Nah you use city-data.

Also, that really doesn't work since most problem minorities cluster up especially given where this thread has been posting about. School, franchise style gym's, golf courses, absence of "bay(soul) food", churches, lack of a mall, are all good indicators.

If you're looking in the midwest just get something 8-10 minutes outside the suburbs and boom crime drops like a lead weight.

White trash can be just as bad as browns, and just as bad of an influence.

Maine sees fucktons of summer tourists going up the coast to enjoy the mild weather. Many of the old New England blueblood aristocracy stay up there all summer long. Menial work is plentiful, restaurants etc. Damned if you can find an apartment anywhere there is lots of work, however. Interior Maine sees far fewer tourists and is more podunk backwoods weird. Auburn/Lewiston is full of Somalian and Ethiopian migrants who have taken over the whole of Main Street with their shops.

>then why do white trash states have significantly lower crime rates compared to their black counterparts?
Because white trash is smart and knows how to usually hide it, like buying piss from the smoke shop to pass a urine test. Doesn't mean it can't ruin the neighborhood.

They have a superiority complex and are also incredibly high maintenance and insufferable. Both hard to get and undesirable.

>>2886708
The reason you don't hear about them is because they often make near USD salaries so the average /trv/ anon living off the 4% rule, crypto gambles, or working some ~50k/yr remote job won't impress them compared to being in PH/TH or elsewhere that your passive/paycheck income is over a months income. They are also very prolific in english so you can't even use the "practice english" bit to meet most people.

Basically you get people like >>2886726 who have 0 hobbies outside cooming and vidya, waltzing in and unable to hold a better conversation over a wet rag. So they get pissed and fuck off.

Singapore women used to have a "five C's" rule for dating -- the guy had to have a significant amount of Cash in the bank, possess a Credit Card, own a Car and a Condo, and have membership in a Country Club. You could say that's really seven C's, but they only counted the first one in the paired phrases.

That used to not so much apply to foreign men who could get them out of the living hell that is the Singaporean Shopping Mall Dictatorship, but Singapore has gotten less oppressive in the last 30 years.

No one has any rules. If you are in the right place at the right time you win

Euro guy planning an East Coast trip for about two weeks. So far got 3d/4n in NYC, 1d/1n in Philly, 4d/3n in DC. Then I have 5 "free" days to use up but spending more time in NYC is out of question due to the cost, and Boston is too far. Any advice on what I could do around DC?
Should I use the bus or rent a car?
Also taking recs for any places to stay in New York, though from the look of it cheapest places are the Jane, the Chelsea and the Local

Hi, OP here again, since the thread is still alive and i'm boarding the plane tomorrow I will add more details to help other anons who search in the archive regarding gotogate, now and after the flight.

I made the check in just fine and got the boarding pass. GoToGate took 15$ to make the check in automatically but it didn't do it but whatever, maybe it didn't becuase i made the check in like 20 hours before the flight.

I paid with paypal and on the data reseller it says "OY SRG Finland" and on the credit card transaction it says "AIRFAREET", when I looked them up I found only bad reviews only but since I got my boarding pass I guess i got lucky (At least for the first flight, will have to see if I get lucky with the return flight too).
Also after reading this: >>2882465 I think I got lucky even more.
From what I understand booking with third parties is cheaper but if something happens you won't get any help from them or the air line.

OP here, I made it to Canada, no problems with the ticket but my flight didn't get cancelled or delayed.

Heard horror stories from my friends, canceled flights, no support on their side whatsoever, no money-back. It happend like 3 times. I booked with them once and it was kindda sketchy but everything went alright, but after the stories I no longer book with them.

OP here again, since the thread is still alive and tomorrow I have my return flight I will update the thread if something happens.

I made the check in myself again, gotogate didn't do it but again I made it ASAP instead of waiting until the very end. This leads me to believe that the others services they offers like the choice of the seat/luggages stuff etc aren't real.

OP here again I made it back without any issues. I guess I got lucky since I didn't have to test their customer service. Anyway from now on I will only use the official websites instead of third parties just to be more sure. Thanks all.

OP is saying he wants to try life outside of the US. As in a potential permanent move. That's not the same thing as "no goal" travel like backpacking around Europe, staying in hostels and partying every night.

If he has the freedom to see/experience other places why shouldn't he. He has a source of income and is healthy. Could try it out for a couple of years and see what happens.

The curiosity is there. Might as well satisfy it sooner rather than later.

>>2886375

The "native Alaskans" (i.e., Inuits and other aboriginals) have serious problems with both rape and alcohol. Also lots of violence while drunk off their asses.

There was a pretty sad story I read a while back on some forum, some guy talking about how he got hired on a contract to do some repairs out in the oilfield, and he met some really nice girlfriend at a bar while he was out there. He was kind of shocked because he hadn't expected to pull tail that easily, and then she explained that because he was an outsider she knew he wouldn't be raping and beating her constantly, so of course she wanted to be his girlfriend.

Anyway, you can 10X your investment by flying booze in to some of the "no alcohol" villages. Of course if you get caught they can try to throw you in prison for it. IDK how the law works about that stuff up there, there are some weird rules about local jurisdiction over tribal members vs nonmembers when you get into tribal law.

>Muh boomer dad is different from those browns, trust me bruh!
He certainly is an astronaut or a CEO. Anyways, stay in whatever hellhole you are from.

I didn't find Spain that overrun with them, Madrid was the worst but even it wasn't bad. Seville was nice, Granada was really cool, Valencia was fine. It still felt like 'Spain' to me. I have a similar situation with my boomer mom and France. Idk she said she liked it but I notice she hasn't been back despite it being years since her last vacation. The only place she seems interested in visiting anymore are the Orkneys.

Being a boomer, surely he has better things to do than fraternize with loitering street lowlifes. That's not really a boomer activity, they've always been deeply suspicious of young single guys who appear unemployed.

There is still a risk of pickpocketing and snatch theft, which Spain is infamous for. Your dad always locks his house door, right? Well then, he simply has to develop a new set of self-protection habits when he is overseas in that alien environment, the walkable city. Don't leave your phone laying on the table when you use the bathroom, don't place your luggage on the train platform and then walk away from it, always keep passport and cash in your front pants pockets. Walking around Europe only feels dangerous to Americans because they are so unused to being in close proximity to strangers on narrow walkways. Once you realize that proximity =/= danger, you can be at ease when you walk, avoiding eye contact with sketchy characters like Eurocucks typically do. Spain is not Latin America; pickpocketing and street scams might go unpunished, but knife muggings sure as hell don't.

Admittedly would prefer to avoid the countries in Africa closest to the Middle East given recent political events going on.

But now you have my interest because I didn't realize Benin and Togo were safe to visit. What would you even do in those countries?

>>2885454
Benin, Ghana, and Togo are pretty chill for west africa

Togo + Benin an easy itnerary (further north you go more of a pain logistics are)
>Lome (friendly city, beach, culture)
>Kaplime (amazing jungle hikes, use kaplime as your hub it's a laid back city and very friendly)
>Koutammakou area for history and rural life
>Cotonou (Sorta like Lome but a little less interesting, but you can do a day trip to Ganvié which is worth it. Reminds me of Tonle Sap villages in Cambodia but with no tourists)
>Ouidah (python temple ( and go to voudou ceremonies
>Abomey (See the ancient capital, good for history)
If you want really intrepid hiking and camping go further north in either but the closer you get to the border it does become risky politically and all

>Admittedly would prefer to avoid the countries in Africa closest to the Middle East given recent political events going on.
Fair but you could fly via Istanbul instead of Dubai and avoid any risky flights. You're way more likely to get mugged in Windhoek than have an Iranian drone hit you in Asmara

>>2885473
Eritrea is listed as "Avoid non-essential travel" in my country though. Aren't they nicknamed the North Korea of Africa because they kill their own people for trying to escape into Ethiopia?

>>2885489
Are you an Aussie? Australia's travel advisory for Eritrea is really hardcore. USA has it listed as as dangerous as France lol

And yes they are but life there is way more normal than North Korea. Eritrea is more like China or something. If you go there and decide to do political activism or go to areas you aren't allowed it's not smart. But if you go there and are just a tourist it's fine and safe.

>>2885339
Well if you can speak German, you could check out the city of Swakopmund. Beer in Namibia is top tier compared to some of the others so I would at least try one lager while in the city.

Culturally there should be a marketplace that sells stuff, but I also know there was some kind of antique store I didn't have the chance to check out.

Nature wise, I'd look to see if any tour groups start in this city. The city is close to one of the most beautiful deserts in Africa. Otherwise if you want a more traditional safari, try going to Etosha through a tour group out of Windhoek.

Norway is lame as fuck, unless you are out there only to look at nature.

It feels like such a small town. Im from a large city in the US, and it just felt so small. I was in Oslo for most of the trip.

is being a TEFL teacher abroad generally a chill job? I really want a break from the stressful corporate world, I don't want to have to think about project deadlines or attend teams meetings

>>2885925
It depends on the job, but also note in every job no matter how chill, they will eventually start to resent the freedom you have. I've been in the business 12 years started when I was 24, and every job has started and ended similarly, first they are glad to have you, especially if from a country like America, but usually by year 2 or 3 they'll start thinking that the salary they pay you could fund 2 or 3 filipinos to work instead of you, and besides they are happy to be slaves while the bothersome westerner refuses to do extra things outside the scope of his contract, why isn't he a team player?

Why does he only have to show up for classes and leave when they finish while the rest of us have to work an unpaid hour or two? Why does he get weekends off and we have to work an unpaid Saturday. So that building resentment along with fleeing russians, ukrainians, filipinos, pajeets and even africans, willing to be slaves, they have slowly started to see native speakers as burdensome.

I had a pretty chill job in vietnam, 5 years at one school, the longest contract so far, but every year they got less chill, eventually this latest year was the most demanding, I had a 2 years work permit. 1 year still left but they decided to fire me a few days ago as they can get a nice ukranian girl willing to work for 1k usd a month and will look good for their advertisements. I could easily get another job, but the kids have been getting shittier every year, not sure if it's brainrot or vietnamese parents totally spoiling them, at this point even the future doctors of america may be better behaved than them. So I'll be heading back soon even a bs job in america will pay well than staying longer in vietnam, the 5 years I been here the value of vnd has fallen like 20% or more compared to usd.

What is the tax and banking situation like for an American who is working in a foreign country and earning in foreign currency? Working in America seems much simpler from that respect, even if it does mean the dreaded ordeal of physically returning to America every year to scrounge around for work. Tax filing for a simple job in America takes about 20 minutes. Refund, bam! Finished.

And if for some reason you do get deported and blacklisted from a country, what happens if you have a bunch of foreign currency sitting in a local bank account?

>>2886223
You can claim foriegn earned exclusion, it's easyz once went 4 years without filing and basically just ticked that box to stay updated once I returned to america.

>>2886223
Ah you should withdraw any money before you expect to leave the job, Vietnam has closed accounts before of workers that get laid off, and they had to physically return to the original bank it was opened in to withdraw, so if you know ahead of time, better to empty it out before

>Mass migration has killed this country.
>I walked through the suburb of my childhood home last week and every second house has been torn down and converted into a duplex or row of townhouses. Australian culture is built around space - backyard cricket and bbqs, swimming in the pool on a hot summers day, going camping or fishing on the weekend - simple things like that become harder or impossible when you're crammed into some shoebox with a 1 car garage and a yard that you can barely cram a single table into. Not to mention the death of all the native wildlife. Goodbye to possums in the trees, kookaburras on the washing line and bluetongues in the bushes. We traded them for these endless fucking hordes of jeets.
This. It's disgraceful. The new buildings they replace those soulful family homes with nicely sized backyards they tear down are abominations that will be decrepit in a decade. I'd want to kms if I had to live in a new housing estate.

Australia has a lot of things for Australians to see but I would never recommend anyone who isn't from Australia to visit the Kimberly or Sydney unless he is very wealthy and 10k to tick off another continent is peanuts.

>>2885817
Australians especially those on the far left and right slavishly follow whatever America is doing in politics. When you have faggots like Barnaby Joyce paying for "Make Australia Great Again" ads in every Murdoch newspaper you know that we're just copycats.
Before you rant about jeets and sudanese knifegangs I'm not saying that I want anything like that in this country but you're completely disingenuous if you can't recognise that every poli and culture war retard in this country LARPs as an American, cares about American issues, speaks like an American and tries to copy American political movements in Australia.

If OP thinks any of these problems are somehow unique to Australia or didn't develop in tandem with the rest of the west I'm curious to hear where their ideal society is. Probably some faggot who thinks he'll "fit right in" in Japan kawaii desu ethnostate. Find me a downtown in any large city that isn't riddled with homeless people, opiods, investment real estate, bloc project housing, and people with those retarded doordash backpacks running red lights on e-scooters. For what it's worth, I've visited Perth, Melbourne and parts of Sydney on business within the past six or so years and found the suburbs very clean and pleasant. The Sydney CBD was kind of gross but no worse than the Financial District in SF, Bunker Hill in LA, Manhattan, etc. But then again I'm not a pol/ack/ and seeing more than one brown person per day doesn't make me go into a chud fit of rage about great replacement or whatever.

>>2885627

Season 1 was released in 1998. She doesn't get cucked until 2008. That's 10 years of programming before the rug pool. Also lots of subplots among friends, one converts to Judaism for example.
