>any anons with children who do international travel?Before Covid my wife and I would always take a month trip to Europe in the summer and Asia in the spring. However since covid we have had 3 children, and we would like to take another short trip fall of 2027, however one of the big issues I am trying to figure out is hotel rooms. It seems like most places do not allow 5 people in a room regardless how big the room is, and most rooms that have interconnected doors only have 2 people per room. How do most anons do it? We have stayed at a few AirBnBs in the past but I do prefer hotels when possible, especially in Asia. Also it seems like the logistics of taxis will be a nightmare as well, we typically only use public transit but there are times when you will need to use a taxi and I would not feel comfortable splitting up the family.
>>2852007>Europe in the summerYou couldn't pay me....You stay in American chains, ask for rollaway bed. Dad w/son, Mom w/daughter, someone on the sofabed or rollaway. Adjoining rooms is ideal, but one room will be king, and you do not leave children alone, again with the same sleeping, but a small kid can squeeze into the middle of a king. Some hotel rooms have a hallway that connects them, verses a shared wall. It's no big deal to prearrange a hotel pickup or choose a taxi that is a mini van. Uber XL. Whatever you do, I prefer to let the hotel know what I want. Plenty of hotels pick up more than 4 guests at once. Pack your luggage combined, to account for lost bags.You need to be safe with a larger family. Absolutely no public transport or low end hotels. Security matters.
>subarbs are florida car centric urban sprawl with terrible traffic >cbd is Philly tier destitute, homeless everywhere, trash everywhere, smells like garbage and cigarettes, many closed business >still almost as expensive as actually nice cities like melbourne and sydney This might be my most hated western city in the world
>>2851908I mean, who told you to go there? The only place worth visiting in South Australia is Coober Pedy. Tourists should mostly stick to the East Coast States + Tasmania, there's very few reasons to venture west.
Alaska, any good? I have a high likelihood of being stationed in Anchorage.
>>2848463I prefer Coke, but Pepsi is okay if that's all they have. PLEASE don't tell me they only have off-brands like Faygo or RC.

What is the connection between cold climate and alcohol or drug abuse? Why it is so prevalent? Or is this just on frozen barren places like Russia and Alaska?
>>2848430no, highest rate of suicide in the millitary

I want to visit bongland next year for like 9 days. I was thinking spend 6 in London, 2 either in Bath or York via train, then for the last day come back to London, visit Windsor then head home. Does this make sense?
>>2851943York is a nice city if you like history but London to York and back in a day is a bit much.Oxford and Cambridge are way closer.
>>2851945>Oxford and Cambridge are way closer.Which would you recommend or are they about the same?
>>2851946Cambridge for small town feel. Oxford is bigger. Both good.
>>2851948Thanks.
>>2851943York is more than a day trip - or rather, if you went on train there, you'd want to do a night stay, then come back. The initial 2 day makes sense, but maybe account for one more, so one day without travellingI'm tempted to say Bath is the same, but it's a lot closer so maybe 2 days with travel each day works.>>2851946Definitely Oxford, there's a lot more to see
Long story short, 24 years old and like many burgers, I can't fucking stand living in this shithole any longer. I can already hear the "lol USA is actually amazing" comments, but I'll do a brief explanation. Country is wonderful for nature. I have been to nearly all US states, and I do enjoy some smaller cities. NOLA, Savannah, small town midwest, and mountain west towns are great. This being said, US has zero high culture. Our Capitol is a fucking sad mockery of what any medium sized Euro city has to offer. I like the US, but living in it wagefagging is not for me. If you're rich or uninspired, great. Live in suburban sprawl and die at 70 having done nothing. As for me, I want out.At this point, I'm going to go perma travel mode for the time being. I'm in school online and want to eventually become a Professor, but that's at least 6 years away. I can make at least 1K a month anywhere in the world, which is enough just about anywhere (except the US, another reason I hate this shithole). Anyone have any tips on this? I'm leaving in a month and a half. Starting in London, and going to slowly move across Europe and into Central Asia. Anyone here do super low budget long term? How do you deal with health emergencies? Any hidden gem medium sized cities in Asia that are overlooked?
>>2851745>just back-stabbing assholesThe successful people I know are like that lol
>>2851747Just because someone is poor and/or homeless doesn't make them a virtuous person.
>>2830420They’re feds, they camp on this board to shout fown any posts critical of america. They are also the same people posting FUD about how bad solo travel is. If you BTFO them, they screech for the jannies to come and delete your posts.
>>2849095You’re really bad with money, I make tens of thousands per year off of my 200k playmoney stack without even paying much attention to it. Just popping it into the S&P whenever there’s a correction and taking it out a few months later. I think I made like 50k last year without even trying.

Discussion of Asian Cities and recommendations on which one to visit next. I've been to Taipei and Tokyo and thought Taipei was the best city I have been to in the world. The food was great, the people were friendly, and the day trips were so much fun. Looking to go there again next year but am unsure of which city to pair it with. My options are Kyoto, Seoul, and Singapore for about 4-5 days. Looking for a place with solid food, somewhere relatively easy to navigate, and something with just good vibes all around.
>>2849897That still doesn't address the fact that OP mentioned Singapore which is SEA. Therefore this thread can include discussion about places in SEA.
>>2849822Yes.
>>2850077>Vertical line to describe geography
>>2850077No mention of Taiwan, are you Chinese?
>>284779520 of those cities.
I am departing Vilnius in the morning of the 27th to try and hitchhike to Riga. I've already been traveling for about a month but I'm splitting off from my friends to solo travel. Should I be worried about my safety at all as a skinny asian male?And where should I spend new years?Also how do I get laid
>>2849108>(which is not true, they're simply too spoiled to travel)Talk for the rich niggers in my generation; I, on the other hand, go to third world hellholes because I can't stay in the Schengen area for more than 3 months at a time
>>2848956Have you been picked up, OP?
>>2851380>a skinny asian male>18yoI'm sure he's found a Baltic daddy by now. Probably one of those big hairy guys.
>>2851390Some people have all the luck :(
>>2851380yeah lol got picked up by a local from Vilnius to Panevėžys and got driven from there to Riga by three Polish guys headed to Tallinn. saved myself like 40 CAD.have not been laid yet but have been touched by an older Belorussian lady on my stomach and chest (quite sensually)thanks for reading my blog ps fuck these new captchas

How likely am I to get random phone searched by CBP as a gringo US citizen flying back into the country from LatAm? I'm not up to anything shady, the process just sounds kind of like a pain in the ass.
>>2849340No. Miles and More sucks ass
>>2847869Malaysia is usually considered very chill and relaxed while being more relaxed
>>2836940First time ever visiting /trv/, if I wanted to visit another country, say Japan or Poland, how much of the language should I be able to speak before heading there? I know most every country worth visiting can cater to an English only speaker to varying degrees, but I'd like to show a little respect to wherever I go.
You're all financing your trips with credit arent you?
I’m in college and afford my trips by donating plasma. An extra 400 a month adds up over time
>>2851266I use credit cards, I just don't depend on them the same way other people do. OP is talking about people with no money using their credit cards to travel, and paying it off in small installments later. Millions of Americans actually do this.The way you've described credit card usage is pretty much what I do. There's a difference between using them out of necessity and convenience.

Why would you ever pay with yet to depreciate fiat when you don't have to?

Fargo fag here>>2851179>>2851312>>2851314This is the kinda shit I dealt with when moving during covid as we went full WFH indefinitely and I wanted cheap rent. The only real issue i have with fargo is 1) the leftist NDSU who just got work are far more talkative/annoying for the size of the city than you'd expect 2) the homeless that show up for the late spring and summer are a bit aggro.>muh niggerslots are seasonal work or uber drivers, they suck but they 99% stick to moorhead housing or goldmark. Stop shopping at Walmart on the 1st and 15th, and you basically never see them. >muh nothing to doI'll give you winter is a bit of a chore but you can easily run somewhere warm and not worry of 'urban youth' breaking in. Most crime here is petty theft/DUI, like most college towns. Summer, spring, and fall especially are nice.Gatekeeping here is the worst I've seen virtually anywhere, I get it since housing is a crunch here as farmers just refuse to give land up or more housing but it's not that bad. I don't get how people can live here where jobs start at 18-20/hr then somehow are still broke complaining needing a 620 credit score to rent a decent 700/mo place that gets you far out here.Move here if you want to min/max your lifestyle and bank account, i you're self-motivated with a good balance of hobbies/interests you'll make friends pretty easily.

What happens here? My wagecucking is having the annual "corp retreat" next summer at a beachside resort.I figure it's just like DR: "stay in bounds otherwise you will be kidnapped for organ harvesting and/or sex slavery as soon as you step into town"
>>2850412lmao, the '''''''train''''' is ogre. it's quicker to cycle. it runs like once a day and takes some stupid like 5 hours. apparnetly it has bullet holes in it and all the glass is smashed up, too,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6NQudzqAAYthere'll be loads of buses between the 2. Gjirafa Bus has 'official' coaches with an actual timetable, but there's also shitload of minibuses which leave when full. desu, a private car between the 2 won't cost much at all. Tirana has multiple bus stations, make sure you get the right one back to Durres.

Do people live on boats? I'm getting a bit bored of live and want to mix things up. I've always liked the idea of 'working remotely' from a boat, and just sailing around Europe from port to port.Is this feasible? How much of a world of pain would I be getting myself into? I'd be looking to sell my house, buy a country shack to store shit and retreat to, and just be a man about the world.
Boats are a pain in the ass to maintain and always syphoning large amounts of money. The bigger the worse and European ports will drain your wallet more than any hotel. You can do what you want, but considering you'd need to sell off your stuff you're not in a position to do it properly like the decamillionairs cruising around the med.It doesn't sound like you have a whole lot experience with boats, neither the fuck you money to just throw cash at whatever problems comes to you.So to me it sounds retarded honestly to make a move like this in your position, if you're serious first rent a boat for a few days or join a boat trip and talk to boat owners to see what it's like, cause i guarantee you they all have painful and expensive stories.
>>2850850The saying goes the two best days of your life are when you buy the boat and sell the boat.
>>2847606It was feasible back in the 60s when your pay scale could afford you a boat and all the trouble that goes with them. Nowadays, unless you are a millionaire, forget about it. Even a family friend of ours who was a millionaire had a boat and said it was a giant PITA.
It’s amazing but you have to go into it with the knowledge and (most importantly) willingness to make taking care of it your full time job. And even then it’ll still be expensive.But its amazing if you do it right.
Watch in too deep, guy who repairs boats and lives on them. It's a fuckload of work and if you don't diy then you'll pay for someone else to do all the work you see
What should i do? Been to Japan this year, did the popular route and i've enjoyed it. Now i think i could also try to go to China but im not sure. I am now more familiar with Japan, for China i know nothingAt the same time there are cool places in China... What to do? Experience China and visit the popular stuff, or go to Japan again and do Okinawa maybe and some other place?
>>2850156>Beijing is basically Chinese Kyoto.Plus people spitting everywhere, dirty almost india level, scammers, diarrhea food, dangerous road traffic, people shouting in your ears, pollution, Chinese don't do any maintainance. There is a reason why Chinese tourists are flooding Kyoto.
>>2850250Where did you stay in Beijing?
>>2850258He didn't. Or if he did, he stayed there decades ago.
>>2847936Everyone keep telling me that you should always experience new countries instead of visiting ones you have already seen. But I loved Japan so much I want to go back already. It never happened for any other countries before (and I have seen a lot).I was tempted to do Taiwan for ten days perhaps, then moving on to Japan. Perhaps doing China then Japan could be your solution if you have enough days off
>>2847937This is a weeb board, anon.
I was curious the different expat communities around the world. What are your guys experiences with them?It can be any nationality in any country. For me, an American, I'm thinking of visiting places here in the States that have certain expat communities of countries I want to visit (Japan, China, South Korea, Taiwan).
>>2851537lol. Guess I'll just go hang around Hirafu and if I meet people then I'll try rent equipment. No big deal if it's too hard though.
>>2851537it's always been that crowded at open and real ones go backcountry there anyway. still technically early in a season that goes well into february/march. stop being a nigger and believing "overtourism" narratives on xitter. >>2851523>>2851523just go there to ski if you're actually into skiing, if you wanna goon just go talk to girls at bars, there's only like two good ones in sapporo and another three or so in niseko. so ez mode.
>>2851675>if you're actually into skiingI did Val Thorens this January, that place was my first ski trip and while I liked skiing itself the place is a tourist trap. I don't wanna do it on my own. Goon first, ski if necessary.>there's only like two good ones in sapporo and another three or so in nisekonames?
>>2851680>namessapporo has rad brothers, utage(club) - both good with foreign crowds, and booty which is good if you wanna affiliate with japanese wiggers, and the sort of foid they bring around - semi-international crowd but very degenerateniseko has gyu and powder room and plenty of apres-ski parties you need to go skiing/boarding to get invited to and a good deal of outlaw raves that again you need to be tapped in to get invited to.
oh also acid room is my favorite club in sapporo but it won't be everyone's cup of tea. name basically gives away why. avoid if you don't like psytrance or that "scene"
Are there any countries I can visit and legally bring cannabis into for personal consumption?
>>2843630anywhere, just make sure to sneak it into someone else's bag first
>>2849793Crazy suggestion combo
>>2844285>> just grow your own 3 plants in your garden / on your balcony (cannabis is an really easy plant)doesn't it need a load of water and constant light?when i was a student living in a shared house we grew it in mugs on our kitchen windowsillone of the residents eventually tried it and said it was awful. of course they could have just said that so they could keep it for themselves i supposeafter that we mainly just kept the plants to show how edgy we were
>>2843630Singapore 100%
