As a born and raised white guy from the US, I can assure you that the post you responded to is authentic and I vouch for it. Additionally, y’all are butthurt as hell which is even funnier. Thanks for staying in USA while I creampie cutie Filipinas and you prop up the post-wall roastie rot that is American (((culture))) and consumerism.

You keep the pain, I’ll keep the gains. Also, you guys are massive faggots, but we need you to stay behind so thanks in advance.

The gayest part of this entire post was that you were in an exotic place like Taiwan and you had to go watch Jaquandrius catch the ball for 1 hour and more money than you will make in your life like some roomtemp IQ fuckin facebook boomer.

Somehow memoryholed this and booked a place without a property washer/dryer room so stuck now with all my clothes air drying from a dogshit washer. I don't fucking understand why the fuck it's so hard to do your own laundry here, it's not about the cash I just don't want random people cleaning my shit in questionable conditions or with who knows what kind of 'soap'. Am I missing something here?

I just stand in front of them and when they try to move the bike around me I go walk in front of them again. We have a little standoff and they cry in their mudbabble, but they don't get physical because I'm 6' 200lbs and they are...not

I point to the road and they dejectedly wheel their shitty little scooter where it belongs, and the guys behind them do the same thing when they realize I'm going to body block them also.

I've had shitheads try to go 'through' me on their bike, but I knock them over.

Besides beating up stinkjeets in thailand, this is one of my favorite "pvp" pastimes since the sidewalk cyclists area always in the wrong and can never go to the police over it.

I haven't. How many normies go to Taiwan? It's still profoundly different than the US. Arguing that's some average travel experience like going to Mexico or the UK is completely fucking retarded and elitist.

I'm American. It's a deep flaw in our culture. Regardless, the BBC worship is a world wide phenomenon. If you're a eurocuck, you have no room to talk with your rampant raperat important and Ngubu worship.

Taiwan is more average than Mexico. There's nothing particularly remarkable about Taiwan. The people are colorless and closed-off for the most part. OTOH, Mexico has Wild West anarchy zones barely a few hours drive from the US border. Mexico also has a much greater variety of food.

>>2834344
>I haven't. How many normies go to Taiwan? It's still profoundly different than the US
I am from the USA but live in Asia bouncing around countries, sometimes I just want to sit my ass down and watch some sports. I'm not on a 2-week ticking time clock to run back to the wage cage and work for another year straight.

>>2834344
>I haven't. How many normies go to Taiwan?
All of them. People who are too afraid to go to China but want to see "real China" go to Taiwan. Then they get to post on social media about how badass they are for sticking it to Winnie the Pooh or whatever dumb shit normies say.

Having been, Taiwan feels somewhere between America and Japan. It's fine. Nothing special.

Taiwan is just a cleaner more walkable Korea with slightly better food variations.

Fucking hate Seoul's turn the street and this thing now has a 25% incline, oh btw the sidewalk is all smooth and it's raining lol enjoy.

>>2834433
I flew Taipei to San Francisco, and the only culture shock was the extreme diversity of ethnicities and phenotypes in the Bay Area as opposed to Taiwan's ethnic uniformity. California also felt a lot less safe, with all kinds of colorful characters wandering loose and sometimes yelling at random. People watching in Berkeley is much more interesting than people watching in Hualien.

The nature in Taiwan is awesome and so accessible to a pedestrian, especially for the east coast cities, but when you are eating crap restaurant food and drinking beer every day, it's tough to enjoy the steepness of the mountain trails. The persistent dampness in the north is annoying as well. Your shoes get wet from the wet pavements, and because it's too cold to run the A/C, nothing dries out in your room. Chiang Mai's 37 C sunshine was more agreeable to me.

>>2832235
>No America would “other” another American
Completely wrong. Americans hate each other and routinely through each other under the bus for whatever minor gain they can get at the time.

A Chinese Malaysian alcoholic degenerate who managed a hotel for his family in Kuala Lumpur gave me a straw half filled with pure ketamine. We shared the same name, but our personalities were completely different. His Mongolian girlfriend was a complete bitch. After their friend flew in from Saudi Arabia, we all got drunk and then the Type C guy passed out in the Saudi guy's bed. At the same time, a friend of the Mongolian girl came over with a story about how she had a fight with her husband and he threw her out of their home. The Mongolian girl invited her to sleep in their bed, and told the Saudi guy to sleep with the Chinese guy. He insisted that he was not going to sleep in the same bed as another man. Eventually dawn broke, and I went out with the Saudi guy to get a breakfast. He went to an ultracheap breakfast cart and they gave him butter kaya toast and a runny ass egg. He didn't like the food, but the price was like RM 5 and the tea was RM 3 or so. I retreated up to my fourth floor room with a view to get zooted on ketamine in peaceful isolation. Spatial transcendence on the final bump (the last of 4) was an elating experience, but the comedown was hard and I never quite got over my disappointment at returning to the mundane activities of daily life in a busily indifferent city.

Nothing ever happens.

Things like that happen from a typo and autocorrect, "retard"

I was a Seabee in the navy. We went on a “hearts and minds” mission to some random ass village In Thailand. We were tasked with building a new schoolhouse/orphanage. Weird set up, the kids that had family would go home at the end of the day and the kids that didn’t stayed at the school. Anyway, it was two story CMU block style with a tile roof. I was senior enlisted and our officer was a mustanger who loved to party and gave zero fucks. We got that building done hot quick, a month ahead of schedule. So, then we gotta sit around and find shit to do because the plane ain’t leaving till the plane is leaving. So one of our guys who was kinda autistic and seemed to learn the Thai language in less than 3 weeks talked to some farmer. Apparently there was a downed radio tower in the jungle out back and we were all “fuck yeah, steel” and we hacked through the jungle with machetes with our biggest dudes carrying oxy acetylene tanks and torches. We cut this thing up into pieces and drag it out. You gotta understand, these kids didn’t have shit. They kicked trees and played with a blown out soccer ball for fun. So, we get all this steel out the jungle and take a hot wrench to it and put it all back together in the for of playground equipment. Jungle gym, see saw, swing set, the whole nine yards. I had to teach a kid how to use a swing and do the leg pump thing. They threw a huge party before we left where each one of us got a bottle of thai whiskey at our place setting, the song nam or sing song, something like that I can’t remember. I got wasted and at least half the Thai school teachers fucked some our guys that night. I just ended up getting shit faced with the mayor lol.

>>2835445
That's based as hell. Fair play. All kids should be put into shit like this upon finishing school.
Actual work which benefits everybody all around.

>>2835384

>>2832654

>>2834221
i've pushed a few motorbikes when they stopped in front of me while i was crossing the road. it turned out to be a bad idea and less hassle to just walk around them. people didn't like it.

>>2835454
Just a few more anecdotes from that deployment.

We worked with the Thai marines as a joint venture. They couldn’t afford or couldn’t get oxy acetylene so instead to cut steel they’d crank their little tombstone stick welders up to 11 and BWAAAAAAAAH right through the steel. In flip flops with the most ghetto “welding masks” you could think of.

We didn’t have a shower set up for us when we showed up. They had jury rigged two toilets and that was it. So, we made an A-frame shower out of a piece of 1” pipe with a bunch of holes drilled in it and did showers gang style, out in the open under gods starry twilight. Thing was we only had a single tarp for privacy and multiple times we caught the Thai school teachers perving on us from around the corners of the building.

We pretty much had a ritual at sunset. We had this kid, he had a bike with a shopping cart/side car thing welded to the side. First day there we all chip in and give him like 3000 baht. Kids eyes about exploded out of his skull and he took off like lance armstrong. Comes back and his little sidecar thing is stacked with flats of ice encrusted beer Chang. We had two coolers from that night on, one for beer one for bottled water. LT had a padlock on the beer cooler and come quitting time the kid would roll up with his flats like fucking clockwork. LT would unlock the cooler, we’d replenish the stock, drink our fill and when LT said it was bedtime the lock would go back on. Pretty fun to race to get drunk in 4 hours.

You're such a fucking loser. Travel is wasted on you.

Stop being so dramatic. Traffic is a normal part of life in that part of the world. People intuitively perceive how others are going to react, so they can cut very close to each other without danger.

Have you tried hostelfagging if you're so lonely and in need of company?

You can't think yourself superior to and different from the normiecattle tourists around you, and also expect them to be friendly to you. That's not how humans work. When people encounter a guy who is cold and aloof, with a lifeless facial expression and a sagging low-energy posture, they treat him like the undesirable reject that he is.

You need to work on creating a more dignified persona. Put some tension into your facial muscles, put some grace in your step, put some rigidity in your posture. Stop masturbating on a regular basis. Pay more attention to the small details of your surroundings. Take photos. It helps pull your focus away from the self-absorption that is entrapping you as you encounter the isolating reality of solo travel.

Met this guy Jake in the North of Thailand. He was a recovering heroin addict whose parents sent him there to be part of some Buddhist rehab retreat. Before going, he decides to enjoy one more night of debauchery, and have some drinks. Somehow, the Buddhists found this out and kicked him out of the program because it was part of their stipulation that you had to be 30 days sober prior to the retreat. So now he's stuck in Thailand for a couple months bumming around. I met him in a bar a couple days after this went down. We bonded over our mutual anger towards this bar girl who had taken advantage of us both (we were both young and naive). I continue to see him around town for a couple days, and we get along well.

One night we decide to pop some xanax and go out drinking. Yeah. At some point during this night we decide it's a great idea to take revenge on this bar chick. We end up breaking into her apartment and vandalizing it. The rest of the night is pretty much a blur. The next morning, extremely hungover, we're woken up at our inn from the owner banging on our doors and telling us we need to get the fuck out. We had been seen or recorded (can't remember) breaking and entering, the cops had been called and were on their way to the inn to talk to us. Not wanting to deal with the consequences of our actions, we grab our shit, book it the fuck out, get to a bus station and hop on the first bus to Bangkok.

At some point during all of this, Jake's bank card gets eaten by an ATM, and without any access to cash, he transfers his money to me to handle for him, and so from this point on we're joined at the hip. Typical Bangkok shenanigans ensue, lots of partying, drinking, waking up in strange places. It was some of the best fun of my life and we became huge friends.

One night while getting a message, Jake has his phone pickpocketed. Classic distraction technique. He's pissed. Having learned nothing from before, he wants revenge again. He thinks he remembers the woman who pickpocketed him, and goes back the next night to get a massage in the same place. This time, he pickpockets her and grabs whatever he can. It's a key. We assume it's to her apartment, but we don't know where that is. So we ask around at neighbouring businesses if anyone knows this thief, but nobody is willing to talk to us.

Eventually, one chick very quietly gives us her phone number and tells us to go. She texts us later that it's dangerous to talk, because people are listening. Apparently this thief is pretty well known and connected, and if this chick is found to be talking she could lose her job. But she tells us to meet her in this alley, and then instructs us to follow her, but at a good distance, so it doesn't look like we're together, and she'll point out the apartment building we're looking for. So we get the location, come back at night, and Jake goes in while I stand guard outside. I'm thinking he's gonna get stabbed or something, but whatever, I'm in too deep at this point.

What feels like an eternity later, he comes out dragging this woman, and we take her all the way to the police station. At this point I leave to go to sleep. I'm not sure what, if anything, came out of that (a report was made but we weren't aware of the corruption or just lack of caring in the police force). Jake did not get his phone back, and we ended up finding him a bootleg iPhone in Chinatown. So it was pretty inconsequential in the end, but was pretty fun feeling like we were busting some black market ring. I sometimes wonder if we could have gotten involved farther, but we had been threatened a few times while tracking her down so it probably wasn't worth it.

A week or two goes by, and I need to leave the country because my visa is expiring. I decide to go to Cambodia because it seems the easiest border to get to and cross. Jake joins me because I still have access to a lot of his money. We have a fun couple nights in some border town making friends with locals, then cross the border, and catch a ride to Siem Reap in the back of a pickup truck, because we're larping as adventurers and a bus is too pedestrian. Now, dragging a recovering heroin addict with me to Cambodia in retrospect was a pretty bad idea. I don't think either of us knew how common drugs were there. Long story short, he ended up relapsing. I regret this a lot, but I was young, drunk, tripping on acid, and didn't really know better. More drinking and partying ensued, but Jake was spending long nights out getting high on H and we were starting to drift apart. Eventually, I had to leave SEA and go back home. I withdrew the rest of his money for him, and we parted ways there.

We kept in touch for awhile and he stayed in SEA for a couple years, getting jobs at hostels around different countries. I think he was on and off the drugs but seemed to be in a pretty good space. We fell out of touch eventually though, but I kept checking in on him. Until I started to see his profiles hadn't been updated in awhile. I shoot him a message, no response. Bad feeling in my gut. I do some digging, and find out he's dead. He came home to NYC, couldn't find a job, got back into heroin again, and then I don't know what, but he was dead. Assuming an overdose. Shit still eats at me a little. There were a couple weeks in Thailand where we were pretty much spending every waking hour together, just two kids lost, fucked up, and on some strange trip in an unfamiliar place. It was only a few weeks, but being in that position we had become so close and it stung like hell to find out he was gone. Anyway yeah uh thanks for reading my blog I guess.

Oh, also forgot to mention that during all this the King died, so this all took place during that craziness. Was a really surreal time to be in Thailand. For the first couple weeks, public entertainment was banned meaning bars weren't allowed to operate. But the bars couldn't afford to lose their livelihoods, so what that really meant was they operated on the downlow. They were all boarded up, but if you knew people you could sneak in through some back door and still get served. But lights were off, music was off, everybody had to be quiet. A couple times a night, the military would patrol through the streets making sure everything was closed, so you had to whisper and not tell a soul you didn't trust about the places that were open. Was a hell of a thing.

Exactly the kind of low-inhib foreigners I wouldn't touch with a ten meter pole in Southeast Asia. Your kind are nothing but trouble.
