i will be working for the next year or so in ViennaVienna is kind of a shithole so i was thinking about getting myself their version of the D-Ticket and just travelling around the country every weekend or soWhere should i go? Carinthia looks pretty, also Tyrol and the alpsgive me some autumn sleepy town recommendations
I've been solo travelling since last year, I did Germany and Prague.Earlier year I did Japan and a little bit of Melbourne.I bought tickets to Vienna for 2wks in November. I'm thinking of doing 5 days in Vienna, 4 in Budapest but I'm not sure what to do with the remaining 4 days.any suggestions?
>>2909128slovenia or friuli would be the reddit advice i wanna try some of the less touristy austrian towns (which was my idea when making this thread) and maybe the slovakian on the next step but this board isnt helpful or has any good advice on this region
>>2908952They treat South Asians poorly there. I never felt so unwelcome there than in any other place in America.
>>2908749I would suggest you go to carinthia. The Wörthersee and surroundings are very beautiful. I personally would rent a car. Because you can go from carinthia to Italy and slovenia pretty easily. There are beautiful spots as well. Just be careful when they are holidays, roads are clogged.
>>2909405>less touristy austrian towns You can try the industrial and mining towns in Styria. One possible route would be Leoben (small mining university town) to Eisenerz (largest open pit iron ore mining op in central Europe) to the Gesäuse national park. Plenty of good mountain hikes in the area. Can recommend Leopoldsteiner See, which is chilly but idyllic.
About 13 years ago I took a short flight to Pisa (I think from Rome or Milan maybe, not sure) and some of the seats on the plane were arranged as picrel.Anyone knows what plane it could be? I cannot find it, I just remember it was a small one, the luggage was stored inside in a separate area and the pilot helped us put it there
We call those trains jeet. You have some in India but they are left over from when the UK ran the country 80 years ago
>>2912771that's just for the seat layout, couldn't figure out how you call this 2+2 opposite seats configuration in english, it was also the only time I saw it on a plane
>>2912841I took a train in Georgia, first class ticket, sat down and realized id be looking directly at a jeet for 2 hours, said nope. Fortunately they had a higher level first class on a second level of the train had to pay extra to sit with some cute foids
Was it a turboprob OP?Most likely an ATR-42. Fits the description>small>separate cargo area>opposite pair seating in row oneMost likely operated by Alitalia Express
Is this accurate? Its saying toyoko is better than APA. I cant stand toyoko the breakfast sucks and it feels like you are an unwanted guest. Only had good experience with APA they even opened the breakfast buffet 4 minutes early one day.
>>2912603He probably stayed in one of those APA's where the added on breakfast is like a bready sandwhich and not the buffets some have.
>>2912604>>2912603ESL jeets, he said Toyoko breakfast

>>2912176I stayed at a capsule hotel in Tokyo once. The massage parlor was Chinese and I could speak Chinese so they had fun playing with me. She kept asking to massage my legs in a backroom. I agreed and what happened next I'll leave to imagination.I finally went to the bed around 2:00AM. My buddy checked out the video rental selection and bought me and himself a porn video lol. It was some strange schoolgirl one where they were under an overpass and she kept shaking her head no. Hot AF. I must've finished on that mat 35+ times until 6:00. I didn't sleep that night. Woke up and went to the spa again then had breakfast. It was all based on an armband thing so I didn't realise how much I had spent. Once they gave me the bill I said I forgot my wallet outside in my bags. I just left and ran away.
How is Paraguay as a travel destination for Americans? I am also thinking of relocating there. Is it all it's cracked up to be or is it actually a shithole?
>>2912321>easy citizenshipThat gets revoked after 3 years of not living there.
>>2912464I never heard of such a thing and didn't believe you. Looked it up and you're right. I've heard of permanent residence being revoked when outside the country too long, but citizenship is insane to me.
>>2912464>>2912486how does that work if you renounce your other citizenship?
>>2912532Would you risk finding out?
>>2912280American here; I've also considered this place and have done extensive research here. What I've gathered:> Mississippi tier weather> Ciudad del Este on the other side of Iguaçu Falls is where Brazilians go for duty-free shopping> It's also an operation base for cartels and terror cells and nobody ever talks about it> They speak something called Jopará which is a mixed language of Guarani (indigenous language) and Spanish. > They pronounce their 'r' like Americans > People carry around these cups with a big straw; it's called tereré, which is basically yerba mate but with ice.

Have you ever made any legit friends while travelling?
>>2906942>Just say you’re poor and shallowEvery accusation is a confession
>>2905737No
>>2905737I became friends with an LB last week, he's cool but he just want to S my D 24/7. Also one of my tower guards is cool AF, pretty sure she likes me, I hate bringing girls in when she's working, I'd do her too but I wouldn't want her to get in trouble.
I like the Hungarians.
>>2905737>Have you ever made any legit friends while travelling?only within my own countrynot sure what the threshold to friendship / legit friends isbut with most people I met and keep contact I wouldn't consider them "friends"the contact usually is relatively sparse and while I enjoy spending time with them or talking to them it's not like there's a strong bondif you can't meet irl a few times per yearI wouldn't consider it a strong friendship
Going to Amsterdam tomorrow, what are some good places where i could find fellow autists?

>>2910052this. just going fishing in a canal. you find one for free. give it a quick wipe and you are set to go.
>>2905106you need to find the grasshopper
>>2905106You can try to to go to Melkweg and paradiso. The clubs have great sound but are expensive as fuck
Are they worth visiting?
And what about Azerbaijan. Featureless wasteland with nothing to see or do or worth visiting?
>>2908350>what about AzerbaijanI liked it more than Armenia, Baku is by far the richest of the three capitals so it feels pretty different, also has some central asian influence you won't really see in the others
>>2907359>Women are a hot
>>2907359>Women are a hotIf you like swarthy women, then maybe. None of them are going to hook up with you, though.
>>2907512Where the fuck does this meme come from? I went to Georgia and there wasn't anything special about the food. Oh wow they use cheese and garlic, so magical.The wine isn't anything special either. It's either way too sweet or just tastes bad. Holds no candle to Italian or French wine.
It's just big and boring. Malacca and Penang are cooler in Malaysia. It's like Singapore but dirtier and less fun shit to do. It's just so fucking meh. No big city in continental SEA is as bland. I mean it doesn't suck it's just boring.
>>2912007>Blandest City in SEA?>I mean it doesn't suck it's just boring.it's the same with almost all newly grown big cities in middle income countriesthey don't suck per sebut usually not worth visiting other than a 1-2night stop on your travels to more interesting places in the country (which they usually have plenty of, just not the big city)
The only things I ever see about KL is the two towers and coom posts of girls ass in bikini on a roof top pool

Jakarta is pretty boring too unless ykyk
I have two weeks of PTO to use for the end of the year and decided I'm going to pull the trigger and do some traveling. I'm in the US but am down to do something wild, or to just stay here and hop around a bit. What are some good recommendations, both in the US and abroad for a week here and a week there, or a two-week trip altogether? I like getting drunk at bars and hopefully banging some chicks along the way.
Nashville
>>2909598Is Trashville a meme music city, or do white girls actually pack the bars to get drunk and scream at their favorite country stars?
>>2909615Downtown Nashville isn't worth it to go alone, it's massive in a weird way and feels like you're going to a worse times square. All the bars have lineups and it all feels artificial.skip nashville unless you're doing a lad's trip, check out New orleans instead
>>2909579i havent been in nearly 20 years but I really miss the museums in DC. I wish I had gone to the now-closed spy museum when I was there last in 2007. DC is a sleeper travel destination but it can be expensive. im planning a tour of Southern synagogues starting in Charleston and ending in New Orleans, visiting every hotbed of slavery along the way including Natchez and viewing the rich old synagogues that were build by jewish slave traders during that time period.
>>2909579Obvious, but a lot depends on your finances and previous experience. A rather straightforward option for an American, assuming that the cost of transatlantic flights aren't prohibitive for you, is London. Yeah, it's expensive to stay, eat, drink etc... but it is the top tier English language city in the world. New York is just as expensive but also trasher than London. It's also much easier to see anything you're interested in all of Britain from London than it is to see Cleveland from New York. Go to York, birthplace of Constantine the Great. Eat a sandwich while walking Hadrian's wall. Take the ferry from Dver to Calais and see how Europe can also fail at accessible public transport. Some of the accents will be hard to follow but you can always just let people know that you're a Yank (from MS if need be) and they'll turn on their American accent learned from global media.BTW, if some gal challenges you re: the 2A she probably wants to be bedded.
it's simply obviously better in Europe in every way.Enjoy your sixth monster truck in your comically big driveway, who cares?
>>2897178>>2897184If you pay property taxes to the government you don’t own any property anywhere you are worldwide
>>2911943You sound retarded
>>2897030NYC is filled with nons
>>2911943Wait until you find out how iffy property laws are in other countries, especially for foreigners. Property tax guarantees your ownership under one of the world's most robust systems of property rights.
>>2897022I think this phenomenon is more about geography than anything else. There are clearly places in America like this but they are more spaced out and so in fewer number.
I have two weeks of annual leave coming up starting next week, but nowhere planned. I keep trying to hype myself to go somewhere, but as a 35 solo traveller it feels pointless.Any advice guys?Earlier this year I hiked the Rota Vincentina in Portugal, and it was a positive experience overall, but I don't know if I can get myself motivated to spend another 10 days walking alone and camping etc. I've considered Japan (expensive flights, monsoon season), PNW (expensive costs & hotels), New England (expensive hotels) and the GR34 hiking route in France (only campsites).
>>2908240>acquire gf >two weeks later realize how insufferable she is and you could have had an awesome holiday instead
>>2908227if you are tired from work: relaxing resortif not: choose 3 european cities to visit, book hostels there, and speak to locals, travellers at hostel, etc. you've already tried travelling alone, and you'll find the more social trips end up being more memorable. what is your job btw OP?
>>2912382Loners cant just go to hostels and magically become socially outgoing. The key is to embrace what you are
>>2912431>The key is to embrace what you areCompletely retarded?
>>2912437No, a normal person comfortable in his own skin and thoughts who doesn't have to surround themselves 24/7 with babbling retards like you who are boring as fuck
People who travel just to go to restaurants and bars are genuinely subhuman to me. Utterly boring and soulless people. You fly across the world to some new and exotic place and instead of exploring you sit inside to shove your face full of some bullshit you can get in Chicago, and pay twice as much for the privilege? You go sit in some dingy bar full of browns and get drunk as if you can't do that shit every other miserable night of your life in whatever shithole flyover you come from?At least cruise ship boomers will go sightseeing or snorkeling or some shit. Takes an deeply hollow person to spend a week in a foreign land and waste it all sitting in a booth.
>>2912350Are you retarded, half of the suburb is empty, no one in Japan is getting priced out of housing anywhere>>2912354nah I just paid them to come over, but also stole some panties as I wanted to integrate
>>2912358I should have gone to the panty vending machine but it was too far and they aren't as smelly

Saw this article and now I don’t where I can relay on to get useful info on eating out when I move to Manchester next week?
>LabourWho are you trying to fool? The gammons who voted for Brexit don't vote for Labour.
I've never been to Manchester and have no real desire to go, but I am curious about who Matty White is and what the controversy surrounding him consists of.
>>2912435he's a food revieweri don't know much about him other than he embodies the annoying northern hipster "we do things differently here" typeit's fairly well known that a lot of food review social media accounts make restaurants pay for positive reviews and i guess the article takes issue with thatsomeone i know opened a small pizza place in manchester and one of the manchester food review instagram pages wanted £3k for a review
>>2912439Sounds like a prick. But it does give me an idea.Make an Instagram food review page and throw a few reviews on it. Pay a Mumbai click farm to run the view count into the millions. Charge restaurants half of the going rate, making bank for myself and driving others into lower tax brackets. Profit.

Do you prefer to travel alone, with a gf, or with your gf and another couple?Personally, can't stand traveling with another couple. Usually we can't stand each other by the end of the trip.
>>2906001There’s literally nothing wrong with traveling alone and not being influenced by others on the way. Of course the npc brains here won’t get it.
>>2906001>can't even into trips>still no gfgrim as fuck OP
>>2906972>I just dont understand how youre meant to date in CanadaPlug your nose and bag a retail jeet
>>2909196I took next week off just to use my yearly PTO and don't really have a plan. I'm near some really nice natural beauty and think I'm just going to do a 1-2 day trip, mostly to visit a shrine that I visited as a kid and that my mother prayed for my grandfather at. Not really religious but raised Catholic and broaching 30 and starting to have different thoughts on life as a whole and gramps was my role model as a kid.Of course the whole reason why I'm posting in his thread about it is that I'm going alone. Boomer coworkers kind of give me the side-eye for going alone and because I'm not bringing a 300-lb whale I got from plentyofish to a shitty country concert but fuck 'em. Maybe if I make the real reason I want to go into a sob story it'll at least get them to keep the comments to themselves.
>>2906001alone. women over plan and ruin everything. the only thing they are good for is a booty call. i'd honestly rather travel with another man than a woman.
I like to sleep in my own bed, anytime I don't it feels like every hour of sleep is worth half. Any protips? I'm in my 30s now
>>2912192I love Singapore airport and have spent probably 100 hours there at this point, maybe travel somewhere better than CDG.
Yeah this is why im glad i traveleld in early 20s. It stops being fun at 25 or so
>>2912114>airbnbsand the beds there will be shittyOP asked for tips on how to sleep betterand good, expensive hotels always have very comfy beds thatsome chains even consistently the same mattress, duvet and pillows worldwideso this is valid strategy if you have the moneyyou don't have to spend that much (especially in Asia)but at that point you will virtually never be disappointed and don't need to research beforeand I mentioned Four Seasons because they have guests that go there literally for the bedlike my own parentswho refuse to sleep / travel anywhere else and even have the same mattress at home
>>2911665almost this >>2911691Just get a prescription for 3 xanax + 1 seroplex a day + maybe some adderallThen get fucked on alcohol, but obvioulsy you can't get drunk for 14 days straight (or whatever your travel is) without some big downsides.Then you can enjoy your travel 100%.
>>2912220>and the beds there will be shittyit is 100% a crapshoot sometimes they are good, sometimes they are not so good, I suppose you could be anal and ask about the mattress before booking, and I did see some properties advertising latex mattresses (the best kind)you don't need to give some giant shitty brand your money to get a good bed though, you just have to ask what kind of mattress it is
