Can someone tell me about this state. I might have to live here for a year or so.What’s it like outside Nashville and Memphis in the smaller towns? Is it just old people and overweight people? Is it boring or things to do?
>>2877749West Tennessee has a few forests, but it's mostly farmland. Central TN has more wooded areas for sure. East TN you start to get more mountainous Appalachian vibes with black bears and such. Some people get real spooked out about Appalachia. There are random sighting of cougars throughout the state, and coyotes and Red Wolves in West TN. Something to be aware of as well. In terms of price, the closer you get to Nashville, the higher it will be. I would probably look at the region around Camden TN.

Go to many American downtowns and they still have ancient incandescent traffic lamps on a timer, despite all the massive growth in GDP. Streets are bumpy and in poor condition, even though there are grand government buildings all over the city center. Countless millions of dollars devoted to bureaucrat desk space. Still, so much space is wasted, not put to any meaningful economic use. But in a way that's what America is supposed to be, the opposite of an Old World shithole where every square meter is occupied by something, yet the overall GDP remains very low. In a country where money is principally made from money, you don't need snack vendors and tailors on every block.
>>2879089>Streets are bumpy and in poor conditionThis is getting wild.The first 5-10 years after I got my driver's license, roads were smooth and potholes were rare. Something you occasionally find in random crappy neighborhoods.But over the last decade it's been increasing everywhere.Now it's like the norm to dodge potholes that would rip the wheels off your vehicle on the freeway, and pretty much any small down feels like you should be driving a lifted truck to avoid ruining your car.

Going to Berlin in June, already got a decent list of food and fashion spots to go to, but wondering if there are any must-see brutalism/avantgarde inspired places. Like restaurants, bars, lost places, etcAny lesser known things that aren't promoted by IG influencers and guides would be appreciated.Also planning to look up some lost places (brutalism overtaken by nature) so any tips for that would also be appreciated.
>>2879389>>2879444>>2879451I'm from the EU you retarded fucks
>>2879451Yes, it's probably why the german/turk anon is seething. The German economy is already totally fucked. Will be interesting to see how they keep up with all of their generous social programs when they have to support their own military and defense budget as well.

Looking for opinions on Argentina. I am looking at options for living long term part time (5.5 months) away from Canada. With the possibility of making a permanent move in the future. Background: Retired CAF with a substantial retirement combined with injury pension. Would just be me and my teenage son travelling.Funding wise, I clear approx $6000 USD/month after taxes.What's the internet access like in the rural areas?I plan on renting a car for mobility as I hate public transport.What's the best places for rural living where I can enjoy the Gaucho culture?Are there any places I might be priced out of living?Thanks
I was just there on holiday so take my limited view. Buenos Aires is a very cool party city but not really cheap. If you have a child then perhaps you won't take advantage of that anyway. Do you speak Spanish? You better if want to have a great time. I loved BA and Patagonia for a holiday. I have heard of people doing the digital nomad thing in BA. For living there I reckon you would really need to embrace the lifestyle and learning Spanish. The rest you could overcome easily.
>>2877678>there are a lot of exchange houses that will take your usd or your crypto and give u a good ammount of moneyPractically none of them take "crypto". The few who do almost all only take USDT-TRON. I only found one willing to take Bitcorn (their sign also indicated Ethereum was allowable but I didn't try it). I didn't find any willing to take anything else.
>>2879473>their signI think you need to talk to people to find an unofficial exchange, aka cava, that deals with crypto, but I still wouldn't expect them to trade much other than btc/eth
I'm Argentinan my mom says but I'll never go there

Lads I booked a flight to cuba this sunday, recommendations on things to do and what is the state of affairs at the moment. Was a fairly impulsive decision but I've always wanted to see it. Thoughts

>he wears a backpack like a child>he hands a briefcase in his shoulder like a women>he rolls his suitcase like a fagpicrel is the only correct way for a man to carry his shit.
I carry nothing when I travel. I wander the world buttass naked.

>>2878164How else can socially awkward tech wagies carry around their laptop and headphones?
>>2878164Many people can't afford their own place anymore. And they don't trust their roommates, the house cleaner or even the landlord. So that means every time they go out, they carry a small backpack with their valuables inside. You'll notice the guys who bring their pack everywhere never place it up on the luggage rack in the train/bus. They always place them on the adjacent seat, always within arm's reach. Even on the sleeper train, they wrap their foot around the backpack strap so it can't be stolen when they are snoozing.
>>2877521why are they like this?
Going to Seoul May 8-11.Thinking about that XtheLEAGUE pop-up on the 10th.Is it gonna be a total zoo? Thoughts?
>>2878619>4 days in seoul>for a """competition""" where random items are soldWhile youre in seongsu head down to Nudake teahouse and eat some really bad desserts along with their weird teas. Seoul forest park has a garden show going on right now, whatever that entails. The Olive Young N near Line 2's seongsu station is a bit more spacious and put together than other locations so if you planned on going to one of the "flagships" might aswell go here, definitely better than the tourist hell thats all 8 of the Myeongdong locations. Every Olive Young basically has the same shit so I have no clue what makes the larger ones any different. Would've opted for more days to be more of a tourist.
I have a conference in the Provence area in mid-June and another in Lisbon in late June, leaving me a bit over 2 free weeks in-between. I'm considering staying in Europe rather than fly back home. What should I do?

Is Japan really a lonely place for guy-jin like this movie depicts
>>2879034a lot of shitters get hard filtered by language
>>2879034IME I would not say that people who are fluent in Japanese are any happier in Japan long term than people who don't speak it.It's not the language barrier that gets to people, it's the cultural barrier and how different the society is.
>>2879059If you're autistic, you're born to be Japanese and there's no cultural barrier. The people who struggle the most and go home are the highly social people. The ones who talk to their families for 3 hours on the phone every single fucking day.For people who don't care about their family/have no family and just want a place with modern conveniences where they can also be left alone, Japan isn't bad at all.
>>2877230Those figures are highly inaccurate, as they do not account for the numerous people in the country as tourists or students or temporary workers. >>2879090But don't you get tired of being left alone after a few weeks? It's no wonder the addicts are always wishing they could bring weed into Japan. Weed makes solitude feel okay.
>>2879433Not him, but I hadn't had any friends or close family members for years before going to Japan, so "being left alone" is just default for me. The fact is solitude itself is not a problem, but being oversocialized and not having any passions to use your free time on.
Have any of you (or anyone you know) managed to sneak up from an economy flight to a premium/business tier without paying more than double to price of a plain ol' economy trip?I want to hear your stories of how this was possible... for research.
>>2879241I just flew a long haul in first class and nobody there wore a suit.
>>2879241>Maybe wear a suit.Actual wealthy people do not dress up because they've already made it and do not give a single fuck what anything else thinks. Upwardly-aspiring do, but not for leisure. No wage suck dresses up for flying either, and in all likelihood all-economy policies have decimated work travel in business class.>It's not like they have a passenger list and call you by nameOn literally every flight there's been a list of who is in premium cabin, you're greeted accordingly and for those with invite-only status the captain actually comes out and says hello>or confirm your meal choice, or know exactly how you paid for your seat.They literally come out and ask beforehand what you'll like, and upgrade/downgrade priority is explicitly tied to how you've paid according to the hierarchy posted by >>2877224>Pretend like you didn't know if you get caught.

what is Laos like?
There is indeed a lao border crossing so you can go to and from Thailand. I asked about illegally going to Myanmar. The answer is unclear. They said they'd have to talk to a guy to get the answer for me and I was like never mind it.
I'm in boten now. Its hooker Paradise
>>2882148Niggers find me by the hooker sheds, I am drinking a beer
>>2882148>BotenI had to look it up but I see it's on the Chinese border and that seems interesting. You have my attention. What's it like there?
>>2881780One travel tuber just uploaded a video of the place. Looks like everybody working there is Burmese (from Myanmar) and everybody in the town sleeps during the day so they can work (scamming Americans) at night. Interesting place.

Please visit Cleveland, Ohio
>>2877094Lake Superior is incredibly scenic with some massive bluffs, and I haven’t even been to the Canadian side.
>>2876491Cleveland turned into the definitive shithole midwestern city because it used to be a top 5 city in the US. There were Rockefeller mansions, a "millionaire's row" and you can still see the influence all over Cleveland Heights and Shaker Heights. There are some crazy neighborhoods on West Park in Shaker, a great place to go for a walk or bike ride. There is a Frank Lloyd Wright house you can actually stay at which is something really cool but hardly anyone does. Cleveland has a lot of Central and Eastern European influence, plenty of people speak Polish or Russian at home, even 3rd-4th generation families. Little Italy actually feels European when people are out for patio season or a feast day. There is lots of cultural influence here, but it's mostly White people so it's not really celebrated.The worst areas of East Cleveland are probably on par with Chicago South Side but Cleveland is notable in that the "no-go" zones are pretty much impossible to reach unless you intend to go there. There aren't highway exits for it at all. Libs will say that this redlining effect created systemic racism but I think it's one of the reasons why Cleveland was able to have containment zones unlike its peer Detroit. The average Clevelander is pretty left as a result, blaming the billionaire class stealing from the working class.
>>2876552Cleveland Arcade (free to walk through), reminded me of Galeries St Hubert in BrusselsPlayhouse Square - the largest performing arts center outside of NYC. Nice and always something going onEdgewater Park / Battery Park has the potential to be beautiful in the summer when it's not absolutely taken over by the usual suspects (picrel). It's fine in Spring or Fall but good luck going in July.The Cleveland Art Museum is really good and free. You can also see the real taxidermied Balto at the Natural History Museum. Cuyahoga Valley National Park, there's a great bike trail from downtown that takes you straight into it. Worth seeing probably the most obscure national park. Skip West Side Market, sports stadiums, zoo, etc. Rock Hall is good but not amazing so I wouldn't suggest unless you are a big fan.
>>2876995That isn't remotely how it works and no one asked for your reddit political opinions (Baltimore, Detroit, Newark, Chicago, all disprove your shitty thesis anyways)
