>>2736143Don't end up truly homeless, you're teetering on the edge
>>2736049Please leave the US dude the last time interstate travel was cool was in the 50s when you could cross find uhh… “5th tweene you’re old cunny” like in “on the road” by Jack keuroack. Those dudes had a grand old time
>>2738572If you're not a pedo, there's lots of early twenties crystal-hippy girls out West working the outdoor tourism wagie circuit
>>2738583Just Be ChadAlso if you have any bad habits you won't save money at all and will become the 30 year old jooob hunter, perpetually looking for a new job.$1000/month is about as much as you can expect to save at megacorp parkie jobs if you want to have any semblance of a life. If you have a nice car with payments and full insurance coverage, you will spend every dollar of every pay period

Anyone ever travel to the parts of china with all the unused abandoned buildings? Those ghost cities(I heard they’re mostly just shitty buildings made to be an investment but not really lived in but I could be wrong). Was it interesting? You try going into the buildings? Was it creepy or just boring?They look kinda creepy to me ngl. Just these huge empty monolithsPicrel
Goddamn Chinafags, can't we get a /CHG/ going instead of all these different threads?Nearly all of Europe can now visit China visa-free for 30 days. Vietnam as well. No such luck for burgers, USA so Third World we have to apply for permission to visit Asian countries, kek.
>>2737955There was one with 300 replies it just died yesterday. Feel free to make a new one. I agree theres like 4 threads that should just be China General questions
>>2737955>>2737956the generals get spammed, so it makes sense they aren't being made
>>2736177Western press calls them ghost cities because they build a shit load at once before anything is ready to be lived in.Then people move in and no one reports on it.
>>2738590>N....Nothing to see here, 老外>E...Everything is fine. China numba wan!
Want to spend a few weeks here. Gonna take a couple of years off, burnt-out wanna chill. Mostly curious about the food. How cheap and good is it? I've seen nice little boutique hotels for $30 per day. Ideally I want to spend no more than $50 per day total. What am I in for?
>>2738560>medevacthat's not going to help you when time matters. i just thinkg of how those 6 dead backpackers in any other country they would have made it, because they would have gotten to a proper hospital quickly enough and been given the antidote or ethanol at minimum to counteract the methanol. in laos, they just twiddled their thumbs and watched them die until a relative or embassy comes bya nd says hey let us throw that person into the back of a truck and transport them to a hospital in thailand. that's literally your medevac option, because there are no ambulances even in Laos. it literally is like going to a stone age country and you guys think i'm exagerating. literally their entire prime minister's office burned down few months ago because they don't even have fire trucks! for a city of nearly a millin people, they have maybe total four or five trucks that show up an hour later with one tank of water. good luck when your hotel catches on fire!
>>2738575>four or five trucks that show up an hourAnd that's just the capital! Other cities have nothing. Vang Vieng would jsut burn to the ground completely, Luang Prabang also.
>>2738543>>2738575Is this the latest trv meme?Laotian vodka enters the same tier of shitposting as Singapore sucking, thai airport officials hiding drugs in your luggage, guys breaking your spine, etc
>>2738575This aroused me because that means the local women are probably desperate for some quick cash
>>2738576luang prabang has a hospital, but yes generally emergency services are pretty primitive in laos. there are private clinics for most things but treatment is expensive. but this is the case in many places in asia. even in malaysia which is supposedly more developed, medical care especially at government hospitals is frequently terrible because every single member of staff cheated their way into their job and has no idea what to do in an actual emergency. but at least you can get good treatment in private places where the staff studied overseaslaos is still a cool place to visit. wouldn't want to stay there very long though
Anybody ever been to Hainan before?Might find myself ending up there for Chinese New Year. Heard it's going to be hell, and I'm going to get scammed HARD.Would learning basic Hainanese help ease a bit of the pain, or am I just going to be forever white, and destined to be ripped off?Also wondering about the following:>heard cycling's good as it's flat, but will I end up liveleaked?>do i have to worry about snakes, spiders, insects, creepy shit?>is it possible to just sit at the bar in a dive bar and be left the fuck alone?>will Russian or English be more useful?>any cool shit to reco?
>>2736805>Do they actually get you fucked up?They certainly fuck your mouth up
>>2736590bumpn' for >heard cycling's good as it's flat, but will I end up liveleaked?why didn't anyone answer?If any experienced anon's are feeling kind, i'd also like to know about cycling safety in>Asia Minor>Middle East>Caucasus>West/Central Asia>Hindu-Kush region
>>2738511I did answer though>>2736592>No you won't be liveleaked unless you are recklessNot sure what other detail to offer. I've been cycling and motorscooter-ing for almost a decade throughout China and the only accident I got in was entirely my own fault
>>2738541I guess I skipped that line entirely, whoops
>>2738578No worries it was hidden in my stream of consciousness
I want to emigrate from this PoS county. Preferable outside of the west. I got UK citizenship but Europe just seems more of the same garbage as Canada. What are good options to emigrate to? I'm currently considering Malaysia, Turkey, Thailand, Morocco, and Oman. I would emigrate to China if possible but they don't allow non-Chinese to emigrate there long term. I have intermediate understanding of Mandarin (can read, listen but not speak).
>>2737375The cartels are intertwined with local businesses in Mexico. They will never target tourists or obvious foreigns for crime on purpose because that means less cashflow going into their money laundering schemes. We want YOU spending and having a good time. For that same reason, cartels do keep petty crime on check. Pickpocketing is a very rare occurrence even in big cities.Just don't be an asshole with randoms and you will be fine. Nobody likes assholes in here. Especially asshole boomer gringos with god complex.>t. mexican in the know
>>2738069shit like this is why we are going to invade your shithole and fix the shit you refuse to fix with your socialist nation
>>2738096You gotta fix your shithole first. Good luck with Trump.
>>2735362Pick Malaysia. Your Mandarin can be useful in and near Singapore, Malaysian language itself is quite simple, nearly the same as Indonesian so now you can communicate with so many people. You can also do business. It's not overrun by digital homads and bromads. I would check out visa and living options now. Be aware they have rainy seasons and in summer are quite hot. Absolutely do not go to Morocco.
>>2735362Fly to Mexico and walk north.
>Pro tip: if you have too many 3oz. bottles, bring two quart bags and put one in your personal and the other in your carry on.So I could take my packable day bag out of my carry on and throw another quart of liquids in it, then just throw it all back in my carry on once I'm past security? Am I missing something here? USA to Korea if that matters
Buy all your faggy ointments and lubes on arrival, you faggot.
>>2738562There's not enough lube in Korea for me and your mom
>act like you’re a peaceful human looking to visit spain>spain government would take every penny and accept your visa>get in spain>never come back to your shithole>hide in the abandoned kino towns>spend 1500$ on spanish whores>spend 200$ on some spanish whore>marry her>get a green card>4 years later>get a spanish citizenshipWhat’s stopping you anon?
>>2738339No spanish girl is going to want an expat who couldn't make it in their home country
>>2738477>Cost of living is so low guys, oh btw you have to give up 40% of your incomelol...
>>2738493Yea the Spaniards are a zest and vivacious people. They’ll quickly pick up on the lifeless, asocial nature of some dork American who thinks he can just substitute swiping his wise card for a social life LOL
>>2738339I don't speak Spanish.
>>2738397And you'll live off what exactly?
I have the opportunity to go study for one semester in one of China, Korea or Taiwan. I know absolutely no Mandarin or Korean. Where should I go?Not interested in cooming, please no discussions about that.
>>2738126>A semester abroad in the most carefree time in your life outside of literal childhood is harder and less fun than a normal semesterLiterally what?
>>2738126buddy got addicted to wagecucking like a good goy. why are you even on this board?
>>2736316>rankingsone of the biggest jewish lies in academia, anon. those rarely mean shit
>>2738093Well its either xiamen or hong kong with my university. But good to know
>>2738521I'd probably go Hong Kong if it's just for a semester and those were the only two options, unless you foresee yourself taking every chance you get say on the weekends to explore more of ML China
Just what exactly is it like for a white guy to visit India?
this is 100 percent a made up cuck fantasy by an indian male
>>2738319cope, it's something indians have done for many centuries pretty much a well documented tradition
>>2738319Yea the tall blonde and blue eyed cringe is what sealed it
Has anyone done this? Is it even worth it? Flights alone are atleast 1k to Europe for me. At first it seemes like I'm missing out but I'd probably just do the same shit here desu
>>2731465>>2731618it's full of insufferable retards, and not that cheapt. lived RIGHT ON the Camino de Santiago for 10 years
>>2731323>Normies will sit alone in a cheap hotel eating free hotel breakfast. That is a non-experience, non-travel. Meanwhile vagrants will be sneaking through the hotel lobby to steal said breakfast. That is a highlight of the trip, an adrenaline rush and pockets stuffed full of bacon and muffins to last for days.Are you being ironic? That's literally the same experience, except that as a vargrant traveller, you act like human trash that nobody wants to associate with.
>>2735506Does anyone along the way rent furnished tents to wayfarers? I'd rather sleep outdoors in my own space than in a cramped hostel, but carrying a full load of camping gear on my back is not very appealing. Eating wholesome simple meals along the way too. Cost isn't a big concern, if it's cheaper than touring European cities I'll be happy.
There are a lot of unsecured abandoned buildings in Thailand. Would any foreigners dare to sleep for free as they travel the country by train?
>>2731385>e-bikeFor commuting at home, sure.For travel, absolutely not. It becomes infinitely more complicated to repair and keep running, and the stress of it breaking down and carrying a financial, and literal burden, is very bad considering the amount of time you'll spend on your steed. That (merited) anxiety of your 500$ electronics shitting the bed will also prevent you from taking more daring, and fun maneuvers/routes. And off the steed, their extra weight makes them far more unwieldy, tossing it over a fence or onto a railway car will be much more difficult.Infinitely more attractive to thief's as well.And most importantly, the spiritual benefits of having powered through hundreds of miles off nothing but your legs, willpower, and chain lube is too sweet to deny yourself.That being said, I want to ask a similar question to /trv/, how are the mechanics of bum bike-travel? (one trusty bike, not several "found" and subsequently disposed bikes)>>2732844How long are the periods inbetween jobs?How long do you hold the jobs?Is their use absolutely crucial, or is for the bonus pocket money, novelty?If the former, how so? Mainly for comfy lodging, food, or something else?If it's possible, what i'm really asking for is a schedule and ledger while living a-la vagabond.Please add as many details as you'd like
Please help me find my little sister. She is currently staying in a hotel, but she refuses to tell us her location. We are deeply concerned because we believe she might be under duress or being blackmailed.This is a screenshot from a video she sent us to reassure us that she’s 'safe.' If anyone can recognize the hotel or provide any information, please let us know immediately. We are desperate to bring her home safely.
>>2737706You gave us literally 0 context to work with. If you aren't a larper put your paper with the date and time. Also name and description of the girl and where she's travelled to prior, where you guys are from, and where she was going or believed to be going.
I recognize that hotel room - it’s in Munich. It’s right next the kebab shop, down the street from the new mosque.
>>2737707>>2737706If I had to guess based on what this anon also noticed, I'd say some resort in Cuba. That doesn't narrow it down much but look at room photos of resorts until you see that headboard setup. If the cuba thing is a total red herring then everything else seems very generic desu. She's wearing a sweater, is she the kind of person who would do that in a tropical/hot place?
>>2737873To clarify, I say "resort" in Cuba because that's more or less all there is, Cuba isn't like SEA with normal hotels really.
>>2737824why do women sexpat in souf east asia? It's counterintuitive
YOU.
How can anyone be more retarded than a pathetic boring brit?
>>2737126I'm not a fangirl usually, but he's my spirit animal.Going to a place, not expecting it to be Disneyland or some shit, not expecting to be a different person either, knowing that you're just some old fuck in a foreign place, just taking it, being there and raw-dogging it.
>>2737133He "raw dogs" it like Bear Grylls raw dogs it (ie not at all with camera crew and connections) but No Reservations is kino anyway
>>2737079>Get cucked>Get cucked twiceACK yourself
>>2737133i imagine that's how most people who browse a 4chan travel board would approach travel no? We've all spent enough time researching different cultures to not have an ideal image of them.
what would be the best way to explore and get a sense of the amazon rain forest? i'll be in colombia in january and looking for some options of what to do. i'll have a several days to a week to stay and i can fly to other cities for better launch points.i'd like to see animals, be with a guide that can explain things to you, and maybe a meeting with a spiritual guide/shaman.is it a place thats worth spending lots of time? i feel like there might not be a lot to see and do because the forest is so big and dense, so it'd all be the same
>>2738026im withdrawing my dick from ur mothers snatch u faggot
>>2738207She's trans btw.
>>2736379Peru has this weird national park that's on a slope, as you climb from east to west you go from Amazon tropical jungle, to the mountains, alpine territory shit, all in the same park. Trippy shit I recommend.
>>2737830$100 + vomiting and writhing on the floor is a small price to pay for a life-changing spiritual experience desu, and that's what most people report. Unfortunately I didn't quite get those benefits, but it's still a fun story

>Last Thread: >>2720096>Dead coaster edition>What is this thread? Why are there two generals?/rcg/ was initially created as a way for the roller coaster enthusiasts on here to discuss all things roller coasters and theme parks. While roller coasters are the main focus of these threads (and the title of the general) there is also discussion on other theme parks, their rides, as well as the parks themselves and trip planning too. That's where /tpg/ comes in.>Can I talk about Disney/Universal parks in this thread?Absolutely! Disney discussion of all sorts including rides/resorts/dining/trip planning is OK.Thread Tip Pro: Ride every coaster every year, as it may be gone next week.Park Crowd Tracker:>https://queue-times.com/en-US/parksRoller Coaster Database:Comment too long.

>>2738567Having not been there, I'll say either the cool industrial steel mill aesthetic you can see from Phantom's Revenge or the clear shot of Lake Erie from the top of Dragster.
>>2738567A few arguably better flying coasters have been made since, but none quite replicate that feeling of soaring above a mountain with nothing but the vest preventing you from falling to your death.
>>2738584Don't forget the road where you can see the surrounding hills upside down
>>2738587>the roadMeant the roll, don't know how I fucked up that bad
>>2738567Wildfire at Silver Dollar City and practically everything at Cedar Point that's over 100ft. Valravn after the lift hill when it turns around to drop gives you a really nice view of everything on the peninsula and the water surrounding it.
I'm planning a trip to Japan for February.Never flown out the country by myself, so I'm looking into getting tickets, what are some ways to fly cheaply? I know booking months in advance helps but is there anything else I'm overlooking?
>>2735517Check for an app called Hopper, it's free and absolutely finds you the best price, it even helps you select the cheapest dates and lets you know if prices will keep rising or falling and when you should buy (for free). I use that, it's great.Jusy don't use the "freeze price" option, that's the scammy part. They charge you a shitload of money for that option and they don't even really freeze the price.
google flights pick the cheapest one that you can toleratetry to arrive in the afternoon/late afternoon so you have enough time to get through the airport and arrive at your hotel before the trains stop running
>>2735522When are you trying to fly, where are flying from, and what class are you looking at?
>>2737834Willing to bet you're the same anon from the new(ish) credit card thread. I'm the same anon that's going from KC to Japan at Some Point™ next year.
>>2737834>>2738473Oh man, didn't realize this was 2 days old. Sorry, I was in Arkansas for 2 days checking out the JLPT.
