Any of you guys been to the really bad African countries? Like Sudan, DRC, Somalia, Chad, CAR, etc? How bad is it actually? Could a white guy realistically visit there without severe risk?
>>2867857Never been, but afaik:>DRC is ok to visit around the capital>Somaliland is possible (even teaching jobs advertised there)Interior Congo afaik is doable, but it's just paypig city central, with bribes at every point.CAR is utterly lawless.The North of Sudan could be possible if the Egyptian crossing is opening, around Wadi Haifa and stuff. Chad not too sure.
My father has when he worked in oil and gas. He wasn't even allowed to leave the compound without an armed security detail.
Sudan was totally chill up until 2019, I remember following the blog of a cute German bikepacker girl who would camp by the roadside and hang out with. I’ll be keeping an eye on the situation there, it’s meant to have the world’s best coral reefs
>>2870789That would have been for insurance reasons. Which standards clearly do not reflect reality.
>>2870856It's because oil workers and other foreigners working for hated foreign corporations have been kidnapped for ransom on numerous occasions.>>2867858You could also JBB (Just Be Black).
Going to Denver, CO to vist senpai I havent seen since pre coof period. Probably gonna do four nights and dip.Gonna see a baseball game with an LA dodgers fan club on Sat, another baseball game possibly with senpai on Sunday. Probably hit up the museum of modern art and another one because I get reciprocal admission with my membership.I want to tour the state capitol because I am a /pol/ fag? Anything else I should really do? Maybe the zoo?
>>2869778It's typical rich (((white))) people stuff. They have so much extra money that they spend it on frivolities like art museums. Forget about real culture and a cohesive society. The streets can be full of neglected junkies, gangbangers and violence, but muh heckin art! So highbrow! The smarminess of wealthy liberal whites in their privileged safe spaces irritates me so much.
>>2868562Go to Tarantula pool hall, it's my favorite bar downtown. I have food recommendations but they're all in the suburbs, the food downtown is really average and overpriced.
>>2868758This describes what Burlington VT was in the 2000's, but two decades later, the people are way less attractive, there's junkies everywhere, and way more minorities. Point is, once a place is too liberal/artsy, it only takes a decade for it to turn into a shit-hole
Denver is extremely overratedForgettable city full of forgettable people
>>2871861Overrated compared to what? Fucking Amarillo? Billings, Montana? You need to compare apples to apples here. Denver is the closest that Middle West America gets to a proper urban metropolis, with a major international airport offering direct flights out of the country. No, I don't like Denver either, though the squirrels in the city parks are cute little beggars. But I'm still glad that Denver is a 2 1/2 hour direct bus ride from where I live, because from Denver I can get the hell out of America with relative ease.
I'm the guy that made that "perpetual travel on 1K a month" thread a couple months back. I had mentioned the US might not be the best country for everyone to live in and the thread got fucking annihilated as I predicted by mentally retarded Americans as per usual. In any case, I'm making another thread because I'm now 2 months into this and have some experiences to share, and a question to those that have been in my shoes.First of all, 1K a month is plenty doable even in expensive places like London. I spent about a week and a half in London and spent roughly $25 US per day. I stayed at a hostel in Borough which was about 15 USD daily, and combined with cooking and the endless free amenities (the British Museum alone took me 3 days), I was very content. I broke budget by a lot one night in Soho, past that it was very manageable. I then went to Portugal for about a week and my budget was roughly 20 USD per day. That included hostel, breakfast out, lunch out, and wine daily. I shit you not, Portugal may be the cheapest place I've been other than SEA. Italy took up the last 2 weeks of my first month, where I spent most of my time in Rome with a few days in Pisa. Wonderful time, expensive though. Rome was roughly US $35 per day. Hostel was cheap enough, but food in Rome aside from groceries is highly expensive or shit. I learned the hard way, and quickly realized it's never worth it to eat in Rome unless you splurge a tiny bit (it's not expensive, but I'm on a budget). The other problem is, some sights require payment, but by and large Rome is a free city. You can spend all day just exploring one Church provided you can actually read art and aren't mentally incapable of depth (like the Americans in the previous thread). This brings us to this month. I've now been in Sarajevo for a while, and my budget here has been 25 USD per day. Hostel 10, food 7.5, alcohol 7.5. Once again, the best things are free, and if they're not it's a one time expense.
Why does this board attract so many poorfags willing to do mental gymnastics on how "no you see living like a bum is better because I CHOOSE to live this way, not to be mistaken with the bum down the street who's an alcoholic! At least I'm not by a brown person on a bus kek!". Reminds me of that anon that moved to SEA after covid bragging about how living on the floor for 300/mo total was hella based compared to live in america on disability and government housing.
Pls tell me more about how Portugal is cheap
>>2868116Hiking the Camino seems perfect if you want to see a scenic country and meet many new people. Portugal has gotten a lot more expensive on the high end thanks to an influx of dorkers snapping up prime flats for inflated rates, but hostels evidently remain very low priced. It's never really been on my travel radar due to my preference for private hotel rooms.>>2868041You know, anon, people will pay $1400 instead of $700 per month for an apartment in the South just to stay out of the ghetto with its filth and smells.My brother's credit is rekt thanks to multiple bad choices in used cars, so yeah he's stuck with Alcove as no other landlord would approve him. But my sister lives in high crime Greensboro and definitely chose a more upmarket rental for the tranquil atmosphere. No roaches or reeking hallways either.
>>2868058Choosing minimal engagement with the American system is in fact living on principle. No mental gymnastics about it, unlike you richfags who constantly have to put up a pretense and exaggerate everything about your life.>i'm a 6'3" gorillionaire thanks to crypto who has fugged upper class virgin girls in every country i've been to, lol poorfags i never care about my spendingOTOH, frugality leads to a simple and genuine life. Pay as little taxes as you possibly can. Take most of your earnings out of the country. Reject the world's ethos that more stuff = a better life. Stop showing off for women and letting female whims guide your life decisions. Learn to be content with sobriety and small pleasures, like a good wank every few days.
How's that budget working for you OP? Heard getting to asia from europe sucks
I am solo travelling to New York City for the next 2 weeks. Its my first time to the US as a EuropeanWhat should i do there? i dont wanna do any touristy stuff and I wanna live like a local, like a casey neistat vlog.what are some cafes or stuff i could do explorei planned this trip 6 months ago and did no prep whatsoever till now
>live like a localYou mean live like a wage slave who has to cram themself into a metal tube potentially full of psychopaths everyday? And walk through the fucking shit snow on their way to their shitty wage slave job? Or the sweltering heat in the summer? Because what a true local is. A wageslave who eats shit and works a bullshit job to make NYC look nice for tourists, billionaires, or nepo babies. If you are an NYC local, you are an epic faggot and cuck all in one. Now, I know you're not a local OP, you're just visiting. So my advice is to get in, and get the fuck out as quickly as possible. My favorite place in all of NYC is the ramble in central park because it's the place that feels the least like you're in the city. The MET is ok too, it's just a bunch of loot, but it's more condensed than the louvre so that's a plus. Top of the rock is ok but the view is probably worse than when I did it, since they've added the new jpmorgan building. tldr NYC sucks and I wouldn't recommend spending more than a couple of days there. The cool shit in america is out west.
>>2871707>the ramble in Central ParkEven non-gays know this is a notorious cruising area
>>2871710I said get in and get out as quickly as possible, did I not?
>>2871015This is because most people that visit the city just think of NYC as Manhattan. 2 months isn't enough to see everything NYC has to offer.
i'm not reading any of this thread but i'll tell you this muchnew york isn't that special. you'll walk around, and see a million people and talk to NONE of them. you'll spend a lot of money on bullshit. even a water or a coke or someshit will cost like 3 or 4 times as much as you're used to. hopefully you don't smoke cigarettes because those are upwards of 20 dollars depending on where you fall into the trap. it's a stupid experience and nobody should live there unless you make a half a million a year or have some reason to be there (famous, podcast, music, etc)
I need a holiday but I'm too burned out to make decisions or plan much.What's the best way to take a trip? Should I just pay for a guided trip and risk being stuck with some annoying people?
>>2871614Hanoi is a great place for a solo trip and having no real plan. I visited and spent my time just wandering around and eating anything that looked good and being very satisfied with it. The Ho Chi Minh museum is cool, the temples are interesting, and it's easy to get a day or two away to Ha Long bay or other places in nature.
>>2871650Is the pollution as bad as people say?Kind of puts me off.
>>2871660>>2871508If you're already tired and want a comfy relaxing trip this is a really bad place to got, very noisy, crowded and polluted. If you really want Vietnam go in Da Nang and get an hotel near the beach.Picking one city and just doing chill stuff is the best idea, other options would be Seoul, Fukuoka, Seattle, Shanghai etc.
>>2871661Beach getaways are the more common choice for a wagecuck seeking to unwind in an upscale setting. Foreign cities aren't relaxing unless you spend all day cooped up in your hotel room watching TV...which you can do just as well at home. There's simply too much unfamiliar stimulation every time you hit the streets. Even walking around a city in Vietnam would be very stressful for somebody who has never walked in Third World countries before. >>2871660Air pollution varies from month to month. This time of year it is generally high in Hanoi. Truth is, if you come from a clean place in the First World to the Third World, you will immediately notice that the whole urban atmosphere is full of exhaust fumes from innumerable vehicles without catalytic converters. With enough time you get used to it and then stop smelling it altogether.
>>2871660It's not as clean as Australia, but as another anon said, you don't notice it as much as you expect after like a day. The only time I was ever aware of pollution in another country was when I was in Beijing 10 years ago. Couldn't see 50 feet in front of me and my lungs burned. Though it's completely changed and it's fine now. Nothing else on earth compares to that, and I think any desirable travel location (including Hanoi) is fine enough. And since I know you're thinking it and afraid to ask: yes, the women are attractive. We all forget about the downsides of third world countries when convenience store clerks are cute and chat with us.
Are you seeing these prices!?The danger is greatly overblown and the current situation will stabilize soon.At these prices, you might as well buy a ticket and bet that the situation will improve. Let me know some cool stuff to do and sights to see in Tehran. I will post pics of my visit.What are some good Iranian foods I should try?> inb4 the alarmists claiming "you're going to get killed."> I've been to over 20 countries, some considered very dangerous.> I've never had anything serious happen to me.> I've found that most people in the world are basically good and honest as long as you respect their culture.
>>2867833I've been to like 4 countries
>>2868270I've been traveling 98 days on this trip and have only been to a small part of a single state in a single country, kek
Just imagine all the brown baddies needing visas to get out of the country, bro! This shit is going to be so cash. The best part about their central bank failing is that things are super cheap there now.I got myself a room in a hostel. I'll let you know how it goes. I'm freaking out just thinking about it.
>>2867833The average is most certainly between 5 and 10, lmao most people here have not been to 20 countries
>>2867804Been awfully quiet lately, OP. OP? How's that flight itinerary to Tehran looking? The war is basically over, right?
Fun fact: if your hotel has handheld showerheads you're probably getting AIDS shit in your face from showering
I'm gonna visit Chengdu soon and I'm so excited at the prospect of having gay sex by simply taking a shower, thank you OP, you fag just enhanced my trip 1000x with this little tidbit of knowledge.
>>2871515I think you trv posters are the worst at humor out of any board I've visited. You give off short man, small penis energy
>>2871512If you've been on /trv/ in the past 6 years, you would know virology is not their strongest suit.>>2871637I have some bad news: There are boards that do it worse. /ck/ "humor" is quite possibly the most autistic shit I've ever seen.
>>2870203They can also put tiny hidden cameras in the shower heads now.Some pervy asian guy is gonna watch you nekkid
>>2870203That's dumbAnyone that's had a gf knows that women prefer handheld shower heads so they don't have to get their hair wet>webm related, me and the boys having some fun in chengdu
I'm an English teacher (B.Ed., teaching license etc), I don't want anything to demanding, just a nice tier 2 or 3 international school or even a public school. Just want to chill at this stage in my life. Anyone know what the expat scene is like there?I'm getting the impression a lot of YouTubers and remote workers are fleeing BKK to Da Nang. Sounds like it could have downsides.Anyone worked there? I feel like it's a just show up and your CV around kinda place.
>>2869602All the English teachers I knew there were cool and I ended up knowing a fewthe hate for them is a meme and mostly salty locals, some of which is fair considering they get paid decently in comparison
>>2870191damn bro where did you live that all the english teachers were cool? cause I have never been there
I would also like to move to somewhere in southeast asia. I'm a licensed pervert irl.
>>2870191BasedCan you please hook me up with a job?
>>2862690it's a bit watered down in da nang and pretty boring. you'll make a lot more, like at least $4000 a month in hcmc or hanoi, but likely half that in da nang
Hello anons, 24 years old europoor here. I managed to get a job and for the first time in my life I have an opportunity to travel at the end of this year.My budget will be somewhere around 6000-9000 euros depending how much i manage to save. I want to escape my shitty nigger life for 1-3 months depending on how much I manage to save money and how expensive the flights and other expenditures will be. I've been thinking of going to Thailand since it seems like the best value for your money but I also want to hear your opinions and suggestions.>Where did you go for your first solo travel and for how long and how much did it cost?>Do suggest meeting new traveler friends along the way?>How brutal or anxiety inducing it is to solo travel as an asperger chud?>Are there better places than Thailand which have less pajeets?
Hey OP these are the kind of loser spergs I warned you about haha. Epitome of no fun allowed.>>2870621You sound like a bitter aspie so it probably explains why you had no mates.You don't need to be drunk whatsoever but its undeniable that one or two drinks will do wonders for your inhibition levels. Chances are if you're on this website youre very high inhibition. I do fine socialising when I'm completely sober too.Almost everything worth doing or seeing in Thailand is some "containment" zone for tourists. Sure you can go to a random village in deep province but there is fuck all to do. Anyone working or anyone with remotely anything going on for themselves don't have the time to go half way across the world to sit in a room in some dusty village and shitpost on 4chan from their phone.>>2870624If youre an ugly subhuman yeah you won't magically get pussy. If you're good (even decent) looking, not ancient and socially competent you'll have a merry time.
>>2870627Yeah, that's not true whatsoever about Thailand, but you should stay where you belong. The locals give you "fuck off" vibes for a very good reason. You're a buffalo who flies in, gets milked, then flies back out. You're not an explorer or an appreciator of a country's unique culture. You want a generic tourist-friendly experience surrounded by assorted English-speaking foreigners everywhere you go. And then when you get old and jaded, you'll start complaining that there's no point in traveling because every place is pretty much the same, and people are the same everywhere you go. Duh. That's because you seek out the same kind of people everywhere you go.
>>2871514There's so much projection here, you sound a little upset haha. Yeah no shit I'm visiting Thailand to snorkel, see a few interesting buildings, do a bit sight seeing in the nature and just have a good time overall. Thailand and SEA feel completely different from Europe, which is where I'm from, and I don't feel like I'm visiting the same places when I travel at all. For example the countries I visited in SEA each felt very different from each other and I could see some stark differences in character from country to country, so I dont know where your cope and projection stem from. Did you get upset after you checked into a hostel and everyone gave you a cold shoulder because you're an unlikely sperg who thinks he is above everyone else despite having nothing to show for it? Idiots like you think they're unique by staying in some unknown village with nothing to do. I only got five or six months abroad each year and I dont spend more than one month in any given country so I try and make the most of it by seeing the best each country has to offer. In your head popular and fun = bad which is retarded. Miserable fucks like you ruin lives by telling young men on websites like this to become unsalvageable pieces of shit, rotting in their bedroom and living out of their head avoiding anything remotely interesting or fun. Have fun doing nothing with your life.
>>2871518You're still a loud goofy clown, an overgrown child forever chasing fun and playtime, and that's what everyone sees you as. You can't handle the serious nature of the real world beyond your little playtime destinations. >there's nothing to doooThat is, there's nobody to hold your hand and help you snorkel with the fishies or play pretend as a Buddhist devotee for a day as you make a tour of the temples.>nothing to chauffeur it, doing nothing with your lifeThat's more like your style of travel. Entire months can be summarized as "yah, [country] was cool, I had a lot of fun". Challenging travels OTOH build character, but the harder and wiser a man gets, the less likeable he becomes to shallow, privileged boys like yourself.
>>2871567You sound like a tremendous faggot. What exactly is your problem with travelling and enjoying yourself?If you want hardcore experience just cycle across Africa or something lmao. I wanted an adventure (well I also only had €50 euro to my name) and hitchhiked across Europe, sleeping in the bush like a bum and managing with very little. Was fun but I don't think it makes me special.>heh unless you're dying from dengue in a shack in middle of the woods youre not a true traveller kiddo
I have a massive cold and headaches and runny nose, you know, the whole thing, and a 10h flight this fridayWhat's some advice to make it less miserable? If I have to get up every 30 minutes to blow my nose in the toilet I'm going to unironically kill myself
>>2870970cut open one of the air bags and inhale premium air that only the rich affluent elite with zero human remorse can buy. Thereby administering an unfiltered dose of biological supremacy through macrobiotics.
>>2870991I've made this mistake multiple times. Had to go to a hospital because my ears adjusted to the pressure when the airplane reached peak altitude, but not when it reached low altitude. Felt like my eardrums were being torn apart and my ears filled with fluid leaving me completely unable to hear. They're better now after treatment, but I'm not sure if my hearing is as good as it was.
>>2870970>If I have to get up every 30 minutes to blow my nose in the toilet I'm going to unironically kill myselfOr you could just blow your nose in your seat. Yes, it's inconsiderate, but you're a 4chan user. You never cared about other people.
>>2871062People will be much more annoyed by you sniffling every five seconds than by honking into a hankie. It's almost inevitable that some motherfuckers are gonna get some other fuckers sick on a plane. You can only hope it's somebody else who gets sick and not you.
OP here it went away nevermind we fucking won about to board
I was in Thailand for 3 months a year ago, within a month got bored so downloaded tinder and met a local girl then spent the next 2 months hanging out with her and travelling around on her motorbike. Went into it with zero expectations but she was so fucking nice and fun as a person, never trying any BS.Bros... I wanna see her again.
>>2871520She's fucking someone right now, probably Johny foreigner or some deadbeat local. You had your fun, move on nigga.
>>2871520Cherish the memories anon.
>>2871520All SEA women are whores. You're literally more likely to find a trad girl in the west
I've never been anywhere in the SouthWest and I'l be passing through Phoenix for a few days next week.What goes on there?
>>2869843If you have to ask then you're still going to be a sexless chud no matter where you go. Phoenix is hitting 100 the earliest time ever next week. Don't move here for pussy if you don't like/tolerate the desert because it will break you. Save your buxx for a ticket to SEA like everyone else on this board.
>>2869300There's a lot of hot college girls in Scottsdale. Super rich area, you'll see a bunch of luxury supercars.
As a Euro i always wanted to visit these arid parts of the USA just to enjoy the asthetics of it. I don't know why exactly maybe because it's the opposite of Europe where everything is very congested, while a place like Arizona has that open plane endless room big cactus wild west asthetic. I'm not sure why people hate on the weather, I've never been but I'd certainly prefer the weather over rainy cold European weather. In my mind it's a really cool unique place, it's sad to see many Americans shitting on it, even though it seems to be one of the few places where America is still America, as an outsider would see it. I still hope I manage to visit it one time.
>>2867246u drive through it to beautiful san diego, but u didnt hear that from me, were full...
>>2870828It's not the landscapes that anyone hates, but the people who inhabit these landscapes. As long as you are happy being alone and don't give a fuck about talking to anyone, you can have a great time exploring Arizona. And yes, the Sonoran Desert is the most biodiverse desert in the world. Don't forget to visit Sonora state of Mexico as well for the complete Sonoran Desert experience, with the rugged coastline and the elephant cacti.>>2869974Yeah, you have to be a lizard who loves stepping out into that dry bake-oven heat.
NO NO NO. THE FUN PLACE IS ACTUALLY DOGSHIT BECAUSE ME AND MY FLYOVER FRIENDS KNOW OUR OWN PLACE BETTER.WE ALSO KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT YOUR PLACE BECAUSE ITS DESIREABLE, AND ITS BAD.
>>2867240sorry ur fav fly over bullet train town thats nothing but an aeon mall and family mart isnt as cool as tokyo bro.
>>2862375Babys best AsiaI don't need plastic surgery, human organs or to bang a kid so there is 0 reason for me to go to anywhere but Japan but I would go to more than Tokyo
>>2862333Based OPAll the famous, popular, oversaturated places > some random shithole only aspies have heard of
>>2871487Yet why are normies always talking about how much they want an authentic travel experience, off the beaten path, a hidden gem that only the locals know about? They still go to the same old oversaturated places, of course. But deep down inside they all want something outside their comfort zone, something very different from the leisure experiences they are used to in their home country. The only difference between us and them is that we can strike out on our own, figure out each step of the journey and find these amazing places. While they are like sheep without a shepherd, unable to find a path without direction.
>>2871490It's really not that deep bro. Average person just wants a fun experience without too much hassle, I can think of hundred things that are more satisfying than slumming it out in some shithole village in Laos. If you think you're superior because you willingly choose a shittier experience that's on you. I'd rather spend my time in Paris going through all kinds of beautiful architecture and art galleries than laying on the bed in Shitville, India all day because there's nothing to do there at all. You forget that anyone with remotely anything going for themselves respect their time and want to make the most out of it, unlike some aspie who wastes half his life on 4chan with nothing to show for it other than some ramblings on normies or whatever the fuck is bothering them in that very moment."Overrated" touristic sites > "hidden" gems
Do you use the ice bucket in your motel room?Also what are some other travel tips, tricks, habits, hacks, or quirks that you know?
>>2870945>drinks ice water 24/7 and plans their stays around the availability of ice/freezersSame. But, I always have whatever hotel snacks or drinks with me when I arrive in said hotel.
>go to europe in the summer>aparthotel has no ice machine>can't find ice trays at lidl or aldi>just want some ice to pregame in my hotel before hitting the bars>find some hajari ahmeld shop selling 1kg of ice bags for like 4 euro's a bag>obviously has melted and refroze but only place selling itTravel ice cube trays are an insanely good investment.
>>2870691Europeans don't use ice because it dilutes their beverages.Asians don't use ice because they prefer hot beverages.Africans don't even know what ice is.
>>2871428>Asians don't use ice because they prefer hot beverages.they use ice constantly
>>2871432It varies widely between Asian countries. Some like Thailand use fucktons of ice, others like India have virtually no ice at all.
Anyone here know some good places to visa reset in SEA? Looking for something cheap, just need to focus on work and working out. Looking at Malaysia or Philippines but heard Taiwan is worth the cost in apartment stays. Budget is about 1k(would like lower), really just want something clean to take some time to myself and maybe work on a tan.Malaysia I am looking at George Town KL isn't bad but the "ALLLAAAAAAAAH" at sunrise kinda gets old fastPhilippines thinking about Cebu, but after lurking the PHG thread idk was not a fan of Manila Taiwan, Clean when I visited Taipei but expensiveI'd like it to have my gym(anytime) at the place if possible. Normally I'd use SK as a visa gap but man I dread going back there these days. Looking around september into october so yeah I understand typhoon season can be a shit.
>>2871007I implied that some gyms are segregated. Learn to read you esl freak.
>>2871382>OP specifically mentions anytime>WELL ERM I MEANT SOME GYMSokay dude
>>2871389>esl retard doesn't know what "there are also" meansShitbrown moment
>>2871404Anon OP specifically pointed out use anytime fitness, 'high quality' gyms whatever the hell that DYEL shit is supposed to mean, exist all over. KL fails on being clean, also listed as a want in the OP. You basically went completely off script ignoring the OP's requirements. KL is also kinda shit if you're focusing on gains, the portion sizes are quite small, protein powder costs a small fortune for whatever reason, air quality is horrid to work out with during Sept/Oct, and working on a proper tan is going to be a chore unless you're booking a higher cost condo that has a proper pool area. KL has some upsides but working out properly is fairly low on the list of offerings.>Additionally, due to it being an islamic nation (in theory), there are also segregated gyms in you desire separation from women. I like these types of gyms in Dubai and elsewhere since gym thots filming are very annoying to me.This is some ESL, indian male "yis,,, girl love me lift so much 12kg weight. big now" shit. Usually the person who has to point out kek esl ran everything through google translate and didn't understand any context of someone who speaks English natively.
>>2871447>the portion sizes are smallStop eating RM 10 slop meals then, you cheapskate. You might as well order McD's value meal in America and say that American portion sizes are skimpy. If you want big chunks of beef or mutton, you need to pay RM 20+ for your meal.>>2871007>KL pretty dirtyCompared to what? Poland? By Third World standards it is very clean and well-kept.>>2870256I rented a very nice apartment in Toucheng for about $23 per day. Beach and mountain trails both nearby. People were unfriendly and would look away when I walked by.>>2870169You can find places in Malaysia where you'll never hear the call to prayer. Look up masjid on Google Maps to see where they are.>>2870364Hell, even the middle-of-nowhere village I am staying at in India (Velhe, Maharashtra) has a modern glass-front workout club with all the equipment. Well patronized every evening too.
