>>2879223What are you talking about, brokie?
>>2879121So you just replace the fruits and veggies with meat in your diet? Or are you still buying stuff like asparagus, avocado, blueberries, etc. while also eating ground beef every day.>>2879207Doesn't Tokyo have cuckboxes, i.e. capsule hotels for poor tourists who never get laid to stay in?
delta has started charging $60 to use overhead bins
>>2879246for fruits and vegetables just eat whatever is in season bro
I feel like the "Kingdom of Wonder" doesn't get talked about much here, why? Cheap visas, quieter than its neighbors, most lax country for TEFLfags, people seem friendly enough. I know there's sexpats and third-world bullshit of course, but that's almost everywhere in SEA. What's the catch?
>>2878990>>2879213
>>2879213Meme stat because people consume at different ratesNo one cares about an outlier meme country like Botswana, might as well use North Korea or something as evidence for your claim
>>2879213No, Botswana at 0.73 has a much higher HDI than Cambodia at 0.60. HDI is calculated based on the social services and infrastructure available to the overall population.
>>2879213>why nations such as Botswanayou picked the worst possible exampleBotswana is actually doing pretty well as far as income, consumption and living standards goeven nominal GDP is actually a pretty good indicator therewealth inequality on the other hand though...alongside with the dying africa threads here all the timereally shows how little people here actually travel outside US, Europe and SEA
youtube found out my mom is moving into senior housing so its pumping me full of "live in thailand for $500 a month!" and its working
Anybody here have any experience with living in their car while traveling? I'm going to be traveling across the country in a few months and I'm trying to make a good setup for the back of my Rav4 but I keep seeing what seems like ads for these foldable bedframe/storage things.Is there something I'm missing with these? It seems impractical in the sense that you lose what little headroom you already have if you want to sit up and the storage requires you to get out and go all the way to the back of the vehicle and open the door to access it.Is there any reason I should consider getting one of these instead of just getting a single trifold mattress and having storage on the side of it?Any other tips would be appreciated as well as this is my first time making a trip like this

>>2877859You failed to mention how your little humdrum wagecage life supposedly mogs the dynamic lifestyle of the world traveler, who never knows what tomorrow will bring.>oooh I bought this cool collectible on Amazon! >Becky smiled at me when I was paying for my lotto tickets, maybe she likes me?Your life is so small, it's laughable. But some people were meant to live a small life. Their brains have a melty when faced with the endless complexity and challenges of a diverse and dynamic world full of strangers.
The first world is boring. The third world turns every little action into a quest.
>>2877859Living in a city is a hell. It's the equivelant of living in a factory farm for cattle. It is not natural and it is not even remotely humane but its all most of the people there have ever known

I carry nothing when I travel. I wander the world buttass naked.

>>2878164How else can socially awkward tech wagies carry around their laptop and headphones?
>>2878164Many people can't afford their own place anymore. And they don't trust their roommates, the house cleaner or even the landlord. So that means every time they go out, they carry a small backpack with their valuables inside. You'll notice the guys who bring their pack everywhere never place it up on the luggage rack in the train/bus. They always place them on the adjacent seat, always within arm's reach. Even on the sleeper train, they wrap their foot around the backpack strap so it can't be stolen when they are snoozing.
Can't believe there isn't a general about Nam already, even though everyone and their mother is going there.I myself did Saigon, Da Nang, Hoi An, Hanoi, and the Ha Giang Loop earlier this year. Can highly recommend all of it.

20-something decent looking nerdy American guy on a dry spell who'll be in NYC for a couple months this summer for work. Any recommendations for places to eat/drink/see and be seen? Is the gender ratio really as fucked for girls/easy for guys as they say?I might get a long-term posting in the city from this stint, so really want to see if it's all cracked up how it's supposed to be.
>>2876527This is my hinge after getting back from NYC on Sunday. Literally couldn’t get through all the matches and likes. It’s absolutely EZ mode as a guy and I make a modest Midwestern salary. I’m also 6’4 though so keep that in mind

>>2877491Where?
Yes, it’s good here. You just need to have a bit of money to spare…Feel free to ask native anything.
>>2878084Numbers are utterly meaningless. There's a reason why people wish they could move to places like Spain even if its worse off in every metric than Norway.
>>2878771That’s because it’s warm most of the time, not because of economic factors.Norwegians who live there still mainly rely on income from the superior conditions at home.This logic is so stupid when you think of it. Do you think Thailand is an overall superior country to any Western country?
>>2878794>Do you think Thailand is an overall superior country to any Western country?yes if you want to think about anything besides the economy
>>2878827Christ you’re retarded
>>2875931i loved norway, i accidently came on mai 17th (didnt know it was a day) when i was in bergan and i was much fun. i just hiked the mountain and hung around churches, my only socialization was people saying random norweigan to me, as im a recluse and dont like social drugs.i went to sleep in the woods after but didnt get comfy so i wandered to the train station but got tired of the piss and stuff bcuz drunks. so i paid 1 euro for the shitter, and rolled my matt out and slept waiting for my train back to oslo.had tons of other things i wont mention but that day is the most "patriotic"love from california. (prices were as cheap as im used to) (drink a litago chocolate milk for me pls)im fucked up right now and i feel fucking dumb gushing online about ur little base.
But Africa is expensive. I almost did a road trip through Ghana, Togo, and Benin but I realized it costs so much.Why is SE Asia so cheap but more developed but Africa is so expensive. Even if you aren't staying at ritzyland resort or whatever it's like 1st world prices if you don't want to live in a slum. I'm going to have to build income before I do my first Africa road trip. This is a life long goal so hopefully with life extension technology it's possible. Am I going to make it? Probably won't be able to travel much internationally the next 2-3 years :( I've only been to 34 UN countries + Taiwan + England, scotland, wales + Bermuda + Puerto Rico + VaticanWith life extension technology I could have the body and mind of a 25 year old when I'm 80 and have more money to spend on travel

Canada sucks. I have living rights in the UK/EU if I bother to get the passport, but Europe is a massive shithole with most countries having a combination of uncontrolled migration, low wages, high taxes, unfriendly cultures, bad weather and expensive. Australia is hot Canada. Maybe the USA but a visa is hard to get. I'm thinking maybe China, Malaysia, or Oman if Israel ever stops shitting up the middle east.
>>2878042australia, there are regions that arent super hot but still warm all year long
>>2878042Wait a few years until Mileikowsky is ousted from power and a Peronist assumes office then move to Argentina.
>>2879111Better hope you have foreign dollar income either way, Argentina can't be fixed because it's full of Argentines, not because the president is a Jew/Muslim/Catholic, since they've tried them all at this point
>Europe is a massive shitholeYes it it rajesh, don't ever come here. Better return to india.

Albertan here. What do you guys think of the Canadian Rockies as a travel destination?
>>2875549Normie containment zone, canada really prides itself on lame shit like accessibility. That beautiful lake is way too close to the trailhead for it to be an enjoyable place, all the sandal wearers and soys get to experience the view without earning it. I'm sure there's actually difficult hikes in Banff and Yoho but they should be gatekept hard and not posted to tiktok and jewstagram. Also Banff as a town is overrated as hell.
I think it's fantastic. Moving there this year.
It's fine if you live in a part where you don't have to be surrounded by actual Canadians.
It's too remote and boring for me. I like hiking, but I want a good meal and a warm bed at the end of the day. And it's not exactly cheap to do it. If you have to fly to Canada, rent a car and then pay $7.50/gallon for gas, you could have just flown to France and taken the bus to the Alps. You could stay in Megève for $500/week. No car needed in France. Just take the lifts up to the mountain tops and hike around the prettiest areas in the world. Come back down at the end of the day and eat the best food of your life in France. Canadian food and nightlife is horrid.
Jasper is fucking amazing and a great place to roast marshmallows
Post some of your favorite motels you stayed at. Nothing better than a cheap and unique motel to rest your weary head. This one was in the middle of nowhere in Idaho. It was like -5F outside (-20C) but so warm and toasty inside (see pic in thread)God I love motels. Mom and pop motels are cheaper than chains and are made with love. The guy who owns this place was so cool and so nice.

>>2878810Breezewood has some fun things to do in that area. Seven Springs is about an hour away. That's a really great little ski resort.
>>2878920There's an overlook somewhere on the terrace mountain trail near Raystown Lake (which is in your picture-set), but I can't figure out where exactly it is, and I'm too intimidated to contact the Army that runs it. I think there's also an overlook at the Seven Springs Ski Resort that's accessible to hikers too but I can't figure out where that is or if it's worth it. I think most people in Breezewood would be better served by keep on keeping on towards Ohiopyle and the Laurel Highlands. I've always wondered why they've never tried to do more tourism development right in and around Breezewood itself.
Carolina beach is great they got a bunch right on the beach
>>2878924There are a bunch of nice little waterfalls east of Uniontown PA. Look up the natural water slides, sugar run falls and Ohiopyle Falls.
Do you plug up before travelling?Whether its the airplane, train, coach - its a new revelation for me. I always just wore headphones for the whole travel day and sometimes its tedious.Whether its blocking out the ambient noise, or there is a cranky baby, or 3rd worlder talking on their phone, or some drunk chavs and chavettes It made last journey so much more comfy.Foam plugs are ok. The christmastree ones ive had one good pair one seemingly useless pairNewly tried wax plugs, feel gross in your hand, but worked extremely well. could still hear when attendant has to talk to you, but can ignore everything else

Yes, I know. Long-distance relationships. They're not usually well-received. On the contrary, they're always seen as quite wrong. Even I didn't intend to have a long-distance relationship. I'm 30 years old now, and this is the first time I've fallen in love. I probably look awful, sorry. But anyway, I'm going to get to the point.Quick summary: I need money to go see the girl I like most in the world in Florida.Explanation: I have Asperger's, my country's government gives me a stipend that's more than enough to live here. But it's only enough for "absolutely necessary things to survive," not for loansI won't say the name of the girl I like for privacy reasons, sorry. From now on, I'll refer to her as "She."It's the first time I've been in love. This time, I have. The stomach pain I had three days ago, while "She" was away for more than 48 hours for work. "She" has a pretty dangerous job, and that's why I fully intend to go visit her, and if I'm lucky, live with her. I hope so. Please, let me dream for just once in my life. "She" likes me. We met almost a year ago playing a video game. Neither of us intended to like each other, but over time, it happened. Without realizing it, we started liking each other more and more.I want to do everything I can to pass the exam for the same job as "She" so I can be by her side."She," if you somehow manage to get here and read this. I love you. SO MUCH. You have no idea how much I love your personality. And your name, which I sadly can't mention here, is truly beautiful. The blush on your ears is the prettiest thing in the world.After all this rambling, which many might find disappointing or even disgusting to read, I'm doing everything I can to be with "She." This post is one of the possibilities I'm working on.The problem is the two-week time limit. I'm stupid for not preparing it better beforehand.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

Ik how 4chan users comonly are, im fine with it.I gonna start ignoring toxic responces. Probably 90% of them are gonna be toxic. I just though here in 4chan were ppole crazy as me that just gets fun on supporting crazy/hard things.Because if it wasnt me who wants to do this crazy travell, it was another person i probably suport it becuase i could.Just for the lolz of wanting to se completed for once, and shut up the rest of toxic comentaries.I literally not forcing anyone to do anything nor to pay at all. Take it as you want, lol.

I already travelled many countries including japan, i do it by airplane then i love to use bycicle to se the good landscapes on each country i visited. i only used google translate on the Original post, not a single responce i wirted used it. I used Google translate mostly to fix any samall error i could write to keep the text clean. this msg itself is hand writted btw. and i write too fast that i change some letters order without notice, sorry if that happens.My disability is Asperger, nothing phisical. and im uncapable to get fat because genetics (mostly all my family cant get fat too) and being hiperactive.Im really big weeb, but i literally use the bycicle and camping a lot more than use my PC since kid.and i should stop replying that type of comments but i though i should clarify that.Also.. this is 4chan guys, waht if im into femboys? im not but, use the dick excuse to comment or try to discourage me on this idea? kinda funny ngl. no offense.
