Why the fuck is it so expensive?I feel like I'm getting ripped off just browsing the listings for lodging. I guess don't book the week before in summer, eh?
>>2895773Usually there's a discounted weekly rate. Its more expensive than a lease, but these people can cobble it together in a week's time by selling drugs or prostituting. Like I said, these people cant get leases.There are a lot of people in America who have an easier time paying $400/week than they do $1,500 a month rent. That's how day-to-day they are living.
I made it.
>>2895769So many American summer tourist destinations are like that. $180 for a Super 8 tier motel room. Even RV sites are ridiculous, $50 for a tiny patch of shadeless dirt with a spigot and an outlet close to a noisy road. >>2895770Just get a big ass cooler and fill it with ice. Chuck a few beers and steaks in while you're at it. What's so hard about that?
>>2895770It's rarely hot at night in northern Michigan BTW. Only during severe heatwaves will it be over 74 F at night.
>>2897023I saw a ton of shitty motels on the way here. But I have central ac and they don't. Saw ads for twin rooms 40 bucks. Who is gonna sleep on a twin bed?Also literally passed a "bates motel".>>2897024Ok but it's 85 now and I cannot afford to stay anywhere near the coast. I'm basically in Wisconsin.

>>2897253Because of the water vapor, the summer sky in Japan has a pale blue hue even when it’s completely clear and not a cloud in sight.
>>2897672you're talking about LTR which some ppl might want yes but there are things above even face or race - money. the korean thing doesn't even matter. who cares the types who like those guys won't even look at you if anything they're already filtered out.
Got back from my first trip a couple of days ago. Have wanted to visit for 15+ years. Totally different from what I expected. Maybe because I was expecting the early to late 2000s Japan that I knew about in my teens. Still loved it but now all I can think about is how shitty everything is back home and I'm comparing it all to Japan.
>>2897864Japan is the only country that hurts me to leave. But now I go once a year so it makes it easier.
What are the absolute cheapest ways to move between cities and prefectures? On my first trip I just took bullet trains everywhere, but the costs for those rack up real quick so this time I want to save money on transport as much as I can, while still being able to tour a lot of places. I've heard that night buses are a good way to save money in the past, any experiences on what they're like?From Tokyo I want to go to at least Osaka since I have an event I want to attend there, and during the trip I'm interested in seeing Fukuoka, Nagasaki, Miyazaki, maybe Kumamoto, some prefecture in Shikoku island if I can fit it, Aomori and maybe some other northern prefecture, and also Shimane. These aren't in any particular order, and I might not visit all of them in one trip if the logistics don't support it. I'm also interested in finally seeing Hokkaido, but for there I think the obvious plan is to take a domestic flight, from what I'm seeing they aren't even all that expensive. I'll probably be staying at least 4 weeks so I should have time to visit a good amount of spots. Also taking suggestions for places that are easy to get to from Tokyo especially, or ones that might be on the route somewhere in the places mentioned above.
What is there to see here?

Canoeing the Cahaba River during the spring/fall months is fun. Camp on sandbars and get turned up with your friends.
>>2896952that could be done in many states, I want a unique-to-alabama experience
>>2897001>that could be done in many statesThe Cahaba is entirely within Alabama, so you couldn't
>>2897004canoeing on a river is canoeing on a river
>Go to Japan>See a dark skin man smiling and laughing on my hotel tv>Go to downtown Tokyo >See darkskin people being smiling and laughing>Go back to hotel>Look in mirror > A dark skin man is staring at me smiling and laughing Asia is becoming more and more loving of dark skinned people. Especially dark skin men. Brothers and sisters, get your passport and visa and go to Asia. We belong here. They love us here.
japan has fallen
>>2891676the USA were a mistake
You just know they're both getting BLACKED
>haven't been in the mood for traveling the past 3 years>decide to force myself to go this summer>they lose my luggageI swear I'm going to lose my fucking mind over this bullshit
Why would you check your luggage instead of having a carry on bag that always stays with you?
>>2896553He fell for the /trv/ meme that traveling with only a carry-on makes you poor or less of a man.
>>2896541They STOLE your luggage, anon. If it was merely lost, somebody would've sent it to you. My hostel friend here had her suitcase full of sentimental items stolen from checked baggage. Never check anything you're not prepared to lose.
Hello felllow anonsA couple of weeks ago I saw a job offer for this beach bar Amaya Beach Bar, which is on Brac Island , right next to the city of Split, Croatia.Long story short I got introduced to the bar through a HR agency in my country. They told me very brief info , salary, accomodation info and one meal per day , work is six days per week as a cook.I haven't heard from them for two weeks after that, I asked them if there is any answer from the employer, they told me I wasn't accepted, and 15 mins later they called me to inform me that just now things changed and I was now accepted.It turned out the travel expenses to get to the island are quite hefty, so when I asked for more info, they referred me to the beach owner directly.I spoke to them, they told me they need me asap, so I asked them to cover my travel expenses.They sent me 50€ through Revolut, to my shock.I then researched my route and it turned out that the whole one way route is approximately 100€ .When I informed them about the price they just messaged me that they can send me more.Dont they know how much it costs to get to their island?What do you anons think aboyt the whole situation?
>>2896046>>2896047>>2896049Idk if you'll last dude. You ask too many questions. Just shut up and do the work it's not philosophical
>>2895332Serbs will work as waiters and shit cleaners on the croatian coast only to claim superiority o algo lmfao.
I met a Nepali guy who worked at one of those fancy Croatian resorts. He didn't have any complaints, but he didn't have much positive to say about the job either.

>>2894730>ghetto == black
>>2894731No one gives a shit about some clown pretending to flex because he lives in a $20 Mexican shithole. Lmao you paranoid freak
>>2894736Ok, well, I'm outside, touching grass and oggling Mexican girls is the point. Gosh, you are rude as heck, dude.
I visited New York 2 years ago and stayed in midtown, just south of Central Park. What I didn’t like about the area was the large amount of drug addicted homeless people and feral blacks loitering around. I’m planning on returning later this year and I got a good deal on a hotel in the financial district. Is there a noticeably lower concentration of such characters in that area? I’m guessing yes, but it would be good to hear from someone in the know.
>>2896932Damn. Imagine if you went north of central park. midtown is literally nothing in terms of homeless. If you call the midtown blacks feral maybe you're the schizo
>>2896639The exact same. My parents said Marseille was already in 1974 already fully gone and it hasn't change much since then beside pushing redlight and drug scene out of the old town and cleaning it up.
>>2896670guess it was destined to this shit because of it's position
If you want beautiful coastline without the Africans, go 30 minutes over the hill down to Cassis.
>>2896230it was scary back in 2017 when I was there. cannot imagine the state of it now
It’s sad what the French did to their country. It had so much potential with its beauty.
I'm im Singapore for a few days. I love to look at how countries are infrastructure maxxing and have been to Pinnacle at Duxton, HDB hub, URA City gallery and visited some the amazing John Portman hotels featuring mega internal atriums (pic related). Any other recommendations for where I should visit given my interest? Other recommendations not relating to infrastructure maxxing also accepted... Thanks!
>>2896857china, same thing but more of it and better
>>2896857This is /trv/. A board for traveling. This isn't /hoa/ where we talk about living in boring ass suburbs where neighbors snitch on each other for having grass that's the wrong shade of green. Because that's the entirety of Singapore as a country.
>>2896864holy fuck you are seething hard aren't ya lmao
>>2896890Petition Hiroyuki for your /hoa/ board. This place is for travelers.
>>2896902Hiro is a bro, I've bought his mangas
Is Laos the DLC of Thailand?
>>2885855That's a retarded Reddit question.
>>2893173There is a distinct wedding season in Laos, so that if you're there during that time, it may seem like wedding noise constantly. When the monks are in lent (rainy season), there are no weddings, so it is relatively quiet then. People in the countryside, especially the minorities, still have a lot of children (unlike Thailand), so many have to be married off.
>>2892577>there are black people in Laos nowIs there anywhere left?
Best places in Laos that aren't Luang Prabang and Vang Vieng?
>>2886702I want to go here unironically. It sounds kino.
I have to make this drive in a few months and i want to break it up so im not in a car for 15 hours straight.Is there any town that's rougly around the halfway point on any of these routes worth visiting?If i take that middle route I'll go through St. Louis around the halfway point but i've heard that town is a nightmare.
>>2895311Why would you take the routes that are 1 or 2 hours longer than the fastest one?
I would take the route through Nashville. Try not to arrive near rush hour. Get some BBQ. Hike Garden of the Gods. Detour through Bluehole Falls and Machine Falls. Go through Chattanooga. Do lookout mountain.
>>2896800>Go through Chattanooga. Do lookout mountain.That's not close to the routes he's considering
>>2896790It's about the journey, not the destination
Why not Branson?
I feel like the "Kingdom of Wonder" doesn't get talked about much here, why? Cheap visas, quieter than its neighbors, most lax country for TEFLfags, people seem friendly enough. I know there's sexpats and third-world bullshit of course, but that's almost everywhere in SEA. What's the catch?
>>2895710The gun tourism is lame, I shot the RPG and some other stuff, obviously that is cool for the split second you're doing it but overall it was just a big shakedown with the guys constantly upselling us on other stuff and making us give them gas money, other bullshit
>>2895727Yeah, the RPG and auto weapons is the big draw since I come from a country with no civilian firearms ownership. Just one of those things I want to do once and check it off my list. How do you deal with people upselling you on stuff anyway?
>>2895730You have to be thick skinned and firm, keep refusing, but you can only do so much as you're dealing with literal armed men who drove you out to the middle of nowhere. Expect to make concessions.
>>2895710Or you get your head blown off when some Soviet RPG from 1982 explodes in your hands
>>2872991>as an American I'm probabpy safe from thatNo actually as an American you won't get immediatly outed as a scammer when you call someone's demented grandma at 3:00 AM. The triads would absolutely kidnap you and if they thought your government was going to become a problem they would slit your throat, harvest your organs, and bury you in the jungle somewhere (if you are lucky).
Heading to Vegas with two friends, all mid-20s, and staying for 9 days. Looking for advice from people who know the city well. We want to have a great trip, meet people our age, party a few nights, and see some of the more interesting parts of Vegas without getting destroyed financially.Most of the information online feels like it’s coming from influencers, promoters, or people trying to sell something. I’m curious where people actually go when they want to have fun without spending hundreds of dollars every night on drinks, cover charges, rides, and other fees. Are club promoters worth dealing with or is it mostly marketing? Are there areas, bars, or neighborhoods that offer a better experience and value than the typical tourist spots?I’d also like to know the common mistakes first-time visitors make that end up costing them a lot more money than necessary. The goal is to avoid realizing halfway through the trip that we could have had a better experience for a fraction of the cost. Any advice on how to make the most of Vegas while keeping spending reasonable would be appreciated
>>2888353maybe 6 or 5 if you use it as a base for the surrounding desert
>>2888347>9 dayswhy in the everloving fuck would you go to vegas for 9 days?like >>2888353 said, literally a week too long. the only exception is if you're flying in from australia or something and it's a 20 hour trip. even then, do not stay in vegas casinos drinking and partying for over a week. go to the grand canyon, take a road trip to a california beach or a utah state park or something. you will fucking HATE vegas after 3 full days and i guarantee you will want to leave before 9 days
>>2888347How do you bone hookers in Vegas without getting hemmed up by the cuck police
>>2896239Go to one of the legal brothels nearby. They’re like an hour away
>>2888347>nine days in vegasjesus christ man do not spend that long in vegasthe longest trip you should ever do in vegas is 72 hours
I dont know if I can travel alone anymoreEverywhere I see there are happy families, or happy couples, or friends, while I am alone as fuckHow are you holding up
>>2896486A lot of people go through life needing their hand held at all times. They're terrified of doing basic things like eating at a restaurant by themselves or going to the cinema by themselves. If they don't have someone to hold their hand, they'd rather just lock themselves inside and do nothing until a handholder becomes available. It's pathetic that grown ass adults can be this insecure
>>2896420Truly next level autismJust fucking sit alone no one cares
>>2896485Hell no. Lonely people want connection, not a walking fleshlight
>>2896586Speak for yourself
I am a faggot so I often get confused between loneliness and wanting sex. Probably the same for you OP.

Spiritually jeeted thread
>>2894845Anywhere but Salt Lake City, this place is prudish as hell and the party scene sucks
>>2894865It was genuinely impossible to ignore it for a few years following COVID because people could sniff out your politics based on any random view/understanding you had about the world, and if you were on the wrong side, they tried to do you harm by any means they could without going to jail, no matter how petty.But it's chilled out since 2024 and feels more like the pre-2020 climate, where you can just choose not to talk about politics now.
