I would just go around pointing at the locals and shouting "NAZIS!", and "You want to kill all the Jews!" and see if they lose their cool.

Montreux + chateau Chillon

Take a bus ride to Chamonix. Go see Mount Blanc. I'd also highly recommend going to Annecy. Geneva is insanely boring.

Also Geneva isn't in canton Vaud.

>because the prospect of figuring out how to live alone in a strange place is too daunting for you to envision.
we live in the information and technology age, with smart phones and instant internet access, to find locations and solve problems in foreign countries, just going to a foreign country is not a brag or impressive

>>2873763
The point of travelling is exactly the opposite- to escape dogshit culture you're born into and the weather. Aka actually to find comfort and escape.

>>2874127
Nobody is bragging about the feat of stepping off an airplane. It's what you do after you leave the airport that matters.

Yes

That's what quality of life is- pleasure.

i have an old castle in ireland but it isn't much these days.

>>2873843
Tullamore Dew of all the distilleries? OK then...
For castles there's Trim, Kilkenny, Bunratty, Blarney and a bunch in around Dublin which are less important.
Apart from that the standard sights you'll see recommended anywhere and maybe since you're looking at castles you might as well look at round towers and abbeys.

Some of the country estates are nice. Mount Juliet and Adare, stuff like that.

>How has alcohol enhanced your /trv/ days? Any stories? Any major fuck ups?
Stand up comedy is always better with a little predrink. Plan ahead in Vegas or similar.

I mostly travel to visit wineries and go to wine related shit when I travel. My first real solo trip was to Spain and even though I was alone in a place where I didn't know anything outside of basic words that a baby could say I had a blast although I want to go out more at night the next time I'm there but I worried about getting drunk outside of the hostel or hotel room and getting into trouble so I just used the day to visit wineries and go hiking. I was in France recently with friends but want to go back solo, especially to the Pyrenees areas once I can dedicate time to actually learn French. The wine there from smaller producers was stupidly good for like 8-10 euros. Even the pricier shit was almost always worth it although Spain had slightly better pricing for the quality especially in the Canary Islands. Japan or Greece will probably be my next wine trip, the former because I've had a lot of cool shit from Hokkaido and Nagano lately and want to learn more and actually visit Japan finally.

Who do you even talk to at a winery? I always get gay baby shower vibes when I see pictures of them. Like, how do you get pussy?

I've been an alcoholic for 12 years and I've traveled to 25 countries by now. I could write a whole blogpost about trying to get alcohol during ramadan in Turkey, about the logistics of making sure you have enough booze everyday and airport shenanigans, about social inhibition abroad, about the good times I had getting hammered in Germany, Serbia and China, about how you shouldn't underestimate homemade Albanian raki, about how much I love Korean makgeolli and Armenian pomegranate wine...

But I'm bumping this thread because this morning, I've experienced one of the scariest moments of my solo traveling career ever: alcohol withdrawal started kicking in this morning, and I couldn't get cash at most ATMs.
I was shaking, sweating like a pig (the warm humid weather of SEA didn't help), every noise and smell was unbearable and everything around me looked hostile even though people were completely normal.
I thought I was going to die until I finally found a working ATM. Now, after 20cl of vodka, I feel normal and good in my shoes, but this probably tainted my impression of the country forever.

Alcohol is very fun, until it isn't, so don't fuck around too much with it.
If you are an alcoholic fuckhead like me, make sure you buy a bottle of strong liquor in a duty-free shop before taking an airplane, because you never know what might happen once you land and at least you will have something to fall back onto before you can fix your own situation.
I'm not even sure if I could have figured out how to send money to myself with Western Union while doing thru full-blown withdrawal.

I will perhaps post some funnier stories later.

Right, so basically I got a full highly detailed rundown of requirements and "kit" standards, and how to go about finding an organization or club to get entry as a reenactor. You cant just show up.

Anyways my point is that its a very specific question that almost nobody has knowledge off except for a small cohort who likely arent even on 4chan. If you want a thread about traveling to events of this sort maybe consider getting the info first, laying it out, then asking if anyone else is interested.

>>2872104
I asked AI too, but I wanted to talk with someone about this experience in personal. Anyway, thank you!

>Jorvik Viking festival
no clue about that one

but my medieval town and nearby castle always organize a big ren fair (Mittelalterfestival)
combination of a big, casual arts and crafts market throughout the historical city center and a strict larp / tournament in the castle

and to get into the castle (as a non-spectator)
you only need a very minimal outfit that fits the aesthetic
obviously it's a lot cooler if you come with more
but simple leather shoes, doublet or shirt and wide heavy pants are already enough as long as the colors are not too vibrant and it's mostly (rough) linen / wool / leather / fur

the simplest outfit is probably a long (linen) tunic with leather belt and boots

honestly just write the organizers an email and ask about it

Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

They have a faq on their website.

Tl;dr you need to be part of a known club or organization that enforces setting standards, since it's a "strict" reenactment, and its important that everyone knows the rules for interaction.

YORK not Jorvik. Please don't use Danish place names for UK cities. Let's use the local names!

"Tens of thousands" is Chinese for "unspecified amount but really a lot", just so you know. That'd be quite astonishing to actually kill so many cats, you'd need to religiously cut through dozens a day and it'd still take you years.

>Best cities in China to visit
Beijing, Xi'an, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Chongqing, Kunming
>cheap apartments
any small city or far out from the city centre. As a foreigner you can't own property, you will have to rent or partner with a local to buy it. Also good luck staying there.
>what are Chinese women like
95% of them are incredibly vapid and boring but you can probably fuck them with ease
>their own internet separate from ours
yes but everything filters over there eventually
>easy to learn the language
not very easy but also not super hard once you learn how to learn it, if that makes sense
>is it difficult to live there
if you don't speak Chinese: yes
if you do speak Chinese: not very difficult

Why do you need a vacation to go to a movie theater?
Why are you going to Hamilton? That's not a vacation spot

>>2874060
>Why do you need a vacation to go to a movie theater?
I'm not going on vacation only to go to a theatre, the theatre is apart of my vacation plans.
>Why are you going to Hamilton?I live in Hamilton but i also said around the area, as is, places close by to me.
And besides, the vacation is simply too get away from the house for a while, nothing grand.

>Any tips?
do not respond to people on the street asking you things, no matter how polite they are. at the best just say "sorry, no" but really just keep it moving

Anyone ever been to G-Fest?
Was thinking of going this year and seeing Chicago in the meantime, but I'd really only have 2 days, one for the convention, and one to do anything else. Idk if it's worth it (I'd have to fly about 2 hours, ~$400 for ticket)

>>2873948
Rosemont has that giant convention center.
Park Ridge has the birthplace of Hillary Clinton.

Avoid interacting with black people. Like the other guy says, ignore them if they try talking to you, but also run away if they are moving to approach you. I am not joking.

This is especially true in the late evenings and after dark. Just walk the fuck away even if you have to turn around. Run if they pursue. Keep track of nearby stores you can duck into, like Starbucks or car dealerships or whatever.

There was a recent video on Twitter of some semi-elderly couple walking to their car on Lower Wacker Drive after leaving some event. Some homeless black dirtbag approached making comments to them. The man told the dirtbag to back the fuck off, and his fucking retarded wife grabbed onto her husband. What neither of them seemed to ever notice during the whole thing was that the black homeless dirtbag had a knife in one hand that he was holding sorta behind his hip.

Somewhat related, there was a "social justice major" college student who apparently didn't get the memo, and she went wandering around there some summer evening I think last summer. Anyway, she got knifed to death by one of her pets, and nothing of value was lost.

The blacks in Chicongo will absolutely fucking kill you if you give them half a chance.

>>2873901
I liked Glen Clova and Dunnottar Castle

Spend at least one day in Edinburgh. City is gorgeous.

The Hebrides and Orkneys are starkly beautiful with more sheep than people and some amazing Neolithic sites. Be prepared for wet windy weather, but if you live the outdoors it’s some of the best nature in Western Europe. You can get a similar vibe in the Highlands if you don’t have time for the ferry ride.

Thailand was great for me... 15 years ago. Do your research but I recommend it

>>2873215
I heard Poland and Hungary are good for teeth. Turkey is catching up. I thought about going to Turkey to fix my crappy hair too.

>>2873215
>>2873364
Thailand was ok for me. Downsides are (1) they love to inflict pain on patients (same as about half the dentists in the U.S.), and (2) they pushed the "you're grinding your teeth" scam on me and talked me into a custom mouthguard. Don't fall for the mouthguard scam, Anon. Learn from my mistake.

>>2873215
I done it, there’s more scammers and inexperienced dentists. The only way to know if there legit is by visiting them, asking questions, then consider.

Yeah, lurking around the fringes of the channel seems the likely choice. Only one bridge across the channel, so walking options are very limited. Eventually end up at the Samesun hostel in Santa Monica for the 3 PM check-in, then after checking out make my way back to downtown LA for a 5 PM departure by train.

The California desert is awfully bleak. You might think it's cool if you crave solitude, but being in a landscape almost totally devoid of greenery is very depressing when compared to the fragrant brushy hills and gentle marine breezes of the coast. You smoke weed, then sit in your car and stare into empty space, surrounded by absolute nothingness. Drive aimlessly, burning that $7/gallon California gasoline, and wish for time to go faster, because the day lasts forever when there is nothing but bare brown earth and creosote bush to see.

The best stuff in the LA are the hikes. Go to Sierra Madre and hike Chantry Flats to Sturtevant falls. Switzer falls is an amazing hike. The Mishe Mokwa trail a little further out is insane. Escondido Falls is a good one.

Do Not Rent lists are serious business, last a lifetime, and is chain wide (global). The only way to resolve it is to grovel, beg, and ultimately pay restitution to the chain in question.

Sounds like you were being a constant annoyance with all these petty issues. Unless you were paying $20/night to stay there, you should've assumed that detergent, cooking oil and other supplies were included in the payment.

>>2873382
I always bring my own cooking oil + "sink suds" little packets of detergent they are meant for hand washing but work fine in airbnb machines and more importantly have no smell I hate perfumed detergent and most airbnbs only have the scented stuff.

>>2873382
if i was being a constant annoyance why did he keep offering to do stuff for us

Hosts are just short term landlords, they are trying to scam you and they have spy cams in there to blackmail you with.

Treat them like hotels. You don't need to clean anything, and you don't pay for shit unless you actually completely wrecked the room.

Negative reviews can affect you renting in the future. Some hosts will refuse to rent to you if they see “dirty” or other certain trigger words in your reviews. lel

I’ve had a one negative review and an ambiguously sounding one saying some bullshit like I didn’t clean the kitchen sink before I left (no rule about it) while using it in Asia. Had some chinese bitch years ago leave me the negative review because I supposedly left one of the bedrooms “smelling dirty.” It was during the summer and I didn’t see any rule to wash the comforter & bedsheets and such or leave a window open before I left and she never asked me to. I think it was partly revenge on her part for me getting a tad ‘crass’ with her when I first checked in because I couldn’t find the apartment and I said I would report her if she was trying to scam me or something to that effect. I was a little paranoid.

Tl;dr: Negative reviews will affect renting in the future. Try to clean up a bit before you leave an airbnb and try not to be an annoyance to the host. Consider maybe not even bothering to write them a review so they can’t write one for you. kek
