why does France get so many more tourists than everyone else?
>>2747769Hong Kong does this as well. There are absurd numbers of "tourists" to Hong Kong. Most of them are people in towns next door in mainland China (the same country) hopping over for a few hours. It's like saying Jersey City has the most foreign tourism on earth. Which might be true when you consider New York a foreign place and tourism is people going home after work or going over for cheap groceries.
>>2748292Jersey City would have to be ran buy an authoritarian regime for this analogy to be good.
>>2748029This. I can't wait to go home. America is just the fucking place to be my stomach hurts I'm so homesick bros
>>2747687their soft power from hundreds of years ago is still paying dividends
>>2748182Border city residents of Mexico can get a border pass. Tons of people work or attend school on the US side, but live on the Mexican side.
Travelling when you’re uglyCan you have a fun travel experience if you’re ugly? I don’t want to go to a hostel just to be ignored and have to go do a bunch of generic tourist stuff alone, rather than being involved in the real reason for travelling such as partying, hooking up, etc How does one go about this?
>>2744588it's fine
>>2744964That's where you're wrong, bucko. Desperate girls will bang anywhere. Just don't make a lot of noise but it will be awkward for everyone regardless. Not the most ideal situation, raw dogging some slut in front of all her roommates, getting dressed in bed, then walking the fuck out of their room never to see any of them again. The weird part was that I probably wasn't the only guy doing that in the room. When you are slutty and have roommates, you just have to make do with what you got.
>>2744588You can't go to hostels if you're ugly unless you can do tricks with a Rubik's cube or something, just get a room and hookers, retard
>>2744588im in the same situation op.im ugly and gay. god punished me twice.i can't even get hookers cause i dont know where to find male ones and unlike women, who can be cute enough to fuck regardless of race even if you wouldn't have kids with them, non-white men are ugly as fuck, the only hot ones are maybe arabs but they'll have you beheaded.
>>2748974So you're gay and you believe in god. Have you considered conversion therapy?
non reddit travel advice for nyc?going there for 5 nightsi don't want to go to times square with all the spics. im sure there's plenty of stuff to do. i dont mind niggers as long as they're the artsy jazz or rap types and not the fent subway addicts
>>2744202ny is catered for the homo lifestyle >broadway>Greenwich village barsshit only gays would be into>shitty nightclubs>behold myyy art gallery of junkmore gay stuff>overpriced restaurants>overpriced fashiongayyy>Downtown Brooklyn massively zesty and also raging negro crackheadsyou go to nyc for a specific thing like some band is playing, a conference, or whatever otherwise it's 99% just things homos would be into.
The only place I liked in NYC was lower Manhattan, and I outright refused to use the subway.There's a ferry system that can take you all around manhattan and that's what I used for non-walking travel. It's really nice, cheap, and you can do some really kino trips up and down the island at night just seeing all the lights around you.Statue of Liberty is also pretty impressive just prepare for a much larger, nastier ferry full of third world browns and then a comical amount of basic bitches taking selfies with the statue.

Greetings /trv/,I'm going to Czech Republic next March. As I already know Prague my main focus would be in other cities. My planned route:>Prague/ Kutna Hora 2 days (one for arrival and other for a day-trip to Kutna Hora)>Pilsen/ Karlovy Vary 3 days (weekend), being one a day-trip to Karlovy>Czesky Krumlov/ Czeske Budekovice 3 days, being one a day-trip to Budekovice>Prague/ Hradec Kralove/ Pradubice 4 days. It would be the St. Patrick's weekend, so I suppose there will be some event there, right?>Ostrava 2 days>Olomouc 2 days>Brno 3 days (weekend)Is Bohemian Paradise good at that time of the year? I may scrap Ostrava for it. I also accept other suggestions.
>>2747626Ostrava is a shit hole, would not recommend. One day in Budejovice isn't enough, would recommend overnight. Amazing place and not as touristy as Krumlov. Definitely try visit the Budvar brewery there. For food I recommend Masne Kramy near the city square or the Kozel restaurant next to the stop Marianka Namisti. For proper Czech food order Svickova at either place. It might be a bit too early but around Easter time you can get Czech green beer, it isn't the best but its worth a try. Also see if they offer Silvowitz, try the plum kind (brandy). Tastes like hell but it's a typical Czech thing. Fun fact, the city square in Budejovice is the largest in Central Europe by square area. For pubs there I recommend either Iron Maiden (great view of the Malse River) or Singer if you'd more into dive bars. Other bars you can try out are Kampa (on the University grounds to the west, 5 bus stops from the centre) or Zluta Poneroka for something more fancy. Definitely worth visiting the black tower to give a good view of the city. If you're into a weird mix of commie/Art Deco architecture, walk down Lannova street, right near the train station, you can walk into the shopping centre Prior for a communist style shopping centre experience (be warned that no one speaks English there).March is still a bit cold, otherwise would definitely say take a canoe ride along the Vltava between Krumlov and Budejovice, great nature and tons of places to stop and load up on beer between the towns. Literally if you went during any other month there would be more specific things I could recommend, but March is rather I can't comment too munch on Pilsen, Karlovy Vary, Olomouc or Brno, but if you want detailed info on what to do in Prague or Ceske Budejovice, let me know. - t. Amerimutt who lived 5 years in Budejovice, probably the best place I've lived in so far, nice trip down memory line writing this...
>>2748734Cesky Krumlov during the off-season is mostly locals. I went in late September and it was all locals from Budějovice at the bars. There are some great restaurants and a fantastic brewery in town. At a little place called Krčma Šatlava, I had one of the best meals I've eaten in Europe.
In your experience, how do motorbikes and tuktuks treat pedestrians in SEA? I've never normally noticed any major issues except here in Siem Reap. They act like monkeys and try to hit you. They'll zigzag around in the road if you're crossing to scare you. They'll yell out if you impede them at all. I've never noticed this in Thailand, Vietnam or Malaysia. I would not recommend Cambodia on this basic. Anti social people
Look. I took a break from my serious travel activities, and found it for you.. back when the internet was informative..https://www.travelingmark.com/topic/cambodia/
>>2746754thanks mr pedo
>>2746646I've always wondered how much the tuktuk drivers hate pedestrians who refuse to use their ripoff services. Most places in SEA they don't seem to care that I always walk past them. However if you're making tuktuks swerve and yell at you, then maybe your dumb ass shouldn't be wandering around in traffic like a sick dog. SEA isn't America, you need to pay the fuck attention at all times when in public. Eyes and ears, 360 degrees. When a gap in the traffic arises, dart across the road. People will never touch the brakes for a pedestrian here, and some guys drive with reckless disregard for anyone else. Nothing you can do, the roads are anarchic. Find a smaller city to stay in if the traffic is too overwhelming for you.
>>2748896That's why these guys are so good at Tetris, they're hyper vigilant and used to quickly putting together the patterns of traffic and threat around them
>>2748896Yes always pay attention or you might walk into the fumes of boiling gutter oil, like me. Not very pleasant, to say the least! Caught a big throat-full!
Those who have emigrated out of their home countries: How do you rationalize/cope with being separated from your family?I'm a 24 year-old American, and I want to live somewhere else (at least for a while if not permanently), but my parents are both quite old, and obviously I couldn't drag my brother along with me.I have a lot of family that I love very much right where I am now, and I don't know if I could bear leaving behind without just being horribly homesick and anxious. But, I also really, really desire long-term traveling ever since I got a taste for it in high school, and I also feel that eventually I would rather raise my own family somewhere that isn't the USA.I can't do anything about it now, but I've just been thinking about it a lot and I'm having trouble resolving this cognitive dissonance
>>2743032This is good advice and lines up with my own experience op.
>>2742651Congrats you seem like a good son. Im overseas and between everyone’s busy schedules and time zone differences it’s hard to even talk sometimes. And traveling is hard too of course it’s expensive and takes time.
I moved across country 10 years and my mom tries to guilt trip me a lot into moving back. I visit twice a year and occasionally go on a short vacation with her too. What's ironic, is that she did the same thing. She joined the military and moved halfway around the world. You can't stay at home forever. You have to move out and live your life. In my circle of friends, almost none of them stayed in our hometown. They all spread out. We have a friend reunion every year and we all fly in from around the country and do a short trip somewhere random. The two in our group who stayed close to home had massive families with a ton of siblings, one had 8 brothers and sisters and the other had 10. They were all pretty close, so it made more sense to stay near home.
>>2742651not hard
The farther I've gone afield the less often I've returned to visit my family. Their lives are so different from mine that we don't really have anything in common anymore. The past has faded into distant memory, so we can't do much reminiscing anymore either. My most recent visit in May 2024 was after 3 years of absence. We had a good time, but staying in someone else's house is not to my liking. I've gotta have my own space.
Kind of dejected with the West and have lived a pretty crazy life and my dopamine receptors are fried looking for an adventure/Sabbatical/run away whatever you want to call it.Looking for new frontiers the wild west and new experiences could be spiritual, charity work, job, or just exploring. Not looking for any digital nomad shit. I'm fairly well travelled and often in non-tourist area's so safety/comfort isn't the biggest deal for me. I also have a decent amount of money saved up.>In be for running away wont solve your problemsyeah I know I don't care I just want some adventure. If you where to go on a Sabbatical/adventure/running away where would you go open to all suggestions
>>2746921
sailing would be an interesting idea
>>2746216you could try to get past the ice wall
>>2746262Why do you LARP? Africa is just a big slum now. There’s no adventure. It’s just like traveling in the hood. The middle and upper classes places were prime for travel but now they’re all the same. Africa is no exception.
>>2747909Traveling in the hood is an adventure, kekIf you can't stand being around so many naggers, in particular throngs of idle young bucks with nothing better to do than harass whitey, then you should try to find some volunteer arrangement out in the more sparsely populated regions of the continent.
Why do you guys travel to shithole countries? I understand that its cheaper but I find these countries gross and depressing
>>2741007>Why do you guys travel to shithole countries?last chance for white males. grim. same reason why their fore fathers (white boomers) move to SEA countries
>>2741233>If it wasn't just a kink and you were actually trying to "save the white race" why wouldn't you go for a white woman?white incels have been going on forever with "save white race, get asian wife". even old KKK grand wizards have asian wives lmao
>>2741018hi white dorkus
>>2741239I am feeling that image
>>2748414Nope, I'm the one doing the shunning in my home country. Since early childhood I have rebuffed most friendly overtures. Being a solitary alien in a faraway country comes natural to me. People's reactions to my presence provide intriguing insights into their nature, even when we don't verbally engage. >>2748760Coomers and their obsession with sex. In the real world, having sex is like 0.1% of what occupies people's attention. Tell that to a coomer, and they are incredulous. Everything for them has to revolve around sex. It gets so tiresome.
what breeds/mixes of SEA street dog shouldn't I charge at like a retard?
>breedI wish I was that young again. These dogs generally ignore people, they're not like dogs that got let out of a house running around all feral. They live on the street, so they're pretty chill and just walk around eating scraps. People ignore them, maybe shoo them away. Nobody pets them, you shouldn't pet them.
Xylitol kills dogs in as little as 2 or 3 days after they ingest it. If you are staying somewhere long term and there are aggressive street dogs threatening you, they can easily be killed by leaving 'doggie treats' out mixed with xylitol sweetener. Look up fatal dose of xylitol via vet/pet care resources. Xylitol is completely safe for humans and is a sugar free sweetener you can put in your coffee or anything. You can buy it anywhere without raising suspicion. I typically buy ground up raw chicken or pork, though food leftovers laden with xylitol can also work. You want the dog to swallow a big glob of whatever at once, and they will inhale anything that is meat. Due to pack dynamics, the 'alpha' will usually scavenge the treats first, and die first, which sends the group into disarray. If you managed to get multiple dogs with your 'treats' in one day, the sudden die off will cause the pack to immediately leave the area.If the pack is especially belligerent and/or stupid, you might have to place xylitol treats around for for a couple weeks. You will have issues where new street dogs will wander in due to the absence/power vacuum and begin scavenging (and then dying) also.If you are staying short term it isn't worth it, but in as little as 1 month you can create a 'death zone' that all street dogs recognize as extreme danger, and they will stop coming around.The tricky part is delivering it in a non suspicious way. If you are seen feeding the dogs or leaving food for them, and then the dogs start dying, expect locals to fuck with you. So it's best to just drop fatal doggie treats while walking at night, ideally when being followed by the dangerous dogs you want to kill, so you don't accidentally kill someones pet they are walking.Don't get caught doing this. SEA monkey shitheads don't do anything about dangerous rabies carrying wild dogs, but they will try to put you in jail for protecting your neighborhood from them.
FAQ:>omg how could you?This is pest control. Street dogs are dangerous and aggressive in many parts of the world. Animals that act threatening towards humans are killed routinely everywhere as a simple common sense matter of fact. The type of animal doesn't matter.>why don't you contact animal control?In SEA they don't do anything. You can bribe them to kill animals for you, but they won't do a good job and won't do anything to ensure other packs don't take over the territory. >why xylitol?100% fatal if consumed and digested at the correct dose. No 'getting sick for awhile then bouncing back'. They die every time.>isnt there a more humane way to do this?Yes, shooting them dead instantly how I did to coyotes as a kid on my grandpa's ranch would be more humane, but because SEAgooks dont believe in self defense against wild animals, we have to resort to these cruel measures. >why don't you just move?I won't allow shitty feral dogs to dictate where I want to live. I am a human, I will kill dangerous animals to secure my territory.>what about those boomer NGO's for sterilizing dogs?The catch and release dog neutering bullshit doesn't stop them from menacing people trying to walk or ride their scooter around. They are part of the problem. There is no level of neutering stray dogs that can fix what is going on, because there is a huge population of feral dogs on the fringes of human civilization that keep generating new dogs that roam into the cities. It's pure virtue signalling faggot boomer shit.>death zone?If enough dogs die mysteriously in an area, dogs stop going there. All canines follow this pattern. Feral dog death zones are how you purge large swathes of cities and neighborhoods of dogs for long periods of time. They have to die there though and leave their 'death scent' around, which lingers for months.
Furthermore, you shouldn't humiliate yourself by playing stupid shouting/body language games with these horrid creatures. Just kill them. They are animals, and they think they can fuck with you (a human man). So, kill them. That's the law of man. Ignore their posturing and their bullshit, then murder them using your ability to critically think and use tools. You had better believe they would murder and eat you if they thought they could get away with it.
This village in Laos is full of highly protective guard dogs, with only a few of them being secured behind a closed gate. In the daytime there are no problems, they're all snoozing lazy fuckers, but after dark I have to carry a stout stick when walking around. They come out of the entrances barking and menacing, but merely seeing the stick in my hand makes them keep their distance, and after I pass they go back onto their property.
I am in my early 20s, live in western europe and have never left my native country before. I would prefer somewhere with a moderate climate and a low cost of living to maximise my cash. I have an interest in history.My reason for wanting to travel is that I have wasted my youth so far by studying, working jobs I hate and playing video games. I would like to see more of the world and be less depressed in life, even if only for a few months.Please recommend me destinations or routes for extended periods of travelling which would be doable for a beginner.
>>2742660easy as fuck i did it working a trade job and doing overtime if your over 20 you should atleast be making 24 bucks hour otherwise you're a fucking stupid retard
>>2747209Post retirement/brokerage/crypto balance. New 2025 rule, sorry … :)
>>2744328OP as a guy who is 25 and squandered 20K when I was 21-22 listen to him.Luckily I got my shit together and am on track to do pretty well now, but definitely get into investing now. Still travel if you want of course, it'll be good experience, but don't blow 50K on it. as this guys says 5K annually is a pretty decent budget, and you can probably squeeze 2-3 trips out of that if you're smart and make the money back(and more) on investments with the capital you have.
>>2747235I’m in college and there’s no part time jobs near me making 24 an hour. Where do you live where that’s normal?
>>2747209You sound like a poorfag. I work at google and my annual TC is already close to $1M.
What is the modern day equivalent of paris in the 20s, NYC in the 80s? Where is a creative renaissance happening, and where will we see influential artists emerge out of?
something big is going on in buenos aires i can tell you that
By the time people figure out creative movements are happening, it's over. But you need a place to be cheap/poor enough to not push out artists, you need a place dense enough that people can collaborate and can have an audience, and you need a media environment that can document and amplify the work and the people making it. My guess is that Philadelphia's going to be the next place.
>>2748562yeah you're 100 percent waffling
>>2748741hopefully. we could you use the bleedoff into trenton and camden
>>2748714you wish LMAO
I’m thinking of moving to Belarus.How long does it take to get an expedited visa in either Lithuania or Poland at the embassy? And is it possible to get work there as a foreigner, or work and get paid under the table? I’m a westerner.
>>2748347>UndoubtedlyI.e. you know fuck all.
>>2748255>I’m thinking of moving to BelarusSick mental help first. If you just looking for an easy pussy as a foreigner, better move to Ukraine
I remember wanting to move there in my /pol/ days because it was the whitest country in the world.
>>2748698Have you been there? It's a very nice country (no "easy pussy" though, it's not SEA)
>>2748255Belarus sucks ass bro, it's not what you think it out to be
My teeth are fucked. They need serious work, or I'm fairly certain they're going to keep crumbling away as the years pass, asthey have been progressively, despite my oral hygiene. I don't know how dentists sleep at night with what they charge, andhow teeth aren't covered by Canada's wonderful socialized medical system is retarded given the ridiculous tax we pay into it.Anyway, I'm flirting with the idea of heading to India to get total work done. Good idea/bad idea? Am I going to save a fortune with quality and lasting work done, or get really screwed?
>>2745805I had EXTENSIVE work done, mostly right before covid. Five implants, one implant bridge, two root canals and fillings...I let my dental hygiene go to shit during my drug abuse phase and when I sobered up, I had a hard time affording even piece meal work here in the Philly area (due to costs). I saved up and my aunt chipped in and I got all of it done in Los Algodones Mexico (across from Yuma) for about 40% the total cost here at home. I saw three different dentists here to get estimates and they all came in high, and because I had many good teeth left, they didnt want to pull them and get all on 4.The offices are super easy to get to, very safe and clean and most of the dentists were educated or trained in the US.Would recommend but I'm sure even their prices have gone up since then.
>>2745805What's your background?
>>2745805Good idea. If I didn't leave the united states for dental work I'd be toothless. Also every foreign dentist, even the worst ones, has done a better job than any work I've had done in the states. Also got my septoplasty done in a foreign land
>>2745805Oh yeah I just read the rest of your post, do NOT go to India. Go to Europe somewhere like Eastern Europe. Are you retarded? Indians are fucking so incompetent it's pathethic
>>2748613>Oh yeah I just read the rest of your post, do NOT go to India. Go to Europe somewhere like Eastern Europe.>Are you retarded? Indians are fucking so incompetent it's pathethicLOL this didn't even need to be stated. I think wealthy indians do dental tourism as well.
Is the Isle of man worth visiting?
>>2740904>Isle of ManMore like Isle of Ham, am I right haha
>>2740904yes
>>2740904Wtf is going on in this picture? Am I supposed to be sitting in a sauna, and is she going to light me on fire? I'm sure some fat slag with shitty tattoos can help me relax, maybe grease me up and beat me with her fat tits. Just a weird way to advertise your country.
>>2740904non "lol fat" answer for you: not really. been there for work a couple of times and there isn't much to do. even the hill in the middle isn't much more than a nice walk. if the visibility is excellent you can see ireland scotland england and wales all at once from the top. that is a very big if. if you like motorsports the TT is meant to be great. usually at least one competitor dies or is turned into a vegetable, and occasionally spectators get killed too another reason to visit is if you like collecting individual islands of the british isles in your travel list. that's about it.
>>2740904>Isle of manhahaha he loves man
I'm flying to malaysia this weekend for 3 weeks.I'm joining my gf in KL and penang, and I'm still thinking about where else to go (open to suggestions if you guys have some)She has weed cookies and joints, how risky is it for me to use some ?I don't want to be Tom Félix 2.0Worst case I was thinking I'll eat just the cookies so that no neighbors will snitch on the smell or something.
>>2748568Thai authorities drug tested a bunch of clubgoers in Pattaya recently and arrested 39 for positive results.American cops are some of the most drug friendly in the world. Mutts don't realize this, they think a patdown, some petty intimidation and a citation is oppression and tyranny. LMAO.
>>2748556WTF they test your urine? Im not druggie but I'm in Thailand and smoked few joints in the past few weeks. On friday I'm going to Malaysia and you got me little woried.
>>2748600it's been in the news a bit recentlyapparently strictly they only have the power to do it if you are already acting suspiciously like you are under the influence. see e.g. https://asklegal.my/p/urine-test-PDRM-drugs-drunk-driving. but malaysian police abuse their powers all the time anyway- usually poor people don't dare to defy themon new years eve a few people died at a concert- it is suspected they had taken ecstasy- see e.g. https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2025/01/02/four-who-died-at-new-year039s-eve-concert-likely-took-drugs-say-copsnow there is a proposal that everyone going to any concert should have to take a pee test but everyone is up in arms about it- see e.g. https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/se-asia/proposal-to-test-urine-of-concert-goers-in-malaysia-faces-backlashthe bigger picture is that this is all part of malaysia's muslims becoming more like the taliban and clamping down on anything fun
>>2748615Damn I'll stay clear of any club/party stuff then, as long as they don't have dogs running around the airbnb apartments looking for edibles i should be fine
>>2748423Either nice bait or you're dangerously retarded. Go, don't touch drugs, at the end break up with your gf.
