Looking to spend a week at some Caribbean island next month with the wife. We wanted a really nice beach area with very little crowds and really want to avoid super packed tourist areas.Is Curacao a good choice? I was thinking about it but a buddy from work who went their said it kinda sucks because its where a lot of ghetto people go so they kind of ruin it.
for the record, I am heterosexual, in case anyone was wondering
>>2885530why did you feel the need to mention this, OP?are you secretly gay?
OP here. Just wanted to clarify that I am actually gay. My wife is a dude he just spends most of the time dressed as shimakaze. Any suggestions need to be LGBT friendly. Thanks
How much USD should I have saved up to travel by plane from Michigan to Australia for a week I would be staying with a family member so hotels no need, I just want some basic food and to see most of the country side and some cities. Possibly a rental car
>>2885455First off, don't come here thinking you'll end up taking any money home. Our economy is fucked up, everything is jacked up three times the amount and you'll be paying for more than you bring. A safe amount would be 4-6k USD if you are only doing hotels, renting cars and spending time in the cities for a few days. There is fuck all to do here though, the cities are full of tranny faggots and nobody wants anything to do with Americans because of Trumpism. Make sure you do some basic research and be careful around muslims, niggers and islanders just like you would in the US.
Stay in your country dumb yank
>>2885455Where in Australia? Its a fucking huge country and spread out. A week isnt that much time honestly, especially when youre gonna be jetlagged as fuck the first couple days.
>>2885646>nobody wants anything to do with Americans because of Trumpismnah I'm an American backpacker and worked at a cattle station as a Jackaroo during Trump's Beef War shenanigans (i.e something which actually affects the lives of the people I was living and working with). Literally nobody brought it up and everyone was still very nice and friendly with me. But yeah maybe bush Australians are actually nicer and more sensible people than some Melbourne or Sydney faggots
>>2885646Skill issueMeat is free and abundant country-wideCook it nice and slow in a stew with some hearty vegetables and drop in a can of VB if I'm feeling fancy. A single roo will last me weeks.
>>2885350Anon, I'm in Osaka til the 5th and I enjoy exploring new places more than partying and wasting time, so you know.
Any of you cunts been to Bhutan? Main reason I'm going is my mum - she's always wanted to go to Bhutan so I figure surprising her with a family holiday would make a nice present for her 60th.Plan would be mostly just your typical sightseeing but I'd like to spend at least a few days doing a multiday trek of some kind.Would be going either autumn this year or spring next year, leaning towards spring so the wildflowers will be in bloom when we're trekking and we can catch the Paro Tsechu, but if there better festivals in Autumn then it'd be cool not to wait until next year. So, any advice?Main thing I'm struggling with is how to choose a tour agency. Most of my holidays in the past have been independent backpacking so the mandatory package tour aspect of Bhutan is new to me. Seems like having a good quality guide could make or break the trip but fuck knows how you choose one.
>>2883372Nah bro, I wouldn't want to make your mum jealous.
>>2883391That's immature
>>2880211As someone knows knows someone who's mom knows more about bhutanese gold smuggling then the UN, fuck you on every level. You'll set the man up, he doesn't know shit about gold or about Bhutan, and you don't know about Perth mint and kangaroo customs. He's on holiday with his mom not trying to get locked up over $300
>>2879531That's propaganda. Next you're going to tell me DPRK achieved total Autarky Worker's paradise.
>>2884558What's the issue? Is buying gold over there inherently smuggling or is it just a problem if you buy too much?
hihihi i am a college student and i have a gap semester next spring. I always wanted to go to japan or south korea just to study or learn another language. is there anyway to do this from around january to april for around 1-2k
>>2880476Of course you want to go to fucking Japan, every retard and their uncle does. This board is so unoriginal.
>>2882998Being a contrarian doesn’t make you original nor interesting
>>2882998>This board is so unoriginal.Yeah, I'm sure you go to cool original places like The Shire and Erewhon and CannibalNiggersLand.
>>2880476>january to april for around 1-2kYikes. Even if that's GBP it's fucking hard to survive on US$500-600/month.
>>2885764no it's not
I want to move here. What should I know?
>>2880194every village has only one gay so you might have a tough time
>>2880357I'm already thinking of moving there, you don't have to sell me on it.
>>2883497>hikingBrecon Beacons or Snowdonia, whichever is closer. Snowdonia is generally better. If you're in Snowdonia then Conway and Caernarfon are worth a visit as well, in the Beacons you can divert for Brecon itself and maybe Llandovery and Swansea/Cardiff
>>2880194>I want to move here. What should I know?Hindi and Arabic.

Heading to Saratoga Springs this summer to see a concert and want to know what else there is to do. Going for a few days and anything walkable is preferred.
>>2885701ayy my old college town.(I mean *old* I haven't been there in years. Pic related is some mansion on the road leading up to campus, they love their horses there).From what I recall Caroline Street was where the night life is at for drinking, party, etc... plenty of college girls will probably be out and about and all the men at Skidmore were/are faggots (yes, including me) so you'll be doing those women a favor. 15 Church is a decent restaurant in this Wes Anderson looking pink building, I hope the quality is still what it was. Can be pricey though. Hamlet & Ghost was where a friend of mine worked as as a cook back when and I remember it fondly too, had a good atmosphere for cozy autumn nights.If you're going for a concert then you're definitely gonna be at SPAC and the state park. Saratoga battlefield is nearby, it was one of the most important battles of the War of Independence and Benedict Arnold's leg has a monument there lmao. Reenactors in the area are super dedicated to their LARP, it's good fun.The Tang Art Museum at Skidmore is the typical college art exhibition but they occasionally had special exhibits which were far more interesting and of a higher quality than the usual stuff, this unfortunately is unpredictable and varies based on what they got there at the moment of course. It's a gimmick to drink the water from all the water fountains scattered around town, they taste like shit but I guess that's the "natural minerals" that made people in the 1800s rave all about them.I believe it will be race track season in summer, which if you're into gambling on horses is uh exciting I guess. Lots of filthy rich Arabs and other millionaires around town watching their horses compete.To be honest this just makes me realize that I spent most of my time there doing outdoorsy shit in the Adirondacks or getting drunk on campus rather than in town itself. It is a small town in an inland part of the country, can't really do THAT much
Going to Santiago, Chile, in October for work.I'm going to stay a week thereWhat can I do for fun?
>>2885247why? they are wonderful people
Santiago is kind of lame, I suggest Valparaiso
>>2882745Avoid chileans. A race of traitors and resentful people.
>>2885562just because they believe las malvinas son ingleses?
>>2885549Enjoy getting robbed
I had my first food posioning on this trip after months. I even had to miss my next flight because I was sure I would vomit on the plane.What're your worse food poisoning or general illness and injury stories will travelling?After a terrible last night I rallied to go to the airport and as soon as I got there I laid down on some seats landside and passed out for four hours and got me a hotel and will hopefully book a flight for tomorrow. Luckily it's not a far flight so it was cheap.
Sickness and food poisoning only happens to people with weak constitutions. Eat meat and lift weights
How do you prevent they plant you drugs in your suitcase when you deliver it in the check in? There have been an increase of case lately and i'm afraid. I don't want to end in prison in a random country for being a blind mule
>>2885670>checking luggageliterally why
The great debate. Which is better?
>>2884371when incel rage explodes not even weather maps are safe
>>2884371just solve the Navier Stokes equations and you'll see why.
>>2884249god punishes the shitstan countries with worse weather. hence why india and vietnam are so hot, but thailand remains a pleasant 30 degrees year round
I would not recommend Vietnam because they drive recklessly there.
Vietnam hands down. Thailand adopted a hostile policy to foreign expats then their tourism economy totally tanked, where the Vietnamese economy is backed by Chinese growth. The cowboy days are largely over so if you want a filthy expat life you wouldn't pick either
which one is the best for travel?
>>2885075I like Bergen, I have some friends up there, but there is NOTHING to do after you spend a week there.
>>2885072>Norway. Ugly cities and absurdly expensive.it's not that much more expensiveif you're mindful about where you stay and eatyou can easily do <250€/day for 2 persons all in (e.g. 100€/night hotel, 60€/day food, 50€/day car, rest misc like entrances) which isn't that much different from France or Germanyit's only expensive if you don't compare pricesor if you're ultra budget aka wild camping and only supermarket food, where the latter one is significantly more expensive than elsewhere in Europe
>>2883924Sweden is unironically a hellhole and i've been across the entire lenght of it.Literal nothingburger country. Above stockholm you will encounter 2 types of trees and the same copypasted towns. Empty hills, boring lake, town with a coop and an ICA and shitty redpainted square houses. Occassional ghost shack. More hills with 2 tree species and lakes with nothing... Ski resort, bridge... Wow bro.The wrecked classic cars/snowscooters are the only interesting shit, and the occassional moose/reindeer. Waterfalls are cool i guess. If you're european and want to dissapear into endless empty woodland to live out your minecraft fantasy this might be the country for you.Otherwise just go to norway.
None of them bro, trust me OP. but if you mustSweden- Stockholm is fine if you're autistic about 1800 century history and shitDenmark- Copenhagen for the same reason I guess Finland- A pointless country expect maybe winter campingIce/Norway- Pointless but with better outdoor options. Honest to god no redeeming qualities beyond that.>>2885075It's like maybe half a days worth of stuff to do. Walk a few blocks beyond the old town its the same depressing Norway as everywhere else.
>>2885072>Also incredibly autistic about speedingtell me more

I recommend visiting Rubel Castle, but booking a tour for a convenient time is challenging.
What is the best place to LARP like you’re in Heat, To live and die in LA and maybe VtmB Bloodlines
I know you can easily get clerance to leave Asmara but how inconvenient is it. How strict does my itinerary have to be if I want to see Asmara, Massawa, Keren, and Senafe?I know I have to come back to Asmara between each one but do I need to get a permit each time or can I get permits for each all at once if I have an exact day to day plan?
Eritrea is literally going back to the 1990s. There's no ATMs, no credit cards, all the cars are 1950s-1990s, there's no internet, wifi is super rare and pretty much only exists in a few internet cafes in Asmara. Just be aware of all that.
lol their govenment can't even keep their embassies open because their diplomats always get kicked out for harassing Eritreans abroad and demanding "taxes"
>>2884799Whoa. You mean you can still go to a country in [current year] where half the population isn't transfixed by reels on their phone screen all day long? The streets are also safe, and the people are well-behaved? Every single day in the capital city is 24 C?Gonna bet there's no Indians in Eritrea either, kekekek$1300 to fly from Chicago to Asmara with a single layover. I'd be curious how good the country is for a budget traveler. If they force visitors to take expensive guided tours, that's a no-go. I'd want to cram into a public bus and go places at my own pace.
>>2884799sounds kino
>>2885100You can take public transit. You just need to get your permits. A tour company can help you arrange the permits but you're then free to go where you want as long as you're back to Asmara before your permit ends. You can go to the tourist office (gov office) and apply for permits it takes about half a day. So if you aren't pressed for time it's easy enough to arrange all your travel without needing a tour company for anything except getting you a visa on arrival for around 100 bucksBut honestly Asmara alone (no need for permits) is worth staying in for a long time and just existing. The cafe culture is amazing, the bowlijng alley is out of the 30s (look it up), and the nightlife is people going to late night cafes and playing card games and talking
Im very interested in traveling to Russia more than other countries but i dont know if its dangerous to go because of the war what are Russians like? are they friendly or rude? are there Neo Nazis there like in other parts of Europe? is it easy to travel there?
>>2885076>but my travel partner, a white briton, was attacked by skinheads for being a member of the collective west.No way.
>>2884710Candace Owens is going there.
>>2885076Cool story bro
>>2885076nice try Pawel
>>2885076>Being black in Russia isn't a hinderance, it's a superpower.Accurate. Russian women love the BBC.
