What are some good solo travel destinations to visit in the Canary Islands?Some bars and nightlife would be nice to have, but I would still like to avoid places that have been overrun by tourists. I speak Spanish (so-so) and can rent a car if necessary.
Is it actually worth visiting this country or is it just being shilled on Instagram?
>>2734892They have heating but only via electric AC so if you stay in it all winter your skin gets completely dried out. But I dont think it would matter for short term trip. Also really depends where in the south you're talking about because "South" China means everything from Nanjing down. So you could be talking about below freezing and snowing (Nanjing) or US PNW type weather, mild/rainy (Shanghai) or lolwut winter?-tier 90 and sunny (Guangdong)
>>2734897I heard it from Chinese people.
>>2734901Same shit.I saw people there wearing fucking coats
>>2734902True.
How's the dating scene? I see a lot of people talk about scams. Moving long term so curious
Indonesia thread. Indonesians
How's the place for cooming?
>>2734205It's that schizo again with his sex tourism threads

>>2734973Indo women are cute though
Is it too late to plan a trip to EU for post-thanksgiving? I have never traveled abroad but I am getting burnt out of my healthcare job and considering getting away for a few weeks. I am considering Prague, Salzburg, and somewhere in Italy/slovenia. Is it possible to wing this kind of thing and just stay at Airbnbs/hostels? I just ordered about 5k euros and was considering just getting a train pass and just going. Feel free to say I'm retarded.
>>2734044TereI lived there 2012-2014 and I miss hanging about at Mad Murphy's and Highlander. I heard Nimeta is still there
>>2734837Take a day and spend it in Bratislava, then go to Salzburg
>>2734157Bunch of zoomers who have never stepped outside their hometown in their lives.
>>2734914They're all still there and they are pretty much the same as they were 10 years ago. They're pretty comfy places to get a drink in a cold winter's night and pretty easy to meet new people. You should come back to visit.
>>2734146>Poland and the Baltics are by far a better travel experience than Germany.I'm from Poland, visited Germany for tourism dozens of times and you're out of your mind
Do you live in the Caribbean? Wish to visit the Caribbean? Post about the region itt

Any tips on my itenirary here? Will be my first solo trip abroad. Tried to mix a variety of locations with not getting burnt out with overtraveling
I would pass on Lyon and possibly even Geneva to spend more time in the countryside. Reims, Colmar, Nancy might be worth a stop. Two days in Strasbourg instead of 3.
>GenevaThought it was extremely boring>lauterbrunnenBoggles my mind how people spend one day in these kinds of destinations. At least do an entry-level hike. You are missing out
>>2734401OP sounds like the most obese, rancid tourist on the board, desu. Probably incapable of heading to anywhere without a goyslop fast food chain. Whole plan looks boring as shit, lmao.
>>2734389>>2734330Damn I thought the only people that knew about Colmar were Gochiusa watchers. Has the rest of the world caught onto that gem now?
>>2734980Well it helps that I was born and live here haha. But yeah, we get invaded by tourists. Christmas Markets starting in a few days, peak tourist season is coming.I'd also recommend Eguisheim, Kaysersberg, Riquewihr and Ribeauvillé around Colmar.
>>2732853prices need to come down more, it's still too expensive for what you get
>>2731660Went earlier this year, i liked it. IIt's very gentrified (there's no real gritty neighborhood), ultra convenient with the octopus card, a lot of hiking to do around the city, good food everywhere (dim sums, bubble teas and so on), a few events (symphony of lights, kung fu corner).That being said, i'm not a fan of all the luxury malls tho, if you don't have 10k to spend on luxury good, many places are kind of pointless.
I loved HK the last time I went there which was before chinkflu. I've read so many bad things about it now, has HK lost its soul forever? Is it just another mainland city now?
>>2732889Sounds like the direction Bangkok is heading in. How disappointing.
>>2732901My Chinese friends complain everytime they have to go to Hong Kong. They've been going for decades and say it is terrible. I think they are overblowing it since their families have been acosted by the CCP.
Is this APT drinking game really a thing in Korea or is it just some made up meme being forced just to give the song a background story?
It's a real drinking game, you see it on some kdramas
why is there no /krg/ in /trv/?
>>2729773Korean princesses won't let fat white incel dorkers have pussy access, so it's on the /trv/ ban list of potential destinations.
>>2729700all korean culture is fake and just ripped off other countries.
>>2732359yes that's how the culture of most countries works
I dont get it, what are you even supposed to do in this country? It just seems like a worse soulless japan and it doesn't have that third world edge to it like China.>b-but my kpop princes girls!Korean girls don't look like those plastic creatures without surgery and they are too high maintenance and have high requirements, it's not worth it. Literally any han Chinese girl mogs them in personality and natural beauty and they still fall for the JBW strategy.
>best korea mentionedCan't visit on a burger passport. Also looks like foreigners can only go on guided tour groups?
>>2734489I found Korea extremely fun. If I just want to chill and drink and meet some people I'd probably choose Korea over Japan every time.Japanese people are all turbo autists and are completely fucking brain dead, it's impossible to have a conversation with them about anything that's not the latest episode of whatever shitty anime is trending now.Koreas are superficially insectoidal (same clothes, same hairstyles) but they are often surprisingly intelligent and fun to talk to. They also love to drink heavily and are really easy to have fun with.Couple that with the fantastic food and I think Korea is a great travel destination in general.I would choose Japan if you just want to hike around and see temples, but I guess that's not what this thread is about.>it doesn't have that third world edge to it like China.It sure does outside of the largest cities. The old people in Korea have a really third world mindset and the infrastructure is still not great in the smaller cities and the countryside. Still, it's nowhere near as bad as China, so I guess if you actually want third world then yeah, China is a better option.t. lived in Japan for 3 years, frequently stayed in Korea
>>2734962>say you are actually korean without saying it Pretending foreigners or being korean american are fun to be so?
>>2734971take your meds, buddy
>>2734962Those who only talk about anime are also considered creepy by Japanese people.In the first place, such people don't go out to drink or talk with gaijin.
Currently in japanLast time I was in Japan (that was in tokyo) i had some fat girl with bright pink hair take creepshots of me. Which although not okay and i didnt do anything about cause i dont wanna stand out, is understandable, cause i've got a big cock and i cannot hide the bulge. But this time i had other pictures taken of me and i dont get it. Im waiting at a crossing in kyoto and two like 17-19 year old japanese teen guys run up, one poses next to me with a thumbs up and his friends take a pic. Then they run away. Whats the point of that? Are they making fun off me? Taking pictures to mark me as a target for robbery? (I was wearing a nice, very obviously expensive jacket that most people cannot afford) i dont think im a model or anything and there are plenty of other foreigners here
>>2733511Nope your threads getting snuffed out starting now because it’s a low effort Larp humblebrag faggot fest. See ya later faggot
>>2734159>this schizo and insecureLol, lmao even
>>2734353Bump
>>2733149>t.
>>2733565If I had a good camera I'd always try to include a proper subject in any street shot
What type of life can you live in Romania on 17945€/ $19,020 a year
>>2734512Yeah once for three days I stayed in a hotel.>>2734621Definitely not rural
>>2734622I mean why not try. What harm could it do.
>>2734461I’d imagine so, you definitely won’t be living like a king but I’m sure you knew that already
>>2734461You can get basic studio apartment in Bucharest for 300-400 eur. Minimum wage in Romania is 665 eur so yes I think you can live a okay life with this money although you will want to learn romanian before moving
>>2734513you really think some sites using government or user-submitted data from years ago are going to be worth a damn? they're not.
Can we get a proper Vietnam thread going?Any anons planning on the making the trip or have been there to share travel adviceNorth or South it's all just a motorbike hire away
>>2734101>>2734106>>2734110based schizo. viet women are indeed kino
>ctrl+f>white dork>19 resultsAbsolutely seething ricecel
holy hell these threads are cancerevery racemixing white girl is a win.
>>2734110Vietnamese women. Beat up white dorkus.
>>2734949Memes aside, this girl looks totally cute to me. You don't think so?
I understand the desire to avoid popular locations. Too many tourists. Whether it be finding a quiet place to relax, or seeking the unknown off the beaten path, I get why one would want to avoid people.But this thread isn't about that. Are there destinations where the main draw is the people? Where being around as many of them as humanly possible is seen as a selling point instead of a detractor?The only thing I can think of isn't so much a location, but a situation. I actually like being around a lot of people during Christmas, New Year's, and festivals in general. Now I'm left wondering if there are locations that can evoke this feeling year-round without the need for a specific holiday or event.
>>2734815The ad placed across the fountain is a bigger eyesore than the tourists, to be completely fair & honest.
>>2734891There’s a gorilla on miles of coastline in south east Asia. What do those touristy beaches have over the same beach 10 miles down the coast that makes the crowds worth tolerating?Or are crowds the draw? Like OP mentioned
>>2734912you can travel to Manila to experience hyper-crowding
>learning Vietnamese for the past year>speaking has gotten pretty good. solid fluency with good pronunciation, but vocab could still use some work>listening is good about familiar topics. no problems talking to my teacher or girlfriend, but native speakers are still a little too fast>say one single word in Vietnamese to anyone in this godforsaken country>respond at the fucking speed of light + nonsense slang + old man dialect + mumbling>ask them to speak slower and more clearly>they speak even more quickly the second time + yellingI mean I know they're not used to speaking to language learners but aren't some things just common sense? A couple weeks ago a shopkeeper asked if I spoke Vietnamese, to which I replied the equivalent of "a little, but I'm still studying and not very comfortable speaking" and she launched into a five minute old woman rant about...something, I have no fucking clue. Something about how she has to learn English to talk to customers and foreigners should learn their language too. Thank god she didn't ask any questions so I could just nod and grunt. Even my girlfriend (native speaker) couldn't understand half of what she said.I'm trying really hard not to conclude that Vietnamese people are fucking retarded but this is such a frustrating experience. It's basically impossible to use the language even after a year because of this shit. Any other travelers and language learners go through this?
>>2712570Every stupid non English speaker does this, I always pretend I can’t understand anything at all. Fuck them.
some culprits for the difficulty of learning vietnamese1. they don't understand that going from non-tonal -> tonal speaking is exponentially more difficult than the inverse2. they have a bizarre lack of common sense / contextual intuition as pointed out in >>27131233. very shaky mutual intelligibility between dialects4. non-standard grammar structures that most VN can't explain (wtf?)5. these niggas will be unhelpful as fuck and laugh _at_ you for saying something wrong instead of helping, which triples the time it takes to communicate most ideas
>>2733012>5. these niggas will be unhelpful as fuck and laugh _at_ yougud. white dorks speak english is funnay. they cant speak 4 shyte. "EmMMMm ... oIIIIiiiii ... XIIINnnnnHHHH CHAAAOOOOOOO. " ~ white dork
>>2733047Chad white dork. 10/10 girlfriend.
>>2712570u vill never speak vietnamese. u stupid. white. dork.
Do you follow any?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G13e9yCazpE
>>2734200Nope. I just talked to old uncles and boomer drinking buddies who talked about being expats in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Of course everything has changed now and you can no longer get away with a cheap Charlie existence. But those men inspired me. I spent my late 20s and my entire 30s working hard and playing hard. I’m in my 40s now and according to my diary I have 322 conquests. Not bad for a millennial dorker. I think the boomers who “came” before me would be proud.
>>2734444his last video from china was dogshit. india and laos were decent
>>2734444 (checked)This. He's just got a great style. Makes simple things look fun, and his charisma is incredible to watch.Other faggots look like tryhards in comparison desu.Disagree on China. Felt like a nice insight into what it'd be like just rocking up there.
>>2734449>>2734459When he hiked through central America from venezuala with timmy karter that was legit the craziest shit any travel vlogger had done on YouTube. Thats when he was goated imo. Like bro legit could have easily died doing that from a myriad of reasons and him and timmy disclosed that they really did see people die all through that jungle.
I like Steve Marsh. He's an extremely pleasant Scottish fella who travels around northern Europe, mostly on ferries. Very comfy.
