I have a 15 hour flight ahead of me tomorrow boys. Give me some advice to help me not want to kill myself. I purchased the in-flight Wi-Fi along with advanced economy for the extra legroom, brought a book, a battery pack charger for my phone along with a small camping pillow for my window seat. Wish me luck
>>2646146Xanax would end 4 hours into the flight he needs diazepam
Podcasts and kratom
I had a 22 hour (not including a few hours at the stopover) flight a few months ago and survived just fine without drugging myself. Make sure you stay hydrated, I drank so much water it's unreal. I spent most of the time watching in-flight entertainment and unsuccessfully attempting to sleep, they had some chill nature documentaries which had me nodding off for small periods of time but I could not get comfortable enough to sleep. Walk around and stretch your legs when the cabin crew aren't handing out food too.

Headed to Iceland as a single guy. Planning on doing a snorkeling trip and having a car to tour around in. Anybody else have good recommendations?
>>2645560I am flying in from Oman. I want to see snow.
>>2645566Yes I’ve done this. The snorkel tour is in glacier meltwater that runs in a fault between two plates. Water is crystal clear and you get exceptional visibility of the geological stuff if you like that sort of thing. Glacier runoff is at 2 degrees C so you get put in a 7mm wetsuit or a dry suit. You think you want the latter but the former is better imo. No animals, just rocks to look at, it’s not the Caribbean. >>2645508Ring road can be done in a day if you gun it without looking at anything. The south coast has a lot to see as does the area around Myvatn. Doing it over 10d or so lets you take in the main sights. A lot of the roads to anything not swarming with other tourists are shitty gravel tracks which are too much for many hire cars.You just have to draw up an itinerary and then do it. You can post it here for critique. Only a couple of tourist traps not worth seeing - blue lagoon (spend 5% of the entry fee going to literally any municipal pool) and that plane wreck (unless you like planes).
>>2646067You won't see snow until around November
>>2646238I’m planning on going to Andora in November. I’ll keep that in mind if I visit again though.
>>2646067its possible that you see snow, one of the days in late may when i was staying in myvatn it snowed. just dont count on it for sure.
No hostels. I'm 40
>>2645911>spent a year in Uganda, Kenya and Rwanda fucking girls off tinder how much for anal?
>>2645885Private hostel rooms cost more than a similar hotel room, particularly in a hip travel hostel. With only one or two rooms in the place, you are usually paying 3 or 4 times the rate for a bunk, and even at that high price, the room lacks amenities that are standard in a hotel room. If you see a hostel with cheap private rooms, chances are it is a place for rootless brokefags and migrant laborers to crash out, and there won't be any social action going on.>>2645891More like drunk, horsefaced 32 year olds in this day and age, kek
>>2646055>how much for anal?No price. I don't need the money
>>2645911Isn’t Kenyan lodging kind of expensive? Did you go to Nyali beach in coombasa? Did you take prep?
>>2646233That's pretty crazy considering median monthly income per capita is $170 in Kenya.Here in Taiwan, median monthly income is $1700, but I have averaged $25/night for perfectly satisfactory rooms, not at all slum-tier.
can I get a QRD on staying in the state of Sabah, Mayalsia long-term!
>>2643810It's not like Sarawak with semi-autonomous border controls. Entry to West Malaysia also grants you entry to Sabah. As far as getting legal temporary residency, that depends on the Malaysian government's policies. 90 days visa-free is standard.

>>2645871Great. More non-Whites. Just go to commiefornia. They have everything you need.
>>2646160A bullshit thread, unless you're mexico and just got into an H2B program. "they didn't ask that many questions" is bullshit. Were you just accepted into the program and still need to do the Visa process or what, as someone who works with a bunch of H1B's and have friends who did visa's from a friendly country like korea; they ask some pretty specific questions unless you have some kind of formal student visa, H1/H2 program, or family living in the USA.
>>2646174questions were very simpleif I am marriedif I have kidswhere I am planning to godo I know someone thereetc...literally yes/no questionsthe interview took a few minutes and I got my visait was the easiest part of the whole process. easier than the medical exam.
>>2646186Are you sure this was for a visa and not ESTA?
>>2646195yeah? why are you surprised?did you really think it was that hard?it's not. asked many other people and it's the same case.pretty much 45% of people selected get a visa.majority of the other remaining 55% are people who didn't complete the procedure, either didn't check the results or didn't even bother doing the medical exam, or didn't have enough money etc...it's not rocket science. you get selected. you follow the instructions and if you are not an absolute retard you are guaranteed to get a visa.
What to do in Indonesia?Where would you go and what would you do if you were there for a few weeks?
>>2644111I guess that makes sense, most of the plantation lots would be small family ones and not gigantic organized estates bulk producing and the beans would be sent green anyways.
>>2641959Spent 5 weeks in Indonesia this year. Let me know if you need any tips for Maluku or the Banda Sea.Skip Java and Bali.
wow, whan an absolutely insufferable bunch of cuntsguess indonesia is off the list
>>2641959Lan in Jakarta, look around the city, enjoy the nightlife etc. Take train to Bandung and see nearby volcano then move on to Borobudur and Prambanan Temple. Go from there to nearby city of Yogyakarta a historic capital with lots of local culture, spend a few days there before checking out some of the remote beaches and fishing villages on the south coast of Java. Beautiful beaches, friendly locals and hardly any western tourists, unlike Bali. Then I would make my way to Surabaya and check out that area for a few days before travelling by boat and land to Bali. After Bali I would check out the neighbouring island of Lombok which is less touristy but has lots of natural beauty (picrel). Then II would go back to Bali and get a cheap flight with Citilink to Dili, East Timor. It's only a two hour flight and usually quite cheap. That way you can say you have been to this small SEA country that not many people know about and check out some of the beaches and places there. It's not very developed though and there's not a great deal to do so probably 1 or 2 nights max is enough. Then just take the return flight to Denpasar and fly towards home from there, if you are flying into Jakarta then you can fly to Jakarta via Denpasar.
You guys have really good local restaurant recs? Budget is about 235k IDR per pax - I doubt any recs are even going to be that expensive, but I don't want a sit-down restaurant that is TOO fancy, just somewhere I can take my friend that is going to seriously impress him that I know about it. I want to find something that's local, maybe a Mom and Pop shop, but has food leagues above what you'd normally find as a tourist.
im planning to visit russiamy problem is where can i stay in russia for cheap?my budget is 1000 euro for 1 month including food and train tickets
>>2643250>implying belgorodoids aren't getting *ACK*ed2 more weeks to Kyiv, zizter!

>>2643894If only America had big, or perhaps Great, freshwater lakes of its own...
>>2639048Where you can't? Rooms with shared bathrooms are ~free
Anyone been to the Oaxacan Coast? going with my wife at the beginning of May. Flying into Huatulco but then after it's wide open. Thinking of renting a car and cruising the coast to check out all the little towns along the way. Maybe see some bioluminescent algae. Eat some dope food. Maybe do some drugs on the beach. Any and all info or tips are welcome.
Sadly I never headed south of Oaxaca City on my big Mexico roadtrip two winters ago. The mountains are amazingly beautiful, I can tell you that.
Bumping for #real travelers
We haven't had a Digital Nomad thread in a while.>I quit my company and signed back on with them as a freelancer>Total freedom to work anywhere within Asia Pacific>Software Engineering>Income of about US$5,000>Thinking either Thailand or MalaysiaOk that's enough about me discuss the topic of digital nomadism. Seems like Thailand is the only retainer rational choice for infrastructure and cost. Japan seems promising but their visas are strict and it's relatively expensive.
>>2645289>implying you wouldn’t just be hunching over your MacBook Pro in the daytime
Like everyone says. Avoid the Philippines. It is awful. I already see too many blacks here. Please just avoid the Philippines because it is a terrible place. These people are always angry and they hate foreigners. I never see Filipinos smile or have a good time. It’s awful. Stay away!
>>2645923>>2641992Manila is unironically awful unless you make at least $4000+ a month (which is top 1% of income in the country, not makati/bgc). a decent rental in makati/bgc is $1000+ a month. more like $2000 for a nice pad. a $500/m place will be 22 sqm and shit. everything is just more expensive in PH because the country is not functional like thailand. literally the only redeeming factor of manila is the fact that you can enjoy the XTREME wealth inequality living comfy on top of a luxury Ayala land mixed use development that is essentially concentrating all the wealth in one neighborood, while surrounded by pathetic slums and servile pinays who are 5 ft tall. 4chan is full of midwit larpers who want to feel self-satisfied so they congregate in SEasia threads and brag about their lifestyle but it falls apart in the PH generals because actual manila expats know how the game works here. if you know you know type of situation. the entire country operates on scamming one another but at a certain point, the low trust high inequality culture starts to work in your favor if you're the one with the cash calling the shots.
Anyone done digital nomad with college? I'm getting a degree online for an art field (yeah I know, faggot, not real degree, etc), all self-paced so I don't need to attend anything.I have some money to cushion a start, no obligations or ties, and I'm thinking about just hopping around cities in the US staying at Airbnbs for a month and getting my degree via laptop instead of PC.I have a place to store my stuff in my home state and will still officially reside there as well.For work I figure I can just try to hop around restaurants as a dishwasher or server or something, outside of school I'd have nothing to do so I could workmaxx for money.
Where will you be spending the summer?I’ve got a crazing for somewhere tropical but I know I won’t accomplish my summer goals in such a place…
How do you decide whether or not to travel with someone?One of my friends is trying to break into the larger music scene, he's done some live shows in smaller clubs in some big cities. He wants to go perform in Europe this summer. He's asked me to come with him.The problem is, the only thing this guy talks about is his music and shows. He's obsessed with it. While I'm happy for him, he doesn't actually take much interest in my life. I probably see him once every few weeks.I've gone on roadtrips with him where we haven't really said a single word, because we don't really talk. I dread hanging out with him without our larger friend group because either we don't talk at all while hanging out or we only talk about him & his music.I don't know why he wants me to go with him, I think it's to split the costs since no one else wants to go. The thing is, I feel like I'm pretty much just a background character to him. This whole trip to him is to advance him musically I don't really know if I'll be able to fuck off and do things by myself.I'm trying to think positively about this, especially since I told him I'd go with him, but we haven't booked anything. I've never been to Europe. Is it worth going under these conditions? It would be a 2.5 week trip.
>>2646037>How do you decide whether or not to travel with someone?It’s a question of how much I want to spend time with this person and how much I want to go where they’re going. If I really want to go where they want to go, I can enjoy traveling even with someone I don’t otherwise have a ton in common with—under ordinary circumstances, two not-so-close friends traveling together can and should be able to split up and do their own things sometimes, so you needn’t be handcuffed to one another 24/7. I spent a few weeks backpacking in Laos and Vietnam with a guy who got on my nerves in some ways, because we’d just finished a course together and were going in the same direction. It was just fine. He still gets on my nerves, but I’m glad to have him as a casual/Facebook friend at a distance, years later. But it sounds as though you like this guy less than I liked the guy I wound up traveling with. I would only consider going with him if his tour itinerary was really exciting to me. You say you haven’t booked anything, but presumably he’s got shows booked, or will soon? If he’s scheduled to play places you really want to visit, go for it. Build solo time/excursions/day trips into your itinerary, and probably make it clear that you won’t be attending every gig on the tour (unless you’re helping him load in/out or sell merch or something, in which case he ought to be paying more of the expenses than you are, if not outright paying you). Otherwise, it really sounds like you don’t want to go, and although I think you could be pleasantly surprised by the experience , you still have time and can come up with plenty of good reasons to back out.
>>2646037being a hanger on a small time music shows is a potential ice breaker with sluts around europeis he doing music gigs solo.. how is he needing you to go with him assuming you tihnk he doesn't think much of you - nervous to travel himself?
>>2646062Yeah he hates doing things by himself, he will refuse to go out to eat or go to the movies/festival if he has to go aloneI'm sure he'll still go
Will have a week here. Read it is quite dirty and gritty and streets are cramped.I'm fine with that in order to see thr history.What is it like in April time.And is it worth leaving the city to stay at other places, islands or beaches?Is there a good itinerary which lists the good places to see. Hard to gauge from pics which ruins are best.Also which museums are best. Interested in history without being a faggot about it.Greek food is hit or miss for me so going expecting that already.
>>2644670It true. I love going to McDonalds in Syntagma and sit at the window to look at all those big udders moving around.
>>2643418Define "middle budget".Omonoia and Metaxourgeio are your main dumps in the city centre. Don't stay there, it's literally on the level of African junkies shooting heroin on the street. Generally everything west of Acharnon/Patision street is a shithole.Kypseli is also an immigrant dump but it's considerably safer, especially around Fokionos Negri, not a bad call if you're looking for a dirt cheap place not that far away.If you have the money, feel free to stay in Monastiraki, Plaka, Koukaki or whatever touristy place around the Acropolis, it's gonna be 100% safe and comfy.
>>2643418The part inside the red line is mostly fine.
Athens is a great small walkable city to explore.The history is condensed in one place and you can see it all quickly or slowly depending on your interest.I will write a better reply soon for you anon.P.s Yes Greek women have huge tits
>>2643297I studied in Athens for a semester. You’re absolutely right that it’s dirty and gritty, but not terribly cramped. April is great, not too crowded and not too hot. Absolutely leave the city, listen to >>2643317 and >>2643382 suggestions. I regret not visiting the Temple of Poseidon at Sounion, on the southern tip of Attica. I didn’t go to the beach while I stayed there but I’ve heard the best beaches are south of Athens around Glyfada and on the other side of Attica, Porto Rafti comes to mind.National Archaeological Museum is incredible. I enjoyed the Cycladic Art museum and the Byzantine museum.As for neighborhoods, anything east of the Acropolis is fine, north and south of it too. Never felt unsafe anywhere, but some places are definitely shady, you could also get pick-pocketed just about anywhere.If you are interested in establishing relations, Metaxourgeio and Filis are your bottom tier, Neos Kosmos and Kassandras St. are better. Kekkos in Pangrati has good cheap coffee + pastries, run by a very friendly family.
Redpill me on Flushing Chinatown in Queens, NYCI want to travel but not go to far. I live in upstate NY so I wouldn’t even be leaving the state.All I know is that it’s the biggest Chinatown in the US now. And street view on Google Maps make it look comfy.
>>2629088I went on a date with a chinese woman in flushing back in december and was the only white person in the area.
i didn't think i would love nyc as much as i did...i did really only hang out in manhattan and long island and one god tier lunch in brooklyn at this restaurant called kashkar
the chinese in america don't use gutter oil do they?
NYC will soon be Chinese clay.
>>2634150Why would you colonize a country? Think Timmy, think. Just look what the Catholic Church did to Europe when it was a real country, now we see their influence everywhere.
I got my B.S. in engineering last year and I want to move to South Korea>no work experience>can't speak Korean>no TEFL cert. and would prefer not to teach English>haven't applied for a visa yet and might need sponsorshipWhat are my options for getting there and staying long-term?
>>2645686It’s not happening. The only way for white losers to scamper into those countries is via TEFL or they’re some remote coding dorker. It suits most fine, despite the squawking about how they have to work at night because they wouldn’t be doing cool things at night anyway
>>2645686get into a graduate programme with a korean company branch in your home countryhyundai heavy industries, doosan or samsung would be good choicesonce you are inside the company make sure you tell everyone how much you love korealook out for secondments/postings to korea on the internal jobs board
>>2645686>want to move to South KoreaThe question you should ask is: Why would a Korean firm want to employ me, and pay a premium because I cost more to import into the country (visas, permits, etc.)?If you cannot answer the question, then you have your answer whether you want to admit it or not. Daily reminder degrees are dime a dozen, and not worth the paper they're printed on (ironically, I'm a newly hired tenure-track prof)
>>2645686Start networking and pick up some basic language stuff, doesn't need to be "fluent in a week" but even a little shows people you cared enough to look it up.
Go as a student to Korean language school, find some students at companies for business English, eventually become a translator and billingual employee at the company.Actually just give up, they don't need you nor want you and you have nothing to offer. A bachelors in engineering? They have thousands of them who speak Korean natively and fluent English.
Do you let others or things annoy you when travelling?Or do you just ignore it.If not, post examples1. Americans asking questions in a museum (it will be a moronically stupid child level question of ignorance).2. French/Dutch accent is heard nearby3. Queue skipping
>>2645682that person does not sound like a friend
>>2645573I stayed at the Ritz in Tokyo. It was quite nice. It was memorable. But so was the 10$/night shitholes I stayed in too because or the memories I made. The places I went to because those 10$ shitholes were in close proximity to other spots. Paying hundreds of dollars a night at 5 star/luxury resorts in foreign countries is generally retarded. It's the same manufactured bullshit. I can stay at luxury destinations in my home country, why do I need to fly for 12 hours to do the same thing I can do at home? I travel to travel, not stay in a hotel no matter how nice it is.
>>2645573Travelers realize it very much, they don't do it because they aren't privileged like you. Hotels can easily become the single most expensive thing about traveling, even above the plane ticket cost.
>>2645271He ran into me from behind. I then shoulder checked him harder from behind. I was at Taipei 101 and think security caught me doing it as I could see some of them staring at me and walking near me at some points. They didn't say anything to me though. Previously I made eye contact and smiled with him and his business associates taking the tour. Even though I can't understand Korean I could tell they were talking shit about me.
>>2645263Actually I don't see most people caring about that. The few who are outspoken irl are really insecure people that nobody likes, for example fat ugly dumb people always complaining. And online it's just Russian and Chinese bots.
