You can make it here. Schools are all privately owned, you don't even need a tefl, just bullshit a resume and dress nice. Felon? Failure? It doesn't matter, you can start fresh here.

Ladies and gentlemen, Tkyosam has, sadly, passed away in Tokyo, Japan due to complications from diabetes.Let’s all take a moment to remember him.
>>2637102only mutts like you think it's bad to be fat
>>2637204>>2641121That's not true and you know it, turdie
>>2633679Surprised he has lived as long as he has, been fat long as I've known about him though fatasses like Boogie2988 and WingsofRedempetion manage to live a long ass time as well for being so fat. Looking I don't see anywhere else besides /trv/ that he has died.
>>2633679He’s disgusting, but honestly based in a shameless type of way.

Going to Japan in October.Want to potentially stay for longer than the 90 days of the tourist visa allows, but don’t know the best way to go about it. You can’t change a tourist visa to any other visa type while you’re in Japan as far as I know. Money isn’t a concern.Student visa would require me to be at a language school 20 hours a week, which I’m not entirely opposed to, but really don’t want to be locked down to one area. I’ve read of people getting work visas and then quitting their job once they get to Japan. The visa remains attached to the person, not the company, and (apparently) as long as you prove to immigration every 3 months that you are actively looking for a new job (if they even contact you), you’re good to go.From US so working holiday visa isn’t an option.I’ve been researching this incessantly online and would appreciate any input or advice.
>>2643560Can I just stay in Korea for a day? How long do I have to wait before coming back?
>>2643303Get a double-entry visayou could try the old trick of hopping over the pond to South Korea for a few days when you near the 90 days and returniong to Japan for another 90 days after that, but I don't know if that's possible anymore
>>2643303>Money isn’t a concern.fly to Busan for the weekend after 10 weeks and then fly back to Japan, getting a new visa.
>>2643778You have to stay in Korea for exactly two days. No more no less. If you don't it will insult the Japanese because you broke tenshuido rule and they will force you to commit seppuku before beheading you.It sucks but that's the way it is.

Semi nomad. How would one go about getting real work (not like WWOOFing) without the rigamarole of applications, fake interviews, and penis inspections. If anything I would prefer real interviews.My ideal is showing up to a farm in Amish country and then working until the sun goes down. I don’t want to take up something where the first few months i’m just “putting my time in” before i’m allowed to do something. How did you find or build your employment that works well for you.
>>2643629It actually sounds so chill in these grunt factories because you work when you want, you get paid by weight. Only problem is doing that won't give you a girlfriend in hell. Somebody fucked up when they created reality because buddy that is a fucking prison sentence.
>>2643631PO Box is ineligible as a domicile address. The only time I've found a PO Box to be useful in the past few years is when I had to renew my passport. Not sure if you can have that sent general delivery... Getting my driver's license was a big hassle; the initial license bounced because the address I had it mailed to was not my official residence, so I paid $12 for a replacement license. No address requirement for the replacement, kek.I registered my vehicle using the address of the guy who sold it to me. Strangely enough, cops don't give a fuck about the address on your registration slip matching with the one on your driver's license. But getting your vehicle registered in the first place can be a problem. States have even started cracking down on private mailbox services that many nomads have been using as domiciles to register their RVs and vans.I had a friend who gave me permission to use his daughter's address as a domicile after I helped reconnect him with his old meth dealer. I never met her or visited the property, but for five years it was listed as my legal residency. I even used it to cast my vote in 2016. Whenever any official gave me trouble about it, I'd tell them "I don't have a house, but that's the address I claim as a legal residence". >>2643636Then what? Stake out their mailbox and swipe your shit out of it when it finally arrives?
>>2643629Farmworkers are lazy. LMFAO. What a load of crock.Beet harvest in North Dakota is a major moneymaker every fall for all sorts of traveling folk. You work twelve hour shifts, either day shift or night shift, 7 days a week until the harvest is complete. Harvest work is definitely in my radar to top up my travel fund for another six plus months in Asia next winter. My van's gotta last the summer though...
>>2644325>put down address you grew up in/friends place>put shipping address as PO box>"hey anon why are these different?">Oh I've moved here and a friend offered me his place till I got a feel for the area so I just have a PO box for most things right now till I get my apartment settled."Wow... so fucking hard

Can some anons share?
>>2644283Yes, MN/WI (god’s country) do have mountian lions.I’ve come across a lot of black bears in wisconsin. More than any state, even yellowstone area of wyoming.
>>2644271That's nice. I have seen tigers and leopards multiple times including cubs as youngs as 3 months :)>>2644270Bangladesh has 65% of Sunderbans and despite that India has better management in all aspects of conservation. Indian Sunderbans is even said to have a higher tiger density. >>2644273Thanks desu will look into it. The best place in the world for cougar sightings is Torres Del Paine tho
>>2644099(((holywood))) and a popular book made by a retard sold the idea to other retards (specially woman) that India is some spiritual place to "find yourself">>2644199>need a constant force of pajeets to keep the leopards in check>co-exist
>>2644317It's called monitoring retard. If this isn't co-existence then what it is? American and African approach to conservation is very different to Indian one
>>2643794very good
Happy Sunday Catchan,I thought I might tap into the collective travel knowledge here since we are all a bit of a diverse bunch from varying backgrounds. So I just booked a flight to Japan next month May 3 to Jun 1 and I'd like to hear any tips or reccomendations from those who have visited there or anywhere in the Orient really. This seems like one of the best months to travel there. Golden Week is just ending so less crowds and just before the wet season and before summer vacation for much of the world. I got a large backpack and plan to buy a second hand piece of luggage to load up with goodies before I head back. I know there might be a bit of a culture shock when I get there so I am doing my best to be prepared as this country is probably the most "different" country I have been to. So please share any thoughts or your experience in the matter. I am a well off male around 40 and I am planning on staying at a variety of different properties including ryokans, capsule hotels, hostels and Marriott properties as I am a Ambassador Elite with them. Also, I love hot springs and considering walking the Nakasendo Trail. A good primer or must knows would be very helpful for my trip. Thanks!
>>2645050I did a month japan trip blind last summer and recommend sticking to three weeks
>>2646338Why?
>>2646338Blind you mean on-the-fly? I am at a few days less than a month. Why is a little less than a week more too much?
>>2646338Traveling with a blindfold seems a bit dangerous
>>2646384I honestly don't know what he was trying to say. I an going to guess that he meant he was going to visit without any research and kind of do it with children "on the fly" meaning book accommodations and decide what or who you want to do on the day of. I totally understand that and it's a cool way to travel, but I am not sure how great of an extent you can do that in Japan. Maybe some if it's off season or shoulder season.
What is the smallest bag you think you could get away with international travel?This last trip I took a 45L max size carry on and a near 40L personal item and had it stuffed full of clothes I didn't use and other bulk. That bag even bursted at the seams at the end of the trip. Now I'm thinking to take only one backpack at 20L. Can it be done? So what if you don't change clothes often. And I didn't even use 80% of the other doodads I packed besides clothes. It would make exploring around the city and hotel hopping so much more exciting.
>>2643876:(
>>2643861I spent 30 days in Japan with a 40L backpack and a smaller 20L day pack, both started at ~80% capacity to keep room for souvenirs. It was more than enough for getting around the country, I never rewore clothes. On the tail end of my trip in my last hotel I bought a suitcase to check one way on the way back and filled it with souvenirs, which is the best option.
Let me guess, you need more?
>>2644008This is your best option

How many bad reviews complaining about the same thing before you should take it seriously? This resort has 4.5 stars on trip advisor and nearly 10000 reviews but in the past year there has been atleast 20 reviews from what I can see, which say they or their family were repeatedly sexually harassed by the workers groping and things like that. I’d be going with my gf so that’s the only reason I’m questioning this other than that the place looks amazing.
>>2643493you’ve clearly never been to the Caribbean with a woman. All the men over there think white women are easy especially if they’re drunk.
>>2643896I have I just don't go to resorts or %chain% places.
Nothing anyone says could outweigh 'recent trend of customer harrassment" imo. If the recent posts have regular complaints every so often its shit. This could be the beginning of the end. Like a game on steam that got a garbage update. Questionable service is one of the only definitive reasons i wouldnt give a place money.
>>2643454I only worry if there's a lot of reviews bitching about the same thing either in a short time range before my booking or spaced evenly throughout the hotel's entire existence. If it's a streak of "X is shit" that was 10 reviews a year ago and then the topic disappeared entirely, I ignore it. Otherwise there's an obvious trend that'll likely affect me too.Bedbugs are the sole exception. I see a single review about bedbugs ever, into the trash it goes. I don't care if "they surely fixed it afterwards and just didn't spot them in time", if a single customer had to go through these, you irredeemably fucked up.Oh yeah, and I'm also extremely sceptical of any place that does not provide pictures of the bathroom. Always a good reason for that.
>>2643454google reviews are good
Is this a safe country to travel to? How are tourists treated by the American people? What states do you recommend avoiding if any?
>>2639260>Is this a safe country to travel to?Generally speaking, yes. The most surefire way to avoid crime in America is to avoid any urban area with large populations of blacks, which means most major cities on the East Coast and the Midwest. When your hear about gun violence in America, 99.9% of what you're hearing about is black gang violence. They also artificially boost other crime statistics too. You won't get any guns pulled on you outside of major cities unless you start trouble. You will be much safer sticking to rural and suburban areas, but keep in mind that mass transit is almost nonexistent, even in large cities, so you will either need to rent a car or make use of Ubers to get around.>How are tourists treated by the American people?You'll be treated well, especially if you're from a European country, though America is so multiethnic that nobody will care about your race. Some regions are more welcoming than others; the South is known for its hospitality while the Northeast is generally regarded as being comparatively rude. The West Coast is fairly friendly as well. The big thing is that you must be able to speak at least a little English because the vast majority of Americans only speak English. Also, hostels in America are almost nonexistent. Cheap lodging in America means dirty or dangerous (or both). You will have to take this into account when planning your lodging.>What states do you recommend avoiding if any?Not so much states, but cities. As previously stated, avoid any city with a large black population. This includes: Baltimore, Atlanta, Detroit, Memphis, Washington DC (outside of the touristy areas), Chicago, Philadelphia, St. Louis (avoid this one like the plague), Kansas City, Milwaukee, and even New York City is very bad in some places. If you do choose to go to these cities, it's imperative that you research which neighborhoods have the highest crime rates so you'll know which areas to avoid.
>>2639268US is not a tourist country. There's so much shit you have to deal with visiting most major cities that you're not gonna get outside of the western hemisphere. OP this map will save you a lot of trouble. Don't go to any of the shaded places.
>>2644186please stop posting like you've been out of the US.
>>2644034>and even New York City is very bad in some placesI will be travelling to New York in October. Where in particular should I avoid? I will be staying in a hotel in the middle of Manhattan (just south of cental park) so I presume that area should be safe enough? I've always been given the impression that Manhattan is basically safe, and that all the dangerous areas are outside of it (such as the Bronx, etc). Is that true?

Bros, heading to Switzerland next Wednesday w my brother. Been a lazy pos and he pretty much planned the whole trip. How’s this looking? Anything missing you’d highly recommend or something you’d say to avoid? Love hiking but not a fan of congested areas as I like to hike to get away from the rest of normies. For transit according to my calculations it’s cheaper to just buy our tickets as we go as opposed to a 6 day travel pass by about $36. Any nuances involved with the day to day plan that would make the 6 day pass the better option?
>>2643683I have recieved a from the otherworld. It claimed you weren't lazy. Why would I hear this young man? You should be working even harder than that in hell or else god is going to burn you slave.
You don't need a full day to explore the old town of Lucerne, even more for Interlaken.

How the fuck did Bald not at least get robbed? Were there parts of the Darien video that seemed fabricated? And in general - how does he keep getting away with it?
>>2644827Think about it, if you're a husky white able-bodied gringo with a UK passport, you'd probably be seen as wealthy and thus have the resources to help people get to the destination. If you prove yourself to be an asset and not a liability, then no one is going to fuck with you. The only sketchy part was him continuing to film people who clearly did not want to be filmed, but I think it wouldn't matter I guess, as long as he doesn't record the trafficking gang's operations. Also, it benefits the migrants in a way optically to be shown in a documentary of sorts showcasing the hardships of illegal immigration, so it can gain sympathy for the migrants and be a real tear-jerker for people up north. He probably paid off some shady guys in order to do this, which probably wasn't much for Bald as it is for the migrants. The traffickers usually also take the migrants passports too and basically have to comply with whatever they want because they know they are desperate. And if you don't, you will end up stranded/dead. Bald can just pay the fees and move on. Those who can't pay will have to do quid pro quos and get themselves entangled with gang shit. The Darién Gap is also a wild west for criminals so just think about all the miscreants that are lurking in those woods. >>2645300Do you know what projection is? It's when you presume someone is as insecure about something as you are. Clearly Bald is not insecure about it, as it's his moniker. You clearly are and desperately trying to fight off your thinning hairline like an anxious tranny taking finasteride and becoming chemically castrated in the process. God forbid you ever lose your hair. Grow the fuck up.

Going to picrel for 5 days next month. What do if I want to eat with and talk to Polish people and avoid filthy tourists like myself
>>2643458you go to a bar mleczny
>>2643458Foodwise I recomme Antler Poutine & Burger, it's kinda close to the main plaza (like 2 minutes walking distance), when I was there, the 500g of meat burger with poutine was 25zlt which is really huge value. It was tasty and juicy. Just my recommendation. This was 4 years ago though keep in mind
>>2646268Also you can't avoid tourists there, you'll overhear people talking in several languages as you walk around. There's a ton of Brazilians and British people there.
>>2646268I can guarantee you this is no longer the case. Eating out went ~80-100% up since COVID, the cheaper the place the worse it got. 25zł is about right for a medium kebab or chink takeaway now.
>>2643458Need to give more info on what you're looking for, the things you like, and what you're aiming to get out of the trip. If you can't provide any of the above, then tourist traps are probably your thing.
For those of you who travel a lot what's the best experience you have had on a flight booked with credit card points and with what airline did you use? Also, with and what credit card did you use to get those points? I want to go to Japan one day and say up my points so that I'm able to get a first class experience for almost no extra cost.I'd like to apply Amex Gold card one day and get that welcome owner but they don't have the special offer right now.
>>2646298Fortunately I have a Charles Schwab debit card, it's honeslty a fucking blessing never having to pay ATM fees ever again and being able to invest in one account. I'm not sure if I would get the Charles Schwab Amex Platinum just because $695 is so expensive for someone who only travels twice a year.Right now I have an Discover card, Amazon Prime Visa card (which I just used my points for an economy flight) and the BILT Mastercard, but I would love to get the Amex Gold and Capitol One Venture X once I make more money and end my CC rotation with that.
>>2646523Thanks anon, I'll also look into the Charles Schwab™ collection.
>>2646522You can get a Southwest card, it's a pretty good deal as far as rewards if you fly on southwest a lot.
I'm envious of all the credit card perks Americans have access to. As a European our credit card perk options are much more limited. No cards give us hotel night credits or free miles.
>>2646522>should I get a capital one venture or Amex gold/platinum to cover everything else? Sort of your call. I had one of the Amex black cards for a couple of years, and enjoyed a lot of smaller perks (used it for quite a lot of lounge access when flying coach, got a handful of free flights and hotel nights out of it, once got my wife a free pair of comically overpriced sunglasses, etc.). But I left the country and didn’t use it often enough, so they eventually bumped me back down to Platinum when it expired. I still have it, but I barely use it, so I don’t get much of anything out of it anymore. But being as much of a high roller on a platinum (or I guess also gold?) version as you can afford should throw you some decent crumbs.I don’t know anything about Capital One except that they used to have ads featuring rampaging Vikings. Regarding your United card, if you don’t currently have any status with them, it might be worth overpaying for UA flights home (or to other locations) for a few years if it could get you there. I have always found airline status more beneficial than card points to my overall enjoyment of travel, although the benefits have gotten a lot stingier and more expensive over the past decade. I was only able to maintain it to the point where it felt nice for a few years, when I was a frequent business traveler. Takes some real effort and cash to do it on your own dime.
