Can someone tell me about this state. I might have to live here for a year or so.What’s it like outside Nashville and Memphis in the smaller towns? Is it just old people and overweight people? Is it boring or things to do?
If you’re a Civil War autiste there’s a lot of great battlefields like Ft. Donelson, Shiloh, Murfreesboro, and Chattanooga with Chickamauga just over the Georgia line. There are siegeworks around Nashville and Knoxville mostly erased by urbanization and a lot of minor skirmish sites across the state.
The entire state is rapidly anti-tax, anti-government.But there’s been so much migration to middle and eastern Tennessee, they now need massive infrastructure improvements - but nobody wants to pay for it.They think a property tax of $2,000 per year is outrageous.
>>2883217Maybe they should figure out a way to pay for stuff other than taxes. Get corporations to sponsor highways in exchange for plastering the roads with permanent ads. >>2882872I'm not a bot the dude really did pull up in his car and tell me to follow jesus or something. Or the gift of eternal life can be yours. I forget what he said. Religion is fake. They don't believe it and I don't either. >>2883217I feel like TN has an advantage in money nonetheless over places like KY and WV that have less urbanization and less wealthy large landowners, TN still has a fair bit of money to subsidize it, its not as run down as Alabama or Kentucky.
There are a lot of cool small towns and also some shitty ones. Most people are friendly. They’re poor but it’s been that way for generations so people know how to get by with not much. People will ask you where you go to church and you’ll be seen as a little strange if you don’t go so be prepared to work on your relationship with Jesus if you want to fit in. Church is basically a social club here. The countryside is mostly old boomers but that’s everywhere in the west now. Not such a bad place to live. Cowan and Sevierville are probably my favorite small towns. Monteagle is cool. The Jack Daniel’s factory in Lynchburg is neat. Athens sucks ass. Oh and the best part of Nashville is Franklin. Definitely go to Franklin. What kind of work are you looking to do?
>>2874691Bro, I'm already going to Tennessee, you don't have to sell me on it
Why is Japan so cozy?
>>2878192Because its full of Japanese women that have never experienced a creampie before
>>2882873Shut up retard. It's the lack of zoning that makes it what it is. No other place on earth has the same lack of zoning
>>2878192no niggers or shrieking white women
>>2879781Shikoku is the best island I've been toso nice and chill
>>2883192Summer in Tokushima Prefecture is all about the Awa Odori festival. There are over a thousand Awa Odori dance groups in Tokushima, and the city is flooded with tourists from all over the country who come to watch the performances.

>$20 trickEveryone on the youtube talks about this, is it worth it? Im only going on my second trip... tomorrow, first time i went (flamingo) i did not hand em a 20 and was offered a suite upgrade; which i did not take because it would not be strip view, which my original booking was. This time im staying at the nugget, already booked a room in the relaxation tower or whatever that comes with a coffeemaker which is great because fuck waiting in line at starbucks first thing in the morning, im used to having my coffee before i get dressed and leave the house in the morning; so i have no clue what kind of upgrade they could even offer me seeing as i already booked what i wantIs this upgrade trick more of a thing for people who book the absolute cheapest thing possible?
>>2883246Howdy neighbor, I'm gonna be at the 4 queens tomorrow. Don't worry, I don't intend to meet. I hear different stories about that. I actually stayed at the nugget last year on my first trip, tipped the desk lady for helping me out with the check in, but she said "what's this for?" I just said I was new and thanks for the help, I forgot to ask. It was labor day weekend so i'm sure it was all packed. It's luck of the draw I guess, I don't care much for the room when i'm going to be out and about till 3 am every night anyways.
>>2883260>I'm gonna be at the 4 queens tomorrow. Don't worry, I don't intend to meet.What's your room number? I'm trans, mind if I slide through with a few of my friends?
>>2883261Sure, if you give me money to gamble.
>>2883280You should be paying me, daddy.
Tell me about eco tourism in Costa Rica, what are the national parks like? What is the pricing like? How do you get around the country?
>>2883204Only time I felt unsafe some gangsters in gold chains out numbered us, asked if we wanted some coke, we declined, and than they changed the subject to some cool national forests we should see, wished us well, and walked away.
>>2883205Kek, maybe the government pays gangsters to help tourists on the side.
>>2883202>What is the pricing like?You'll think it's cheap if you're from NYC or California, otherwise lol>How do you get around the country?Same way you would in Africa
I'm trying to buy some lakefront property on Lake Arenal. As of right now that's where I'll retire. Taxes and visas are very expat friendly. I've actually never been. But sometime soon I'm gonna head down and scope things out.
>>2883202rent an SUV. I did this with a group of friends. It is not cheap but worth it for getting around. we took turns driving and it avoided all the tourist bus BS. The entry fees everywhere are pretty bad. The food was mediocre, but the cold beers and the AirBnB places with hammocks and covered porches to play cards at night were pretty awesome. The parks are also insanely beautiful but a tad underwhelming if you have spent any time on the west coast.
Bologna is fucking amazing
If you're taking the trains from Rome to Venice, it's insane not to stop in Bologna. It's a great city. And that tower is gong to fall over in the next 10-15 years, so you better see it now.
>>2881456Vattene a fanculo, siamo pieni. At least do your best not to get scammed by some crappy newly built joint in the Quadrilatero over two overpriced slices of mortadella and a watered down spritz. If the menus are in english don't even bother going into the restaurant. Honestly my advice food-wise, go to some local salumerie and fruttivendoli frequented by szdoure, get yourself a strologhino, a crescente, a tub of squaqquerone, some in-season fruit, and go chill at San Michele in Bosco, Villa Ghigi or San Pellegrino while watching the roofs change colors at sunset.
Why would anyone go a city named after a mediocre American processed meat product?
Bologna and ketchup gotta be my favorite Italian sandwich combo.Fr tho, I watched the No Reservations episode on Bologna. Lots of good meat there.
>>2881456>Bologna is fucking amazingIf you're a young commie, it's paradise.
Going to Gdańsk for a weekend. What can you do there?
>>2878121Politicians fantasizing over what-if scenarios aren't comparable to actually firing the first shot.>The historical record does not lie, the truth wins outTrue and the historical record does show that Germany started it and lost.
>Warsaw>Danzig>KrakowWhich one is the bigger tourist trap?
>>2881452Kraków has by far the most tourists and the largest industry catering to them. There's a good reason for that though as it has the most sights of all the cities in Poland and the nearby area is ace too with plenty of day trips possible.Gdańsk's old town is packed with tourists and there's a lot of establishments targeting them. Outside of it, it's pretty chill. It's also become very fashionable with Poles recently, I've lost count of the number of people who either moved there or expressed the desire to do so.Warsaw is only a tourist trap in the sense that all the tourists go there but there's really not that much to see. It's also a large and spread out city so they all get lost in the local crowd.
>>2852705mourn the Germans who originally inhabited Danzig and the surrounding area but were menaced and massacred by a newly invented Poland and then genocided by the bolshevik allies

I want to live in an internet cafe in Tokyo.
>>2879549Is it true that in Nagasaki, they like bukkake?
>>2879725Not in my experiance.
>>2875506I recommend the capsule hotel attached to the sauna over an internet café. You can take a bath anytime, there’s a coin-operated laundry, and they provide robes, so you can stay clean. There’s also a restaurant where you can enjoy a drink, and you can relax in the reclining chairs.

Is there much to see or do in this country? Food isn’t the greatest, many of their cities got leveled in WW2. It seems like a grey country to travel in. Nothing neighboring countries don’t offer in better.
>>2882891then why no threads about it
>>2883069>then why no threads about itbecause /trv/ is mostly about tourism with questionable motives to SEA, traveling the US (because like half of all 4chan users are from there) and the most cliche euro destinationsbut also there are literally 2 threads about Berlin in the catalogue right nowsometimes an interrail thread pops upand German General travel isn't so uncommon, every few weeks there's one about typical toursalso in September, the Oktoberfest / Munich threads
There is quite literally nowhere else in the world we're smoking cigarettes and drinking beer in a public park is more welcomed, appreciated and accepting than Germany. Second cities in East Germany are a great place to drop out of society for a month or two. >Leipzig >Dresden>Gorlitz>Rostock>Cottbus Or Berlin if have to need to feel seen
>>2883069This board is just for sex tourism.
>>2882870>only some big cities like Cologne or Dresden got completely destroyedThen why are most of them like 90% post-war poverty blocks? Did the Germans just decide to tear down all their old buildings on their own?
Do you plug up before travelling?Whether its the airplane, train, coach - its a new revelation for me. I always just wore headphones for the whole travel day and sometimes its tedious.Whether its blocking out the ambient noise, or there is a cranky baby, or 3rd worlder talking on their phone, or some drunk chavs and chavettes It made last journey so much more comfy.Foam plugs are ok. The christmastree ones ive had one good pair one seemingly useless pairNewly tried wax plugs, feel gross in your hand, but worked extremely well. could still hear when attendant has to talk to you, but can ignore everything else
>>2878841a certain portion of the population does not recognize when someone else is impaired - be it language barrier or otherwise

>>2877300I use ones to help with the pressure of take off and landing, or in general if my ears are sore.I tried wax before but couldn't work them out and they seem impossible to clean
>>2877300I generally want to hear any announcements of problems while flying, so no.I always make sure to wear 100% non-plastic clothing. No polyester, no "stretch jeans". Just 100% cotton bluejeans and usually a silk shirt (because that's what I wear 99% of the time anyway). These clothes won't incinerate me and stick to my skin if there's a fire.
>>2877300Nah music or audiobook, but absolutely need this shit to sleep anywhere in latin america.

Anyone teaching English right now? How is it? I can't get a non blue collar job with my degree so I'm looking to head to vietnam.
Not OP, but this seems like a better place to ask than killing another thread. I should be finishing up my Bachelors either at the end of this year or the end of next (there is some admin stuff on the backend that may push a unit to Semester 2 2027) and am considering applying for JET. Degree is in Professional Writing and Editing with a minor in Japanese. However, I have some concern that my application may look poor as I have been in unskilled blue-collar work while working through this degree part time (trucking specifically, previously worked in a computer shop and various service jobs) and while I see a lot of talk of "JET don't just want professional students they want people with life experience," a lot of the examples that I see cited for "life experience" are things like exchange student trips, volunteering in an office and the like. Additionally, as my university work has been non-contact (at a top 200 university, not just a diploma mill, but still online study) I am concerned about my referees being a trucking office boss that I see maybe three or four times a year and lecturers that couldn't pick me out of a police lineup. How do I go about addressing this? I need to work to support myself towards the end of this degree, I seem to meet the description of what JET looks for in an applicant (long-running interest and some experience with Japan and the Japanese language, broad range of life experience, not a weeb or pest, would like to work in Japan for a few years but then likely return to my home country and start climbing the government ladder) but I hold serious reservations about how I may convince them that I am not just a truck driver with a degree.
>>2883131No one cares, they just pretend to care to jew you in salary negotiations. They'll take anyone with a pulse.
>>2883135JET is fixed rate, no? I've also heard that the acceptance rate is somewhere in the region of 25%, higher than most job programs obviously but still in the realm of "they will actively look for reasons to exclude you," I just want to get my ducks in a row on how I go about handling it.
>>>2883131>>>2883143I bet the few who got into JET and post here don't have any clue or would be able to share much as to why they got in. Only the bureaucrats in charge of selection know why they approved who they approved. If I had to guess, one thing they are looking for in regards to exchange programs, is they don't want someone to have culture shock when they land in Japan and bail after a few weeks or months.I think your suspicion is right that trucking won't count for much with them, so I'd mention it if required and move on. Probably wouldn't dwell on it too much unless you are able to tie it into how it helped you interact with people better or some B.S.
>>2883148That is fair. I will probably lean on the time I have spent working with elderly people (family members and some locals), children (see above) and leverage my time in the cadets and my (brief) exchange to Japan in high school where I was able to settle comfortably in a tier 2 city.
Are there any travel bloggers or youtubers that are actually good?It seems like almost all travel content on the internet is either1. The same list of the top 10 things to do in a place and generic tips like don't overpack2. Boring videos of vapid foids walking around a city and eating or somewhat interesting videos of people walking around abandoned factories and such but either way not very useful for planning a trip3. Lists of fancy restaurants and hotels if you're the type of person who travels to nuke your bank accountThe only decent travel resource I've come across is Japan Guide but that's only for one country unfortunatelyMaybe the written travel guides you have to pay for are better? But I assume those are just a slightly more refined version of #1

I got a HGH prescription in the US. I can't afford the fucking $3000/month for treatment. I can fly to Mexico and get an entire year's worth of meds for like 7 grand. Anyone ever done this shit? How do I do it and not end up getting thrown in jail, stabbed by a cartel, or scammed with fake bullshit from the clinic?
>>2882846>HGH is FDA-approved. It's been FDA-approved for at least thirty years.I looked it up, 1985. 41 years and counting. That was for the synthetic. Natural, IDK if people could get it before then or not since it would probably require dissecting someone.
>>2882814>>2882792tell that to>>2882761>>2882749>>2882848It's one of those things that is mostly used for lifestyle and cosmetic benefits, but it actually works so naturally it's borderline impossible to get in the US. Lots of clinics in Mexico advertise it, and it's a 2 hour flight.
>>2882921HGH is like 1000/mo tops, but again if OP is actually >>2882789 and trying to hit 225, with HGH of all things... It's so unironically over I don't know where to begin. This is a pretty specific thing so I'm pretty sure OP wants to use it for a quick way to lifting. Not to mention if he is trying to carry any amount worth a dam, it's going to be ceased and checked. Google says 90 day supply into the USA is legal but IDK.Here's the thing, if you can't into a decent routine you're most likely going to look silly and that you used. People become top heavy or specific muscle area ripped but lack any features to supplement it and look stupid, the weeks after HGH will be rough, etc etc. I say this because I am under the impression OP actually thinks 225 is something unique, unless you are fully SS and at that point have no reason to take HGH, you're better off just sticking to some vitamins+preworkout.OP go to >>>/fit/ look for the /fraud/ general, enjoy being laughed at for wanting HGH for 225 1rm, realize there are plenty of drop ship sellers, or go to Mexico for a 90 day supply and enjoy the inevitable crash.Still curious where you are getting charged 3,000/mo for that prescription, are you like in the middle of buttfuck north dakota or something where it's just not around?
>>2882923I am OP. My 1rm is 335. I have zero interest in getting any bigger or stronger. My goal with HGH is to correct a deficiency and gain some other benefits. Not sure why the sarms goblins came out of the woodwork to cry about it. Not sure how you failed to understand this.HGH is about $3000/month for a 2iu prescription. UGL is like $0.90 / iu give or take. Mexico is branded HGH with zero dimer and it's all 191, whereas UGL has some dimer (low) and 192, along with possible ADH or even diuretic additives. I can afford 7-10 grand / year. I cannot afford 3 grand / month. If you can refer me to a clinic in the US that can get me HGH for 1-1.5 grand / month at 2iu per day then by all means, I'll use them.
>>2882946I mean, JFC, dude, just fucking go. Hit Mexico City, the cartels aren't going to be whacking tourists there. Or do the walk-across-the-border thing at any of the major crossings like Tijuana (California) or Ciudad Juarez (El Paso, TX). Do it in mid-day and go straight to whatever clinic you've found on the internet, then come straight back. Don't stop for the donkey show.
