He's probably a SYM (sensitive young man) who has been treated like shit by women he got the courage up to cold approach in a bar or something.
Women can be brutal. Despite the constant incel fear-mongering, young women by far are more radicalized in terms of gender and racial politics these days.
That said, it's (in part) because society/men have made them compete with Pornhub for attention and they think they have to be whores now to find a guy.
Males aren't complaining about increased supply of unpaid whores, but should probably consider the emotional damage this wreaking on young women.

I just don't understand why go to Georgia if you have visa-free access to Mediterranean Europe. For Russian or Turkish tourists, Georgia is indeed a good visa-free alternative. As for English, I think most of them genuinely can't speak it, while they can refuse to speak Russian on purpose.

Genuinely the most brain dead fucking retarded thing anyone can say when discussing travel.
Gee I don't know, maybe some people enjoying experiencing new countries, cultures, history, experiences, etc. Maybe they have an interest in a specific place.
Why travel anywhere when you can just go to your home towns local pub and have the same experience?

>>2902383

1. It's much cheaper
2. the scenery and culture are completely different to Mediterranean Europe
3. Much less packed with tourists/migrants

lol I've been to Maribor, and I have to agree with this guy >>2901590. Half a day is more than enough for Maribor. Maybe go to Lake Bled instead, at least you can see better sights, do some interesting hikes, do some water activities.

Been to both a few months ago. Timisoara is beautiful. Did not go to Transylvania. Bucharest is complete shit, one of the worst cities I’ve ever been to.

Loved Bulgaria. If you like commieblocks and the like, Sofia is great. Looks very socialist still. Cool trams and a good metro. You can take a train across the entire country for like $10. Veliko Tarnovo is super nice, cool medieval castle. Varna is nothing special. Ruse is a very underrated town near the Romanian border with maybe the best mosaic I’ve ever seen (pictured)

Moldova is also definitely worth a visit. Chisinau is improving very quickly, really not as dilapidated as Bald and Bankrupt made it out to be in that video.

First, if you can't read cyrillic, learn. you can get to like 5 year old sounding it out skill in like ~2 hours and it's worth it to be basic level literate. In Sophia, try Paкeтa paкия бap for an evening. It's a little hokey but the guys running it were really kind. I tipped like ~25% because of how good the service was and the servers came around to thank me and comp'ed a bunch of booze and dessert for my fiance and I. I recommend the шкeмбe чopбa tripe soup.

Plovdiv is in many ways a more interesting city. its really medieval, and they don't really fence off ruins like in other countries so fondly remember eating donner kabab sitting in the seats of the ancient hippodrome imagining the chariots go by. I also remember stumbling down icy uneven steps in the old part of on a cold winter night and on a whim entering a really weird restaurant that seemed to be built around a tree in the middle of a three way intersection. I got a clay vessel of hot wine and a platter of chicken hearts and when the owner found out I was American he absolutely LIT UP with joy and pride and loudly exclaimed "HOHO don't worry friend! here in Bulgaria, no black men! no black bread!". To this day I'm not sure what he had against pumpernickel.

I'm glad to have gone to both, and it was only a few hours on bus between the two. I took a night train from Istanbul to Plovdiv, then bus to Sophia. both weren't much hassle, bought tickets day of.

I will always have a soft spot for Bulgaria, directly after having dealt with so many Turks, the Bulgarians were so kind, and charming, and earnest, and minded their own fucking business - it was so refreshing. Then again, maybe any culture would feel that way in comparison to turks

>>2905093
Sounds comfy. I know a small bit of Russian and can read a lot of cyrillic but idk if that would be enough for someone who still primarily speaks English.

>>2905520
one of the greatest joys of traveling among slavs is that the native speakers use like 0-5 words in a typical interaction. So, if you're white, have good pronunciation, and don't look like an idiot (camera, smiling, stupid American clothes), even a rudimentary vocabulary is "native speaker" level for little day to day interactions out and about.

Sometimes I miss it, just existing in spaces without anyone trying to sell me shit, or talk to me at all. To pay with exact change and walk out with just a look and a grunt from the cashier who doesn't give a shit and doesn't want me to join their membership program. God bless 'em slavs.

In my travels:
>Mexicans/Thai - cannot mind their own business, act friendly, and are friendly, but will turn around and stab you when drunk over some machismo nonsense.
>Turks/Chinese - cannot mind their own business, act friendly, but will rob you and steal your shit with a smile any time they think they can get away with it.
>Japanese - Mind their business, quietly loath tourists, come around to bro tier when drunk
>Slavs - Mind their own business, get really stoked to chat be friendly but only if there's some excuse/pretense for the interaction. you oughtn't cold approach.

>>2905520
You will find almost nobody under 30 who speaks Russian, but the vocabulary matches about 40%

I don't know if they're all fags or just the muslim version of incels that are not yet ready to fuck a goat but they were plenty.

Of course they want to be the center of attention and feel the excitement of being alone in an unsafe place. But then when someone does start messing with them, they realize that it's not all fun and games. The systems of governance they took for granted in their home country do not exist here. Things can go very bad and there's nothing you can do but flee and hope they are too lazy to follow. Suddenly menace is lurking in every laugh, shout or gesture from passersby. Your initial optimism is replaced by paranoid suspicion, which in turn manifests exactly the kind of conniving, disingenuous behavior you are afraid of.

>>2905439
>I'm going to play devil's advocate here ...
That is okay, but why don't hotels offer an earlier check-in against a charge if some rooms are already prepared? Make it 10% of the daily rate per hour, for example.
>And honestly if they take your baggage then there's genuinely no issue whatsoever at that point, just go explore the immediate area for half an hour.
I think the scenario is that you just arrived after a long flight and are jet-lagged. I had an extreme case of this a few years ago on a trip from Europe to Australia. Two long-haul flights with a 5-hour stopover in China. I was barely able to walk in a straight line after that.

>>2905460
>>2905460
>That is okay, but why don't hotels offer an earlier check-in against a charge if some rooms are already prepared

They do, book the room for the day you arrive

>>2905474
If the hotel has a check-in time window from 3pm to midnight, then I can't just arrive at 5 am and expect them to not handle my booking as a no-show and cancel it. I would have to notify them in advance, which is really hard in Japan due to the language barrier.

>>2905588
>it. I would have to notify them in advance, which is really hard in Japan due to the language barrier.

Have you already arranged the flight out from Birmingham? Bristol has an airport that is easy to get to and would be convenient for you otherwise.

>What's the weather like in early October? Rain/mud/flooding? Raincoat necessary?
Cotswolds and west part of England rainier in general compared to east side of country. Had heavy drought so Cotswolds are brown as muck right now. I imagine it'll normally by October though. A raincoat would be handy if you're going hiking a lot, otherwise umbrella will be fine. Flooding does occur but probably not at the time and places when you're going.

>Are the roads generally decent for cycling or are there lots of dirt/rough paths? How bad are the hills?
Its hilly but doable, there are a lot of cycling events in that area, so you should be fine.

>How bad is getting out of Birmingham early morning? Any street around the station/south side I should avoid?
Not bad at all, tickets run cheap in the early morning (pre-08:00) you shouldn't struggle, really. Birmingham is soul-less in general but you're not going to get mugged, don't worry. It is a maze though so do allow some time to get to your station.

>Anything on this route that's not worth bothering with, or anything I've missed?
Most places are semi-day trips. And the scenic Cotswold villages fill up early. It depends on what you want to see. For a pleasant bike ride through they're all good but if you're expecting 'quaint' Cotswolds villages you're going to see bits of them interlaced with tourist swarms past 11:00 A.M. You may be rushing a bit but a lot of these villages like Stow-on-the-Wold and Moreton-in-Marsh don't have much to 'do', they're more nice places to stop for a coffee. Considering Bath and Bristol you are spreading yourself thin. Broadway you'll want to hike to the castle.

>>2904688
>Accommodation seems pretty expensive in the smaller villages. Any cheap hostels/places to stay along the route?
What did you expect? You might get lucky with a YMCA hostel in the country but otherwise Bath and Bristol are where you'd have to go to get cheap accommodation.

>Any street around the station/south side I should avoid?
which station is it from? there's a direct train from the airport to new street so you don't even have to leave the station ideally. but yeah basically all of it keep your wits 'bout you there's a ton of verile crackheads but you'll be fine if you use common sense
