malindi isn't safe anymore, all the italian expat retirees propping it up died or went home

went to the new museum, it's absolutely massive. There's a bunch of nice boutique stores in the lobby era, jewelry stores, some French bakeries/ Starbucks etc. The gift shop they have is probably the only I've encountered in Egypt that is actually nice, it's comparable to the MET or Louvre ( expensive, but also not selling absolute shit that's peddled at the other ' official' gift stores ). The museum is so huge I gave up half way through, they seem to have a lot of winding open hallways, what architecturally looks very modern and nice, but man walking it catches up to you. Also the amount of exhibits is overwhelming- you get really bored after a while. there are sections where it's just case after case of beads and hair picks, really small stuff. Part of me wonders if it would've been better to have a smaller and more curated selection. Having been to the old museum, they at least for now are taking the security seriously, where previously they didn't give a fuck and let you touch whatever. beautiful place, but like others mention, I'm curious how long they can maintain such a huge place.

you have a shorter guide / route where you just check out the 20-40 highlight exhibits

going to london for 4 days w a friend. not staying there much. friend is a football freak so we are going to manchester on sat for a game and on sun back to london for another - so we are probably renting a car. i honestly want to see some picturesque countryside and maybe go one night out. i like nature mythology, celtic stuff, tolkien, good food & techno for nightlife. where should we go.

Jesus, should've chosen a more real experience in the lower leagues. Must've cost him a bomb.

In any event, try and get in on the pre-game drinking with fans. This will allow you a somewhat 'authentic experience', and people generally will be happy to see some freshfaced cunts popping along to support their side.
Also, only faggots get to their seat on time. You need to spend at least 5 minutes downstairs finishing off your pint, and then bonus points if you have seats in the middle of the row and make everyone stand.

I'd not bother with the car, desu. Just book trains asap. Parking in cities is a bit shit. Also, if you want to get to techno events, and get sloshed at the footy, you don't want to worry about driving. Parking on matchdays can be fucking brutal.
Trains in the UK are expensive, but are actually decent.

Bangkok is barely reaching 32 C currently. It's a great time to visit. If you're not fat, you can go around even in midday without sweating, by simply radiating heat into your environment from your skin. I recommend eating hot soup to force your body to engage full heat-dissipation mode, which as a pinched frigid Canuck you have never really done.

Discussing travel safety in less-than-pristine places is difficult because the technically correct answer for maximizing safety is always going to be

>just don't travel there

With that being said, we all have our own levels of what we consider acceptable risk tolerance for these sorts of things.

Where is your personal threshold at? What's the sketchiest place you've been, or would consider going to?

What kinds of dangers do you plan for, and what precautions do you take?

Poland felt safe to me. The drunks get loud and drop their bottles on the sidewalk, but otherwise they don't seem to harass anybody. I never saw non-whites loitering around in Poland, apart from the delivery drivers waiting for an order. Idle freeloader migrants are not tolerated there. One thing I did notice, every single bicycle parked in public had a proper bike lock on it, with a heavy chain or bar...so you still should take some precautions with your property.

Currently going back and forth between the two and hoping to make a decision next month.

Iceland - Pros
>Place I was planning on going to anyways
>Lots of reputable existing tour companies offering fairly reasonably priced excursions where they will drive to wherever the best weather is day of ($100-200 per person)
>Possibility to see auroras during the eclipse, odds are supposedly low but a literal once in a lifetime event if it does happen

Iceland - Cons
>Really really cloudy, odds of any location having clouds is 80%, but odds of all locations having clouds is 30-40%
>Tiny island so going to be super swamped with talk of road closures and skyrocketing prices

Spain - Pros
>Large country with many places to view so demand curve will be flatter which hopefully means lower risk of last minute cancellations and price gouging
>Great weather
>Can move around day of or in days leading up to it to account for weather thanks to comprehensive train network

There's also an eclipse in Spain in 2027. Does that change the calculus for anyone?

The eclipse crosses a tiny area in Iceland where there is limited access. I'd not go there. Also the duration of totality is shorter in Iceland.

Nothing beats Italy when it comes to architectural beauty and climate does it? It's like the place is sacred or something.
I mean there are places like Switzerland that look picturesque and wonderful, and places like Vienna where everything is so clean and the architecture is grand but it doesn't feel special like it feels with Italy.
The only thing that Italy suffers from I think it doesn't have as much natural beauty and variety like other places.

I wish Rome never fell.

Hey, /trv/.

Would anyone like to share their experiences here? I'm going in late November and am especially excited to explore VI national park on St. John. My question is, how should I handle transportation on the island? Is it best to rent a car? A scooter? Just taxi everywhere? Or use some other form of transportation, like public transit?

I hear the roads are a bit crazy, but I want to explore freely if possible. Also, I'll be alone probably as this is a solo trip.

I'm also happy to take any other tips about the USVI and/or the Dominican Republic, where I'll be staying in Punta Cana for a few days as well. (Am I going to get stabbed?)

Thanks!

Late November it'll all be fine. The government will reopen after the elections today. Dems only shut it down to motivate their base

Anyone ever drive from the north to Florida? Looking to do this route from Toronto to Miami next spring to go to an event.

The last two years I've flown and the flight goes for $3-400CAD and the car rental is about $3-400 CAD for the week. Is it retarded to consider driving down instead? I've driven upto 16 hours in one straight shot before.

Alright, so I'll be taking a trip next year from the US to Canada, and I want to bring my cigarettes with me. However the issue is that at the time I'll be 19, which is legal in Canada but not the US.

So what I'm asking is if it's possible and viable to just not tell customs about my cigarettes, put them in some hidden spot in one of my bags, and hope they don't find them?
I'll be traveling with family (not very close family) and really don't want to get in trouble with customs.
Thanks boys!
