Hi there /trv/I have lived in SoCal my whole life and was wondering what are fun things to do around here that are not Disneyland, SeaWorld, or a beach. There are tons of things that I have done here over the years but I cant think of anything exciting to do so thought I might see what cool things tourists or other locals have found or thought of that I wouldnt have.
>>2875567You can do drivebys on the homeless with a dartgun. Dip the darts in fentanyl and give them a tasty treat they will enjoy!
God I fucking wish I moved to California. What a fucking loser.
>>2878088catalina fucking suckscarmel to pebble beach was closest to heaven on earth ive personally experienced
>>2878377hearst castle is complete ass it only serves to show how this rich dude had zero taste
>>2878667The tourist part of Catalina sucks. Hiking around Catalina island is one of the best things you'll ever do. Look up the trans-Catalina trail. There are wild buffalo just walking around the island. It's just beautiful coastline and pristine trails and beaches. Almost no one hikes it. It should be a national park.
Can I realistically travel with a 2 week off 1 week on rotation job to Asia? Money is not an issue. I am more concerned about the jet lag.
>>2878510Europe, Africa and South America are all much closer than Asia to the US East Coast. If money is really no issue, work your way through all of the most direct flight itineraries from your origin airport.
>>2878509not impossible but you'll be pretty miserable. The jetlag builds up and you'll get more and more tired. My real advice would be to pay for business class or first class if you really want to do this, so that you can sleep on the plane. But if you could switch it to like 2 weeks on 2 weeks off it would make the travel much more practical.
>>2878509>>2878510Seems like a terrible idea.
>>2878681Its actually to visit a friend I have in Korea. I would do it once. I planned it out and would have 3.5 days total.
>>2878714If its one single time stop being a pussy. Did you just get your passport?
I have a lull in my backpacking trip where I'm trying to meet up with somebody but going ahead to other cities will throw me off after so I'm thinking of going off route for 6 days in China (including flight days)
Beijing is more focused on historical stuff. Chongqing if you want a Blade Runner experience. Beijing has more variety of food. Chongqing is mainly just hotpot and some spicy noodles. If you love spicy food and want to eat it every meal, Chongqing is very satisfying. If you can't handle spicy food at all, you will be miserable.Another big thing is that Chongqing still isn't really geared towards international tourism. Most people speak little to no English. This can be fun if you really want to feel like you're in another part of the world, but might be tough if you're not used to figuring shit out on your own with zero assistance all in a language you presumably don't speak. Beijing gets lots of tourists and business travelers, so it's very easy to get around.I personally preferred Chongqing. But my first trip to China was Beijing and I'm kind of glad I did so. Beijing was a gentler introduction to the country and made me want to visit again. But Chongqing feels much more dramatic and has more of a wow factor, though I can see how some people would be very overwhelmed.
>>2878655Honestly I kind of want to feel lost in a new world. My backpacking trip has been four months I've seen enough history, done enough treking and nature, I feel like Chongqing will be more different than beijing from what I've been doing in SE Asia and will continue to do afterThe idea of just walking aimlessly is really appealing. Whereas Beijing there'll be pressure to go see the forbidden city and the wall and this and that. IDK I've loved the days on my trip in tiny villages in Laos so much. I feel like Chongqing can get the feeling of no pressure to do anything specific just take it in in the same way, even though of course the environment is different than a Laotian village lol>. But Chongqing feels much more dramatic and has more of a wow factor, though I can see how some people would be very overwhelmed.That's sort of what I'm looking for more than anything. Thanks for your help! I think that pretty much decides it for me :)
I'm backpacking through SE Asia and my dad wants to join me in Vietnam. He'll have 7 FULL days (and probably half days when he arrives and leaves)For that amount of time I am thinking Hanoi + Sapa. Maybe :-dad arrives probably in afternoon or evening of day 0 in hanoi-2 full days in Hanoi2 days in Ninh Binhovernight bus to Sapa1 day leisurely in Sapa2 day trekking through ethnic villages in Sapaovernight bus back to HanoiFly home for dadI am just arriving to Vietnam from Laos the day before him and it's my first time too so hopefully this is a good plan for his short amount of time?
>>2877284Sounds like a good plan, could definitely drop Nihn Bihn to 1 day
>>2877427I am doing 4+ months backpacking. My dad can only join for 8 days lol
>>2877284>7 full days LOLCricket dick vacation duration
>>2877284>2 full days in HanoiHanoi is full of air pollution and communist shit but despite that there are many fun things to do there. Old town is very fun and so is that bun cha place obama went. Catholic churches have a surprising amount of property there despite all the communism. >Ninh BinhBeautiful place. Took my wedding photos here. >overnight bus to SapaI took an overnight bus to Sa Pa from Ha Long Bay and it was a terrible experience. The bus was an hour late and the sleeping compartment was too small for me since I am 6'1. I would not want to be stuck in there with my dad, so you better get 2 tickets. They stopped at a random Pho place in the middle of nowhere at midnight. It was surprisingly busy because in Vietnamese culture they enjoy eating full meals in the middle of the night. One thing you really take for granted about public washrooms in the western world is that if someone has diarrhea shits that they can't miss the toilet. This is not true for squat toilets. I saw things no white man should ever have to see.>SapaThis is a fun place. It also had the prettiest women. Go to a restaurant where they wear traditional clothes and have fun exploring places. The highways that travel north from there pass through extremely beautiful mountains and mountain villages.
>>2878650> if someone has diarrhea shits that they can't miss the toilet.uhhmmmmI have at times

>>2878069stop crying and go to africa or sth instead brokie
>>2878074No thank you, Africa is pretty expensive
>>2876692>using cuckbnb while travelingI would never. >>2876738Obviously a mutt with african admixture. Disgusting creaturas. So fat he has to keep the A/C at 20 C in a tropical country. Why not fuck off back to shitcago or whatever shithole he came from? Bet it's nice and chilly there in the wintertime. >>2878045Completely false. I have minimal body fat, I am quiet even when I get nasty, and I insist on fairness in my business dealings at all times. And no, I don't want to talk about fucking donald trump for the umpteenth time.
Going to Seoul May 8-11.Thinking about that XtheLEAGUE pop-up on the 10th.Is it gonna be a total zoo? Thoughts?
Is USA worth living at as a male in his 20s?
>>2875261>...and if your a perv eastern europe chasing non liberal womenwhich flavor of third worlder are these xitter accounts trying to trick dissatisfied white losers into blowing their western income in underdeveloped third world shitholes?why does nobody talk about how many there are, and how many white morons take them as savants?
>>2878450>The employee has to obey his boss to get paid as per the employment agreementThis. It's a simple concept, but so commonly misunderstood. Your job is to obey your manager. Engineering, or whatever your job is, is secondary at best. Your manager already has their favorites and choice of who they want in what position. Maybe it's you, maybe it's not. Your position in the company/team is already decided by them and what you do won't do much to change that. If your position is to tackle the more difficult problems, and coach the others, then you have to do that to survive. Then maybe when layoff season rolls around you're on the chopping block anyway. Your work, qualifications, and experience don't really matter. Your career begins and ends with your manager.>I've gotta learn to be less honest. Pretend like I'm broke and intend to be stuck wagecuckingIf you have options then you're considered a "flight risk."
>>2875261Really Eastern Europe for pervs? Have I been doing it wrong?
>>2878566One time I got fired on the spot a day after telling the owner's brother that I was planning to move on from my new job after the summer season ended. It was freaking April.
>>2878523Until the American government starts serving its people instead of neglecting them for foreign interests, I will continue to take as much of my earnings out of the US economy as I possibly can. Go where you are appreciated. It's that simple.
Anyone know where I can find soft drugs in the Netherlands? LSD, MDMA, Shrooms, and other hallucinogenics. I just moved there as an expat and have no contacts
>>2878453How 2 expat in Holland? I have a EU passport if that helps.
>>2878453Who the fuck considers acid a soft drug beyond maybe like Anton Newcombe and Jim Morrison
>>2878473Highly skilled migrant visa is what I used but you need a degree and have to make a certain amount.
>>2878453They sell most stuff in those head shops. Shrooms (but only as truffles) and I saw peyote too. Probably legal if it's "natural", there's a grey area about natural stuff like ayahuasca. But it's a difference if you buy it and use it yourself vs using it in a retreat.
>pack 5 undies>shart myself in all of them except one>in a very rural place in Laos so I can’t find any store that sells my size(XXL)>only place I know where I can clean it, I need to hand over my soiled undies to the laundry operator which would be embarrassing>tummy hurts and I’m panicking I will soil the last one which I’ve worn for over 4 daysWhat do I do bros?

I was considering Taipei as a living abroad option and would appreciate any input. It wouldn't be until 2028 or so. I am in the process of getting my masters in teaching Secondary English. I was hoping to teach at international schools or private Christian schools. I am pretty passionate about my faith and I know there aren't many Christians in Taiwan. I know of a few churches in Taipei that speak English but I am studying Chinese.>I am an intermediate swing dancerI researched a few spots that do swing dancing.>I do weight trainingI know they have gyms there.>I have a gaming laptopbut I'm not opposed to gaming cafes if they have them.I'm basically looking to live a fun sustainable lifestyle without having to drive all the time. (I'm American and I hate driving but do it everyday).I am single and have this idea of finding another expat who wants to travel and teach in various countries.

Why is it that every time you ask people what there is to do in a city, all they talk about is restaurants, bars and museums?
>>2878540wowie zowie wood panels???
>>2878548sometimes they get very intricate and you can see the natural graining of the wood and you can get very ornate shapessome properties imported artisans from europe to help with wood and stone cuttingnot every house has nice stuff, but some had a lot of effort put in
>>2878553NATURAL GRAINING!?!?!???
>>2878372The biggest noob travel mistake I made was staying in big cities too long. When I was in Seoul I was there for a week and couldn't wait to go home by the time I was done.For most cities 3 nights is more than enough.
>>2878563>one week>too longlol. you need at least 18 months to start to see seoul
Anyone been to Ukraine lately? How was it
>>2878315Do turd-worldists unironically believe that russia isn't corrupt and ruled by kikes? Putin is already replacing those russians he sent to death with africans and jeets
>>2877413Source? The twitter poster in question is some random NAFO bot and he didn't provide anything of the sort
>>2878336unlike the based and natsoc Ukraine which is definitely NOT led by those people and presently abducting ukrainian men off the streets to die and be replaced with jeets/africans? When will you faggots realise both sides want to kill as many white people as possible?
>>2877334>>2877413Both of them are going to import 1 gazillion browns and blacks because they annihilated their already shit demographics for a war over nothing. Putin’s legacy will be placing the tombstone on the grave of the East Slav in history.
>>2878561>>2878336>>2878328Fuck off back to /pol/
Things to do in Chicago during the summer?My three "must-dos" are (1) eat a really nice Chicago-style pizza, (2) see an improv comedy show, and (3) hang out near Lake Michigan. I'm also really into photography, so anywhere that I can get nice photos (nature, buildings, people, etc.) would be nice to visit.I'll be there for about 3 or 4 days.
>>2878513>Things to do in Chicago during the summer?restaurants, bars and museums
>>2878513I'm gonna DOOOOOOOOOI'm DOOOOOOOOOINNNNNNNG ahhhhhhhhhh nnnnggggrrrhhhh
>>2878544>restaurants, bars and museums I'm not really a museum person desu.Any restaurants you'd recommend? I'd like to go to Guzman y Gomez for the Mexican food. I've only been there once, in Singapore. As for bars, I like chill places where people can just hang out and chat without much else happening. I'm definitely not into extremely fancy places where you have to dress up, or clubs with loud music and dancing and everything.
