This June, the lads and I are planning a trip to the Lychee and Dog Meat Festival (玉林荔枝狗肉节) in Yulin, China. Has anyone been before? What kind of dog meat dishes can we expect to find there? Any info is appreciated.
>>2915425These libtards pretend to care about insects as they inflict massive suffering on humanity and hate their own family. Scum
>>2913911So what exactly is the justification then, that lobsters SHOULD be boiled alive? What is the drawback of killing them before boiling?
>>2915438>What is the drawback of killing them before boiling?You freaks really get off on killing animals eh?
>>2915467This, I boil my lobsters to keep them alive
>>2915482What the difference between killing them before you cook or during?
Does anyone love airplanes? It's the best part of travel.
>>2915114>D&CThese accusations only happen when europeans are made fun of
Flying is an enjoyable experience when not flying poorliners or staying in economy.Premium economy is enough for the travel to be comfy and hasslefree.
>>2914820I love when they take off, it feels like a really intense high when you're changing G's like that while looking at the world around you get smaller and smaller
>>2914820I do
>>2915267i slept through my last takeoffdo i get an achievement for this?
So where are the comfiest autumn places to visit?
>>2915050I was in New England and the color is better - you need cold weather to get good color and it just has not been cold enough in the South the last few years + its been dryer which ruins color too (though New England has been dry too)but the color is still nice, and new england is more expensive/crowded

>>2915316>lets go look at recreations of homes where gays would have been murdered for existing because of delusional magic-believing bigots who founded this countrywheeeeeerather be in the mountains looking at hills
>>2915370I think gays not existing is a good thing for society. And mountains and hills are owned by Conservative White American Christians.
>>2914974Lake Minnetonka area of Minnesota is incredible, especially Excelsior
Good news less tourists in Japan.Bad news it's not the ghetto americans who stopped coming, but the Chinese.https://japantoday.com/category/national/update1-foreign-visitors-to-japan-in-august-fall-9.6-to-3.10-million
>>2914324In the U.S., the subway is too dangerous, so the middle class avoids using it, right?
>>2913789I remember in Shanghai airport all excited and multiple guys were hocking up and spitting on the escalators like its the designated spitting place, everything else about the airport is nice and I really enjoyed the country, but these guys really ruin the experience, spit outside is it that hardthink the Chinese government is running education campaigns to stop tourists acting so bad overseas now because it projects a bad image
When I went to Japan last year, I couldn’t tell Asian languages apart, but in Kyoto and Osaka, I was able to immediately spot the Chinese people who speak in that distinctive, loud voice.
>>2915307Japanese and Korean sound very similar
japan has to be culturally enriched
Does anyone here do Tick box travelling? I want to know how it goes but I don't know anyone who does it. I could never travel in that style and wondering how you even make it enjoyable
>>2915454Right, so you don't travel that frequently but would like to, and just felt the need to defend people you aspire to be like. Glad we cleared that up, we can end the debate now
Can win with logic so report to the good old classic 4chan ad hominem. But messed that up choosing one that can be beaten with proof. Sad sad boys
>>2915463What’s your number then? 195 countries total? How many have you been to?
>>2915469I don't even count them, (it must be quite a lot though) it's not a competition. If I felt like it id go to the same country every year for a few years running if it captures me that much, one of my trips this year was actual a repeat for the first time so I missed out on a precious cross on the tally, oh noo I'm down one, I better travel to an extra country next year to recuperate. Way less that 195 though, not even close. Is this your second attempt at a got ya, since is rekt ya? You're not doing a good job haha. What are you doing at this very moment? Be honest like Ive bee. I bet you wish you were me
>>2915472Not really. You sound annoying. How can you not even know how many countries you’ve been to? This year, so far the I’ve only been to 2: America and French Polynesia
Is Rouen worth visiting for both sights and the local cuisine?Me and a group of ~5 are planning a visit to France next year (perhaps early 2027 for off season prices) and Paris is obviously a big one and where we'll be flying into from the US and visiting, but I was wondering if Normandy's capital was worth going out for views, history, and food.Also, would Le Havre also be worth adding? Maybe more seafood focused, but I don't know if it has as many historical sights, though being on the coast might make it worth the contrast to larger/denser cities.Our trip is planned to be Paris-focused at this stage, but I was wondering if Rouen's relative closeness would make it a worthwhile excursion.
>>2915407>Is that the right wing theme park the NYT was complaining about recently? AlI haven't seen the article but i guess it was about Puy Du Fouhttps://www.puydufou.com/france/en/must-see-franceIt was backed by a right wing politician anf unfortunately for globohomos, it's very successsful.Puy du Fou is an actual theme park, it's twice the size of Disneyland Paris, but with mostly shows, no real rides i think.It's pretty much shadow banned internationally because it promotes european/white culture and heritage.
>>2915416It even has a Colosseum. But the park mostly open in summer.At one point (around 2015) Putin asked to import the concept in Russia.
>>2915417I emphasize that there's no rides tho, so don't be disappointed if you go there.
>>2912830the French are so fucking spoiled in terms of great towns they consider Rouen not worth visiting loli was there and had a great time, even if its not the most impressive french city out there
>>2915432Other than the fact that Rouen is 50% African and all the schools are shut as they burn down the city its great
Was thinking of going to Poland next summer for 2 weeks to retvrn to my roots. I need itinerary ideas. I've already been to Krakow and Gdansk, but I need at least 2 days in Gdansk because I feel obligated to visit family there. Other than that, what are the best places to visit + routes to take? I'm particularly interested in Warsaw and Wrocław but open to anywhere else including day trips. I'm fluent in the language btw. Main goals are just to experience cool things and maybe, just maybe, find a wife.Also general Poland thread
>>2913625no its just vibes. theres no hard rules. its discretion based.
>>2913588Thanks. Well fuck.>>2913686>Urkraine might not be too keen on you showing up with a big boner and no departure plans. You'll probably get v&I'll just show them my fake departure ticket. If they complain about my suitcase full of Viagra then I'll throw a hundo at the Customs official.
>>2913573>Can I bring beef jerky through Customs or will Poland make me throw it all out?Still looking for an answer to this.
>>2915379Leave your monkey meat in Africa jeet
>>2913806>trying to deceive and/or bribe the authorities of a country at warIsn't alcohol illegal throughout Ukraine under martial law? How can you even claim you want to party and have a good time? It won't be believable. No record of a departure flight in the database will red-flag your story. New passport? You're basically a Russian spy at that point.>>2915379Polish customs didn't seem to care about the contents of my bags.

I don't really care about history at all. I don't care about people, places, names, events, I just like seeing the tools and buildings they made. History is just propaganda designed to enforce a modern status quo with a selective interpretation of the past.
>>2915367Then why are you in this thread if you don't care about history tourism? You sound low IQ. You want to see what people made without understanding the why.
>>2915367Gayest faggot award
Making this thread so y'all can talk about your favorite travel experiences and recs.So far, I've been to Mexico, Chile, France, Japan, Korea and China, and I'm thinking of going back to Europe later on in this year. Places I'm interested in:>Portugal>Spain>Italy>Greece>Brazil>Sweden>EnglandAny thoughts? My budget is about 6k, and I speak english, spanish and french. My interests are food, culture, sightseeing, art and women. Thanks.
>>2911070>>2910999one day you will grow up manchild
>>2911055Why not check on google maps first? It's usually recently up to date if a place has shut down.
>>2915394He said be careful dumbass
>>2910723I would do all these countries during winter months. The sights and culture are just as good(if not more cozy) when it's chilly with light rain. Bologna is one of the first cities that came to mind from your list of interests and from there, the greatest hits of Italy are all a short distance away.
>>2910723Those are such vague requirements that can apply to any country.>foodWhat kind? Do you prefer "bit of everything" tapas? Literally eating mama's pasta in an open house? Beer halls?

I really liked the Philippines. Stayed away from Manilla, too crowded and expensive.Everyone spoke enough English it was effortless to do pretty much anything.Infinity matches on bumble, snagged a few good ones (only say yes to 'New Here' profiles).The people who speak better English are richer and have better upbringings, the people I still talk to from there have an outsourced US job, the other two were a lawyer's daughter, and a lawyerIf I went back I'd try more rural provincial areas but would expect worse English so there are trade-offs.Would rather go to Vietnam for a different experience next. Have been to Japan before, liked the Philippines more, the English thing really is a big deal. I'm not learning Japanese for 6 months to experience the benefits at this life stage.
>>2909993Depends on what you want. Singapore is boring imo but can be for you if you want your 1st world infrastructure.Philippines is chaotic as fuckVietnam is beautiful Thailand has good islands which are cheap and have a lot of history
>>2913118I've been riding a motorbike during a heatwave there, think it was hitting 37 degreesnormally going faster cools you down but going faster in that shit heats you up quick >>2914687>eight incheswhy do I get the feeling this is exaggerated
Imagine just having eight inches and just slowly going full depth on a ladyboy in missionary while she starts groaning and you just hold her hand and smell her neck.
>>2915441I'm Indian and my partner is an Appalachian femboy and I love making her groan and moan as she handles my Bharati BBC.
Heading there 11-21 January with my wife, our 2yr old, and our 4yr old. Any recommendations on things to do or things to avoid, where to stay, and how long to stay there? We'll be renting a SUV and bringing car seats. I speak enough Spanish to get around. We'll probably stay in a hotel in San Salvador for 2 nights and Air BnBs the rest of the time, then a hotel near the airport the night before our flight. My 4yr old likes animals (any kind) and my 2yr old likes dinosaurs and heavy machinery. Should we bother with a stroller at all? Or just backpack child carriers? It'd be nice to have somewhere for them to sleep during mealtimes and such but they can sort of do that in the rigid frame hiking carriers we have.
>Shark attack survivorYou mean victim?
>>2911757Really? I would have guessed Romanian. You definitely don't smell like curried cowshit.
Anyone know how healthcare is in El Salvador? I just saw a comment in an article where Bukele is claiming to have revamped healthcare there so it's the "best in the world". Do they have medical tourism set up so that patients can fly in, speak with a physician IN ENGLISH, and get treated?
>>2913818Im a trans Indian BTW if that matters and my h1b visa renewal got denied, currently in Appalachia
>>2915403As a white incel i can assure you they treat sexuel deviants appropriately in el salvador
I'm seriously considering a Spring Break trip to one of the smaller, less popular, cheaper islands here for a comfy getaway, likely with a girl. From what I can tell, Grenada gets the best value because it's the most well-rounded and isn't popular with Boomers or richfags (it's mostly known in the U.S as a 1980s Cold War battlefield), but I've also heard great things about Dominica and St. Vincent for their nature.If anyone here has been to this area and could give me some advice, that would be much appreciated.
>>2915108Singapore is your best for an island.
>>2915109that is not in the Lesser Antilles
Why doesn't America have cheap hostels? Is this an untapped billion dollar market? Or is there some reason, like regulations or whatever the US doesn't have them?
>>2906563There are more anti-social scumbags per capita in the US than in any other country on Earth.
>>2915335Nah real Americans are the most social people in the world, the Civil rights act of 1964 prevents applying the law to people of colored
>>2906574We have the same situation in Melbourne with high rents and people seeking anywhere cheap but hostels keep them out with stay limits.No one here is going to move their shit into a hostel for 4 weeks cheap rent if they need to move again after.
>>2915409Anyone who would stay in a hostel for more than a week is sketchy
>>2915411I get doing a couple of weeks in a huge city if you want to see a lot of it but other than that I agree.
I am thinking about heading into Tabriz from Yerevan and from there spending 3-4 weeks in Iran next month, as it is the only country in the region I haven't been to.I'm a non-tour required passport holder, so I will get my visa in Tbilisi or Yerevan.Any trip reports from recent very welcome. Keen to hear about prices, currency exchange, movement, any current area restrictions etc.No larpers, fags, etc.
Iranian here. Don't visit. The current regime will look at tourists like you as a possible hostage to arrest on some spying charges so they can negotiate with your country later and gain something in exchange for releasing you.
>>2912259Found the pro shah/pro MEK diaspora
>>2915228Wow you read his post and deciphered that hes Iranian. Fascinating
>>2915238Actually thats not what I deciphered, can you read?
>>2915376How many goy points do you want for detectiving that hes Iranian when he already said hes Iranian?
Is Moscow really as great of a city as Russians claim it is? Better than any European city? I am talking purely travel, no politics please.
>>2913613>Over 750 russians were beheaded and injured in moscow by muslims? Pshh, that was TWO YEARS AGO. Ancient history, bro. Whattabout this jogger that chimped out on someone last week in the West?!Yeah, they chimp out in russia regularly too, buddy. Just because it doesn't get spammed on xitter and nu/pol/ doesn't mean it isn't a common occurrence. Nice attempt at deflection though.
>>2913585That is not a photo.
>>2913691That is not my dog.
>>2913623>the west isn't a shithole because there was a drunk driver in Moscow 4 years ago.These shills are getting desperate to cover up the collapse of western Europe
>>2915402>there was a drunk driver in Moscow>"a"I always assumed that driving drunk was the norm in russia. >the collapse of Western Europerussia can't even keep the major airports open in its capital city because of all the Ukrainian drones blowing your infrastructure up. Worry about yourself, buddy
