>There are bars, they're just shit. There were many more casual bars with a better balance of locals/tourists when I was here before.
Yes there are bars, yes there are casual ones, I listed one in my post the tech/bank sector has some good ones. Kanpai 2.0 is exactly why I listed it.

Alcohol is expensive as shit dude, a bottle of smirnoff was ~78 USD last time I was there for a 1liter. Every time I go there, I go once a year for 2 weeks work shit, and run into someone exactly like you.
>Club Street used to be bustling and the vibe was fantastic.
Was the last time you were here before covid? lol get with the time gramps

Wages have stagnated hard unless you are scamming the markets, people don't give a FUCK about drinking before going out for 1-2 beers and going back home/family known place that will give them a deal.
>1) I honestly struggle to believe that the 1-2 million of young people who live in this city just don't go out at all,
"why don't these kids wanna drink at hooters! it's fine here in singapore!"
>2) surely at least the younger tourists must also be going out somewhere.
the tourists going to singapore are often businessmen taking their family along with them, holy fuck how old are you? The ones that do go out go for specific events and drinking occasions.

My guy, the serious drinker crowd of singapore will just take a bus or drive to Johor for the night where their money goes 5x as far and spending a night drinking+hotel is equal to that of one bar tab in singapore.

I never will understand why people go to singapore for the vibe shit they think they can get elsewhere. Singapore has to import everything, it's also somewhat non alcoholic by the religions that occupy a fair bit of it and the price of it. Most everyone I know who do drink, drink at home, then maybe go out for 1-2 maybe 3 beers at a place drinking actual tiger bullshit.

I like singapore a lot because you can see the country in a week, but man it's not a place to party or nightlife in without a specific reason.

>>2876400
singapore is a place you go to make money or raise a family. even if booze was cheap it's just not in the mindset to party. and even if it was you don't want to party with most young singaporean unless you are friends with them already, rich or poor

>>2876403
I'd argue the events that are held there make it nice, but going in respect to how most go to countries on this board go to other countries; it's way off the mark. Most young singapore people I know would rather just stay home and play video games, the ones I know that do drink go to Johor to stock up for cheap.

>>2876382

OP here, Kanpai 2.0 (and the area around it) was probably the liveliest bar I saw, so thanks for the rec.
I met some people who live in SG and asked around, the ones who like to drink will usually pregame and go clubbing. Apparently the clubs are not too terrible but I much prefer a bar atmosphere so wasn't ecstatic about that.

It's just sad. I'm not looking for a "party vibe" and I am not comparing it with SEA sexpat destinations, I just want to experience normal nightlife in a city where I spend some time.

Yes I was previously in SG pre-covid and I remember it being reasonably normal in the sense that you could at least go to one of the downtown bars after work and chat with people, now it seems like 90% of them are closed, and the areas that used to be bustling before are now dead. There were also cheaper "student" bars like Stickies but that's also gone. There also used to be a nice selection of pleasant rooftop bars less pretentious and overpriced than Ce La Vi but they are also gone. I searched up on Google and went to several top bars in SG and it was mostly old rich whites again or Chinese girls going in to take Instagram photos and then fucking off after 10 minutes.

I know that nightlife is going to shit essentially everywhere in the world, but man, it's a bit extreme here. I used to think that Singapore would be a nice city to actually live in, but honestly it was already kinda depressing before and now it just feels like a literal dead city. Couple that with SG not really having a cultural scene either and I just wonder how people are happy to live here.

Uzbekistan outside the museum cities is not “neat and orderly”
Uzbek cuties in Andijon and Kokand will smile at you and look away (not much else because of religion and the language barrier) locals will spend a five hour shared taxi ride talking to each other about you and having the guy in the car who speaks the most English ask you questions
I’m halfway through a Central Asia trip now, and so wish that I learned conversational Russian

I agree the standard Khiva -> Bukhara -> Samarqand route is actually extremely repetitive, but there is some welcome variety with the Aral Sea and Tashkent has a very different feel compared to the rest of the country. I'd assume Fergana has that too, though I haven't been.
I had fun and I liked Uzbekistan and I'm definitely glad I went but I don't really feel the desire to come back, unlike, say, Kyrgyzstan, which I'd be more than glad to go hiking in any time.

>>2875664
>In Kyrgyzstan a 10 minute walk could be foregone with Yandex ride costing ~$0.50.

Them being restorations doesn't bother me at all. You go to the places where history happened and you see ruins, and that's nice. But to see things restored makes you feel like you are present for that time, seeing beautiful things that are dispapearing in a modernized world. And that is a different experience and nice.

I'm going to Tashkent soon, with tours nearby, so this thread is useful to me. Speaking of cheap transport has any used private drivers for long rides beyween cities or crossing borders? Maybe they take you to the border and you walk and catch another ride. I like traveling in a private and relaxing manner, if anyone jas any experience let me know. I've basically only seen travel channels doing this.

I guess it is understandable that the facades are reconstructed/repaired, otherwise it would just be the bricks which could then be vulnerable to further damage
there is a similar phenomenon in Kashgar to what you described, the old city has basically been hollowed out and replaced with a tourist play-park
but other smaller cities I went to (in Xinjiang, not Uzbekistan) had better-preserved old centres with people actually living in them. maybe it would be better in smaller Uzbek cities?

I agree with those who said you can't just go to cities, it does get a bit boring, having some nature is good but transport can be difficult in central Asia.

I would like to go Kashgar - Kyrgyzstan - Uzbekistan or Taxian - Tajikistan - Uzbekistan but it would probably need me to buy a car to have any degree of freedom

Test

There is NO other reason to desire constant exposure to indian men, unless you are gay for them.
He probably got raped by an indian as a kid and is fucked up from it, so his whole life revolves around servicing his gay rapist (random pot bellied indian with smell).

Adventure tourism is one thing. Scurrying around slums and shitholes with zero redeeming qualities is another. Its ALWAYS a sex thing in the second case.

There's several reasons foreigners stay in shitty parts of Third World cities.
1) It's their first time in the country, and they barely made it 5 km from the airport before they felt an overwhelming urge to stop and familiarize themselves with their alien surroundings.
2) They are on a long journey and breaking it up with a night or two near the bus or train station, which is convenient but bound to be shitty.
3) There are many tourist hotspots or beautiful places in the vicinity of a shithole with cheap and easy food, lodging and transport.
4) They love the heckin hustle and bustle of the streets and can't stand the sleepy rural villages.
5) They start bedrotting in the first cheap hotel they find and give up on further travel because it's too much effort.
>>2877836
You're clueless. India does have a gender imbalance, but most of those surplus males gravitate to industrial slums to slave away at various jobs. Rural India is full of women. In fact, there are often more women than men selling items at the bazaar, riding the bus, staffing the shops, etc.

I worked on cruise ships in University in the youth centers. It was dope. Paid in cash out of the casino every month, cheap booze, crew discos with all the retarded staff in the crew disco covering each other in body paint while "Guilermo" from the pursing staff spun Ministry of Sound CDs until 3 am then waking up and organizing ping pong tournaments for the kiddos while making a beeline to the buffet as soon as my shift was done to stuff myself. Docking in some random port and joining a tour for free to head out into whatever town or city in Europe or buttfuck nowhere Alaska or over to gay hotel pool to laugh at the dancers putting the moves on old man cock while I ordered margaritas. Head back and bang some desperate Filipino girl, or gap year Hungarian girl, then head down to the crew bar to drink paint thinner with the Russian casino dealers and smoke endless cigarettes until sun rise. It was the life.

Skill issue

>>2874645
my dad randomly decided to take me with my siblings to one that went to a couple of spots in mexico.
-just before 21 so I couldn't go in the truly adult areas
-the food was classic unhealthy slop that was all you can eat
-the gym was fully stocked and had a front view of the ocean
-weather was pretty good so we had great sunrises and sunsets if you like to just look out into the ocean
-they didn't card me when I tried to drink during dinner which was a bit more special having steaks and salmon
-everything was still heavily white people and we went on a CARNIVAL cruise to the point where the main all ages "bar" had people singing country roads and sweet home alabama and not getting all hyped and jumping up and down while crashing into each other
-there were very few black people who were basically white people by how they acted
-the mexico spot was pretty cool we went on quads through the beach, went paragliding, and ate some food before heading back
-I needed to leave early so I only was there for like 4 of the 7 days
It was still super cheap since it was a 4 person bundle but I'd imagine that that would be impossible to enjoy now given the rise of certain demographics showing up

I went, it wasn't busy, full of white people, good food and beautiful bahamas, comfortable clean room, but I still fucking hated it. It's just mass tourism and pollution in one, it allows lazy dumb people to spread like a plague everywhere. Still Bahamas are very beautiful and they do a good job of limiting people per island so it's peaceful. 10 at most,meaning the backside of it was completely empty. So the best part of a cruise was getting the fuck off of it.

>>2877764
It's not about being legal. It's a grey market. I guess technically they want you to have a license or something, but nobody does and the sellers just pay bribes to officials. Thais invested huge amounts of capital into it just so the government could try and flip flop a couple years later. They can't really put it back in the bottle now. Like I said, buying isn't the issue. Smoking it is. Forget about smoking outside unless you are looking for trouble. I'm sure you can find edibles easily as well, but I prefer vapes.

>>2877753
Barely anything changed

I should be able to bring cannabis in checked baggage AND aboard a plane in my carry on without risking seizure or arrest so long as I don't smoke it on the plane or in the airport.

>>2877783

>>2877768
Too many Thai boys ruined their studies and future prospects with cannabis addiction. They'd go to the dispensary every day and spend all their pocket money on ripping the bong. That's why public opinion has swung so sharply to disapprove of cannabis.
>smoking it is the issue
It's difficult to find secluded public spaces in any town or village in Thailand, where you can smoke without being visible to passersby. There are property walls and gates along every road, and disused properties are usually too overgrown with brush to enter. Personally I liked staying in cabins in the provinces and smoking on my front porch.

Dude Singapore is a bachelors paradise, sex for pay is legal unlike other SEA nations

Singapore fag here, go yearly for work.

>dating
If you can convey you are there for work for a big company with the ability to return to the USA it's a huge bonus. Lot's of competent singapore women want to leave since the country could lose a lot of money if the train shit china is building to circumvent Singapore works, don't think the canal will ever come about.
>gambling
Online only I am sure places exist but I don't gamble
>travel
Singapore's airport is probably the best in the world for quick flights all over it's a major hub with some of the quickest security outside maybe Svalbard.
>fun
Spend money on events and shows, the hardest part about singapore is finding things to do that isn't widdling your money and sanity down for a country the size of Rhode Island. Golf and Tennis are big, the biggest fun now is just gaming/e-sports. There are non stop monthly events but they are the same every year. Johor is kinda fun for other events.

The defining factor here is how much are you going to make, everything in Singapore is imported so shit like alcohol can be highly expensive same with virtually anything else not from Malaysia. If you're making anything less than 115k, just reject the offer straight up.

Like others have said, there's not enough info here to give solid advice but as a traveling worker you need to set your priorities.
Traveling for work immerses you in a specific (most of the time salt of the earth) area and you don't get to really see the big cities or cultural landmarks, but you do get a wonderful window into the day to day life and practiced culture of the people.
You likely won't be able to know the areas you visit like other tourists will. Relating to the travel hoes is not going to work.
If you have, or ever want, a family; the 2 on 1 off schedule will demolish any hope of that ending well without a very good support network. This kind of work uproots you. You will become a nomad, physically, culturally, and mentally as long as you do this.
Don't make this choice lightly.

Mining job.
That's a drastic difference and it sounds like it'll keep you busy on top of constant novel experiences. When life gets monotonous, that's when it starts speeding by and getting depressing.

>>2875445
I work some shitty retail job right now, but since it's only part time, I get five days off in a row per month, which I use to travel. Let me tell you, having time off every month, all year round, that you can freely use without using up your vacation days, is pretty fucking sweet. A fully remote job gives you the option to become a digital nomad, but working full time while on the road all year can be stressful and you'll have to decide if that's your ideal lifestyle. I'm also curious what "mining job" actually entails. If it's physically demanding and requires you to go down into the mines and breathe ore dust all day long, then you should also consider your long term health. It might pay better and allow you to travel more, but if it shaves ten years off your life by the end of it, it's not worth it obviously.

I see both choices as having obvious pros and cons (assuming the mining job isn't one that kills you slowly), so no matter what you choose you'll travel more than 90% of people and during bad days you'll curse yourself for not picking the other job. The grass is always greener on the other side and all that.

>>2877757
>assuming the mining job isn't the one that kills you slowly
this anon is right, ive been to the mines up in bolivia and thats alot more different of an atmosphere, pushing minecarts miles out of a mountain breathing all the dust known to man. it does pay way more than most jobs in south america.

>>2877010
>Mostly just small tows without a whole lot to see and do other than typical small town shit like seeing the local battlefield or historic house.
unless you like nature and hiking...
>Chattanooga does not have a whole lot outside of hiking and fishing.
actually in my exp the food is pretty good and there's some interesting places to try but its kinda snooty/expensive/hipster at least as far as the south goes, but its definitely a cultural oasis, and honestly not THAT far from Atlanta so maybe there's some influx/influence from there.

>The further west you go, the more shit and dilapidated everything becomes
actually it gets nicer as you head west from chatt/knox cuz there's lots of nice hills and hiking but eventually it starts to flatten out and get boring but most people stay in the smokies containment zone and don't explore the hiking that's west of knox and chatt.

West Tennessee has a few forests, but it's mostly farmland. Central TN has more wooded areas for sure. East TN you start to get more mountainous Appalachian vibes with black bears and such. Some people get real spooked out about Appalachia. There are random sighting of cougars throughout the state, and coyotes and Red Wolves in West TN. Something to be aware of as well.
In terms of price, the closer you get to Nashville, the higher it will be. I would probably look at the region around Camden TN.

I'm still miffed I missed out on the opportunity to ride an A340-600. Didn't even have to go out of the way for it, it was the best itinerary available, but I was traveling with someone disabled and they didn't feel comfortable with the downstairs bathrooms. Desperately hoping Lufthansa delays their retirement again and I can grab one for my trip to Spain in August.
