not gonna happen in one day
if you were a runner you could run/walk it, but then you would've be asking
no way your fat ass will walk for 13 hours without stopping

A backpack with hip support is very, very advised.

Check the weather for rain. I recommend ponchos of the plastic emergency-kind, not rain jackets; they just about always get soaked. If it's gonna be dry, don't bother adding extra weight though.
Three, four pairs of socks. Bandaids. If you have Compeeds, apply them on spots that you know are sus. They are not effective then the blister is already blistering.
Water: bring at least one litre. You're hiking past towns? Pick up fresh stock. Maybe include drinks with electrolytes or electrolyte tablets.
Energy: I'd advice good breakfast and/or lunch with plenty of proteine. Eggs, sausages, bacon. Energy bars with high caloric content. Maybe wear underwear that's not going to chafe your inner legs to shit (I'm prone to that).
Clothes: comfortable synthetics or the meringo wool meme. You're gonna sweat the shit into cotton and it's gonna feel heavier to wear. Plus, synthetics dry faster. Pack extra if you have them. Not a bad thing to change into a fresher outfit along the way.
Keep pauses to a minimum time, but do have them. Air your feet every three to four hours and change socks after a while.
Start early, like 7, 6 or even 5 AM.
t, moderate amateur hiker, but also did a 50km hike in a forest trail with hills. My tips include some learned lessons that I would do on a next take.

^Also, expect to add 4 or 5 hours extra to the trip. Those estimates don't take into account pauses and other reasons like variety in pacing.

I don't recommend doing it in one day unless you're a really hardened hiker and pack light. 30km on road or good track is doable with even a heavy-ish pack. I've gone wayfaring on occasion, and after 30km things get really uncomfortable, after 40km you'll probably be completely worn out.

Czech here. Just act normal and everything will be fine. And avoid Gypsies and other dark-skinned peoples.

>>2727968
Thanks, yeah of course, it's human nature to avoid melanin like a spider sense. Is there at least some expat communitues in Prague to ease into my move? Also, do Czechs hate Croats? I'd assume they hate us less than some poo skin moving in.

>>2727972
>Is there at least some expat communitues in Prague to ease into my move?
I dunno, probably.

>Also, do Czechs hate Croats?
No, why? Croatia is one of the most popular holiday destinations for us. I mean, I went once with my family and even though I hate beaches and sea, your country itself was pretty nice.

>>2727986
Ok that's good to know, wanted to make friends over there and was wondering if locals would automatically hate me.

For some reason, yakisoba served at festival stalls are very tasty.

I've been here 6 months and the best I found is McDonald's and burger King

I live in Japan.
There are a lots of tasty local foods in Japan, but they are not popular for Japanese when they are eating out.(Local foods are eaten at home.)
Maybe you can find local foods at ''KORYORIYA
'' (small restaurant), but Its number of stores decreasing.

>>2727753
Butter is much more dangerous in such a comparison.

Gonna lurk this thread. Going to Japan near the end of November for 3-5 weeks. Hoping that late in the year will have less crowds

>>2725537
Looking hotel bookings... yeah, no.

Was planning on going mid-late march for 2 weeks, is this a bad time? I wanted to avoid the cherry blossom tourism bloom but not be too cold like jan/feb. I hear the plum blossoms are alright as well.

Is it a decent off-season?

>>2726547
The closer you get to major holidays the more expensive I'm thinking. Went in October

Mid-late March is exactly the time for cherry blossoms you silly sausage

>It seems like a total waste of time learning foreign languages when you only stay in a country for 3 months. I tried talking in Spanish when in Spain and the people understood nothing and vice versa.
This is true. Foreign language education is largely a jobs program for otherwise-unemployable teachers. There's no use learning some hideous obsolete burrito-speak when you can obviously get by without it.

Violent crime against randos? No there's not. But anon said

Which is objectively true

https://www.reddit.com/r/Portland/comments/17cdcd2/target_says_3_portland_stores_closing_due_to/

>Target says 3 Portland stores closing due to crime; Police records don’t match up

Yep all the businesses are closing due to crime, but when you report any crimes from rape to robbery the police don't show up because they are under orders from the mayor to pretend there is no crime....it's a death spiral

>>2726891
Target frequently will blame external circumstances (mainly crime) to cover up bad expansion/management decisions. I wouldn't put that much stock in what they say.

Avoid drinking unbottled water
Practice basic hygiene habits like washing/sanitizing your hands regularly
Avoid street food like you said

If you do get the shits; drink plenty of liquids to help flush it out. Take meds to either stop the shits or treat the bacterial infection. Take a pro-biotic to boot.

Yep, I had two bouts of severe gut illness in Mazatlan and Chihuahua. The latter was from a burrito made from the leftover scrapings from the grill, the vendor had put it aside for a homeless person but I was hungry and demanded it, so he sold it to me for 15 pesos. Never quite figured out what made me sick in Mazatlan...it could've been merely brushing my teeth with the tap water and swallowing some, or it could've even been something I'd eaten earlier in Durango.

I've heard many stories of tourists getting sick from hotel buffets. Personally I'd rather go to a market and pick out my own fruits and veggies.
Judge street food by the vendor's food handling practices. Watch him work for a bit before deciding whether to order.

>>2727433
Bacterial infection is not so much explosive shits as a constant leaking of watery stool from your inflamed colon. Very annoying, will confine you to your room almost 24 hours a day.

>>2727433
There is a special anti-biotic called Rifaximin that works in some circumstances

Charcoal tablets/capsules. Beware tap water and donkey meat tacos. Kekekekek

>How to speak Spanish would be a good start.
I learned that recently. I had a buddy that visited mexico and he told me got around fine with minimal spanish, so I crossed in for some taco with no spanish skills and immediate realized how difficult it was to interact with people with no spanish skills.
currently learning spanish and looking for someone to practice with

even mexicans are not brave enough to do that. so i suppose you need to research every route for safety information.

You need pesos, not dollars.
>>2727802
In 2017 I picked up Spanish along the way, then took a week of conversational classes in Morelia, where I finally realized the word for "near" is "cercano", not "proximo". Yep, those language exchanges are a great way to meet young Mexicans, including single girls who speak English.
>>2727787
Your dollars are buying almost 20% more pesos than they did five months ago. It's a good time to visit Mexico. Winter weather is dry, sunny and very comfy for bike touring. Expect cold mornings. Don't leave your bike parked on the street overnight, unless you are in a small village.

This is all part and parcel of walking around in the poorer parts of Southeast Asia. Cluttered sidewalks used as parking lots and pop-up restaurants, having to step aside when larger vehicles go down narrow roads, darting across traffic if there are no breaks, always walking behind a car crossing your path, keeping to the side of the sidewalk to let bicycles and motorbikes go by if it is wide and clear.

It depends on how old you are. If you're under 25, you might do ok since it's a college town. Either way, actually integrating socially will be tough if you're an outsider.

>>2727897
The benefit of Moab is that even if the town is way, way smaller, there's lots of people with interests relevant to yours, and they all tend to work in the same band of employment opportunities. It also has forested mountains close by.

It's also a transient place where people live a few years and then leave. But you have a higher chance of meeting people, I think.

Yep, Junction got that straight shooter mentality. Pretty high suicide rate, needy little pussies tend to cull themselves from the herd. With the accelerating social decay on the Democrat-ridden Front Range, it's definitely becoming a more desirable place by comparison. If you're one of those hipster faggots who cry about "muh art" and "muh culture", then you'll hate being so far away from a big city.
