Is New Orleans around Christmas / New Years fun?

I 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!

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.

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.

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 ??

Last 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.

I 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.

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.

These 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.
>>
>>2835157
I'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

It 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]

im 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 cultures
it'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.

there'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

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?

You 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.
