It seems like a pretty big place, lots of hiking and different towns.

>>2750979
I've been there, as part of a 3-week roadtrip from Stockholm.. went up to Nordkapp, then to Oslo through the fjords. It was one of my favorite parts of the trip, the E10 scenery was amazing and Norway has some recognized tourist routes with well-developed stops along the way.

Stayed at a random Airbnb near Svolvaer since the city itself was pricy. Drove to Moskenes, took the ferry south to Bodo and went from there.

Wish I had more time to hike but I didn't. Also did a Trollfjord cruise and it wasn't very good, there are much better fjords to explore further south (Geirangerfjord was the best.)

>>2751018
What happened on the Trollfjord cruise? I was looking at one

>Has /trv/ been here?
Yes did a road trip with my brother
>>Did you see the aurora
Yes but saw it alot better in Absiko Sweden
>>How much is there to do
There's stuff to do but going in winter made me wish it was summer because most of the best hiking trails were closed. Reine and hemmingsvaer were very pretty. The famous soccer field in hemmingsvaer was covered in snow so it can be a lot down. Still a cool trip
>>Did you rent a car
Yes we flew into Kiruna Sweden and rented a car.
>>Where did you stay
Svolvaer at and Airbnb
>>Did you go anywhere further north (Tromsø, Svalbard etc)
No

Do you have Apple Wallet or android equivalent? For my credit card, I was able to get the info prior to my trip so I didn't have to wait for the card to arrive, just loaded it onto my phone and tapped my phone for transactions. And many small vendors are cool if you just enter your card info manually.
That was for Amex though, not sure if you can get debit card info in advance.

Well maybe I was too hard on myself and the wagies. It arrived. The address was missing part of it and she put the lines in the wrong order, the hotel name was spelled wrong, my name was on there twice, but it arrived UPS International Express Saver a week after I placed the call. Too bad I checked out of the hotel and had to do a visa run the afternoon it arrived. I'm rather impressed. And the reception girl is hot for me so she'll keep it safe and texted me.

>>2751419
Props to the UPS man, he's evidently used to deciphering gibberish addresses filled out by incompetent secretaries. Good to know that international delivery is so efficient these days.

>>2751693
Undoubtebly impressive for an asian slum. I don't know who the final delivery agent was, but it had to be some local on a scooter I'd think.

What the fuck is wrong with bongs?
I’ve seen this a lot, they just get shitfaced and treat every place they’re at like an amusement park once they step outside of the UK
I mean people drink and get stupid but it’s always the English guy in the party that goes completely apeshit

>>2751417
British society is essentially caste based. The bottom 50% are essentially a permanent multigenerational beast of burden class. They're practically a different race to the middle and upper classes. In that sense, you can't really generalise about bongs because their traits vary enormously depending on where in the bong caste system they come from.

It's the only joy a British person can get in life

I am trans and I went to mexico recently and everyone was super nice to me. Even a random family asked me to come celebrate with me on new years day and eat with them, despite me being pretty obviously trans. I've been to several states in mexico and they've all been extremely nice like that.

Comparatively, places like USA or Britain a large % of the population just has seething chud anger and they want to make it known. A lot less incidence with assholes like that. People were generally live and let live, respect and I respect you, that sort of attitude. I imagine a lot of other countries in latin america are like that as well, I've heard great things about Argentina/Chile that's where I want to go next.

you could look into going to the F1 race (3-6 July) but there are other races such as MotoGP (23-25 May). It's not that far away

>Seaside towns
Your right question mark is over Brighton which is the seaside resort of choices for gays and obnoxious Londoners. You could instead go west to Weston-Super-Mare or even Barry (in Wales) from Reading easily enough.

>I get to pick my hotel too which is up to $90 a day
lol sounds like a dire low rate for the UK but idk. All the hotels are filled with illegal scum so supply is low and prices are through the roof

If I think of more I'll post some more later or whenever

is a bit shit, they don't let you near it except if you're a pagan at a solstice
you can go to Avebury instead, which is less well known so they let you look at the megaliths up close and personal
honestly in that part of the world the comfy thing to do with a spare weekend in the summer is to buy one of the orange OS maps, follow the green lines to a rural pub, and get sloshed while some farmer's dog demands pets from you

>>2751351

I stayed in Prague for a week right after covid ended and everything had reopened. It was an easygoing city and one of my favorite places. There were a lot of tourists, but I never really saw any scammers, definitely not like the ones in Rome that are every tourist spot. The crowds were really only concentrated in two spots, Charles Bridge and at the astronomical clock. We never waited in line for anything in the city, not at museums, bars or restaurants. Beer was $1.50 everywhere. The food was shockingly good. It's super walkable and we only took a cab maybe twice, once to go to a restaurant on the outskirts called Klášterní šenk and another time when we walked up to the Petrin Tower and didn't feel like walking back. The city is gorgeous and there are little bars all over the city where you can hang out all night and drink the best beer you'll ever try and end up with a bill for $12. The only thing I'd say to avoid would be the tourist trap bars like Black Angels where they try to charge $20 for a cocktail. Definitely go to Mincovna at least once for a meal. That place was flawless.

around the tourist areas there a lot of small convenience stores called "mini marts". avoid them, they charge 3x higher prices. go find a Tesco or lidl/aldi (cant remember which one) or maybe carrefour (i cant really remember which normal grocery store brands are here t b h) for normal prices. some of the metro stations have stores in them too

>but is it the sort of place where tourists are resented?
I don't think this attitude really exists outside of Barcelona

>>2751602
>Is it fine if I just download Alipay, connect it with a debit card and register my passport there? Can I then just pay for everything?
Yes, it works fine, no bullshit. It's the maps apps that you're actually fucked with

>>2751665
>It's the maps apps that you're actually fucked with
why?

>>2751602
there is new system for foreigners. it is easier than it was last year. if you arrive at major airport there are kiosks with english speakers who can set it all up for you.
there is a huge increase in non-chinese tourists due to visa free travel and they have made it easy

>>2751676
The foreign ones haven't been updated in 10 years and local ones are only available in Chinese

so wait, the whole point of backpacking is so that you dont have luggage with you, and you can stay on the go, but where do you leave your shit when you do the actual activities? say, ziplining, diving, going to the beach. do you just leave it at the hostel? then you have to go back to retrieve it? might as well bring more actual luggage then no?

>>2751429
The whole point of backpacking is to have very little luggage, because cheap hostels have no room for luggage. Half the time you end up sleeping next to your backpack. Same goes for the local buses that backpackers often use to go places for cheap. They can be very crowded with no luggage space. Motorbike taxis as well. If they are splitting between cars in heavy traffic, they can't have you dangling your fat suitcase off to one side. Lastly, some backpackers include a multi-day trekking expedition in their itinerary, so having a large backpack makes it easy for them to carry the camping gear they need.

>>2748893
>80% of backpackers are women
Sounds a little inflated, but could be true
You won’t find them outside hostels or major cities though

>>2751689
i used Bangkok as my base and just left most of my stuff in apartment room there closed and took the key, not telling the host where i am going. For escapades i just took small backpack, passport i also left in BKK and took only photocopy on my phone. I was in island, in national park and in Ayutthaya, had 0 problem. Maybe its more expensive solution cause you have 2 places booked at the same time
>>2749539
>travel girls are always horny, full stop

yeah if you are attractive. Last year i was in Thailand and interacted with backpacker group at national park tour. There i got ghosted even by a fat american girl. She started talking to me when we sat at the integration table, then next day i saw her few times and at the end i saw her at the same bus station, leaving. I asked her for whatsapp - to hang out when we are back in BKK. She said sure why not, interchanged contacts, just so she never replies when i msged her (she probably gave me contacts just to not provoke stranger man, had to be careful as sole female traveller).
I also got rejected by literal bargirl in Bangkok pool bar. I bought the drinks, and one for her and played few rounds of pool with her but when i asked if she wants to go with me later, she said "she never goes out with customers but i can support her education by buying drinks". I played few more rounds with her all the while she touched my on back, and on elbows and on ears. I asked her why is she doing it, she replied "just teasing".
So yeah i got there expected to be treated as white god, i got rejected by fat american girl, old australian roastie and by bargirl, also rejected by posh london girls, even tho one of them seemed interested at the moment. Once a fat girl in thai massage parlor seemed interested, she was asking me where my hotel is and if i am single, like a social retard i am i said i won't tell her my hotel in the public setting because it's unsafe. However neither me nor her thought about exchanging contacts

Unironically just move to Charleston WV, brain drain is real meaning you can often get a fairly upkept house for ~55-70k because people are simply looking to GTFO after college. Cost of living is dirt and if you have any brain cells you should be able to get a job that will keep you around if you just show up. Alternatively look at ashland, enjoy a double wide with pennys per year in property tax and people who will leave you alone to drink yourself to death. Weather is super fall season is GOAT as well.

What is Dayton Ohio like? I’ll be going there in the spring to sperg about at the Air Force museum

Is there even a city? Not really. Orange County doesnt really have "cities". America barely has "cities" in the way someone from Tokyo or Paris would understand a city to be. Laguna Beach maybe is the only place remotely "walkable" but you still need a car. You cannot exist in southern california without a car. Maybe San Diego you can but you are going to have a massive decrease in quality of life.

Most cities in Orange County differ only by demographics, which in turn influences city decisions over the years. Irvine being the exception as a pre planned city from the beginning. You can go to parts of HB and itll look exactly the same as Santa Ana or Anaheim.

99 percent of cities in America exist soley as suburban sprawl shitholes, initially built for residents of city centers to escape the growing concetration of niggers. They are also all designed assuming everyone will own a car. To compound this problem in the early 1900s Standard Oil, aka chevron, bought up all the local trains and trolleys in southern california and shut them down. It was doomed to be hell on earth from the start

You HAVE to drive everywhere. If you want to get from one city in Orange County to another you HAVE to drive. Most buses dont leave the individual cities and the ones that do usually have got other people you dont want to be sitting next to on.

You do need a car. And most of the cities inland aren't walkable. But the beach towns are all very walkable and bikeable. If you can't afford a car, why are you renting an apartment in Orange County for $2700 a month?

Calling Orange County hell on earth is ludicrous. Sure Anaheim and Santa Ana suck, but they're still nicer than 90 percent of major US cities because of the flawless weather, location, food, and all the things to do. The beaches in Orange County are amazing. You just have to be able to afford it.

Orange county is absolutely hell on earth unless you are an attractive person with a trust fund.

There's nothing whatsoever wrong with it. My US passport is the same way, it naturally spreads open when you pick it up instead of remaining closed like a book.

>>2751531
In Australia a replacement passport is a few hundred dollars, The quality of the passport is also extremely poor the thieving fucks.
Definitely think passport quality has been deteriorating over the past few decades.

Just keep them in a protective case OP when my latest one arrived in them mail brand new it was literally bent.

This place charges me the lowest meal prices I've seen. Pork fried rice with fried egg and broth for 30K or $1.38. 40K is standard for fried rice + egg. I tried to get her to tack on 5K extra for the egg but she insisted on 30K. The opposite of the noodle shop last night that served me slimy greens and an unwanted bottle of water before insisting on a payment of 40K. You have to point out that you didn't touch the water bottle AFTER you get the bill amount. That way they are obligated to take 5K off the bill.

First guest to stay in the room here. Unfortunately they never cleaned the room after construction was completed. Toilet float valve has a hole in it, so the water never stops flowing. I told the owner that I'd like to rent a bicycle and then had a real hard time dissuading her from her idea of buying a new bicycle for $100 and then renting it to me at a daily rate that kept climbing higher. She offered to let me use one of the unregistered scooters on the property for free if I gave her my passport, but I declined.

People who say locals never splurge on fine food are lying. This trio of average looking folks in an ordinary old truck spent 540,000 kip to fulfill their seafood cravings for lunch. That's $25 USD.

Delicious fish stew for only 25K! The lady was selling food fast as shecould bag it and make change, that's how you know it was good. Her grilled meatloaf with dill - a favorite Lao flavor - was also top notch. LMAO at being a sucker and paying 100K for some watery broth boiled with fish and veggies for ten minutes when this is what the locals are eating.

Four weeks' expenses are in! Laos versus Thailand, how do they compare?

Total: $621 Thailand, $568 Laos
Lodging: $300 Thailand, $256 Laos
Food: $246 Thailand, $203 Laos
Travel: $7.78 for 1140 km on Thai rails, $32 for 560 km on Lao roads
Intoxicants: $29.50 Thailand, $19 Laos
Tutoring: None in Thailand, $45 for three sessions in Laos

Without the tutoring fees, the cost disparity would've been even more in favor of Laos.

Why would it matter what passport you are carrying. Long as you meet the requirements for entry you'll be A-OK. All right, you may have to show proof of available funds and/or proof of a return trip to be admitted, while other more affluent nationalities get these requirements waived.

Learning numbers and the names of foods is of high importance if you want to eat like a local - and seamlessly pay local prices to do so. Otherwise, English is the lingua franca for foreigners who do not understand each other's languages. Most people do appreciate foreigners trying to learn their language, so if you want to make friends it is good to learn a few phrases.

>>2751576
Widely depends on where you go and exactly what passport you have
Idk what your English level has to do with it when you’re going to non-English speaking countries lmao
