I am going to travel through japan and asked chatgpt to make an itinerary for me.

I will arrive in tokyo (I've already booked the flight).
This is probably the only time that I will be in japan so I want this trip to be good. I wanted to focus more on landscapes.
The question I have for you if this trip is feasible. I speak not a word of Japanese. I don't intend to use the JR rail pass as it is to expensive.

The core of my question is if I have to book all the train / bus tickets beforehand of if I can just buy them locally. I was wondering if there is any centralized place where I can book busses for Japan. Are there any Japanese people that can help? Also general review of this itinerary if I am visitng the nicest places to visit.

on an unrelated note. I have to take two normal captchas to even unlock the 15 minute timer to get the real captcha. How is bullshit like that possible. making people wait 15 minutes just to post is so retarded. I'll post the chatgpt itinerary in responses.

If you want to enjoy the scenery in Japan, the best way to travel is by train. You can estimate the train route, time schedule, and cost of your trip in advance.
There are many different train routes to choose from, but if you value the scenery and nature, the important thing is the time of year. When will you travel? Are you planning to see the places after the cherry blossoms have fallen?
Scenic train routes include the Tadami Line, Koumi Line, Iida Line, Takayama Main Line, and Kisei Main Line. You can enjoy any train route that runs through the mountains. If you want to enjoy the scenery, it is better to avoid using the Shinkansen.
>>
>>2759948
Please note that there are almost no train routes available around Mt. Fuji. You should think about how to get to your desired location. In extreme cases, if you try to go from the Mt. Fuji area to Nagano, you will realize that it would be better to go back to Tokyo once.
Depending on the season, renting a car temporarily is a good option. For example, you can go from Nikko to Lake Chuzenji by car. The road to Lake Chuzenji is a famous spot for viewing autumn leaves. In that case, you will probably rent a car in Utsunomiya and return it there. In this case, it is important to avoid holidays, otherwise you will be stuck in traffic.
You can buy train tickets at the station. If you have any problems, ask a station attendant. If you want to use an express or limited express train, you will need to make a reservation, but you can also make a reservation at the station.

Best Nyotaimori place in Tokyo? Else somewhere else?

Even if the police weren't involved, I'd imagine the health department eventually would.
>>
>>2759572
There are no restaurants that offer Nyotaimori.
The guide who receives the client's request coordinates the location, personnel, food, etc.
There is no market price for Nyotaimori, and the price is determined by the guide's price.
If you want to experience Nyotaimori, the quickest way is to hire a Japan-based guide from your country.

In the past, four officers of the Hokkaido branch of the Junior Chamber of Commerce and Industry, who organized nyotaimori, were arrested by the police and expelled from the Junior Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and the incident was widely reported in the media.

How good would the actual food taste? Obviously the draw is that you're eating it off a naked woman's body, but how good is the food itself? Thing about gimmick/meme foods is that a lot of them prioritize the gimmick too much, and skimp on the food quality.

I'm going next week. Gonna spend a day in San Juan then either go to Fajardo or Ponce for a few days, Will also be hiking / snorkeling around. But not exactly sure where. I just want to go somewhere that has good authentic food.
>>
>>2758023
>>2758648
What's the actual budget, how long will you be staying? If I know your daily budget I can actually give you a very detailed set of spots to go to. Generally though:
>Old San Juan on Saturdays for nightlife, San Sebastian St is peak, especially around La Factoria. El Convento has some spots nearby too like El Batey for a nice dive. Casa de Montecristo for kino cigar lounge but pricey. If you go Friday it will not be as alive or fun. Do not go to La Perla, it's basically the only crime spot in Old SJ.
>La Placita en Santurce on Friday, specifically hit up La Penultima. Santaella is a great restaurant here.
>Condado and Miramar are ok, Condado being a much better spot to hang at, but La Placita basically stole Condado's nightlife on Fridays. Casino del Mar is not bad, $5 minimums for every table game.
Fajardo is a nice daytrip if you hop on a catamaran to Palomino or Icacos and has the bio bay kayak tour as a nighttime bonus, but Fajardo itself is just boring. Ponce is kind of the same deal, catamaran from there or Salinas to Caja de Muerto, and you'll want to overnight at La Parguera for the bio bay there. All of these are great for snorkeling, hiking you'll basically have to do the Yunque rainforest (book tickets ahead of time or you're cucked) or the Dry Forest in Guanica, but that's more pseudo-desert.

For authentic food, lechonerias in Cayey like Guavate or El Cuñao are decent, lower cost family owned spots that specialize in spit roasted pork and local dishes. Cayo Caribe or La Cuevita del Mar are solid for fried red snapper or a seafood mofongo. You can also budgetmax by getting a cheap airbnb in Palmas del Mar, doing a costco food and booze stockup, and beach bumming with beer and rum all day while grilling up food in the interim but its got no nightlife, its family focused rich people central. If you want more of a hotel beach bum stay, any big name hotel in Rio Grande should work but that can get pricey quickly.
>>
>>2759701
The preferred local cut of beef is Churrasco (Skirt Steak), Mofongo is a must have (stuffed, not the bullshit plain side dish), tostones are a great side or app, amarillos are sweet plaintain caramelized on a frying pan. Seafood is great, but fried red snapper is GOAT for value, local lobster is kino but pricey. Morcillas are great. Fried pork chops are a popular plate, rice and beans are common but rice and longaniza (chorizo like sausage) is better. A tripleta sandwich is unbeatable as drunk food and tons of food trucks will make it in southern streets of old SJ.

If you go to el Yunque you should stop at las pailas for a natural water slide, fun and short stop. There's a lot of spanish influence in our cuisine so spots like La Bodeguita de Manolo (speakeasy type hidden inside of the SOBAO sandwich shops) or Bodegas Compostela are great (the latter being very expensive though). Most spots I'd recommend will be expensive since I'm not poor, but you could try hanging around Calle Loiza in Condado for a ton of local food/bars. Food in general tends to be pretty good in most places serving local stuff, because its not really hard to make our typical dishes.

Ron del Barrilito is the preferred rum for an old fashioned/neat pour, and its ALWAYS Don Q over Bacardi. Medalla/Magna are trash, do Ocean Labs and FOK for local beers (which are all sold in gas stations btw).
>>
>>2758032
A lot of crime is gang violence and is avoidable. If you don't ever go into residenciales/caserios you can avoid a good majority of it. Touristy areas are generally quite safe, and when you're in more locals only spots, you just want to stick to highly populated areas and you'll be ok. You don't really want to be walking backstreets in Miramar/Santurce, but if you follow the crowd to La Placita/Calle Cerra and the main streets of most spots you'll be fine.
>>2758636
Quick tl;dr: Statehood party is a major party for a reason: Actual US patriotism, gibsmedat moneygrubbers, or local pride peeps who want full rights as US citizens, and they all hate their party because they're corrupt retards. The "Stay as is" party predictably wants things to stay the same, and they all hate their party because they're corrupt retards. The Independents were a meme until Bad Bunny endorsements boosted them to 2nd place in a miracle election, they're retards who listen to soon-to-be corrupt moron politicians (because they've never been voted in lol) who are so pro independence that most own a home in Florida to flee to after they fuck up the country even further (mass starvation with a worthless currency given we only produce enough food to feed like 10% of population). Cant slash government welfarism, and they refuse to redraw municipal lines to get rid of 70+ mini local governments into bigger ones with centralized organization, especially since all 70+ local govs are corrupt and pocket millions of dollars while hiring friends for gov contract work.
>economy would be more fucked

Okay so I've moved to Spain for the next three months, I made good with crypto during the last cycle and wanted to escape neetdom in my own country to neetdom in another.

I've been to Spain several times, my ex is Spanish, I did workaways here during the pandemic and walked a Camino a couple of years ago so I know the country quite well however, each of those times I had a reason to be here. I'm in a region where I haven't spent much time previously, know nobody and have nothing to do other than walk around the city, read and workout. I'm a bit of a sperg but not a complete lost cause, I also speak Spanish fairly fluently although Andalus speak in this bizarre dialect that even I have trouble comprehending.

All of this established, what do you recommend I do /trv/? I've been here for a little over a week and am starting to realise I need to socialise, but being medio autista, chatting up strangers is not my forte.

Any tips /trv/?

Might add, I used dating apps when solo travelling in other places because I'm not unfuckable but I quit them for good a few years back.

Not sure what I could do really, I already have a lot of hobbies, probably too many.

I'm visiting København right now. I woke up at 4 this morning to get a good leg workout in before the cinnamon roll shop opened up, and I hurt my back a bit, not too bad, I'm just getting old. I was wondering, it's nine in the morning now, if I started drinking ales now out of a horn and eat a village's worth of marinerede sild, would I be one of those people that the histrionic overtourism faggots cry about.

Agoraphobia. Coupled with other traits I possess, I can be misconstrued as being autistic.

I imagine kbh might be a good city for agoraphobics with it's low population density.
If you don't have autism it might not matter much, but there is this free club where you can eat dinner and partake in different group activities like DnD, drawing or just watching football in the tv room all day.

I'm going to visit China (from Russia) for the first time with my mom this August, the budget is around 2k euro for 2 weeks. What are some comfy resort towns for just relaxing, sort of like for what people usually go to SEA but in China? Picrel is the list I got on /int/ some time ago.

kaifeng is a strange suggestion as it is not impressive nor a one of the best ancient towns. chinese might like it because they either are relatively local or they have been to the other better places to see ancient china.
Qingdao is really quite small and i would say tht unless you were living in shandong it would not be worth visiting qingdao. i went there after working in beijing and spent a week there including a chinese tour up the famous mountain Lao Shan and a trip to the aquarium. it was too long but i wasn't pushed for time.

>>2759168
this "skip the forbidden city" suggestion is the most ridiculous thing i have seen on /trv/ and you should dismiss whatever that person was saying as they are weak minded and probably weak bodied. tiananmen square is just a square with building on the sides and the tiananmen gate so besides going to visit the square and say you have been there is nothing to do there but look around it. but the forbidden city is one of the best places you will visit in your life if you spend the time to go around it properly and look and read about what you are looking at.

if you want a tourist resort for sunbathing and relaxing then you should look at Hainan. you could look at Xishuangbanna which is very inland but it is the chinese version of Thailand and has holiday resorts but i can't speak to them.

don't try to save money taking the old slow trains, take the high speed trains or you are wasting your time. it is false economy to spend a day of your holiday on a shitty train to save $30.

honestly if it is your first time in china i would suggest shanghai, hangzhou, yellow mountain, nanjing, suzhou gardens and water town, and then fast train to beijing. this is prime china and can be done easily on the train.
>>
>>2759861
>Hainan
Isn't it the most expensive place in China after Shanghai though?
>yellow mountain, suzhou gardens and water town
Got these, thanks. It looks like I really better visit several historical cities instead of mere sunbathing.
>beijing
Seems it's really a must-to-visit city, though I personally don't like capitals at all. Any other tips about what to do there?
>shanghai, nanjing
What are these for in the list? Hangzhou is there for its West Lake, right? Would it be reasonable to skip these and go Beijing -> Suzhou -> Huangshan -> Beijing?

Whats up /trv/, have any of you travelled the baltics at all? I am considering doing them in a big trip (I will be unemployed so the amount of time isn't really an issue). I would probably include Kalingrad and maybe even Belarus so some information about either would be great.

I think I would start in Helsinki and work my way south

I am unsure on what time of the year I will visit but obviously if its winter it probably won't be much outdoorsy stuff. Helsinki wouldn't be for too long I get the vibe it is more of a get out of the city type country so I would do it properly another time,

>There is a <10% chance you'll do this after seeing visa requirements or the 50/50 chance you get in at the CBP station with anything but a Eastern European passport.

I may sound naive here but I researched and I do not need a visa to visit Belarus (Australian citizen) unless I am missing something? Hoping by the same I go that the war is over so I can also visit Russia properly.

>>2759304
Activities like sailing a lake etc is kind of the stuff I am after, visiting cities, small towns, and if there were cool outdoor experiences that would be great, weirdly enough I am really into cooking classes of local dishes in each country I visit.

the ferry was like 2 hours from Helsinki to Tallinn. Was actually a really nice ship with bars restauarants luxury shopping etc. Kind of like a cruise ship.

I haven't been to Kalingrad im just guessing that a country currently at odds with the West will be risky to visit but you can probably do it. Idk it doesn't seem worth it to me. Spend more time in Tallinn and Riga with those days imo. Riga I spent 3 days in and really felt that I needed more. Probably one of the best walkable cities i've ever been to. If you like the look of Tallinn you'll love Riga too.
Vilnius I didnt have time for but really want to make it back to visit bc I hear good things.
