Thoughts on Mexico City? I need to use a week of vacation and figured it might be a cool city to go to. I like regular touristfag stuff, drinking too much, getting laid, I’m a total normie.
>>2919442It's pretty nice, but as a single guy I'd recommend Colombia instead
>>2919442>I need to use a week of vacation and figured it might be a cool city to go to. I like regular touristfag stuff, drinking too much, getting laid, I’m a total normie.So here's the plan:>2 days India>2 days Appalachia>2 days Singapore>1 day flyingThis is the standard /trv/ approved 7 day vacation circuit.
>>2919442Have you tried walking in slums? I heard Mexican slums are nice for walking and this time of year
It's okay desu, a bit overrated which I assume comes from libtards chimping out over trump.

Do airlines even check the weight of those?
>>2917597they check your carryon but dont really check your personal item sometimes. as long as its small
>>2917435A light bag is a super power, get some quick dry clothes and you can just carry 2 sets, wear them a few days and wash in the sink they dry overnight
>>2917597It depends on the airline and airport and is completely random. I've almost never seen it done. Budget airlines do it a lot more than legacy airlines.

>>2914888>>2914904it just sounds like typical florida summertime rain where there's a thunderstorm every fucking day at 4pm
>>2919404Yep. Similar climate patterns its just more extreme being close to the equator. The heat of the day absorbs water vapor until its too heavy and cools off and then the heavens fall

Anyone have experience working as a flight attendant? Thinking about quitting my current job and becoming one. I hear that the pay can be garbage on the first year and you'll be away from friends and family, obviously. However it seems like a good way to travel the world for relatively cheap.
>>2917334>India, etc all surpassing us as we shoot ourselves in the face with AI. I'm just tired bosss...Appalachian bricshitter detected
It's a very depressing job that takes years to finally be treated as a human being, and even there it's a very dysfunctional lifestyle.On the other side, never date a woman who's flight attendant, she will 100% cheat on you. Sex is rampant because it's their only way to ''enjoy life' and pilots/other male attendants will be hitting on her 24/7 even if they know she's married with kids.Being stuck in hotels with limited time to ''rest'' and male coworkers being starved dogs almost always ends with crazy things. My friend is a pilot and told me he fucked a ton of married women from his crew rotations with very little effort which explains why the divorce rate is insanely high for this profession.
Imagine being such an underpaid person while still paying union fees simply to spend 1-2 days abroad
>>2916667I took the CDL pill and I'm making 1.5/wk in my first month. It sucks ass but it's one of the only jobs a low tier wagie can quit and find new work on demand. That's why I'm doing it. Plus all of the piss stained truck stops in America are just outside my front door.
>>2917292holy shit you're retardedflight attendant is one of the gayest professions for menAIDS patient zero in america was literally a male flight attendant
Discuss travel to Costa Rica and other Central American countries here.October is rainy season, so ominous storms with plentiful lightning are a regular occurrence throughout the region.
Walking downtown I took a road through a modernized corridor full of American goyslop franchises. There were a few homeless, but the streets were mostly empty of people. Downtown has a lot of crumbling old buildings. I stopped by a neighborhood bar full of exuberant people. Even the bartenders were drinking and getting rowdy in the spirit of a Costa Rica Saturday night. A beer was $3 and shrimp ceviche was $7.50, both lower prices than in the tourist areas. No extra charges on the menu price either.But outside it only got bleaker as I looped around on a different set of streets. The infamous Coca Cola bus terminal is homeless druggie central, with trash strewn everywhere and drug dealers shouting across the street at me. No street poop, interestingly. My throry is that the missing sidewalk grates every few blocks are used as toilets. Panama City was also rough, but the streets had plenty of vendors doing legit business even at 10 pm. Here in Costa Rica sidewalk vending is illegal, so with all the shops shuttered the streets felt really ghetto. Only the bars were full of alcohol-fueled happiness. I didn't see any single women in the neighborhood bars, mainly couples. The nightclubs seemed mostly dead at 9 pm...zoomies don't come out til much later.Panama City was of course warmer and more humid than San Jose, but it had a lovely oceanfront promenade. Its business district also looked more impressive. And everything was cheaper for a budget traveler than San Jose.
The price chart shows a steady increase in spending as this trip went on. Averages will be computed at day's end tomorrow.
This is the current breakdown. With only ¢7550 ($16) to spend tomorrow, I will have to skimp.
It's cold in the USA. Winter is already here, browning the leaves on the trees. No cute girls in belly tops to be seen here. Next stop, Peru.Total spend in-country: $822 or $41 per dayLodging: $335 for 11 nights hostel & 8 nights hotel - $17.64 per dayFood: $339 - $17 per day with no cooking734 km covered on 23 bus rides to 16 different places: $59.50Beer: $55Laundry: $33.50Cell service: UnnecessaryTours: Unnecessary

ive been in romania for about a month now. been alright, in sibiu right now, decent town. i much prefer it to bucharest, i thought bucharest was designed shite and wasnt really a city i enjoyed to be in. Brasov was cool. I was talking to a guy dressed in traditional clothing and he told me this is a german town which i guess is cool. a lot of organ meat dishes in romania which im trying to get used to with my irish palette. getting kind of bored now in this country, what have you guys been up to, wheres your next destination or are you already in it? i have a few more pictures from romania if anyones interested in seeing them. yeah. dont know where to go to next. the english proficiency here isnt bad. Im having a much better time with people than rural france.
thanks for sharing OP>>2918907>keep posting about your trip anon, Romania is listed as safer than France by the Australian governmentromania is really a safe country, as most scum emigrated its now in the top worldwide for safetyits poor, a different kind of shithole, but its not violent place at all
what do you think of the girls OP? are they goodlooking in general? easygoing?
>>2918923So desolate. Are all small Romanian cities this empty?
>>2919306Safety does not include having your stuff stolen. Pickpocketing and thieving is a much worse problem in Romania than most other European countries. And in other countries it's often Romanians doing the thieving.
>>2919306>as most scum emigrated itsThis is a fact and true of all eastern Europe. Criminals all went to Britain, France, Italy and spain where they are allowed to steal from tourists. You just never feel safe in western Europe compared to eastern Europe
Any one here ever been to road side attraction that no longer exist like Guntown Mountain in Cave City Kentucky? Other places the come to kind is Ghost Town in the Sky in Maggie Valley NC. These places are cool to look at history or stuff like this still sitting there rotting. Kind of a creepy eerie vibe.
>>2914174Weird how Mexicans were a novelty in the 70s and now they are half the population
Does anyone like watching urban explorer videos? I love it when they go to abandoned theme/water parks. Will do it myself but don’t have the time and moneyhttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IY-DCWXzbh4&pp=ygUVR2hvc3QgdG93biBpbiB0aGUgc2t5&ra=mhttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FV3sHLqjOZU&pp=ygUfZXhwbG9yaW5nIHdpdGggam9zaCB3YXRlciBwYXJrcw%3D%3D&ra=m

I grew up in 1990s having some Indian friends and I ended up liking their food and even their Bollywood stuff. I want to take my wife (and 5yo child) to India this fall/winter, but wife is poisoned by anti-Indian stuff that took over the internet.I have 1 shot to change her mind. Can be all-inclusive vacation in some resort as long as nobody shits on the beach and we're not puking our guts out.How something like Goa or Kerala compares to something like Mombasa or Zanzibar?
>>2919316Try to get into Northeast India
>>2919321I heard Sri Lanka is India light and that's the 2nd option. I was wondering if there's actual India experience that is also decent and relatively family friendly.
>>2919325Any particular recommendations?
>>2919329The whole area is entirely different from regular India, the people are a separate race and religion and speak English as their main language. The only downside is you need a permit to go there, even jeets need a permit so there's not that many. Look up Manipur or Kohima etc
>>2919316taking a kid to india is a bit of a challenge anonbut if it must be done i suggest doing something like renting a houseboat in kerala and floating around the waterways for a bitkerala is a bit more civilised than most indian states. they have a higher standard of living, better education etc
Quick Start Guide for First Timers:Visa: Most countries get 90 days visa-free. Check if you need an eVisa or ARC if staying longer. Fill out your arrival card online before arriving for less stress.Best Time: Oct–Dec for perfect weather (dry season). Avoid July–Sept typhoon season unless you like rain and chaos.Getting Around: Taipei MRT is clean, cheap, and efficient as fuck. Youbike only needs an easy card and is essentially free unless you want to ride for hours.High Speed Rail (HSR) for city hopping (Taipei Kaohsiung in ~1.5h).Scooters are god outside Taipei. Get an international permit if you plan to ride.Uber works but taxis are cheap. Avoid during rush hour or rain.Food:Night markets are mandatory. Shilin, Raohe, Ningxia, etc.Must eats: Beef noodle soup, stinky tofu (acquired taste), oyster omelettes, bubble tea (original homeland), pineapple cake, mango shaved ice. All you can eat hotpot also.7-11 and FamilyMart are better than in most countries, you can live off them if you want.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

>>2919315yes, white culture can be a terrifying nightmare

If you're a rugged /out/ type who would rather fish and hunt than do literally anything else you'd probably enjoy it. If you ever want to date/start a family and/or if you're not ultra outdoorsy you'll hate it Everyone is an alcoholic or on drugs. Everyone. It's the most beautiful place in the world a few months out of the year and a depressing dark hellhole the rest of the year. Even in the gorgeous summer the mosquitos are so bad it sucks if you're a person mosquitos are attracted to

There exists programs called Birthright Israel, which give ethnic Jews worldwide a free 10-day trip to Israel to connect with Judaism. I'm not Jewish religiously (Catholic) but my mom's mom is Jewish so I qualify for a free trip.Should I do it just for the free vacation? The cutoff is 27 and I'm 25 right now, so I'd have to do it in the next year-and-a-half and I'm not exactly sure how safe it will be in that period. Btw for my background I've never been outside the US and Canada and only speak English, so I'm definitely not experienced when it comes to international travel.

Israeli government has spent more than $1.2 billion on propaganda and SEO hacking, targeting international audiences including the United States. This includes a record 2026 national budget allocation of 2.35 billion shekels (~$730 million) specifically to manipulate political left and right from hating Israel, representing a fivefold increase from pre-war levels [1][2][3]. These funds support movies, tv-series, social media campaigns, search engine SEO manipulation, influencer partnerships, online websites, communities, forums, groups etc. propaganda/manipulation, AI/LLM model training data manipulation, and foreign agent registrations under U.S. law [4][5]. Despite this unprecedented spending, polling indicates the campaign has not reversed declining favorability: as of July 2026, 62% of Americans held an unfavorable view of the Israeli government, up from prior years [6]. Globally, disapproval of Israel’s military conduct in Gaza remains high (median 78% across 24 countries in late 2023), though attitudes vary significantly by region and do not support claims of universal or near-universal hatred among any demographic group [7]. While the scale of Israel’s influence operations is well-documented, attributing all positive online commentary to paid actors is unsubstantiated; organic support persists alongside state-funded messaging.

So many greasy weebs, 300 lb hulking white foids, mixed race couples of every combination you can imagine, boomers , gooners, nigs, spics, Arabs, and presumably a few japs all in a boardwalk type setting of crappy arcade style pew pew games.
