Because they're cooking the books. The government lies about everything else, what makes you think they're being honest about the migration figures, when you know no one is happy about it? You can see it with your own eyes, Italians are a minority in Rome, it's all Africans now.

Im traveling to Rome next week from Kentucky with the sole purpose of beating the ever loving tar out of Romanian pickpocketers. I have ordered this shirt and will be wearing it for the duration of my trip. If any of you see me please point out any pickpockets you see thank you

This. The Italian police are cucks. Caribbeaner dudes are straight up giga chad nog repellent. If you are up super early in the morning, say 0630 or so, find the cafe these guys get there morning coffee and breakfast at because it’s probably the best place in the neighborhood.

>>2824156
>any good suggestions for networking or meeting people abroad who are doing business?
if you want to meet business people then really the best place is to look for special interest groups related to whatever business you are in, or expat small business groups, or something similar
really you have to start on social media to see what is happening around you. facebook/reddit (oh god i can hear the mouthbreathers lurching over their keyboards already) or linkedin to find local groups, or eventbrite to find events, expos etc that you can attend
yeah yeah people bitch about how awful linkedin is but over the last 10 years or so i would say the majority of my work with new customers has originated on there
>bars
this is not a good place to start. yes you will occasionally find an expat who is working with a local company who will give you some good insights. that might even be me. but it is not generally a basis for a strong business relationship. the most likely outcome is that they will give you their card then forget all about you

i am not particularly interested in business connections i just like the vibe and wanna try to talk to people and see what other industries are like over drinks while im abroad in asia
im a corporate lawfag who will be travelling quite a bit soon

>>2824236
in that case social media or a site like meetup is still your best bet, by looking up local business groups or interest groups and finding out what places they hang out.
there are always bars that tend to attract an expat crowd but the ratio of weirdos to people you might want to talk to tends to be quite high (unless you like talking to weirdos, of course)
there used to be periodical pamphlet type thingss published regularly in most asian megacities that had local event listings, expat friendly places and so on but i haven't seen anything like that for some time. i guess they have all been superseded by facebook

>>2824156
conferences

>>2824156
This is one of the very few situations where LinkedIn is actually useful—all kinds of businesspeople in a range of industries are happier than you would expect to talk to people who pass through their territories, especially if you know people in common, and/or come across as someone who might someday be a customer, client, valuable new hire, or employer. Reach out to people whose industries or companies are of interest to you before a trip, and you’re very likely to get at least a few people willing to take a meeting.

Another species of surprisingly easy-to-access network can be found in international chambers of commerce—the American versions of these are mostly country/market-specific (a few are regional), and they’re nicknamed AmChams. They’re little clubs representing American businesses operating in whatever country they’re in, and they frequently hold public events to show off American products, services, or joint-venture/investment opportunities that attract lots of host-country businesspeople. And they’re not uniquely American—the UK has BritChams all over Asia, and I assume there are CanChams and AusChams as well.

A final angle that may be worth exploring are your country’s local embassies and/or cultural outposts (the British Council, Goethe Institut, etc.). The cultural institutes are mostly language schools in many countries, but some of them organize public events that attract the occasional local big shot who went to Oxford or Heidelberg or wherever (and on that note, also see if there’s an alumni association for one of the schools you attended in whatever country you’re heading for). And embassies have all kinds of parties and public events that are often not hard to get invited to.

What about get a Tui flight (the one to FL, which might require a trip to the UK first), then stay local to where the flight gets off (MLB). It is relatively quiet, but there are some very good hotels near the ocean, as well as slightly inland. I recommend the Cape Winds Resort about an hour North of the airfield. It is a very clean and comfortable oceanfront property which is quite close to the rocket launch complex at Cape Canaveral. Additionally, this positions you quite close to some tourist attractions to both the North and South with no more than a 20 minute drive (traffic conditions pending).

It is cheaper than the Keys, by the way, but let me know if it is still too expensive (do your homework on prices, I just know that it is cheaper).

>>2825425
>it's so expensive
Why are you complaining? There's a full range of accomodations for every budget in that part of Florida. If you're a filthy poorfag, you can pay as little as $49/night to stay in Florida City, a crime-ridden shithole ghetto between Miami and Key Largo. Next choice up is Key Largo, an island cut in half by a traffic-ridden four-lane highway. Rooms start at $90/night there. Marathon and some of the other intermediate islands have rooms starting at $112/night. Key West, the most desirable and most expensive island, starts at $168/night.

cayman islands specifically grand cayman, super comfy, relaxing, modern, expensive, boring. little cayman or cayman brac, i think are backwater and sleepy i duno the cost

mexico - the yucatan crime rate is much lower than northenr mexico, tons of tourist go cancun, cuzamel, playa del carmen.
there are lots of resorts that are contained.
also people go on the pacific side too

domincan republic lots of people go to resorts punta cana

bahamas - nassau, similar to florida weather, lots of american tourism there.

bermuda - more north in atlantic, a bit milder, being northern euro might be weather for your summer. long time since i was there, felt very quaint low crime.

costa rica, tons of millenials like to go on holiday there - know some young family with kids that stayed like 5 weeks last winter

Forget that shit. Struggle is the meaning of life. Your aversion to struggle is what makes you miserable.

If it enables you to accept the reality of life as struggle and ordeal, then yes it will realign your life priorities and manifest a greater degree of satisfaction with your life, even when you are experiencing difficulty and deprivation.

They are effeminate as well. Their mind works like a female's mind in its constant effort to manufacture justification for the most irrational, self-sabotaging behavior, shifting blame onto le society, le boomers, le jews, le roasties. When the whole tower of delusion comes crashingg down, the doomer, much like the female, has a complete emotional meltdown and starts talking about how I want to die, life isn't worth living, I'm a worthless loser, etc etc.

>Roast me / give feedback, anons.
I’m a bit surprised that an aggregator like this doesn’t already exist, assuming it actually doesn’t already exist. I know there are multiple aggregators for ferry services. Seems like a marketable and potentially useful product.

What’s the revenue model, though, if there is one? Ads? Promoted offers from the cruise lines? Are you making this just for fun, or as a business?

In any case, if you’re capable of building something that is both functional and boomer-friendly (visually and ease-of-use wise), and it’s not just a glitchy knockoff of a product that already exists, nice job.

No work or jobs within a reasonable distance and no you're not working at lawsons as a Gajin
Property tax is not estimated so your house could be valued at 200k or 20k
It could be uninsurable
Foundation/roofing/supports could be shot or needs some kind of heavy repairs such as mold in the walls
Location to actual work
It may only be open to those with correct permits (think auction houses, certified banking associates, project developers)
Could be in a known flood zone or natural disaster place
These things to get up to code need new fireproofing standards which Japan only implemented like a few decades ago and it costs as much as a house

There could (and this is most likely the case) a lien on the house due to foreclosure, unpaid taxes, owner missing, etc. The house is "technically free" AFTER you pay the bank lien or state lien(usually being taxes and interest). All these things must be paid upfront in cash to clear any bad debt. These exist in the USA, if you've ever heard of the "buy it for a dollar" plan some cities run it's basically that. USUALLY, these are because bankers or investment agencies can't move the house because something about it is not worth the repairs.

It's like how you can go to iaai.com and get a sports car for <5k with under 100k miles easily that starts and runs and will get you around, though the second a mechanic looks at it he'll tell you the frame is rusted, headgasket showing signs of cracking, and you won't pass any inspection; but hey you got a sports car! Sure it just costs you 40k in repairs but ya know it's a deal**! Hope you like cleaning and being your own handyman.

>However, menial farm labor is worth a mere $0.50 per hour

Obligatory unpaid labor is actually illegal in many countries, so this workaround is very common.

>I want to own land;
why? "owning land" by itself is almost pointless. it does not provide any income and is only a potential burden with taxes, upkeep etc
if you want to own e.g. a plantation/agricultural land that is a different matter
if you want to buy land for potential future development or to sell it again at some point then yeah you can do that as a kind of speculative investment but it comes with a lot of risks associated with it

>>2825222
as an american I am against owning condos.
condos still have a tax burden, and hoa fees are more ineffecient than doing the work or hiring a contractor your self.

I do not like the idea of renting, because landlords in the usa tend to be aggressive and nosy as fuck; and the usa is a very land lord friendly with the exception of california, new york city, oregon and washington (but this is a new and growing fast). It's just very nice, to not have a landlord barging into your place of residence where you might be growing some mushrooms, for some thing stupid.

If you're going to be visiting Baltistan, make sure you go at a time when Deosai National Park is open, as it's probably the most gorgeous area in the entire region, and is really good for hiking as well as hunting. I had the bad luck of visiting in early April 2024 when it was still closed for a while.

As for languages, it's a highly linguistically diverse region, where the language changes every sub-region. Everyone speaks Urdu, and English can be enough to get by outside of the most remote regions, so I wouldn't bother learning any languages; though if you have an interest, Balti and Tibetan are some of the most unique and fascinating languages in the world, with the most aesthetic script known to man. I had the advantage of just being able to use Urdu wherever I went.

Also, know that because of the Kashmir threat, you will be stopped and ID'd by the military at a checkpoint on every district crossing and they might want to see your visa too. For me this never took more than a couple minutes, but YMMV.

I assume you already have a top-tier fitness level because the mountains in the region really do require it. A relatively easy and scenic trek (but still harder than anything in the Alps) that I recommend is the Masherbrum (K1), for which you have to drive up to the village of Hushe.

You can hire a car pretty easily, but getting petrol in the region can be difficult at times because of supply chain issues, I was shafted in this regard and ended up paying 2-3x the normal price. I'm not sure about motorbikes.

Another thing I recommend looking out for is the Katpana and Sarfaranga deserts or cold desert plains that contain a really unique kind of terrain and flora. You can go paragliding here, which is top kino, but again, you might not be able to if you're too late/early. If you go in the summer, you can also swim and fish in any suitable spot in the Indus, which runs along much of the highway. The water is crystalline blue and there's no one around for miles apart from the odd passing car. The manmade stuff like the various forts and the touristy waterfall are mostly skippable, but if you have any interest in sufism then there are many mosques worth asking the locals about, especially near Khaplu, which is where you'll go to get access to all the big peaks and glaciers.

The people are extremely friendly, tolerant, and generous toward tourists. If you have any experience with large subcontinental cities, just know that it's nothing like that. You will never be scammed or mistreated.

7.5/10 overall, would recommend.

>>2824213
>>2824212
tank you bro. I will definitely research Deosai. How far up Masherbrum do you go? Surely not to the top? I live at around 8,000 feet in the western US so my lungs aren't as virgin as they could be, I think I can manage a few good hikes.
Yea I've never been to India but I have been to other neighboring countries, so I always expect the worst kind of street hustlers. If the pakis offer a break from that, that's fine with me.
