>>2915124>>2915152It's probably a Japan autism thing because you see he same discussion and complaints about japanese language learners vs every other language. Japan just attracts or brings out the autist in people
>>2915165I visit Japan a bit but the people who move there permanently are always so fucking weird, its sperg central, weebs are insufferableThey might be able to hide it for a few minutes but then it all comes out and its just full retard shit
>>2915237consoom dis anime shit and toys niqqa
>>2915058For autists, planning and researching is part of the adventure. They love it. And obviously Japan is mecca for autists
>>2915237>>2915290Pretty much. OP wanted recommendation for CLAMP stuff, and that's exactly what >>2915232is
American who WILL be traveling a lot for work. I need recommendations on what kinds of credit cards are food and benificial to me, what kinds of terms and conditions are generally considered kind and those to look out for. Thanks in advance
>>2915506laundry once every 4 days is worth it in exchange for carrying less stuff
>>2915516What about other climates you go to throughout the year?5 pairs of clothes is fine and doable if you're only SEA living but that shit's fucking dumb.
>>2915233>>2915234Your right, you got me. I'm South Asian who naturalizatied to become American Citizen.
>>2915369>I've made 5 figures from this over the past decade.Is that a flex? Many credit cards give you a thousand cash back if you spend like $5k in three months. That's nothing. If you made $100k in a decade from playing that game it would be impressive, but 5 figures is child's play.
>>2915305lol you live in your car and even that belongs to Schlomo Schekelstein for 50 more years.
Coming from eastern Europe it seemed pretty unremarkable.Nothing stood out for me as unique or interesting unlike other EU cities I've been to like Rome, Paris, Lisbon, etc. All in all, felt like slightly more advanced commie city.
I go to have sex with me gf because she lives there. It is a depressing shithole but my gf is very nice to me. It's fucking dirty with graffiti everywhere. It would be a fucked up place to raise a family, with junkies yelling while you try to take your kid to school. But it has some very cool museums and the river near museum island is very quaint when the weather is nice. Berlin in Spring is kind of magical desu
>>2913181Yeah I felt the same way. It is supposedly a good city for partying though, but I’m not particularly social so it was just mid.
>>2913346that all sounds terrible
>>2913338Klingt so als wärst du ein absoluter Versager You can do anything any time in Berlin, don't know what else you want. And no it's not just degeneracy, sounds like a skill issue of low lifes and coomers
>>2915512>"You can do anything at any time!">Suggests nothingWow you proved me wrong.Plus I doubt you're even German. Everything outside of restaurants, clubs, and bars are closed on Sundays.
There exists programs called Birthright Israel, which give ethnic Jews worldwide a free 10-day trip to Israel to connect with Judaism. I'm not Jewish religiously (Catholic) but my mom's mom is Jewish so I qualify for a free trip.Should I do it just for the free vacation? The cutoff is 27 and I'm 25 right now, so I'd have to do it in the next year-and-a-half and I'm not exactly sure how safe it will be in that period. Btw for my background I've never been outside the US and Canada and only speak English, so I'm definitely not experienced when it comes to international travel.
>>2912849From what I've heard it's essentially a breeding program, they need fresh bodies to bolster their (non-hasidic) birthrate so they try and lure american jews to israel. Supposedly they make you mingle with young israelis, but I wouldn't know
>>2914526but the hasids RUN it, its just the modern hasids who serve in the military who run it there's apparently factionsI get the sense that like wealthy more secular jews fund it but ultra-orthodox jews actually run the day-to-day operations and arabs do the driving of the buses
>>2913391This board is mostly jews and indians now. As are """"white""" countries in real life because jews killed off the white race. The only consolation is thst youre going to die out with us and it brings me immense joy
>>2912849My biggest regret is not doing it. My friends did it and loved it. Literally the only downside is that Israel is at war right now but that just means watch your surroundings.

Thinking of making a trip to the Faroe Islands around the very end of April. Has anyone been there around that time of the year? Is this a bad time to go?Should I try for a different time of the year?
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

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?

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.
The hills are calling to me
>>2914844How about indigenousw peoples adovcacy movements like the drive of us jews returning to our amcestrial homeland in judea and sameria?
>>2914603Yee haw that looks like Texas, but with angry butthurt hooknoses everywhere instead of Texicans. >>2914603>steal something from somebody>accuse them of robbery when they try to take it backGyppo tier scammy behavior
>>2915146read the book of Joshua you dumbfuck, you rootless unwanted people invaded and genocided the native inhabitants of Canaan because skydaddy said so. glad to see that Thailand is cracking down on your neocolonialist takeovers of their territory, raiding your shitty chabad house and signing deportation orders on your asses. 110 countries...
>>2914509This photo is grim. It looks like the landscape when you come out of the bunker in fallout 4.

I'm behind the camera literally crying. Only Singapore could make this. Only in Singapore can you see such beauty. I came to Singapore via bus and was leaving via airport. It was one last "Singapore is legendary" moment.
>>2912600Forgot to mention I'm South Asian btw. Not sure if that matters.
>>2912631Are you also trans, saar, I mean maaam?
>>2912600Trees AND water? In one place? Incredible.Singapore-sama… you truly are the most interesting place on earth. I kneel…
