Is it true that all inclusive resorts don’t want single people or really single men staying and that’s why the price for one person in the same for 2?
>>2749353That's not why the price is the same. Nobody cares what you are doing at all, as long as you leave other guests alone.Tl;dr is 2 people staying in a room is about the same as 1 person. The occupancy is designed as 2 to a room by default. 1 person only doesn't save resources or save the hotel money.
>>2749353A single person uses the same number of rooms as 2 people you retardIts not some conspiracy.
>>2750169>>2750174But it’s all inclusive so they are eating more and drinking more than 1 person
>>2750182not by any margin that matters, those hotels throw out a shit ton of food and drink
>>2749353yeah because they know a single man is more likely to call up a prostitute or just be a weirdo in general
how much time do you have to spend in a place to actually get a sense of it?
>>2750051yeah I don't get the point of destination checklists like the guy in OP will be spending 50% of the time in or commuting to airports. maybe he's a pilot i dunno

What is a good destination where I can get a hair transplant as well as a nice tutoring vacation with fun stuff to do? No turkey suggestions please
>>2749499Hair is a man’s makeup. Do you like when women wake up with no makeup and look like ghastly goblins? That’s what bald men look like every waking moment of their life.
>>2749733i think you're sleeping with the wrong kind of women anon
>>2749733Actually yes I like women when they look naturally and you should too. Pornbrain is killing you bro, consume less digital media

Bzzzzt! That’s the WRONG ANSWER.You don’t get to “opt out” of having hair when handsome Korean dudes with 2 inch cocks, full heads of lush hair, and cash splashing cultural norms are your competitors in the peckersphere.Hideous bald white faggots need NOT apply.

Tell me about Myanmar. I saw some shit about it on Instagram the other day and, at least as far as Yangon (FKA Rangoon) is concerned, it looks fairly modern and developed. However, I've never seen or heard this country being discussed anywhere, I've never met anyone that's from there or been there, and this time last week I couldn't even tell you where it was on a map.
I was open for a very brief period a few years ago, everyone I met who went said it was amazing. I planned on going but then the junta made a come back. Its an active war zone, you'd be an idiot to even try and go. Foreigners are regularly arrested on suspicion of espionage and helping rebels.
>>2749457I was there for a month recently, so if you have any questions, feel free to ask.In short, it's a beautiful country, but unfortunately, with the ongoing war, it’s not worth visiting. You can only travel to a few places, and there isn’t much to do apart from visiting temples. Granted, the temples are cool, but after the 69th temple, it does get booring. The food is the worst I’ve ever eaten, and there are no proper hospitals so if something happens to you, you’re dead.You’ll either meet the nicest people on the planet or the absolute worst (god scammed 3 times). Hotels are on the more expensive side, and foreigners are only allowed to stay in specific ones. These hotels are few in number and only available in larger towns. Without a pricey private taxi, it’s nearly impossible to get to smaller towns to which you are technically allowed to go but it is still trouble.There isn’t much nature to explore or hiking to do because of landmines, UXOs, and apparently bandits. The only exception is around Inle Lake, but when I visited, the area was destroyed by flooding. Don’t expect electricity either at most, you’ll get 12 hours a day, even in the more expensive hotels. I also noticed and was warned about glowies in bars,hotels and on the streets, so be cautious about what you say and avoid discussing politics with anyone.Yangon wasn’t great. The traffic is terrible, the smell is bad, and the city feels like a smaller version of an Indian city. I didn’t enjoy it.The country is probably the last unexplored gem in Asia, and when the war ends, it’s going to become a tourist haven. However, with over 140 ethnic groups, many of whom don’t get along, even after the junta is overthrown, there’s likely to be another conflict.On a different note, the women there are some of the most beautiful I’ve seen in Asia. I didn’t coom, which I regret now because I had a few good chances.
>>2749491>The food is the worst I’ve ever eatenI love Chinese food and I love Indian food so I've always had this idea in my mind that the countries between China and India must have some really awesome fusion-like cuisine, sad to hear that isn't the case. All of that sounds like a whole heap of trouble. Too bad, because the temples really do look spectacular, but I completely understand what you mean about them eventually getting boring. I guess I'll wait it out until the war ends and try to get a trip in before it gets flooded by other travelers.
>>2749491>didn’t coom, which I regret now because I had a few good chances.Fucking come on man…
>>2749491Can you drive from Yangon to Naypyidaw? Thinking about hiring a car to do the journey but unsure if it's feasible/worth it. Captcha: TAXIS
I am a frog living in one of the most famous country-museum in the world, tourists come by the millions to admire what my ancestors built, and the French themselves take a certain pride in it. But these buildings are just a set, the hundreds of deeply rooted cultures of France are dead and buried. Today, the men who wander around this vast theatre set are nothing more than citizens of the world, with no connection whatsoever to the culture of their ancestors.I've been to neighbouring countries and it's the same story. I went to Japan, believing I'd found the Grail far from Europe, and the situation was similar, though a little less severe. But that was ten years ago, so it must be much worse now.I'm not just interested in food or monuments built centuries ago, which seems to be the definition of culture today. But culture has to be something that permeates every part of society and, most importantly, culture has to be alive and lived.I need your help anons, I want to go to places where people and their land are one. I want to see cultures that have not yet been corrupted by the modern world. If you've been on such a trip, or have any ideas, I'd love to hear from you.

>>2747269Global homogeneity is creeping across the entire face of the human world, but it hasn't utterly replaced traditional ways of living and behaving. It tends to follow wealth creation, so if you are willing to travel poor, with spending power not much greater than the average citizen, you are far more likely to encounter unique traditions still alive and thriving. Of course, you will also encounter some of the unpleasant aspects of traditional living that the historical romanticists conveniently gloss over as they extol the virtues of life before modernity.>>2747420As an English-speaking third-generation Amerimutt, I cannot lay claim to any part of my European heritage. Doing so would be nothing more than a farce. Yet instead of pining for what I do not have, be it modern wealth or traditional roots, I embrace the liberty of a life unbound.
>>2749184The Breton, Corsican, Basque and Catalan ethnic groups all had very distinct yet profoundly European cultures. I say ‘had’ because I don't see the imitation that we make of them in the festivities as a continuation of their traditions, but rather as a caricature. These four ethnic groups are the most important in terms of population and uniqueness, but there have been many others.
>>2749638>A mans search for meaning is an age old dilemma, which most persons capable of self reflection had to find an answer. For many, it was belonging somewhere. Ancestral memories from times immemorial, shared culture and your very own language. I believe that many of us, have this haunting feeling, of the aforementioned things fading away.This is very true, those who share our feelings suffer deeply.Thank you for sharing your findings with me anon. These countries are much more accessible than Tibet or Bhutan, although obviously more globalised and modern. Bosnia is now top of my list of future destinations!Central Asia seems to be the best preserved place in the world, so that will remain my ultimate goal. Well, it is not the best preserved place in the world for nothing, as it is difficult to get to, but I will go there one day.

I'm not blinded by my love of the old world, I know there were and are many disadvantages to living the traditional way, but it's often just a lack of comfort that man can quickly get used to.>As an English-speaking third-generation Amerimutt, I cannot lay claim to any part of my European heritage.

How crazy would it be to visit India as a solo almost 30 y/o western man without too much travel experience?I'm from the US northeast, I've been around the US and Europe on my own but nothing too crazy / never in really remote places where people don't speak English or I can't use my phone to get out of a bad spot quickly. I want to have a real adventure before family and responsibility makes it impossible to leave again until I'm old and decrepit. Prospective itinerary:>Oct 9-10: arrive in Delhi, sightsee >Oct 11-12: fly to Varanesi, sightsee>Oct 13-16: fly to Dehradun, explore Uttarakhand>Oct 17-20: fly to Srinagar, explore Kashmir>Oct 21-24: fly to Leh, explore Ladakh>Oct 25: go homeUnfortunately my job won't let me take more than two consecutive weeks off. Would this be too overwhelming for a first time in India / Asia or is that all reddit nonsense and an able person would be able to figure it out. Anything to add or slash? Would the weather in the mountains be okay (reading mixed things about whether the Himalayas are really nice in autumn or crazy snowfall early)

i have an autistic obsession with visiting north korea, and i don't think it will ever go away. i know i shouldn't go there and most likely never will yet i still have this obsession. anyone here been? or thought about it too? just something about it is so fascinating to my retarded ass
They might finally open up again this year. Actually going there is quite easy, you just need to sign up for a guided tour with one of the existing companies. I went with Koryo many years ago and had a blast.
>>2747350>if anything goes wrong you're totally fuckedthis is true for any adventure travel desu
>>2747342If you go, I would recommend not stepping a toe out of line and do everything your guide tells you.They will make an example out of you and Trump will have to come save your ass.
I went in 2019 with Uritour, it was a small group of 7 tourists, I think their maximum group size was 12, it was a bit more expensive than alternatives but you stayed at more hotels, so you saved time travel from Pyongyang to wherever we were visiting.If you aren't retarded its safe.You are free to roam inside your hotels but you will never be outside without your 2 guides. You might be afraid of what you can take pictures of but our group was never asked to stop taking pictures and they never looked at what pictures we took.The only event I recall being an issue is that someone was from UAE and had brought a book written in Arabic so he was questioned about the content when we landed at the airport.Ask questions if you have any.>>2747587americans cant visit north korea since 2017 because they cant stop being retarted by stealing shit and spreading religion
>>2747342DPRK is safe to travel to as long as you aren't fucking stupid. Only do officially sanctioned things and express the correct opinions if asked about sensitive matters. If you go off rails at all - proselytizing, stealing propaganda posters, not displaying the right kind of obeisance towards the Kims, that sort of thing - then you invite a world of misery. I understand the attraction. It's one of the most foreign places on the planet if you're Western. I'd like to go and gawk at a totalitarian regime too. You can try enjoying it vicariously. There was a railfan who got a series of trains from Central Europe to Pyongyang years ago and made a blog about it. Every so often, when I think about giving the regime a fortune for a tourist visa, I read his posts. I don't even like trains but this guy's enthusiasm is infectious
Is it worthwhile to make use of these credit card promotions?I've only ever used a debit card, but I'm 25 now and will start to need to build credit and while I was booking I saw this popup.Is there a smart way to make use of these kinds of promotions?
>>2748418>Receive $750you mean $355 since you paid $395 upfront>When you renew next year you receive a $300 travel benefit to spend The renewal is also $395 so all they are doing is giving you back $300 in forced spending lol.>Also you can get free TSA+ & some lounge access worthless compared to what you have to pay early>cash back ratesbarely higher than most fee-free cards, and you have to account for the forced spending you pay in renewal fees
>>2745257>Is there a smart way to make use of these kinds of promotions?The best way is to look for hidden fees and gotcha's.The best cards often have high yearly fee's to keep the account open unless you spend some enormous amounts of cash. Keep in mind that not all purchases treat payments equally, things like utilities/rent/etc can throw on 2-5% extra fee meaning you're bleeding money.They are fine so long as you're willing to put EVERY PURCHASE on the card and pay it off in full at the end of the year. Then it also assumes you are getting the best deal on points through their market place, which is a 50/50 at best. My company allows us to spend our AMEX points as a nice gesture, but anywhere I want to use the points I am looking at mark ups that make the points near useless. If it were my personal card I'd save more money often by spending wisely vs spending points.The best use of points is just to keep an airline status, which can be done free with mile programs, and hope for the best free upgrades.Also these cards often have shit exchange rates compared to other types of services.
>>2748508It's not a forever card. But it is one that works extremely well for traveling. If you use TSA+ it essentially is free per year so you pocket the $355, but if you don't then after three year's of having it you need to cancel it. The travel credit works just fine.
>>2745257Since this is /trv/, I will admit this was my secret. Only tell your friends in real life, don't let this spread too far. I've been able to travel the world since getting out of college with a 20k a year job. No one understood how, this is how. I'm talking ~20k in flights and hotels over the last decade in Vietnam, Thailand, Turkey, Bulgaria, India, Colombia, France, NYC, SF, New Orleans, etc etcBut seriously, the less people get the huge bonuses, the bigger they are. Should have been around for the 100k Chase bonuses or Southwest's Companion Pass (2 for 1 tickets through points). So learn and shut your mouth. It will make you laugh how many friends/family you tell this hack* to and they won't do anything with that knowledge kek>*(not really since most people are unable to spend within their means, CC companies are making boatloads of cash)>>2748542cancel after bonus, credit score deduction is negligible >>2748508wahhhh ONLY $355. You get the travel credit first year too actually, so 655$. That can get you a roundtrip to many fun destinations. After this bonus, guess what, you get another card (ONLY 500$ more dollars, not even worth it)! >>2748472you can transfer points to specific airlines to get more value out of the Chase/AMEX, CO at times. Sometimes not worth the effort.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

My wife filled out what she knew using the online form filler, left the rest blank. I went and printed everything and I'm filling out spots left blank, she left my parents information blank so I filled out mother then father because it didn't specify an order. Looked over it, and SHE checked the male female boxes- with male first. What do I do besides get everything re-printed? I keeo reading that they don't care of you strike something and rewrite it but what about boxes? Do I just strikethrough and heavily X the correct sex? I just know she's going to call me a retard for not fully reading the form to see what she checked.
>>2749689IT WAS AN ACCIDENT. I really don't want to reprint everything but I don't want to pay and resubmit everything
Why not leave it as is. And if they question you about it, accuse them of oppressive transphobia - or trans genocide even.
>>2749632If they don't care about strikethroughs they probably don't care about witeoutBut why not just fill it out correctly and print it again? Also it looks like using the form filler for part of it and handwriting the rest isn't allowed to begin with
>>2749780I read that partial hand partial form filler was ok, whiteout was not, printing is done in cash i never carry cash and it becomes a fucking drag to go get cash broken down into small increments then the rest of the slog.

>>2749173You can also be happy with your life and stay home too. My dad always thought he wanted to travel but now that retirement is within reach he decided he's content to stay at home. Good for him.
>>2747482Yeah I feel the same way. I booked a month in Europe because I felt like I was wasting my life and I needed to get out of my comfort zone, then I spent the next few months getting gradually more anxious about it. It's happened before previously and I enjoy my time there for the most part, but the lead up to it is so fucking stressful.
>>2749242It's normal to be anxious about it but it also builds your confidence for other things you could be anxious about in your life.
>>2749242I don't think about a trip much beforehand. The only advance planning necessary IMO is the first two nights' stay after leaving the airport. Keep the mind clear of hypotheticals and ready to tackle present challenges as they arise. Of course, not being stuck in the wagecage mentality having to check off a whole list of "vacation" tasks eliminates a lot of the stress. If I'm still chilling out 1 km from the airport a week after arrival, whoop de doo. I'll get a move on when I damn well feel like it.
>>2747484Fuck, i did this.>>2748857Ah, the same reason i did thisI think i can get around pre-travel regret if i just forget what im doing, then a month before its time i start to hype myself up and research things to do.
Any Australian’s fled? If I can’t afford a house, I don’t see the point in being here. But on the other hand, our healthcare is decent and on a global level, I can make decent money here (despite being a rent cuck).Perhaps the grass is always greener, but I’d like some alternatives.
>>2740372I'm currently searching for paid work in Austria. I will never look back. For me it's not so much about the cost of living and shit but the Australian way of life, mindset and just general lack of soul. There is a bit of that grass is greener but it's also just a general fact that sometimes another country is better suited for who you are as a person. Australia was never for me and even when I was a kid, the moment I learnt I could leave home as an adult I wanted to live abroad.

travel tips for working anonsnot budget tips, but some tips to make the most out of your paid time offsthis is with european laws in mind so your mileage may vary>ask chat gpt ideal ranges to take leave dor the calendar year of 2025, and exclude December 2025, to see which dates provide the best bang for your buck. for example, in my cunt, taking leave from, say, april 15 to may 11 is the best period as you save 4 days on national holidays>try to fly back on a monday, and take until last friday. take a sick day that monday, you've been sick for 1-3 days since you arrived, who could have known?now here is a spicy one>inform your team and manager of your trip as early as you can, ask for their approval etc, but dont lodge it in the system. just keep bringing it up once every week when there's a month left, and when its time, set your mail to OoO, Teams etc to Away and wish everyone wellthere is a 90% chance this will work and noone will ask any questions if you dont max out your vacations everyday and/or have been working there for some time. you just had some days lying around, if you decide to keep taking 2 week holidays once every 6 months or so. moderation is key ofcany other white collar tips anons?
>>2748751as someone who has been royally fucked by taking a long vacation, I recommend checking in on your emails every few days while you're abroad if you're going to be gone for three our four weeks. It doesn't cost you anything since you have your OOO up, and it makes your boss think that you actually care (if you respond to some simple emails etc). Basically at one point I took a trip and people were lying about me behind my back when I was gone, and when I returned I got screamed at by a boss for "taking such a long trip" even though it was fully within my rights, and nothing had gone wrong work wise... Another tip, do not tell people who don't need to know that you will be gone. People are jealous cunts and you don't want that bad energy sneaking around in the back of the office. If anything, just lie and say you have a funeral or wedding to go to. Definitely don't say you're going on some amazing trip
