Is New Orleans around Christmas / New Years fun?
New Orleans is 0 fun regardless of the time of year
too diverse for my taste
>>2834954not diverse at all, it's like 90% blacks
>>2835523I travel to avoid that kind of people. The idea of purposely traveling to a non-white place seems like the opposite of fun.
>>2835560I don't like darkies much, but idk I like Louisiana as a whole. Drive through frozen drink bars. Cajun food. French American history. Swamps and gators. If I have to drive to Houston from FL for work reasons, I ALWAYS end my day and sleep in Lake Charles. I really can't put my finger on it but I love that state as much as my own shitty swamp state. It's not the prettiest state, but it's got SOVL.
I'm visiting The Netherlands for the second time, looking to explore more of the country outside of Amsterdam. Already got Haarlem, The Hague, Rotterdam, Utrecht, and Delft in mind, but are there any other places worth visiting for a day trip? I'm split between staying in The Hague or Rotterdam, idk which one is more interesting desu.Got 8 nights total!
>>2835534I've been to the Netherlands twice. I live in NYC and I don't see why you would want to visit my city.
>>2833975>>2835052I live nearby in Belgium and Maastricht is a favorite place of mine for day trips. They have tons of tunnels and forts you can tour on a rainy day and that book store in an old cathedral is really cool. Very nice choice of good quality restaurants as well.>>2835534Most English speakers only care about visiting Amsterdam mostly because of the legl weed but that's less common nowadays. Older tourists like it for the fact that it's fairly foreign but everyone speaks immaculate English
>>2835808>EnglishAs an English-speaker, yes, this is why I like to visit The Netherlands. Their English isn't exactly perfect though. Even the Dutch call it dunglish.
Are the Amsterdam Red light district hookers just a tourist traps or should I visit a brothel or private escort instead?
>>2836562Amsterdam Centruum is just a big tourist trap.
Going to Germany next month, but still undecided on wtf I should do. Should I spend a few days in Berlin area, then head down south to Munich area for final days, OR should I focus entirely on Northeastern Germany and just do day trips to all the cities near Berlin? I have 10 days. Also general Germany thread
>>2832749>Would 2 days be enough to visit all the tourist locations in the city?Not close. Berlin is a huge city with a lot to do. I stayed for 4 full days, and while I did a lot, there was also a lot I missed. Maybe if you're focusing on the biggest most mainstream stuff, but there's a ton of hidden gems that are a must see too
>>2827450>It's literally the best city in the world.Sure, if you are faggot.
Any cities/towns worth seeing around Essen? Already planned Dusseldorf and Koln.What about Frankfurt? Heidelberg is already on the list. Should I add Wiesbaden/ Mainz/ Wurzburg or any other? I'll have plenty of time but should be daytrips only. I'll have to sleep in Frankfurt.
>>2836308Stay away from the train station it’s awful when I went genuinely thought i was gonna get mugged it was like walking around downtown dallas at night
Going to Germany in December for 66% tourism and 33% getting laid.Heard stories about the legendary FKK clubs and other brothels anybody have any recommendations they wanna shout out?
I never got to the big apple -- I have some time off and would like to go down for a day or two to visit the museums lie the Met. I'm up in Mass., is there an easy place to park and get some kind of cheap train or metro to move around and get back relatively easy? Ferry?I guess what would be the easiest way to get in and out of the city cheaply ??
>>2836447>>2836119dont drive in manhattan
>>2836119Last time I went to NYC (circa 2018) I looked up parking garages last minute and had no trouble. I've never used them but there are some large park-and-ride lots outside of the city if you want to drive most of the way but take public transit within the city. I have no experience with NYC public transit.Traffic wasn't the greatest but it really wasn't that bad compared to DC/Baltimore or some other places--busy, and stop-and-go during peak hours, but not overly hostile or aggressive. I was driving a manual and rush hour stop-and-go leaving the city was somewhat tedious. If you're not driving a manual transmission vehicle and you're used to city traffic you'll be fine. The main traffic issue I had involved letting my diesel tank get too low and running out while trying to navigate to a gas station that actually sold diesel. I parked illegally (cop said it'd be fine), ran a mile or two, bought an overpriced plastic gas can, filled it with diesel, and ran back. I was on a miserably tight schedule leading up to that otherwise I have a policy of not letting my tank get below 50%, or 13%-25% if I'm doing a lot of open highway driving and know there are lots of fill-up opportunities. Don't be retarded with your fuel management and fill up an emergency can (especially if you're using anything other than normal petrol or are prone to running on empty) and it won't be a problem.
>>2836483>>2836501>>2836504I should clarify: the plan is to arrive in NY, get the rental and drive out towards wherever my route is (tbd). I'll try to avoid the city proper, but if I'm going to/coming in from Boston I may have to put up with at least the outskirts of the city.
>>2836119why would you want to go to hell on earth?there isn't even any real "culture" left to make it worthwhile.https://www.brighteon.com/c9d8a55a-8b63-43f1-a97f-345295d34f17
>>2836561>why would you want to go to hell on earth?>to visit the museums like the MetI share your knee-jerk disdain for NYC but at least read his post before replying.

>>2835414100% a cult, that’s a textbook approach. The only time a Korean will randomly stop to speak to you in the street - in English - is to evangelise (which is usually harmless) or to take you to one of those ceremonies.
>>2835816Is it possible to game and abuse their hospitality for a kino experience?
>>2835825It’s not really hospitable, they’ll perform a ceremony where you’ll get lectured to, sing, bow, burn paper, and then get asked for donations lol
>>2835979How do people unironically get caught up in this? Is it all '''christian''' offshoots? Or are they practising some proper fringe shit?
Be honest with me. What does Korea have to offer a solo traveler that Japan doesn't? Even the language seems more complicated to learn a bit of.
GYATT
>>2832459Best breakfast buffet i ever had was during a 3 days stay in a Hyatt Hotel in Pheonix last year.Unlimited bacon, waffles, fruits, pancakes... I was eating almost nothing midday i was so full in the morning lol
hyatt is a fine hotel corporation
>>2832551ill tell ya hwyatt
I'm a Hilton guy personally.
I live in Portland Oregon. I recently took a trip to a couple countries in Europe and the homeless situation there is vastly different. I saw one or two “camps” but they were clean and neat and the dudes had a bunch of chairs arranged in a circle where they’d just smoke cigarettes and drink. As opposed to here there are screaming fentanyl psychos who carry around piles of trash. I’m asking, what’s the difference? Why do the homeless over there conduct themselves with more grace? Is it the drugs? Do euros lock them up in asylums or something?
I hung out with two different hobos in Prague, really chill people. One of them had worked in the UK for a bit as well as some other countries, he spoke a bunch of languages. He had this mouse pet called Stewart with him, he said he bought him from a pet store to make sure he had no diseases.I met another one, I bought a liter beer at some shop and we drank it on the street, he spoke not the best english but it was ok. When I subtly asked him why he was on the street, he said he had mental problems, got this weird look on his face, I don't know if he was trying to say he was gay or pedo or what. Felt sorry for him.
>>2833233These days, knowing first-hand how cheap it is to sleep in a comfortable bed in certain countries, it's tough to justify choosing a vagabond lifestyle that involves sleeping rough outdoors. So much fucking sitting and waiting around for hour after endless hour, staring into empty space, hoping for something interesting to happen but also hoping that you are left alone in peace. At least in a hotel you can be on your laptop using the WiFi to pass the time. You can shut your door and shut out the world with it.
>>2835157I'm talking from a point of just falling flat on your face homeless, not picking the 'lifestyle'. Even if it 'happens' to you and not a lifestyle choice, you can still make a 'meta' choice. Your average homeless person can be homeless for years and still somehow lack experience in the homeless life that they don't improve beyond sleeping in/on a carboard box
>>2828690It has to do with the extreme wealth that was in that area. It allowed liberal homeless derelicts to live pretty well for a while before it devolved into the times of Noah
In usa the homeless have alot more fear so have different defense mechanisms. They carry around heaps of garbage they declare is useful so they can't be easily evicted, or perhaps even become not homeless. Sometimes to hide drugs and other paraphernalia. They act obtusely crazy, and most of it is acting, because crazy people aren't considered viable victims either by hooligans or the police. Go tell a normal person to clean his environment up, and he or she might feel shame and do so. Tell a American homeless that, and they will explode in anger and act so crazy you feel ashamed for saying anything. They (american homeless)sleep in the open because of fear of being attacked. They absolutely LOVE the police. And the police love them. Without the police American homeless coild not exist. And the police are entitled to exist at least because of the apparent homeless. They know eachither by first name basis. The homeless call the cops constantly. Almost every single American homeless you see is a narcissistic piece of shit and the world woild be better without them. The ones you dont see are probably okay. You only see the homeless that choose to look so homeless you identify them as such. Its not hard to have clean clothes okay hygiene and carry your stuff in a backpack. T. Ive spent years among them and what I am saying is verified by experiance.
Muslims beheaded Canadian mining company consultants in Mindanao who were helping torture and kill indigenous Lumads.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Ridsdel>At the time of the kidnapping, he was retired. Prior to that he had been working for the mining company TVI Resource Development Philippines Inc.,[3] a subsidiary of Canada's TVI Pacific, where he was also a consultant.>Ridsdel was kidnapped by Abu Sayyaf militants in the Philippines on 21 September 2015, in a raid on Holiday Ocean View Samal Resort, on Samal Island in the southern Philippines.[4] After the gunmen disarmed the resort's security guards, they abducted four people from the resort, the Canadians John Ridsdel and Robert Hall, the resort's Norwegian marina manager Kjartan Sekkingstad, and a Filipino woman, Teresita Flor.[5]>The kidnappers later issued demands for a hefty ransom to be paid for the release of the hostages, reportedly 300 million pesos (around $6.5 million) for each of the three foreigners seized. As the deadline lapsed on 25 April 2016, they apparently beheaded Ridsdel.[6] Ridsdel's head was found in a plastic bag in Jolo.[7] A headless body, possibly Ridsdel's, was later found by villagers by a creek bed near Talipao. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police launched an international murder investigation.[8]The company he worked for was involved in torturing and killing indigenous Lumad people (Lumads are not Muslim btw)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TVI_Pacific>In 2015 TVI was mentioned along with several other mining companies as being the likely beneficiary of a series of government-funded murders of the indigenous Lumads who live in the Mindanao region of the Philippines, an area rich in mineral resources to which these companies would like better access.[3]Comment too long.

>>2833368It's quite amusing how the majority of these places are shitholes with no go areas due to war/terrorism , lol.Would rather go to Israel any day of the week. I've no idea why people support the Islamic monolith on a /trv/ board. Diversity is great. I want to see culture, customs, women, different ways of life, not just imamfags telling everybody to zombify themselves.
>>2799910I just buy an antique knife wherever I go
Just don't go anywhere that has a lot of towelheads
>>2799910stop being a stupid yankeethen everything will be fine
Your gift is too great for me
>finally have a good WFH job and financial stability for things like travelling>I'm almost 40it's over
>>2835134> My dick is deformed
>>2824719im not too sure how to respond to this. but I'm 40 now, and I've done the whole travelling thing earlier in my life, so much so that I'm over it. there's barely any place in the world right now that I'm dying to visit. during my time off, I'd rather stay home, chill, watch the cricket and smoke meth.> experience different culturesit's a fucking meme...unless you plan on living there if youre 40 already, there's no way to claw back the type of travelling you would have done in your 20's. I mean, you can still go to places you want to visit, but just dont be staying in a hostel, hoping to party with 22 yr old sluts.
>>2835421samefag herethere's still some reasons I would like to travel though. i would like to visit the pyramids, but would like not to interact with any gypos. but the main reason i still travel is to get business and first class seats. I went to Jakarta earlier this year on business class, and johanesburg on first, i had no reason to go to those places other than the premium seats I was able to get.i don't travel to fuck whores...anymore. I can just fuck whores at home in my comfort zone where i can be the true degenerate i am. I still do fuck whores when travelling though, its just not the reason i travel...anymore. i blew my load inside a whore in jakarta, and in joburg i paid a nigga to stick her tongue in my asshole. i was so scared that she would rob my stuff
What's the cutoff for being slightly too old to party with young sluts? My roommate in Chiang Mai fucked an 18 yr old allegedly and he was like 40 something>t. mid 20s virgin trying to catchup for the past
>>2836486still being a virgin at like 25 is not a big deal broyou're still very youngjust chillax
I want to visit here. Mainly Kazakhstan, but I'd like to eventually see all of them. What do I need to know in order to prepare myself? I'm an American who's only traveled in first world, highly English-speaking western countries before. Are these countries cheap? What are the must see places? Do I need a tour guide? Are the cities as lively as the western world? How strict Muslim are they? Is it possible to pick up chicks here?
>>2831045that looks disgusting
>>2835285here come the seasoning police
>>2835230Impossible to get there though, right? Don't you need some faggot guide to show you around?
>>2835767>>2835767You need to join a "guided tour" to get a letter of invitation to the country but once you are in you are free to go anywhere in Ashgabat without your guide. Also the guided tour can basically be any random one you find on instagram. It doesnt have to be a 20 man boomer group with a guide waving a flag.Very strange country with some very good looking girls and heavy vodka culture.
>>2831051>>2835104If I had an incel phase where I language maxxed and learned a bit of russian, will I have a good time? I know they said dating doesn't work there, but don't they also have a sizable population of slavs and other foreigners?
what is Laos like?
These dust-ridden roads are a lot more treacherous than they look for a motorbikeLast monsoon's ruts are rock hard under a thick layer of fine dust.
>>2835962>I just used 12go it was a bit more expensiveThe issue isn't the cost, it's that the train company only sells tickets 3 days ahead and there's not that many daily trains, so you could get stuck somewhere for an extra day or end up on a bus on Laos shitty roads
>>2836291You disgusting scumbag.
>>2836326>the Lao king supportedit's not like he had a choice. the US was running ($$$) the country in those days

>>2835993Don't you love the HUSTLE and BUSTLE of the big city? The general attitude of indifference to one's surroundings, isn't it so wonderful? That's why I like to travel to the less-visited parts of the country, where life goes on at a slower pace and people are still interested in a new face.
>>2835993>I haven't had a conversation in 13 daysThat's all? You pussy.
>>2826369they are going with you for the novelty of being with a white guy, assuming you are white. they have a social circle and maybe a boyfriend and don't need you as a boyfriend but want some action between the sheets. tldr you are THEIR fwb hookup, not the other way around. very common if you are actually decent looking in asia. they get with you before getting married to their long term bf.
>>2836225>assuming you are whiteAre you screwed if you're not? Across all of SEA too, not just vietnam
