Do yourself a favor anons and avoid the strip and stay at South Point. They got $5 minimum bets on blackjack all the time, Texas Hold'em is good as well but not recommended to play anything else.

They also got a lot of good restaurants, and they got a midnight steak deal. Lastly, movie theater/bowling alley. All fun

This. Avoid MGM/Caesars properties unless you’re planning to spend $5000 or more. The big properties are terrible value. Stay at a Station Casino or anywhere else

Why are people so obsessed with "how many countries have you visited" when the truth is that every province or prefecture of countries like England, Italy, Japan, Switzerland, Spain and France have more things to see, more traditions and culture than any country in Latin America (save for Mexico and Brazil), any country in the Slavosphere besides Russia or any African country besides Egypt/Morocco?

Seriously, take some random irrelevant industrial prefecture like Toyama, Japan, population 1 million. It has a 400-year old Buddhist temple featuring masterpieces of feudal era artists such as Sesshu and Kano Tanyu, the UNESCO-rated village of Gokayama featuring real lived-in centuries-old wooden houses, a sake brewery that has been operated by the same family since 1626 and stunning mountains, featuring the only glaciers in East Asia outside of Russia and countless beautiful onsens to bathe in.

Meanwhile Uruguay, population 3.4 million and a world-renown tourist destination, has 3 DEI UNESCO sites (a delapitated poorly built ugly town from the 1700s, a church from 1958 and a meatpacking plant), their most famous natural site is a ten metre waterfall from the valley of Lunarejo, the icon of the city, Palacio Salvo, was designed by an Italian with zero connection to the land and is a direct copy of Palacio Barolo from Buenos Aires, and its national dish is plain old beef.

Is it just me or Hungary seems devoid of tourist attractions besides Budapest?

>>2752021
Pécs, in the south of Hungary, is a hidden gem, one that I highly recommend visiting if you have a day or two to spare. it's home to a large university so the night life is bussin', with lot of young people/foreigners, the museums are awesome, the architecture is crazy, from Roman crypts and Ottoman era mosques to Baroque cathedrals and Art Nouveau, Art Deco and Bauhaus, while its proximity to Villány, a major wine growing town, means there's plenty of good stuff to get hammered with.

As other anons in this thread pointed out, in the country there is nothing nearly comparable to Budapest by density of attractions, nightlife, cultural stuff, etc. However, that doesn't mean the rest of the country is a barren wasteland. When I was in Budapest for a few days I took a day trip around, saw Szentendre, the Visegrad fortress, and Esztergom with the big ass church and the view on Slovakia over the river (picrel). There's some nice countryside and it's overall a pleasant trip - nothing worth flying to Hungary for unless you're also visiting Budapest though. In a few weeks I'll be in Timisoara and I might do a quick jaunt over the border to see Szeged, will report if I find anything interesting

Travelling full time after college
Is it a good idea to travel full time upon graduating college this year? I don’t have a job lined up and I’ve had 0 internships so I’m thinking just fuck it and travel the world full time for a while
I could easily fund this by starting a YouTube channel and doing clickbaity travel videos
I’ve seen other people doing shit like this on YouTube where they just vagabond around to random third world countries
Is this a good idea?

That depends on you. When you see how people in these poorer countries live in the moment from day to day, and still somehow find happiness in life, will you be willing to return to America and enslave yourself to a plan whose rewards are years in the future?

And no, you don't have to go to Random Unvisited Shithole Country for that rebellion against expectations to happen. For me it happened after a monthlong camping trip in the Appalachians, primarily in West Virginia. The idea of finishing my degree and becoming another generic corporate wagie dork became anathema to me when there was all that beautiful country to wander around in, all those places that nobody from outside the region have ever heard of. Eleven years later, the purpose of my work remains the same: to save money in order to travel to interesting places and discover them for myself.

Touristy cities full of rich snobbish vacationers are so goddamn tiresome. Some Euro chick walking with her beta cuck boyfriend turned her nose in the air - literally, not figuratively - when walking past me last night.

I'm about to wrap up a week long solo drive across northwest Africa. Aside from losing today due to mechanical issues (I should be on the road again tomorrow), it has been a fun trip.

I'm on a bit of a deadline, so I don't stray too far off the main routes, but I didn't feel any concern driving up from the Senegal border to Nouakchott or from Nouakchott to Nouadhibou or the Moroccan border.

I seriously doubt direct PRC involvement
their non-intervention schtick, while only true on the surface level, has been their number one moral argument for decades at this point and I doubt they will move away from it for the Burmese junta

I cant see a way out for the junta especially considering the fact that the rebels arent anti-China or anything of sorts
>>
>>2757972
I agree that overt military intervention seems really unlikely, although who knows how much covert technical or advisory support could be expanded before it looked to the outside world like boots on the ground. Surely cheaper and easier for them to bide their time and cut deals with whomever ends up on top when the dust settles. But I also don’t know how serious these supply chain disruptions are to them; if there’s a point at which direct intervention starts to look like a better deal than postwar reconstruction, I’m sure much more could be done even on the down low.
>>
>>2757972
>>2758020
Oh, and I forgot about another reason China might prefer to discreetly help the junta win (although, again, I agree that open military intervention still seems vanishingly unlikely). While it’s obvious that no active or aspiring political force in Myanmar would ever be insane/stupid enough to expound an explicit anti-China line, there’s a lot of quiet ambivalence about China on the ground, across ethnicities and segments of society. And I’m confident that suspicion of China is more widespread among at least some of the rebel organizations, whose numbers include (among others) lots of evangelical Christians with deep-seated if outdated anxieties about the godless Reds. Combining the fact that the junta has historically been at least reasonably competent at managing the extraction and export of the various natural resources that Chinese industry vacuums up with the fact that they might be moderately easier to work with than whatever new regime is to come, with a lower final price tag for redevelopment (because whenever and however the fighting ends, it’s inevitable that the PRC will be leading and paying for most reconstruction), there are plenty of good reasons for China to want a quick end to the conflict in favor of the devils they already know.

2 of my closest friends don't travel with me anymore and I think it's cause I'm a shitty person to travel with since I get stressed out easily and can be kind of bossy/irritable. I'm working on changing this.

One of these guys has just started doing an annual vacation with his girlfriend exclusively, and another one of my friends told me he plans on going to Europe with a friend from one of his hobbies, and from there, solo travel to Asia. No mention of inviting me, but point taken, ofcourse.

I've burned bridges with friends travel wise and there's a lot of places I still want to go, but I don't know if I should just solo-travel without bringing it up to my friends, or really try to force a group trip, even though we don't do those anymore.

One time I went out to dinner at a nice little budget eatery in Getsemani (a backpacker neighborhood in Cartagena) with a fellow American I met at the hostel. When we ordered our meals I ordered pescado frito and he ordered carne. When the dishes came and my sizzling fish looked so much more appetizing than his stewed beef, he tried to insist to the waiter that he had ordered a fried fish and didn't want beef. I backed up the waiter, and he sullenly resigned himself to eating his meal. Needless to say, we parted ways afterwards and didn't talk again.

Lots of newbie travelers at hostels get upset about this; you talk to someone for a couple hours and then you get to thinking "whoa, I made a friend, what can we do together tomorrow?" Then tomorrow comes around and the veteran traveler only has a casual "goodbye, enjoy yoru trip" as he/she continues on to the next destination. Doesn't even remember your name. This doesn't upset me, quite the contrary. One social episode per person is ideal. That's why I prefer solo travel to travel with a friend.

Every time I have a friend who wants to travel with me I realize how fucking retarded they are. I mean full stop good friends I know turn into mouth breathers who I question how they dress themselves. It doesn't help these people are so far up their own ass they don't realize they are the worst fucking travelers who can't just shut the fuck up and go along with the ride.

>don't know if I should just solo-travel without bringing it up to my friends
>really try to force a group trip
Yup, you're one of those man babies that made me travel solo early on. Ask me how I know you're one of those guys who just tries to get their friends to tag along on trips because as soon as you do the 1-2 things you wanted expect them to pick up the slack and keep you entertained.

If my friends want to do something I'll go meet up with them for a few events then fuck off, you don't know how many problems that solves.

Traveling with friends is cancer. I never want to do that shit again. It made me realize how much of a loser piece of shit they are. I travelled with two other friends. One of them was fine, but I don’t even want to see the others fucking face ever again. First trip abroad and literal non stop bitching and moaning 24/7 for weeks on end.
