I've found myself with an absurd amount of hotel points, and the chain (Wyndham) charges a flat fee when paying in points, so I want to maximize them by staying in places where hotels are as expensive as possible. As an example, it's the same amount of points for a night in Orlando and a night in New York, but Orlando has an abundance of cheap roadside motels while in New York it's pretty much impossible to find anything of any quality for under $200 or $300 a night.
>>2831522No one is jealous of Wyndham points. I once collected them, got to Diamond (which is also Caesars Diamond), only to find nowhere to redeem any of it because everything about the chain is low rent. If you're a /trv/cel and only go to shitholes it might be ok, but no normal person would say at such a property as a leisure stay. I only manage to dispose of all of my Wyndham points by transferring them to Caesars (over years because there's an annual transfer cap) and just had a nice time on Las Vegas trip.
>>2831301>>2831591If it were up to me they wouldn't be Wyndham points but that's the hand I've been dealt. >>2831297If American hotels are more expensive, then wouldn't the points go further in the US since it's a flat rate?

Is it worth it?I'm thinking about going in january/february/march since flights are cheaper and it won't be overcrowed with normies. But is it worth it? Are all museums open in winter?
>>2831203Winter in Tokyo is about the same temperature as in London, but it can be colder than in London.Tokyo summers are humid as hell, but winters are drier than in London, so women should use moisturizing cream and lip balm to prevent skin irritation.
>>2822803I heard its beautiful. Do they have Christmas stuff? Because if they don't I'll never visit in December
>>2822803winter in japan is incredibly comfy. imo it's the most temperate time to visit>won't be overcrowed chinese new year is a fucking nightmare>>2823183otaru is really cool. asahikawa is an easy day trip from sapporo as well & worth visiting. if you luck out w/ early season snowfalls tenguyama ropeway at night is kino. noboribetsu would be another good day trip if you have the time
>>2833113>noboribetsu OnsenDamn that place looks gorgeous. I may head straight over here after landing in Chitose. Thanks!
>>2833285Onsen in the winter is pure fucking SOVL. Did so in Beppu. Kyoto and by Fuji both times I have been there in the winter time. The crisp air, the piping hot water, the views of the mountains, and butt ass naked.
Is this a good place to visit?

I wanna take a road trip around New England this October. I'm driving up from the south, with my main destination being Salem MA, and stopping in some other cool attractions in MA and CT along the way. What are some good stops along the way? It'll be October, so I'm particularly looking for spooky, Halloween, or just general Fall themed attractions, but any interesting suggestions are welcome. I'll probably come back during Thanksgiving to see the rest of the region too.Also general New England thread
>>2820357So I get the New England got hit hard by de-industrialization, but what industries are still out there besides retail, fishing, education, and tech (Boston)? Asking for a friend.

Serious Florida-bros, Where to choose to re-locate, considering between St. Pete in Old NE or Kenwood versus kinda more vibing Tampa life in Seminole Heights or South Tampa.I think beach access would be preferred and would want to avoid shitty bridge traffic. Does Clearwater have any good local vibes places for drinks and good food?

I'm going with a friend (both 33 and male). Pic related is the luxury hotel in Aqaba where we will be chilling. Any tips, things you'd change, things to look out for? We have a Jordan pass of course. I'd like to go diving in Aqaba but my ears are pretty fucked, probably couldn't take the pressure. Day 1: arrive in Amman around midnight. Day 2: visit Jerash & Jordan museum, anything else? Day 3: drive along Dead Sea route, lunch somewhere along the way. Stops at Madaba, Mt. Nebo, Kerak? Arrive in Aqaba late in the evening. Day 4 to 6: chill and light activities in/around Aqaba luxury hotelDay 7: drive to and visit Wadi Rum, spend the night thereDay 8: drive to and visit Petra (evening)Day 9: continue to visit Petra (morning), chill evening and go to bed earlyDay 10: wake up early, drive to airport
>>2831952>No clue why it mattersBecause homosexuality is punishable by death in Jordan, it's best if you guys get separate rooms.
>>2831952If you started blowing each other you wouldn't have to fill in so much time
>>2831934I personally found traffic around the country to be stressful, especially in Aqaba. Though if you're in a resort away from the centre its probably nice. I crossed into Eilat which was far nicer in every aspect. Honestly outside of Wadi Rum (which we went past on bus) I went through tbat itinerary in around 3-4 days. People in Amman are nice but the Bedouin in Petra will be harassing you everywhere you go. Just be stern and you'll be fine. Amman has a good hostel and there's a restaurant iirc owned by the goverbment which does all sorts of local food
>>2832019This is not terrible advice.
>>2831934>DriveUhm, anon, I don't think that's a good idea, not beacause you would be kidnapped or something like that, but because some roads are inan awful state and Jordans drive like crazy.
I'll be spending all of February in Oaxaca, centered in Oaxaca de Juárez. Not going alone, I'll have gf and some family.What are some things to do or to avoid? Interests are:>cuisine>improving my Spanish skills, I will be the primary translator for our group while there. Currently CEFR ~A2 level.>cooking classes>local history>some fashion, I understand there is a textile industry in the areaI'm a remote tech worker but I don't anticipate finding a hackerspace. It would be nice to make local friends while down there.

Spending a week a friend's house in Venetto Italy. Went to Venice, Bologna, Rovigo, Verona, Revana, Forli.Pros:- Not insanely hot- Amazing Food- Beer is not as bad as I thought it woul be.- Everyone looks good, the wops are actually white.- Surprisingly affordable if you aren't dumb.- People are ridiculously friendly, not used to this since I grew up with southerners and they're absolute scum.- Verona is the most beautiful city I've ever seen.- Trains are decent.Cons:- Niggers- Jeets- AbdulsComment too long.

Spent 3 weeks in Italy recently, I went to Milan, Bologna, Florence, Rome, and Naples.Not really a whole lot to see in Milan, the Duomo was incredible though and the Navigli was pretty cool. Thanks to an anon from a previous thread who gave recommendations for restaurants serving Milanese cuisine, I went to Osteria dei Malnat and had excellent osso bucco.The food in Bologna was my favorite out of everywhere I went. Not too much to see here but it was a good time hanging out with locals at the bars. Hardly touristy at all which was nice.Florence was absolutely packed full of tourists, massive chink hordes and other annoying oblivious dumb fucks. I'm not really big on Renaissance art but I figured I had to see it once, and that was plenty for me. The food was really good (at least outside the super touristy areas, I didn't bother trying to eat there), I didn't know really anything about the local cuisine besides bistecca alla fiorentina so I was very pleasantly surprised.It kinda sucks to say I was a bit disappointed by Rome but that's how I felt. The history is of course fascinating and made the visit well worth it, but it was also packed with tourists pretty much everywhere I went. Not as bad as Florence, but in both cities you can also tell that at least some locals are just tired of tourists, and I can't blame them.Naples was my favorite, not touristy, felt like a real city. There's trash everywhere and the drivers are crazy, it's a bit chaotic in a way that makes it feel lively. The people were cool, I love seafood and pizza so the food was great, and I think Pompeii and the archeological museum were the most interesting things I saw on my trip. The view of the city from castel sant elmo was great. I saw people say online that Naples is sketchy/dangerous, but I never felt that way, maybe I just wasn't ever in the bad areas. There were some homeless and a ton of blacks by the central train station but even that wasn't too bad.
I'll be going on an my Italian roadtrip soon and just need some pointers on driving.I won't be driving inside any big cities tho, least I don't plan to. Plan on dropping the car at the hotel then walking with my family.Mostly be around North Italy and a bit of Tuscany... Lucca, Bologna, Verona, Como.>>2823407What's wrong with Tuscany? I'm planning on visiting Lucca but the family also wants to see Florence
>>2796749Hopefully the PM kicks out all the jeets ew can't whites have one damn thing to themselves anymore

>>2832977>What's wrong with Tuscany?Massive tourist trap, even some of the smaller towns.You want to see the monuments, museums, and historical sites then yeah you have to bite the bullet.But if you want to see italian life then go elsewhere like Molise or Marche, preferably a small town that happens to have a hotel or camping spot or a B&B. Less pricy and a lot less globalized tourist bs.
>muh "no one smiles in Poland"WTF is the point of the people saying that?I visited Italy last month.NO ONE smiled either.That's normal. Passerbys smoke their cigarettes and go their way unbothered.WTF else do you expect? Such a retarded accusation

Why are there two companies?Disney parks were initially founded as a way to celebrate the culture and history of America and provide middle class families with a fun-filled immersive experience.

this cracker straight up disappeared
>>2834018I would like to see a park experiment with a full scheduling system where you can declare what rides you intend to go on at the beginning of the day and the system slots out times for you to experience all of it in an order that flows with the walking path of the park with at limited a wait as possible. Maybe it would be a bit annoying for the people who impromptu run around and do whatever, but I think for most families and guests that just want to do everything once and do a big lap of the whole park before leaving, just having a checklist with time windows could be beneficial. Has this ever been attempted? I imagine it would work for the park as well because you would have the bulk of guests out spending money rather than growing irate in line
>>2834089That is possibly the worst idea I have ever heard man. How do you expect a park to be able to gather the proper data from every single one of thousands of guests to provide them a scheduled itinerary with no/minimal wait times? How does this park account for ride closures? How could they possibly manage the sheer number of people in the park? Lines are essential to crowd control. Can you imagine the Magic Kingdom with nearly every guest on a walking path or in a store? No park has ever attempted this because it's a complete fantasy that would never work. The only way it could feasibly happen is if you have extremely limited capacity, but then you wouldn't need such a set-up anyway.

What advice can you give to someone who'll visit America for the first time. Particularly the midwest. How do i interact with the people? What are social norms that I need to be aware of? etc.
>>2832750You guys are just making shit up, no really places like ohio have nothing going on and is filled witb the most generic dude possible Is that controversial? It seems like it would be a no brainer.Like half of this thread is random seethe that everyone in Minnesota is actually a secret devil like lol don’t give us to much credit.The reason you think we seem two face is because we just follow generic social norms ofBe nice to other people in public
>>2832764Like i wish i had a crazy accent, that would be fun. I pull up some youtube video of crazy things on Michiganers do And its like “When you want to leave but don’t seem rude you make an excuse to leave”Uh i think everyone does that? Is that a midwestern tradition because no? LolReally scraping the barrel to stand out
Why did this thread get botted so hard
>>2832746>No accent>no traditions ?????????
>>2832746Midwestern are not the generic of anything. The average American is not a socially inept and humorless malcontent. >>2832764>>2832765You're proving the point that you're all a bunch of dumb cattle with little self-awareness.

people who don't like hostels are either too old to feel like they fit in there, or are young enough but are too socially awkwardall you need to do to fit in in a hostel is go to the bar and get a drinkthere will be other people there and you can talk to them, most of the time you'll end up playing a drinking game or going out to other bars together, and sometimes you'll sleep with someoneit's not a puzzle
>>2832634Most hostels I've stayed at have been lifeless boring places where people don't talk to their fellow guests 99% of the time. >a bunch of poorfagsHostel guests being too poor to afford beer used to be unthinkable. Now nobody wants to drink because it's unhealthy, bro. So everyone lives their own private lives and nobody talks to each other.
>>2832907>nobody talks to each otherwow just like dc, world's unfriendliest city
