For the maple syrup people here, I'm thinking about moving to Canada (will start applying for jobs this year). I already have few years of experience.What should I expect there? Is it a nice country? Hows life there? Hows life compared from province to province? Is it like the UK on steroids and Timmies or a completely different place? I'm a Turkish guy who did in fact live in the United Kingdom.
>>2849790Our government let way too many immigrants into the country in the last decade and it is dramatically changing our culture and putting strain on our social services and the job market.
>>2849790the mood is pretty grim right now, the country is going through a difficult period
>>2849713Place is full of retarded wannabe amerifags and has very weak links to the uk
>>2849869I already have job experience plus university degree. And for culture, it's something that always absorbs something from the land or from the newcomers. That's why Turkish cuisine is so large!
>>2849884I'm looking at management level jobs, considering my experience level.
Wtf happens here?! >huge country>absolutely beautiful>same part of world as Thailand and Vietnam kino>ancient history >probably cheap as fuckIs it an Islamic hellhole, or an untapped resource? There must be some amazing experiences lurking in the 10million islands*apart from Bali
>>2834683Hey, that’s not fair. That’s one hell of a generalization. Some of us talk about latina hookers too.
>>2834757im expected to believe I can go there, say im a muslim by saying that one phrase they got and just raw dog a selection of whatever I want? yeah idk about that
>>2847502Most of Indonesia is not strictly Islamic like the Gulf Arab countries. Aceh is one exception. You venture into the underbelly of the city at your own risk. If you can't communicate in the local language, things can go wrong very quickly.

Muslims beheaded Canadian mining company consultants in Mindanao who were helping torture and kill indigenous Lumads.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Ridsdel>At the time of the kidnapping, he was retired. Prior to that he had been working for the mining company TVI Resource Development Philippines Inc.,[3] a subsidiary of Canada's TVI Pacific, where he was also a consultant.>Ridsdel was kidnapped by Abu Sayyaf militants in the Philippines on 21 September 2015, in a raid on Holiday Ocean View Samal Resort, on Samal Island in the southern Philippines.[4] After the gunmen disarmed the resort's security guards, they abducted four people from the resort, the Canadians John Ridsdel and Robert Hall, the resort's Norwegian marina manager Kjartan Sekkingstad, and a Filipino woman, Teresita Flor.[5]>The kidnappers later issued demands for a hefty ransom to be paid for the release of the hostages, reportedly 300 million pesos (around $6.5 million) for each of the three foreigners seized. As the deadline lapsed on 25 April 2016, they apparently beheaded Ridsdel.[6] Ridsdel's head was found in a plastic bag in Jolo.[7] A headless body, possibly Ridsdel's, was later found by villagers by a creek bed near Talipao. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police launched an international murder investigation.[8]The company he worked for was involved in torturing and killing indigenous Lumad people (Lumads are not Muslim btw)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TVI_Pacific>In 2015 TVI was mentioned along with several other mining companies as being the likely beneficiary of a series of government-funded murders of the indigenous Lumads who live in the Mindanao region of the Philippines, an area rich in mineral resources to which these companies would like better access.[3]Comment too long.

Or Berlin ist scheisse.Why is this city so hyped up?Just returned from 4 day visit and it was a terrible let down.Completely grey and soulless even for November, lots of ugly architecture, drug addicts and homeless everywhere. They even had little camps like in the states. Stench of urine all across the city. Visited Museum Island, it was ok but nothing compared to British Museum or British National Gallery.I am really surprised this city is hyped so much.Frankfurt is better if you want modern city.Dresden if you want history and beauty.Munich for German food and beer.Unless you are junkie I see no point in the It's terribly dirty and depressing.
>>2839745I don't believe you.Ich glaube dir nicht.Я вaм нe вepю.
>>2847883an ex-gf of mine was robbed and harassed by a "swedish guy" in sweden. I didn't want to push the conversation back then, but I have severe doubts about the scandinavian background of this "swedish guy"
>>2842087yeah the average berliner is much more open minded because they are drug addictsall that 3mmc/ket will catch up to you
>>2839745Did you meet the schizo boomers in front of the Reichstag that carry their "Liberate us Putin" signs?
>>2849791lol>Hello, fellow Germanoids, we are totally not sus grassroots protesters from the Saxony Oblast, how do you do?
>if you didn't visit ______ 10 years ago you MISSED OUT >if you are not currently visiting ______ right now you are MISSING OUT
>>2848352you can still go to myanmar
>>2847658When I lived in Japan as a 25 year old 10 years ago, the old gaijin drunks told me I had missed out of the good times. The truth is there is only now. Not then, not next week. Now.
>>2849452As we approach the singularity, it's more difficult to find an edge. Everything's being boiled into a big soupy slop.
>>2847662Very telling take. If you can afford to “travel the world” nonstop in your early 20s, odds are you’re either bankrolled or burning time and money you’ll pay for later. A lot of people confuse partying in hostels and seasonal resort towns with meaningful travel. Then in their 30s they’re still clinging to restaurant or resort work, bouncing between mountain towns, posting nature pics to feel and appear young and free because they never built anything sustainable. Travel isn’t age locked. It’s about how and why you do it. Some people travel later with money, perspective, and choice. Others blow their 20s chasing vibes and instagram shots and call it “experience.”
>>2849452My parents would always used to tell me I had the rest of my life to travel around the world. Now, being older and able to travel, I no longer want to as everywhere has become more crowded and full of tourists. I was fortunate to visit Japan over 10 years ago and it was so much different from today. I guess my parents being of the boomer generation assumed things would always get better.
You tell me.https://www.cbsnews.com/news/us-trade-sanctions-russian-ally-belarus/
>>2848457Probably not, desu. They're keeping themselves to themselves. However, I'm not sure how you actually get in there nowadays. Isn't via Russia the only way with a foreign passport?
you could monger anywhere anon
>>2848457Yeah the Belasaurus will eat you.
>>2848457By design, the US State Department, like any foreign affairs office, must be alarmist to ensure security and also as a weapon to elicit compliance from the nation described. Use your common sense, learn about geopolitics and security issues independently. I travel to many countries that have warnings against all travel.
I'm moving from New England to Miami in a month for a job.Any advice anons would give me? What should I expect?
>>2849184>How's your spanish?None and I do not plan to learn any>Will you WFH?No>If not, do you enjoy sharing the road with fast n furious third world drivers and traffic from hell?Sounds awful
>>2848190Expect very nice weather during the winter and spring, but very rainy weather during the summer and fall. Relative to other places, the locals aren't as friendly or trusting. Even when the snowbirds leave, public spaces will still be pretty congested.The beaches, food scene, & range of things to do are great.A lot of physically attractive people.>>2848556Culturally, no. Miami is pretty much Latin America 2.0>>2848565There is a lot to do in Miami, but a lot of it involves the nightlife & socializing. You have to really look for alternatives.>>2849543Most locals in Little Havana (especially the older ones) have little-to-no English proficiency. Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

Is Prescott and Jerome in Arizona worth visiting? I'm about 4 hours away.
>>2843494That’s Sedona not Jerome. Jerome is mostly a few libboomerslop shops and not worth stopping in.
>>2843494Yes. Especially Jerome, its one of the last American towns and oozes desert culture.
>>2843494the grand canyon would make it worth it
>>2843494I'm in Prescott; apart from the downtown there's not much to do at all. Whiskey row is pretty cool if you're into sweaty bars, however if I were you I'd skip it in favor of Flagstaff. This anon >>2843499 is right on the money.>JeromeStrikingly beautiful, but not too much to actually do. I heard from a teenage coworker that on the 89A going from PV to Jerome there's a cave that's marked on the side of the road with spraypaint. You could try spelunking it if you're crazy enough, lol. Other than the pretty drive, not much.
>>2843494Jerome is worth it. One of the last few American towns with Soul. Grab some barbecue, beer, listen to 70s hard rock, and just relax.
Anyone been on an African safari? What was your experience? I'm thinking a 2 week trip to Africa with a 6 day Safari in Tanzania. What should I do with the rest of the time? How do I avoid dying from Malaria?
>>2847610Just from /tv/, I suspect Mombasa might have this feeling. Zanzibar, too?
>>2847610There's element of it in downtown Cairo, actually. It's fading, but you can feel the remnants of British and French colonialism. The French bar in Downtown Cairo serves the most disgusting food I've ever had, but it was oooooooooozing in that time period feel.There used to be the British club, which was a proper colonial holdout. Not sure if it still exists. Various embassies have 'grounds' whch you might be able to access if there's events on (the Swiss embassy grounds sometimes have events, and used to have a Haloween party famous with the local expats).On Zamalek island you have the sports club which has a race track, and need membership to get in, which would be good for a larp. Marriot Hotel Zamalek and their spa gave off colonial vibes.Down the River Nile, there's the Nile Barrage, which was built by the Brits. A rarely seen tourist attraction which is architecturally pretty cool.>tfw I just realised you said Southern Africa. aahhhh
>>2846879I live in the United States, every day is an African safari.
>>2846879I did a day safari to pilanesburg while i was in JNB. a black person picks you up in a car at 6am and takes you there for a 9am start. we drove around in one of those safari trucks till 3pm, at which point that black person drops you back to JNB. It was OK, 6/10. But if i had more time I would have gone to Kruger. >>2847823picrel
>>2847823Same goes for many parts of yurop as well
From neon lights to serene shrines, what moments captured your heart?
>>2845815I’ve been to that town and aside from the monkeys it’s fucking mostly dead, tons of abandoned buildings.I met two 30 year old Japanese women there and tried talking to them at some footbath stop and they asked me “do you have girlfriend?” And “did you finish university?” Lmao
>>2848316Many gaijins mistake Japanese girls' friendliness for romantic interest in themselves.
>>2849134A business hotel in Kyoto City that used to cost 12,000 yen is now 5,500 yen.
>>2845806Went during this year's cherry blossom season and bathing under the moonlight in Kinosaki Onsen was nice.
Will be there next weekWat do?>cultural shit>best way to get from airport to downtown>dive bars to meet drunken travelling slags>any other shit to know
>>2847494don't believe this >>2847500 guy anon, no such tradition exists. the water is really cold in winter and the currents are strong, you may not make it out of the river alive if you try this.
I landed in Hungary and apparently my socks aren't warm enough and I think I am having a fever. Where can I go buy some proper winter socks? Apparently, there are some famous fur brands in the Christmas market but I only found gloves and other winterwears but no socks. Do you not use fur for socks? They are warm and are a waste as gloves. Also, my X feed starts showing Bohemia/Magyar meme, in English no less.https://x.com/MountainGenera/status/2002095175280263455?s=20
>>2849681go to Decathlon (there's two in the center, one at Nyugati railway station and the other in Corvin Plaza) and buy a pair of ski socks
>>2849683Is there no local brand? I saw Decathlon but I don't want to buy another piece of mass produced China slop
>>2849691there's a big mountain/outdoor/climbing shop, Mountex, they probably will have what you want. They have three stores spread out in Budapest, they had good equipment back when I was there, not chinese slop
I am fed up with my life in the US and am planning to leave to SEA ASAP. I cannot afford college anymore at 22yo, and instead of disparing, and becoming a full wage slave for the long run, I have a loose plan:1. I have obtained my TEFL for English tutoring, I plan to utilize this to hopefully sustain some income supplementarily.2. I plan to start a Bald and Bankrupt style travel channel with a series called "JeetMax", and I am not trolling. You see Jeet in Hindi means victory, as I learned on /pol/ recently, and I as an American would like to make a series showing what it is like going from Punjab India, to Melbourne Australia as an aspiring software engineer. Perhaps giving some empathy, and also showing the harsh reality of one of the Sikh 'invaders', giving some humanity, but also showing the dark sides of the subject matter.3. I was thinking DaNang Viet. as a base of operations, a cheap and decent place to keep my things in the beginning of the series.4. Whilst I am in the US I am applying for the Australia Work Holiday Visa, that will be my more long term settlement goal, and of course a key step in the series.5. I am selling my car, and many of my things, I will have a meager ≈12,000 USD to my name. Certainly not much august in relation to finances, but I don't have options or time.To you folks of the traveling variety, what information can you give me? Preferably other than the "you are retarded, stay and work in the USA". Indeed, this must work, or it will be the end of my story so it seems. Any information would be appreciated.-Cheers!

>>2847984>bike to work on a nice warm daykek, you mean the sweltering heat with 80% humidity?
>>2848073If you don't have ID with a residential address on it like a driver license, you can run into issues when proof of address is required for whatever reason when traveling overseas. I've had to show a second form of ID numerous times in foreign countries.>>2848159Working overseas subjects you to more bureaucracy and paperwork than working in your home country. As someone who values simplicity, I never intend to work overseas. There are plenty of seasonal jobs in America that pay just as good as those in Australia, and just as many colorful characters and wild adventures to be had. But some people have this strange hang-up where they feel they are unable to meet people or have adventures if they are not 13000 km away from their home country. Most of them have never even taken an extended trip around their home country, but their mind is fixated on some faraway place as being the ticket to endless dopamine rushes.>>2848046>put my thingsNigga, get rid of your stupid fucking things. Leave your birth certificate and Social Security card with your parents. Everything else, sell or donate or throw away. If you are not mentally able to do this, you're not cut out to live the full-time wandering life.
>>2847980LatAm isn't cheap anymore. Even bumfuck nowhere cities in central Brazil cost $40, $50/night for a basic hotel room. Same with Mexico. >>2847979You don't have to plan much, but you definitely can't have the "live like a heckin king" retard mindset and throw money around like a nigger in Miami to stroke your own ego. Instead, you have to adapt your spending to local norms and realize that you may be taking a significant hit in quality of life by traveling to a poorer country.
>>2847788Yeah wtf is this shit?Join the merchant marines or navy, bitch.
why the other thread get yeeted?food, places to stay, places to go
Any recommendations for Chinese restaurants, Chinese bars, Chinese clubs, etc in Hanoi and HCMC? I'm visiting Hanoi and HCMC for the next two weeks, speak intermediate Mandarin, and like visiting Chinese communities outside of China. I don't know why, my personal autism. All I know so far is that in Hanoi, there are some Chinese shops in the old quarter and in HCMC, Cholon is the Chinatown.

>build a hotel with refrigerators in each room>unplug them to save money on electricity>guest plugs the fridge in as soon as they check in>it gets cold in there about three hours after they check outDon't make me pay for a refrigerator that's impossible to use. I can understand one or two retarded hotel owners pulling this stunt but how did an entire country decide it was the right way to run a business? Just don't buy refrigerators for the rooms if you're not even going to plug them in.
Why don't we have a general for akiya homes? For people who got one, thinking about getting one, etc. Tips, tricks, general japan real estate discussion, whatever. Are akiya homes still cheap and available? Any good deals you saw recently?
>>2848322Yup, many of these places were built without proper or a full HVAC system, yes those 'neat wall units!' are fun and all till you realize that you aren't controlling the humidity in every room and sucking up spores into a proper filter.Can't imagine what an anon would do if they come back from a 3 or 6month stint due to visa limits to find a 'small leak that's basically nothing' has rotted their entire roofing to the floor due to constant wet weather.
Quarter acre block, inside looks perfectly fine and not even needing renovation $33kNot bad
>>2849020>Forgets pic
>>2849020>not even needing renovation $33kHeavy doubt anon, when was the thing last occupied? Built? Lived in prior to being on the market?
>>2849022It looks like it's currently occupied or at least a holiday house
