you listed one of the most expensive cities accomodation wise and you're surprised. if you want cheap go portugal, spain, poland or baltic and balkan states. if you still want to visit specifically thise countries you listed then you have to settle for some hostel/shared accomodation or maybe somewhere outside of the city. dublin is exceptionally expensive as far as the accomodation is concerned. in munich and rest fo the germany you can try looking on wg- gesucht dot de (website mostly for renting out accomodation mostly shared) but sometimes people who go our of their apartments for holidays can rent it out for a week or two for like 300-400

Malfunctioning drain flaps allow sewer odors to permeate buildings. It's a very common problem in Third World hotel rooms. America has a maintenance crisis. The country is quite literally falling apart as fast as it is being built new.

Ah my days coding systems for cruise sites. I was actually the lead developer working on one of the big cruise line's sites. Hopefully everyone's moved over to APIs (ideally via Amadeus) rather than the hell that was managing faulty inconsistent CSVs from a dozen companies.

Anyhow, here's feedback:
You need the departure port and end port showing in results and ideally available as a filter. Lots of people cruise because they don't like flying.

You post on here and you don't have a solo cruise price/filter?

I wouldn't include "call for prices" in results by default. Very few people want to call in general, let alone when using a price tracker site. There was a slightly autistic company where they flat out refused to let their bookings be booked via E-commerce (despite it being offered at no cost by our company) and when you "booked" it was really "let us call you about it" but they had a very specific target market.

It's a pain in the arse maintaining but linking to the ships stops people going to google to see what the ship is like.

>>2825314
Are those dyslexia fonts or something?

>>2825645
wow cool, great experience.

Interesting thing about departure port, will definetly add it, personaly I dont like the UI experience of filters but I dont get how to improve them.

About solo filtering, you mean filter by number of persons? This is a bit complex in current implementation because in this case I need to have price calculation more complex and I dont have even in database this information if some cabin is fine for single and would price would be.

"call for prices" I will remove it, was like a placeholder as app doesnt make any booking

foto of ships, good idea thanks

>>2825928
Solo prices are usually listed as their own thing (or there's a markup % to add for them, may be listed as single supplement). They can vary massively. The standard is 80-100% markups but sometimes they're a lot smaller for last minute cruises and some cruise lines offer special single cabins that have a lower markup. Fuck Princess Cruise where they have a markup that's 110%.

Standard for filters is checkboxes on the left or for a mobile friendly option, a hamburger icon that does a full screen overlay

simple question, how do I know which cruises AREN'T filled to the brim with ghetto atlanta hoodrats twerking all over the boat?

>>2826832
Short cruises are booze cruises. Once you go past 5 days it eases up a lot. Carnival, Costa and MSC are the biggest booze cruise lines and get the clientele to match. More expensive cruise lines also tend to have a better class of passengers. The number of formal nights and the strictness of the policy tend to be a good way of gauging the passenger types they're aiming for.

I kind of like San Francisco, even as someone who can't stand liberals, but I will repeat something the car rental people told me, which you should know. Don't leave any bags or really anything in your car, leave that shit spotless, especially downtown people will break windows for things.

With that said, go check out San Francisco's outdoor botanical garden, probably one of the best in the US. Also enjoyed the Trolley museum.

While I wouldn't in any way spend the majority of my time there, Oakland has a certain authenticity and grit that I somewhat enjoyed. Probably would be less enjoyable if I spent a longer amount of time there but Lake Merritt is actually really nice and a good way to see Oaktown. Few good hipsterish restaurants nearby.

>>2826004
trolley museum sounds good

Golden Gate park is amazing at sunrise. A trip over to Sausalito is fun too. Actually I recommend the areas in the West of the city close to the coast. They have a very chill vibe even though there’s nothing going on. You’re visiting at the ideal time of the year for weather too.

Don't drop the soap

Apparently Clipperton has a volcanic chimney called "trou sans fond" (bottomless hole) in the lagoon. Its bottom has never been reached because it's filled with deadly sulfuric gases. The lagoon water has a high concentration of E. Coli which makes it hardly drinkable (although accounts of a crew stranded there in the 60s apparently say that it was drinkable).
There's also a story of tyranny and murder by hammer amongst stranded mexicans living there in the 1910s ("les oubliés de Clipperton").

>>2827738

I'm quite interested in doing some sort of Mongolian Empire tourism. I don't understand why it isnt that popular. Riding horseback through the vast expanse of the steppe, raping and murdering nomads as we terrorise every town. I just finished the Genghis Khan book by Jack Weatherford, and now listening to the Fall of civilisations podcast about the Mongols (although it's shit, too heavily produced).

sure it would be cool to go here so you can tell bitches you've been to the eye of the sahara, or lost city of Atlantis, but there are similar structures all around the world. It's a 50 zillion year old volcano that's collapsed on itself. I recently went to a day safari at Pilanesberg South Africa, which they say is the same.

I want to visit Pitcairn Islands. There are very few opportunities per year and it's not guaranteed you can make land.

How do I avoid getting scammed when renting?
I'm looking into renting a small studio, and want to get some more info, the host didn't respond.
I've contacted them repeatedly, is this red flag for a scammer?
It's the basecamp student flat, through AirBnB.

>>2827464
Well I was there, and everywhere is just full of people chatting in their own groups, just like every other city in the world.
The concept of picking people up at a bar is a myth. You meet people at school, work, or online and go on pre planned dates.

so I have a question, what is the general opinion on DB? next year im going to start working with them, but im not from germany and I don't what the consensus about them is

How's basecamp accommodation in Dortmund?
The AirBnB doesn't show actual rooms and just "ideal", and there aren't much of review

It’s a massive problem, things that could be answered in the jpn general are being made into threads and deleting threads from lesser talked about countries. 10 threads at once is fucking way too much.

>>2827448
Actually, you're right. How do you prevent it though?

Generally a 'no low effort thread' rule could help it. Difficult to single out a single country though. Maybe minimum character limits on threads, if possible?

Not sure if you’re being totally sincere or just joking, but this is obviously an option, as is the perpetually nomadic/always traveling lifestyle.

While I’ve never personally felt quite rootless enough to want to keep moving forever, I’ve spent two extended periods (3.5 years when I was young, 6.5 years much later, when I wasn’t anymore) as a full-time expat. In both cases, I was able to enjoy a semi-permanent home base from which I took short local/regional trips as often as I could.

I’m really grateful to have been able to do that, but I would never suggest that it is an ideal—expatriate life can be immensely rewarding, but it can just as easily be socially and emotionally damaging. I’ve known dozens of serial expats who have chosen to be bounced all over the world for decades, their entire adult lives, usually by their ostensibly impressive multinational corporate careers, and a lot of them end up really weird, neurotic, unhappy people. And it can be particularly taxing for people who have or want families (although it doesn’t have to be, and certainly isn’t always). Lots of divorces and children who grow up resentful.

>>2826412
No retard it's just a price/value calculation. You look at what you are actually getting for what you are paying realize it's a scam and a shitty dangerous one at that, then pick somewhere else.

Belize has pristine nature and coral reefs. Otherwise, it is less interesting than all its neighbors. The only pleasant towns in the country are San Ignacio, which is essentially a Guatemalan city, and Hopkins, where alcoholic blacks will sell you 7/10 seafood for cheap.
Costa rica has better rainforests, but much worse snorkeling. If you want a good balance of aquatic adventures and rainforest hikes, Belize is good.

What about rooral India? I can handle farm poop smells and the occasional cloud of burning trash smoke, but concentrated odors of human excrement rising from a floor drain in the hotel bathroom is abhorrent. I'd rather not have a bathroom in the room if that's gonna be the case, especially if the bathroom doesn't have an outside window.
