if its possible to answer, what are the main differences between nyc and chicago, other than size and density

>>2876304
haven't been to chicago and a while, it's very lively but much smaller and less of an international feel. the city itself and architecture is cool. I think the nyc subway is a bit better than the el train in chicago

>>2876352
nice

I plan to go to Egypt to see Cairo and Luxor
If I only go to the museums, and historical spots how long would I realistically need to be there for and what would be worth going to if not only these spots.
As of right now its a guys only trip and there are 3 of us

>>2877381
Pretty hot out there. I'd likely tap out after like 2 weeks

>>2877381
>As of right now its a guys only trip and there are 3 of us
Three sounds like a good number for an Egypt trip. I went as a group of five, and bad things kept happening. Two guys and my grandpa's dog ended up dying. One guy survived but lost a few fingers, and my grandpa almost died from blood loss.

Which route do you guys think it's the best? I plan to stick to overland. Cheap hostels, guesthouses, hitchhiking sometimes.

You can buy a golden visa in countries like portugal or cyprus, you just need an initial investment of 500,000eur or so.

Just move to Canada, they're pretty much taking in anyone these days. You don't even need a college degree and a job offer, you can liberally a plumber and that's good enough for them

Get a STEM or medical degree and you can migrate legally and get residency then citizenship fairly easily in many EU countries. Going illegally means you will get forever stuck with garbage jobs paid hand to mouth.

>>2876011
Portugal's new gov is gutting their golden visa program and easy 5 year nationality path in May.

Overstaying is not worth it. You cannot get a good job while staying illegally and if you ever get an amnesty and a legal residency you'd be 30+ year old by then and too old to start a career.
If you are academically gifted the best course of action is to get a scholarship for a STEM program in an EU school. You will easily get residency at the end and will be able to start a proper career. I you are less academically gifted, the second best course of action is to get a good STEM degree in your own country. It's more tricky because you have to thoroughly ensure your degree would be considered valuable in Europe. For some jobs where you need a governmental licence (doctor) getting your foreign degree recognized can be difficult.

>>2873865
sounds like you are fucked
might be able to talk the airbnb customer support into giving you airbnb credits but unlikely
ive only ever had to change the dates (easy enough), cancel when the host did because the property had issues (they give you airbnb credits), or get a refund cuz the host was insane (they drag it out but will eventually do it)

>>2873865
You can, but it's tricky. There's a limit on how far back you can dispute a charge. Airbnb will probably charge you again after the chargeback. If you ever enter a new credit card, expect them to hit you with that old charge the second you book anything new. They may ban you. And technically, they could send you to collections.

I would tell the landlord that it's a medical issue and ask them for a refund first. After establishing that it's a medical issue, you can also dispute with Airbnb by claiming an "Extenuating Circumstance". They require some type of proof. You can just fake a document and send it. They aren't allowed to call your doctor to verify because it violates Hipaa laws in the US.

>>2873847
That's all?? A friend of mine negotiated a long-term lease on what started as an AirBnB rental, and she paid less than half what the rate was on AirBnB.

>>2876270
most airbnb's cost at least 10x what the locals pay for equivalent long term rentals.
the 20% baked in doesnt cover the entire retard tax you pay for using a platform service where the entire userbase is braindead paypig golem.

>>2876270
>>2876272
for stays of 2 weeks or less (most trips) though airbnb tends to be cheaper than local cabin rentals

Unless you're trafficking drugs and actively running around and screaming for people to rise up and riot, China doesn't give a shit.

>>2875356
>see with my own eyes how real is the chink century propaganda, but its literally impossible to do anything there without phone apps.
you already believe the propaganda it is "literally impossible to do anything there without phone apps." it isn't. people will huff and puff and people might refuse to break a 100rmb note for a 5rmb drink but as a tourist you can do all tourist activities with cash.

>>2875390
the reason china doesn't allow some companies to access the chinese people is data storage and access. facebook, google ect could have acquiesced to the chinese regs and had access, but they didn't want to host chinese data in china which could be accessed by different chinese ministries.
they aren't going to change the rules because 20 million people use vpns. each of those vpns users has a black mark against them for future use. if they do anything else wrong, a couple of local cops will visit their homes with a ring binder of their offences including breaking the law by using a vpn.

Alipay and Wechat are fine. Note that Wechat is more integrated with social media so microapps often ask for verification with a Chinese mobile number - for free activities (such as those in Beijing i.e. visiting Tianen'men) you will consequently need one unless you pay for somebody to book these for you. I prefer using Alipay for payments, it works more consistently and has easy access to many microapps you'll use. You can also quickly set up transport cards for using metro and busses in different cities which comes in very handy.

Having came back from a visit last week, the development is real and there's a surprising amount of weeb stuff, in some respects it can compete with Japan - though there's still some roughness. The countryside is definitely a few steps behind in terms of development though the government appears to be bent on moving everyone to said cities, such that it seems weirdly deserted.

Definitely get Alipay set up at least, vendors sometimes prefer to use Wechat so it can be useful to have. Amap isn't necessary but can be useful. To be honest I found metro maps enough to navigate. As tickets are linked to Chinese citizen ID, your passport will basically be used as an alternative, so 90% of attractions you'll just scan your passport and be in.

I used a Esim from Trip and could use internet normally, no idea what half the stuff is about in this thread desu.

>>2875356
Alipay and wechat are a must, for translation you can use google translator, you just need to make sure to download chinese so you don't have any problems. If you need to use a map and you have an Iphone maps would do. Mullvad VPN did it for me, just in case you wanna know which VPN works there

Since I was born in México, the government paid for my dentist bills at their government buildings. The only thing they couldn’t do is remove the tissue infection i had. Lucky there was a professional surgeon who wants to do it within 3,000 pesos (173 United States dollars). Mind you, that legal procedure is required, i have zero experience for when foreigners ask for our government assistance. México doesn’t cover everything, as i said. But you will get professional support to help you instead of random people you meet at the sidewalk store. Lastly, i live in a small city. I heard of stories like México city having you paid for assistance or waiting 5 months or something. Each state has different assistance policies so don’t just assume big government means easy access.

>>2873215
I went to Los Algodones in 2019-20 just before covid lockdowns to get multiple implants, a root canal, fillings and bonding. Before I went, I had 2 dentists here in Philly give me an 'estimate' of work to be done and sent it to the Mexican dentist. The price difference was big...28k for US, 12k for Mexican. I let my mouth go to shit with drinking and drugs so that was on me...but all the dentists said I had too many good teeth left so I wasn't a good candidate for all on fours.
I went there for 3 separate visits, each about a week long. I was amazed that they did so much dental work within a week at a time.
Overall, with me losing time at work, aifare, dental work, all of it ended up being 18k total, so for me it was worth it...and the Mexican dentist was fantastic...clean, well educated, all of them top quality. Would recommend though only if you need alot of work done or you live near the border because the cost benefit isn't as big today as it used to be.

>>2875144
was this in CDMX? i heard that cdmx medical prices are comparable to the US

>>2873215
Quite a few people are going for Brazil.
You'll need to contact them beforehand to setup the whole procedure. A lot have English speakers and help on the process. Usually it goes:
Stay 1 month or 1-2 weeks for the whole procedure. You fly back. Then you need to find a local doc in your country for checkups, while updating the Brazilian one. Travel back for any big changes and/or finalization.

>>2875313
Everything in CDMX is expensive, hotels are scamming people over 10% normal price. Flights to Mexico City are 30% more expensive than others and sometimes people end up in TLD (Toluca) because websites are stupid at not recognizing MEX airport. Even black market is trying to scam you. Not like Guadalajara where you get black market drug deals, not like tucan where money is everything, Mexico city is where scammers are mostly are.

It should be the opposite. Yeah, I know you want to maximize your daylight hours, but dinner in Japan is general more expensive than lunch.

>>2876184
Fair point, personally I just like being able to have a sit down meal at the end of the day if I'm going to be racking up 20/30k steps but yeah opposite works too.
I will always get an ekiben if I'm going to take a train though, wish that was more accepted in my cunt

the 11 chinese pins alone would take ~30days at least
20days if you're fine with spending every other day at airports or train stations exclusively, spending like 1h at every sight, then leaving and being miserable
a relaxed, realistic pace where you actually see the cities and area around would be more like ~50-60days

like Jiuzhaigou (which you pinned) takes about 3-5 FULL days if you actually hike and not do a tourist bus photo drop off tour

for Japan another 20-30days (not sure, pins are very close together)
and a few days in Taiwan & Indonesia each

something like 3 months, costing about ~10-12k€ would be realistic
flight prices might rape you though
if you rush it (again, bad idea) 2 months, cost will be only marginally lower though (maybe 8-10k€) because after accommodation, a big chunk of it will be HSR, Flights and sights

>>2876037
>If the Chinese Border Guards ask you who Taipei belongs to the correct answer is the P.R.C.
