Spending a week a friend's house in Venetto Italy. Went to Venice, Bologna, Rovigo, Verona, Revana, Forli.Pros:- Not insanely hot- Amazing Food- Beer is not as bad as I thought it woul be.- Everyone looks good, the wops are actually white.- Surprisingly affordable if you aren't dumb.- People are ridiculously friendly, not used to this since I grew up with southerners and they're absolute scum.- Verona is the most beautiful city I've ever seen.- Trains are decent.Cons:- Niggers- Jeets- AbdulsComment too long.

Spent 3 weeks in Italy recently, I went to Milan, Bologna, Florence, Rome, and Naples.Not really a whole lot to see in Milan, the Duomo was incredible though and the Navigli was pretty cool. Thanks to an anon from a previous thread who gave recommendations for restaurants serving Milanese cuisine, I went to Osteria dei Malnat and had excellent osso bucco.The food in Bologna was my favorite out of everywhere I went. Not too much to see here but it was a good time hanging out with locals at the bars. Hardly touristy at all which was nice.Florence was absolutely packed full of tourists, massive chink hordes and other annoying oblivious dumb fucks. I'm not really big on Renaissance art but I figured I had to see it once, and that was plenty for me. The food was really good (at least outside the super touristy areas, I didn't bother trying to eat there), I didn't know really anything about the local cuisine besides bistecca alla fiorentina so I was very pleasantly surprised.It kinda sucks to say I was a bit disappointed by Rome but that's how I felt. The history is of course fascinating and made the visit well worth it, but it was also packed with tourists pretty much everywhere I went. Not as bad as Florence, but in both cities you can also tell that at least some locals are just tired of tourists, and I can't blame them.Naples was my favorite, not touristy, felt like a real city. There's trash everywhere and the drivers are crazy, it's a bit chaotic in a way that makes it feel lively. The people were cool, I love seafood and pizza so the food was great, and I think Pompeii and the archeological museum were the most interesting things I saw on my trip. The view of the city from castel sant elmo was great. I saw people say online that Naples is sketchy/dangerous, but I never felt that way, maybe I just wasn't ever in the bad areas. There were some homeless and a ton of blacks by the central train station but even that wasn't too bad.
I'll be going on an my Italian roadtrip soon and just need some pointers on driving.I won't be driving inside any big cities tho, least I don't plan to. Plan on dropping the car at the hotel then walking with my family.Mostly be around North Italy and a bit of Tuscany... Lucca, Bologna, Verona, Como.>>2823407What's wrong with Tuscany? I'm planning on visiting Lucca but the family also wants to see Florence
>>2796749Hopefully the PM kicks out all the jeets ew can't whites have one damn thing to themselves anymore
>>2796749https://youtu.be/kSqY1MaNoCc?si=JEWx6Goq-ybhpbxGAmericans are going to Europe and beating thieves to a pulp.
>>2832977>What's wrong with Tuscany?Massive tourist trap, even some of the smaller towns.You want to see the monuments, museums, and historical sites then yeah you have to bite the bullet.But if you want to see italian life then go elsewhere like Molise or Marche, preferably a small town that happens to have a hotel or camping spot or a B&B. Less pricy and a lot less globalized tourist bs.
Toon Lagoon Edition>Last Thread: >>2826026 >What is this thread? Why are there two companies?Disney parks were initially founded as a way to celebrate the culture and history of America and provide middle class families with a fun-filled immersive experience. While theme parks are the main focus of these threads (and the title of the general) there is also discussion on other roller coasters & rides, as well as the parks themselves and trip planning too. That's where /rcg/ comes in.>Can I talk about Disney/Universal parks in this thread?Absolutely! Disney and Universal are currently competing for the Orlando theme park market and beyond! Universal is opening new resorts all around the US and new continents!Park Crowd Tracker:>https://queue-times.com/en-US/parksRoller Coaster Database:>https://rcdb.com/Comment too long.

>>2834244If they don't show up at the right time, they lose their slot and can choose to swap out one of their other slots for that ride or gamble on a future availability opening up. This system would obviously have to be live and reactive, constantly monitoring who has ridden, who hasnt, delays, and weather and shit. So if you missed your slot on a ride you really wanted to do, it would notify you later on if a timeslot became available cause someone else missed their later timeslot. Maybe people wouldn't enjoy being shepherded around with AI, but I think with a park designed from the ground up with a system like this in mind to optimize the shit out of your day it could really work for a lot of the braindead theme park goers. Removes all the thinking. Just go where it tells you and when. The obvious benefit to being told where to go is that you would rarely be in line which, again, is the number one guest complaint.
>>2834246I would add to this before someone calls me a retarded faggot that I dont believe this sytem is possible and this is merely a thought experiment. There's way too many variables and human nature getting in the way. It would just be nice to use current tech to do something about the queue question.
>>2834245No it doesn’t. The only rides at Disney that get starved are the ones like Nemo that no one wants to ride anyway so are irrelevant to this discussion. >>2834246>>2834249Is this not just the fast pass system before they made it paid and gay?
>>2834231The bean counters were going to use the space for Play remember, so they were investing in it anyway. It would be open without COVID.If it is about cost why not just keep it a skeleton for storage as it is now and redo the roof once every 5 years, which would be cheaper then demoing and finding new storage?If it is going it is because they have plans for it, as the obvious next place to do something with at EPCOT. If they want a dark ride the current building will not really work for that and demoing for a fresh build would be a better financial move
>>2834270>Is this not just the fast pass system before they made it paid and gay?I have no idea how fast passes used to work at Disney because I don't go to Disney very often, but I'm assuming the fast passes didn't navigate you around the park to check rides off your personal curated list. I remember one time my family scanned a bracelet at Jungle Cruise and we were told to return in 3 hours to ride it, if that's what you mean?
What advice can you give to someone who'll visit America for the first time. Particularly the midwest. How do i interact with the people? What are social norms that I need to be aware of? etc.
>>2832750You guys are just making shit up, no really places like ohio have nothing going on and is filled witb the most generic dude possible Is that controversial? It seems like it would be a no brainer.Like half of this thread is random seethe that everyone in Minnesota is actually a secret devil like lol don’t give us to much credit.The reason you think we seem two face is because we just follow generic social norms ofBe nice to other people in public
>>2832764Like i wish i had a crazy accent, that would be fun. I pull up some youtube video of crazy things on Michiganers do And its like “When you want to leave but don’t seem rude you make an excuse to leave”Uh i think everyone does that? Is that a midwestern tradition because no? LolReally scraping the barrel to stand out
Why did this thread get botted so hard
>>2832746>No accent>no traditions ?????????
>>2832746Midwestern are not the generic of anything. The average American is not a socially inept and humorless malcontent. >>2832764>>2832765You're proving the point that you're all a bunch of dumb cattle with little self-awareness.

people who don't like hostels are either too old to feel like they fit in there, or are young enough but are too socially awkwardall you need to do to fit in in a hostel is go to the bar and get a drinkthere will be other people there and you can talk to them, most of the time you'll end up playing a drinking game or going out to other bars together, and sometimes you'll sleep with someoneit's not a puzzle
>>2832634Most hostels I've stayed at have been lifeless boring places where people don't talk to their fellow guests 99% of the time. >a bunch of poorfagsHostel guests being too poor to afford beer used to be unthinkable. Now nobody wants to drink because it's unhealthy, bro. So everyone lives their own private lives and nobody talks to each other.

>>2831969>memorable things that happened to you while travelingOn Marseille a junkie started shutting the middle of a square not far from the McDonald's thereI wanted to film it but my (luckily ex) gf now cucked me by putting the hand in front of my camera and saying that those are poor people. fucking nive piece of shit (she wanted to travel alone to London shortly before I dumped her hopefully she'll get raped by niggers)Either way same day a homeless/junkie was washing himself in one of those small fountains in the middle of the walking street next to all the restaurants Now whenever I travel I make sure to film all the subhumans without distractions (which is way more fun than having an annoying cunt follow you everywhere which you have to pay for everything just because you want to have 20 minutes of sex that day)
Which city / country did you dislike the most and why? For me it was Osaka. Super dirty for a Japanese city, terrible public transport or terrible to find your way around, not much to do, the most homeless and dirt I have ever seen in all of Japan. Super disappointing. That a lot of signs are all in Japanese (also for transport shit) does not help especially when there is an Expo going on for many international tourists.
>>2829137OP I owe you an apology. I was the one posting all those memes about you being a dumb American. I came to Osaka this week for the first time, and you were completely right. It is filthy and unwelcoming.
>>2832086Yeah, fr. I made that picture but I was wrong. Fuck this city and everyone in it. I hate this place now. OP was right all along
>>2829137 This entire town stinks of actual human shit. The people are unwelcoming and rude as hell compared to everywhere else in Japan. The public transport is terrible. Every restaurant is selling the same mid food and you even have 2-3 of the same store per block. All the tourist attractions are just a low quality gimmick. The expo was a joke because every pavilion had their reservations botted within a second of unlocking. The only redeeming thing in this whole God forsaken shit pile of a city is that one Book Off with a curtained off porn section.
>>2831670have you actually been to those places? they're more fun to visit than japan
>OP doesn't like Japan>entire board has a melty
Is New Orleans around Christmas / New Years fun?
What is the Orlando experience like (not just the parks, although that is definitely as aspect to it)? Is it a place where the fun never ends? What is it like actually living in the Orlando metro?
>>2832562NTA but lived in Central FL all my life. Orlando is super expensive and has all the problems associated with big cities in the US. The theme parks are cool but very VERY expensive. It's like 70% hispanic as well. Horrible drivers too, I-4 is called "die-4" for a reason
>>2832559There is not much to do honestly , it's a large suburbia is what it is. There is disney springs which is fun I guess, you don't have to spend much money there, best place i would say. If you have homes next to Universal studios parks, there are resorts like Loews Portofino or Lowes Sapphire falls, where one can park in the back and enjoy free walks around resorts for free with free ferries running on water canals to universal board walk.
>>2832608This guy gets it.>>2832559Whorlando sucks dick, ass and balls. It is expensive, and not that pleasant outside of the theme parks.You would have much more fun/interesting along the East Coast of Central and South Florida between Jax and WPB). St. Augustine alone is more interesting, more pleasant and has more to do than Orlando, in my opinion.>>2832622Disney has this too, I think, but do not quote me on this. Either way, I would not frequent those areas out of choice.
>>2832559Been there in early September for couple days during Mare Fair. First time in Amareica and it was very fun.
>>2832559Faggots and rich white idiotic arrogant liberals and Puerto Ricans and illegals and ghetto culture and homeless. So fun.
Oman is one of the most underrated countries to visit.>Very safe>Not Westernized/commercialized like UAE or Qatar>Beautiful mountains and beaches>Great food>FriendlyI only went once in 2015 but I’m dying to go back.
Can I be openly gay there and kiss my husband in public?
>>2832479It is illegal to engage in faggotry there but apparently: 'In Oman, it is said that cases only get to court if "public scandal" is involved.'This likely has something to do with the fact that their previous Sultan may have been homosexual, I would guess. Anyway, you should try it and let us know what happens.
>>2832479>kiss my husband in public?That's something that isn't even tolerated in most of europe outside of the fag capitals.
Has anyone actually visited the Forbidden City or the National Museum in Beijing or is it only reserved for scalptroons and tourfags nowadays?
>>2832201>which admittedly shat itself and some chink had to flip the switch manually which took two daysYeah, I have no interest in dealing with this. They can fix the payment system or I will go elsewhere. I'm a simple traveler. I can jump through some hoops for a trip, but for china, the hoops simply aren't worth it at this time.
>>2832207I think we are on the same page. I've been before, so I don't care so much if I ever go back. I just don't want to deal with this bank and payment shit. I don't fucking know how my bank will react if I go to China, and honestly, I don't think they would know either until I get there and try the card. If there is a 1% chance none of my cards (visa/mastercard) will work reliably in China, I'm not going. Simple as
>>2832209Totally reasonable. I think if I recommended anyone go there, I would tell them to call their bank to explain that they're going to be in China between X and Y dates to be safe. Funnily enough despite how generally hard to navigate the country is for foreigners, I noticed a lot of mid-20s normie backpacker couples and in Shanghai there was the usual massive contingent of improbably tall normie European chads dominating the nightlife.
>>2832101i went to those places when i worked in china years agodo you really have to get tickets for tiananmen square now? how does that even work? it's a massive fucking square in the middle of the city. also i didn't pre book for the imperial palace (forbidden city), i just bought a ticket on the spot. of course i had to fight my way through the legions of touts and "tour guides" and so on first. but i had good practice beforehand from pushing aside the masses of pirate dvd sellers who lined up outside my hotel, and dodging the child beggars who zigzagged in front of me as i walked down the street, and the fake rolex sellers who pestered me as i just sat doing nothing in particular, and the girls who wanted me to go to their cousin's tea shop, etc etcfucking china. it's second on the list headed "places i'll probably never go again and i'm really not that bothered about it", after saudi fucking arabia
>>2832492>also i didn't pre book for the imperial palace (forbidden city), i just bought a ticket on the spot. of course i had to fight my way through the legions of touts and "tour guides" and so on first. but i had good practice beforehand from pushing aside the masses of pirate dvd sellers who lined up outside my hotel, and dodging the child beggars who zigzagged in front of me as i walked down the street, and the fake rolex sellers who pestered me as i just sat doing nothing in particular, and the girls who wanted me to go to their cousin's tea shop, etc etcThe more thirdie coded stuff like the beggars, pirate DVD sellers, tea shop scammers, touts etc have mostly been removed these days (although you still get the fake rolex guys everywhere in Shanghai particularly), but in its place Beijing has become much more... I guess you'd call it boring and mechanical. You have to get tickets to everywhere with weixin miniapps in Mandarin, there are unbelievable domestic tourism hordes everywhere remotely touristy in Beijing, more and more of the nice looking areas are filled with Chinese marketing streamers (if you haven't seen them before you'll know what I mean when you see one).China probably won't improve in experience until they open up a bit more to foreign tourists (obviously not too far like Japan did) and the old people start dying off so they aren't hell bent on paving over everything and designing all sightseeing experiences around 60 year old Chinese peasants who demand to be ferried everywhere and have a stand where they can buy street food every 20 metres.

>>2832625ew, gross
This was like 13 years ago, I was flying back to the US from Germany, we were over what must have been Northeast Canada and I looked down and saw what looked like several dozen if not nearly 100 small to mid sized lakes, and some of the bigger lakes had big rocks jagging out of their middles ranging in color from reddish brown to dark khaki. Looked beautiful and otherworldly. Never been able to find any information about this place which makes me wonder if I didn't just imagine the whole thing.
But /trv/ told me only old fat boomers go to Thailand...>The Thai capital secured the top spot ahead of Melbourne, Cape Town, and New York City. Survey results indicated that 84 percent of Gen Z respondents in Bangkok reported being happy with their daily lives, while 71 percent said the city is affordable compared to other major metropolises.>Bangkok was also voted as the easiest city in the world to make new friends, giving it a strong social edge that appealed to younger generations. This sense of connection, paired with affordability and livability, helped promote the city to the top of the global ranking.Huh.
>>2829469You're wrong about the rent. You can find clean, well-furnished upper floor rooms for surprisingly low nightly rates in the boring parts of Bangkok. I'm talking $10-13 USD per night, booked online.The touristy parts of the city are as full of assorted mutts as anywhere in the world. The local parts of the city are not always friendly or well-kept. Rush hour traffic can be horrible, with virtually zero room left for pedestrians on narrow thru streets.There's some neat, well-kept neighborhoods off Lat Phrao Road, but they are boring. Nothing to doooo, says the typical ADD loser normie.
