you can actually take the train down to san diego and just cross the border on foot. you'll probably get across the border faster on foot than with a car. beware the border scams where they charge to take you to the "faster" crossing

TJ is a fun get away. I would plan a stay over night in SD to avoid the 2 hr drive back. Lots of good places to eat. Lots of little bars to visit. tons of tourist shopping and sight seeing on revolution ave. want a beach get away? try Rosarito beach just a few miles further down..

A guy I worked for was a former lineman for an SEC football team in the 80's. He told me story about a time they went to TJ. They went to a show where a lady was picking up coins with her privates. One of them decided to heat it up with a lighter before tossing it down. A brawl ensured between the team and club's bouncers.

also plan to visit Tikal and do the El Mirador hike to the La Danta pyramid

how do you even get around in Guatemala if you want to do nature and mountains? do you rent a bike, a motorbike, use taxis or there are enough minibuses everywhere?

>>2879201
I've been there. There are shuttle buses between all mayor tourist destinations. In the capital Uber works well. I took a flight from Guatemala City to Petén to visit Tikal.

I didn't go to El Mirador, but it sounds like a great adventure. However, I spent two nights in Tikal and the jungle climate almost killed me. Didn't help that I was shitting non-stop (and continued to do so for two months) after eating fried chicken at Brujo Pollo in Guatemala City. I recommend to take probiotic pills as prophylaxis.

I'm going late May. The summer months are their rainy season, but I'm hopeful for good visibility on Acatenango and Fuego.

>Will this officially kill the Cruise Ship industry?
i think plenty of cruise passengers have never heard of hanta virus, and even more will forget about it in a month

>>2880740
sometimes yes and sometimes no. I worked on cruises in University. Some of the port stops are pretty great, but others are in the middle of buttfuck nowehere or in some industrial container port or both. They will say they dock in Rome but then you end up in Civitivecchia. Check the routes, check the ports, but also check where they dock and for how long you will be there. It is pretty brutal to pull up and figure you are just going to be able to walk out to whatever and realize you are stuck trying to get to where you would like or only having a couple of hours if it all to do anything.

>>2880563
Cruise ship riders are NPCs. They're chickens in a cage and they don't think about anything. Just give them alcohol and they're happy. You could announce they're all being killed in 2 days and none would even think about it.

Leaf here, i live in Malta for 3 years now.

Options for you:

- Australia is nice, you get the nature, infrastructure, proximity to asia, but it is very liberal and isolated. The good perk however is that you don't get the same degenerate immigration you get in Canada or in europe. It's mostly asians and some indians.

- Malaysia is only worth it if you got a business or a very stable remote job. The expat community there is a mix between wanted criminals and sex tourists.

- Japan is not worth the trauma you'll get from being treated like absolute shit by every employer and person no matter how well you integrate.

- Malta, from my personal experience it's a great place to live and work as immigration is tightly controlled and the indians they got here are miles ahead of the ones in Canada and they get deported the minute they lose their jobs. They don't get handed permanent residence for serving coffee. Main issue with the island is the overpopulation, how corrupt it is and how it doesn't feel european despite it being an EU country yet the maltese have this obsession with trying to look white even though their language is arabic on steroids and they basically look like north africans.

Just get a remote job and experiment with freelance visas here and there, find places you truly enjoy and settle down there at some point. Only way to be truly happy.

Cheaper than Chile, Argentina and especially Uruguay or Costa Rica, more expensive than other LATAM countries. I think it's similar to Mexico, but better value and arguably safer as a whole

isn't the interior more filled with medieval villages/"portuguese" vibes etc? the coast from what i understand is completely inundated with tourists

>>2881659
>isn't the interior more filled with medieval villages/"portuguese" vibes etc?
depends on what you mean by interior
my "alongside the coast" would include the ~20km from the coast
basically anything you can reach within a bicycle daytrip from your camping trip

but yeah
the actual, the immediate coast is very touristy
also where most of the people live though
so it's not necessarily bad
just depends on what you want to see

if you want to see villages like Sortelha
these are in the actual interior

>>2875595
Well yeah, the economy is still fucked. If money wasnt an issue Greece is a beautiful country with lots of shit to do unless you’re a massive cityfag in which case Athens is pretty mid.
Im curious why you say avoid Crete though? I know some people from Chania who say its nice, or is it more unbearable during peak tourist season?

>>2875554
Go to Lefkada. April and May were great times to go, not too hot and not too wet. Was virtually devoid of tourists at that time of year despite having good tourist infrastructure already open. Everyone was very friendly and roaming doesn't seem to be an issue on the island. We drove all roads and saw all sights with plenty of discovery of things we would have never found on Google Maps. The country as a whole is a 10/10, probably up there with Japan for places that live up to the hype. Just don't stay in Athens if you can avoid it.

>>2881467
You said it yourself. You can never run out of places to go. Just pick one and go.

Sometimes those low prices are only offered by sketchy third-party booking sites that nobody has ever heard of. High risk of not actually being able to get on the plane, making your 40 hour journey significantly longer than that.

US airlines didn't hedge their kerosene prices
and that's why they don't have any deals as they price in the current variability of fuel prices for future flights

>Also I don't care that these are 40h flights
won't help you here
these only work for stitched together journeys by 3rd party vendors for undesirable, discounted legs

your problem is that no flight leaving from or arriving to the USA will be discounted
so even the 40h options will be barley cheaper

she didnt let me kiss her, but i gave a kiss in her cheek and she went red and started sweating.

she barely speaked english and so our date was just walking and looking at pretty things like river or butterflies.

I am moving to europe only to find someone like that again.

Thats some israeli tier mental gymnastics. From the moment you promise to a girl to not fuck anyone else, you are bound to that promise regardless of legal status. Because having no integrity will turn you into an unreliable dishonest faggot over time. If you have no principles, you may as well become a politician or a banker.

Thanks for the answers guys, I appreciate you trying to calm my nerves. Just focus and I'll be fine. Looking at a map it seems I'll be able to get around on major roads and avoid the dirt tracks altogether, which helps a lot.
>roundabouts
If I get to a double mini roundabout I'll straight up turn on my hazards and just inch through it lol. Those things fucking scare me.
>I don't know what country you're from or which countries you've visited
I'm from Norway and have driven here and in Sweden and Denmark with my own car as well as in Portugal and Latvia with a rental. Roads here can be single-lane with passing places every few hundred meters, so at least I'm familiar with the concept.
>Having said that British drivers are generally polite and patient.
That's comforting to hear. Better than here then lol. I've ordered one of those green P plates on Temu and fingers crossed it'll arrive before I leave. Do people really respect it? If you drive with a red L here people just become more impatient around you.

>>2876541
If you want to be extra reassured, the UK driving test is one of the hardest in the world... so people are usually more understanding and polite when driving with drivers that might not be as well-versed like learners with L or P plates. Mini roundabouts are easy, just make sure no-one is approaching from the right.

>>2876874

OP here, I'm home again now. Sorry for not updating you guys, I was constantly on the move and I hate phoneposting, so when I saw someone had bumped the thread I just decided to wait until I was home and could write on my PC again. It went about as you guys predicted, it was surprisingly easy and I adjusted to the opposite driving pattern within a minute. I positioned myself in the "wrong lane" on parking lots all the time, but other than that I had almost no issues.
>roundabouts
Easiest thing I've ever done. I was very surprised how easy my brain adjusted to going around it the wrong way. Using the opposite indicators were strange though lol.
>mixing up the blinkers and wipers
Didn't happen once, another thing my brain just had no issues with
>staying in my lane
This one I did find difficult. I found myself drifting over to the left quite often, I'd check my mirrors and see that my left wheel was almost on the white line. Meeting other cars on a narrow road was quite uncomfortable for that reason, I had no sense of how large my car was or where in the lane I was positioned.
>t-junctions
My brain computed the roundabouts fine, but struggled massively when I approached a T-junction and the cars were coming from opposite sides than what I'm used to. I almost got murked once because I was going right, looked left and saw no one, started rolling into the road, and slammed on the brakes because a car was coming full speed from the right in the lane I was about to cross. That was quite scary and I took my sweet time in those situations after that.
>green P
My green P plate arrived from Temu before I left and I used to the entire time. Impossible to say if it made any difference, no one honked at me or anything at least. I generally found Brits to be good drivers, I think they'd benefit from learning to keep a greater distance to the car in front, but other than that, no problems. Thanks everyone again for the advice I got here.

>>2881277
Lately it has been alternating between hazy humid weather and persistent clouds/rain up here. This means snowy peak vistas and brilliant blue skies have been scarce. Many people choose to go in winter despite the bitter cold, because winter often brings blue-sky days of remarkable clarity.

BTW you can get a "true Himalaya" feeling in any Himalayan province. I'm not saying you shouldn't go to Sikkim, but touting it as the best place in the world is surely an exaggeration when you have so many other Himalayan provinces with more than their own share of spectacular beauty. Other Himalayan provinces are so much larger and more accessible by public transport as well.

Take one example: the skyline of Munsyari with its multiple pointy summits like Pancha Chuli mogs this Sikkim skyline is with its two unremarkable rounded peaks. However, the summits were hidden by cloud for the entirety of my visit. Only on the final morning as I was riding out of Madkote on the bus did I look back and catch a glimpse of a sharp snowy peak against a pale blue morning sky.

I didn't care for Pithoragarh too much. Maybe I've just had enough of India at this point. The town was situated in a high-altitude mountain bowl, but apart from the route heading up to this overlook, there were hardly any natural features worth trekking or exploring in the vicinity. Traffic wasn't horrendous, but the winding valley roads were still very busy. No high peaks in the area, only layer upon layer of forested green hills slashed by the occasional river gorge. Still, if you just want a mountain getaway to live cheap and simple at 6000 feet altitude, with bus trips to more scenic places when it's time to scratch that travel itch, Pithoragarh is not a bad choice.

The fir forests near Lohaghat were some of the most beautiful forests I've ever seen. Gigantic old trees high up on a cool mountain. The village is crammed into as little roadside space as possible so as to avoid cutting down any of the firs, which grow right up to the edge of the populated area. The bus passed by some very pleasant nature trails that left the road to enter the forest.

The Himalayas do deserve far more thorough exploration than this dinky little summary trip across the lower mountains of Uttarakhand. You can easily spend months seeing the sights of a single state, provided you have mountain trekking gear and are capable of venturing into the backcountry beyond the end of the road for the local taxis. However, make no mistake. The Himalayas are not easy or comfortable. Flatland India has a much more agreeable climate for leisure living (outside of heat waves). You can expect to be cold and damp for most of the year up here. The mountain village food is okay, not as bad as I feared it would be.
