Do people live on boats? I'm getting a bit bored of live and want to mix things up. I've always liked the idea of 'working remotely' from a boat, and just sailing around Europe from port to port.

Is this feasible? How much of a world of pain would I be getting myself into? I'd be looking to sell my house, buy a country shack to store shit and retreat to, and just be a man about the world.

To buy and build out a boat, you need money. Lots of money. /trv/ is full of self-proclaimed crypto gorillionaires, but strangely, none of them can afford a plane ticket overseas, much less a houseboat capable of blue-water navigation.

Best option would be to find an online community who is specifically looking to live this lifestyle. Make connections and take a voyage with somebody to learn the ropes and see if the boat life is for you. I'm a diehard landlubber, so it's not something I've even considered.

i'm guessing i'm the only one here who's actually been there?

spent 4 days there just because i wanted to try it. had a great time. just this morning i was actually googling motorbike rentals in BD to see if that would be viable. would absolutely go back some day.

Pretty much what you'd expect in terms of the dirt and the noise. Everyone was extremely friendly. No hustle except for one guy, who I ended up hiring to take me to cool places. paid him like $30 for a full day of his time.

Next time you're in Mumbai, hop on a train to Neral and then to Matheran and see it for yourself. It'll cost you about two bucks and take all damn day, even though Matheran is only 42 km from Mumbai airport as the crow flies.

Bangladesh is probably friendlier than India. Muslims have a strong hospitality culture toward outsiders, whereas many Indians have a deep-seated resentment of English-speaking white people. To them we are all British colonizers or some shit like that.

Those aren't exactly "dangerous" countries you picked for your list Anon. Iran is perfectly stable and safe. Lebanon is safe everywhere except Southern Beirut and the border with Israel. The wars in Iraq, Syria and Aghanistan are over and there are travel vlogs all over Youtube of people going there. Practically all of Africa and most of Latin America is worse off than the Middle East these days. To answer your question, I lived a year in Lebanon a while back. It's a shithole, but it wasn't dangeorus.

Already got Haarlem, The Hague, Rotterdam, Utrecht, and Delft in mind, but are there any other places worth visiting for a day trip?

I already payed in advance on booking.com and it stated tax was included in the price. Even after payment it says I neednt pay anything at check in.

Imagine whiteknighting for megacorps, kek.
The price should always be the price. Why the fuck should I be expected to look around small print?

A hotel recently tried demanding I pay in cash, when their booking.com profile stated they accept card, and don't accpet cash, lol. They can tried charging me in dollars at some retarded rate, and I flat out refused.

People need to honour the fucking amount they state up front. What they need to pay in local tax is none of my business, I'm not their accountant.

Check the price and conditions before you book and you won't have these problems

Conditions are based on conditionals. I.e. are conditional.

There's nothing conditional about paying mandatory taxes. It's just misleading bullshit.

>Pay x if you smoke in room
>Pay x if you have pets
These are valid conditions which should be clearly stated.

>Malaysia is full of Chinese.
malaysia is about 20% chinese. see pic related.
the only places that are "full of chinese" are kl and penang, i.e. the most advanced bits and the main tourist destinations.
the chinese population of malaysia is in decline. in the 1960s it was about 40%. but decades of being treated like shit by the malays has taken its toll and more and more young chinese are leaving and never coming back.
>>
>>2846944
The Malays have a higher birthrate, which has enabled them to demographically overtake the Chinese. However, there are Chinese communities in virtually every town of any size in Malaysia. Yes, even in Kelantan and Terengganu.
>leaving and never coming back

>The Malays have a higher birthrate, which has enabled them to demographically overtake the Chinese
great work sherlock. the chinese birthrate has declined over time. below replacement level. a lot of them no longer want to raise children in malaysia.
>However, there are Chinese communities in virtually every town of any size in Malaysia. Yes, even in Kelantan and Terengganu.
also true but this does not equate to malaysia being "full of chinese"
>Leaving to where, exactly? The PRC? Doubtful
of course not. they go to australia, new zealand, singapore, uk, usa, europe. basically anywhere they can send their kids on a student visa and then get some kind of residence afterwards
