CuritibaI'm considering a similar trajectory. Are you planning to rent a car at any point in time? I'm considering it in the south.
>>2848577Not OP but I want to see salvador and part of the north if I go but idk whats up there. Also it would be dope af to go into the Amazon but I don't want a touristy trip unless I get to chill on a big boat like fitzcaraldo. Mostly want to see nature but I don't have any of these vaxes and I figure it would probably be easier and cheaper getting them in Brazil than here in the cuck US.
>>2847875I got it. Nothing happened to me.
>>2848116that's too bad. even though they have a sizable japanese community, they still treat them as untouchables?
>>2847875>only 50% of the population is vacinatedThat's like saying "only 70% of the world has access to clean drinking water", the rest is just Africans living in the middle of nowhere. Every Brazilian here is mandated by law to get the yellow fever vaccine when they are a child. That has been the case since many many years. You'd only find people who haven't taken the vaccine in absolute shithole parts of the country. >should I take itYes. Like the other anon said there are many countries that require you to show proof of vaccination once returning from Brazil otherwise they throw you in quarantine and jab you anyway. The vaccine works for life so there's no reason not to just take it.
I'm going to be in Buenos Aires for two weeks in January for a grad student exchange ...Is there any natural beauty or super cool thing you would recommend that can be visited in 1-3 days, over a weekend? I have like $45,000 debt racked up on a student line of credit so am on a budget, but can make sacrifices if need be Patagonia (e.g. Lago Argentino) is allegedly expensive and also far as fuck from Buenos Aires, so as much as I love hiking not sure how to make that worksame thing with the Iguazu Falls - it is in Misiones province which apparently has a large Polish population (cool!) but is remotealso, > tips on how not to get robbed for being a gringo
>>2848267I hear there's a beach there.

>>2848713This country's full of stupid fucking assholes and Buenos Aires (caba) is the epicenter for it. You wont meet a single woman in 2 weeks in caba, at best they'll take you for meals since thats where the sex negative 4b trash lives.Go to Salta or Jujuy if you want to enjoy Argentina. Everyone hates caba for a reason and your experience wont be special.
>>2848267You can fly to Iguazu or Mendoza, it's often cheaper that taking the bus. Can be as low as 50 USD return.By bus you could go to Mar del Plata, it's pretty nice and picturesque seaside city, but January is by far the worst time to visit, it will be overcrowded and overpriced.
>>2848713you can also cross to uruguay on the ferry, which is a nice little trip and you get up and close with the rio de la plata
>literally fucking dies
@2848721>You're just upset because you were too scared to askYou're lucky to get a credit is what people are saying holy shit, this is just baiting for you's at this point. Most all the togo places in hotels will do an all-sales-final approach these days past covid. If you haven't been to Vegas recently you don't know what you\re talking about. You have to go full Karen mode and sit there while hotel staff can authorize a credit refund if you're willing to put up with that shit and get someone who will give in. Enjoy getting a credit back without the tax included for Sysco Slop for Place A for Sysco Slop at Place B
>>2848725>is what people are sayingNo that's what you've been saying as cope for shoving bad food down your gullet since you're too much of a girl to ask for a refund
>>2843820>90% of Vegas visitors are domestic, foreign tourists tend to go more for large cities or landmarks. NFL and NHL presence doesn't impact tourism that much, when people visit a city for a game they tend to leave ASAP so that's actually a pretty lousy source of revenue.Vegas's money bank was Canada boomers living off oil pensions anon
>>2848728So true king. Lemme know how it goes being an alpha male to Padre who barely speaks English about the food being sub par. Rip the recipe up when he tries to point he made you what you ordered and look lost when he makes the exact same thing with the same quality for you. Be a Chad and call ice

It's scary, should i postpone my travel to Tokyo?If it's like London or Paris now, no thanks.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVnLhVmJOFY

When I was walking through Kabukicho, some big black dude was trying to rope me into a scam. I just told him I'm cool and he let me go. Obviously I wish it didn't happen, but that's the only time it did, and he wasn't forceful. It's not really a big deal.

>>2847424I was there in spring for 16 days, Hiroshima/miyagima, Kyoto,Nara and Tokyo(we stayed in area of imperial palace). It was awesome, zero negative interactions with the natives or other tourists. Would go back for a longer trip in a second, loved Japan.
this country looks pretty good to me: https://www.youtube.com/@ScramblerPOV/videosthe city looks cool and the nature also looks really goodAnyone been?fuck I really want to ride a motorcycle in Georgia... I'm thinking of getting one and driving from western Europe to Georgia through Turkey. Sounds fucking rad, please tell me i'm wrong and shouldn't start planning such a trip (i give myself 5 years including getting a motorcycle license and learning to drive that thing first)?
>>2834146>you're bigger issue would be going to villages that aren't friendly to outsiders.Can you elaborate that, how to realise that before going there?
>>2848679You haven't visited the countryside much in your travels? There are countless places the world over where the presence of an outsider is not received well by the locals. Rural folk are often shy and don't like for their homes or persons to be treated like a tourist attraction. As an introverted person myself, I don't mind this at all, and am perfectly fine with minding my own business as I tread the streets. If there are no hotels or guesthouses in the village, then obviously the people don't want any outsiders spending the night.>>2843879Overseas budget travel is a dying art. Even the guidebooks don't even mention any budget options anymore. It's all midrange and higher, meaning 3x the spending power of the average wagie or more. Snobbish rich people with pockets full of unearned wealth who think that the locals exist only to humor their fancies. Can't stand the fuckers, which is why I stay far away from the tourist-trap destinations they congregate in.>>2844031So does this mean that Central Asian countries are significantly cheaper than the Caucasus region in 2025?
>>2848689>If there are no hotels or guesthouses in the village, then obviously the people don't want any outsiders spending the night.That's a good indicator, I hadn't thought about that one. I was rather wondering if Georgia or certain regions in it were special in that regard.
>>2848691In 2024 I was told by the pro-EU bitch in Batumi, one of the few that wasn't a turbo cunt Slav, that people in the country side and especially Kutaisi were just fucking assholes that hated anyone that wasn't Georgian or Russian, and those mountain villages were especially bad.Again, stick to Tblisi and break the ice with English but learn Russian. Even the Russian women there will receive you well, at this point there's no animosity from the Russians, at least the women. But know Russian because they wont give a shit about English unless she's sure tourw taking her home.Use Gemini to role play Russian language learning from the basics. Fuck Duolingo. Get a quiet hotel and headphones and you can practice speaking Russian to Gemini as well although it's still fucking weird to practice like that with the AIs.
>>2848700Thank you for your answer but I'm not a great fan of Russian desu, I would go for the nature in Georgia. Mountaineering, hiking, etc.

So since OP is gay I wanna ask how easy it is to get laid here and how cheap is Brazil compared to places like Mexico?Im a white manlet, speak limited Spanish and I want to go to Brazil for carnival possibly. Always heard good things about Floripa but I want to go somewhere crazy for the festival
>>2846533>how cheap is Brazil compared to places like Mexico?I didn't find Mexico that cheap for what you get? But I was just in Puerto Vallarta and Mexico City. I'd say Brazil is similar prices by higher quality>Always heard good things about Floripa but I want to go somewhere crazy for the festivalYou need to go to Rio for the crazy shit, Floripa is much more chill>limited SpanishAll that will help you with is the numbers since they speak Portuguese here
I wanna go to Florianopolis but cant be assed to learn portuguese and the the though of rich snarky argentinians annoys me. they are the worst. plus you gotta pay $80 in a tedious process to get a tourist visa there if youre from America/AUS/NZ
>>2846533I have been living here for the last few months and it's totally unlike the rest of Brazil (outside of the south) in many ways. One of those ways is, unfortunately, the girls here aren't easy. I got laid easily in Rio and other cities, but not here. Several Brazilian guys have told me that this is the hardest place in the country to get girls in your bed. But the island attracts the most beautiful girls in Brazil, or at least from the south (whiter, blonder chicks)I'm leaving soon because prices here shoot way up in summer and I don't wanna deal with the crowds. But also, if I'm gonna be living in Brazil I don't want to have to jump through hoops to get laid - can do enough of that back home
