>>2889432Consider walking your ass outside and searching for what you need on the streets instead of hunching over your screen to ask redditmommy for help every time you don't know something. Embrace the unpredictability of life; you can't have every single step of your journey planned out in advance.Hot prepared meat is expensive everywhere in the world. China possibly the only exception. You can't stuff yourself with unlimited sausages at the breakfast line when you are paying some stingy Agoda booking rate for the room. And lastly, online check-in is for carry-on Chads. The robot bag checkers suck. I was at KUL airport when the entire IT system went down and we all had to mill around for half an hour until the jeets got it working again.
Not being able to buy basic products >in Georgia they dont sell ziploc bags etcThats just an annoyance the worst is clothes>90% of the world i cant buy a hat that fits>japan, mens underwear tops out size medium>cant find shoes that fit anywhere in south east or east asia except Kuala Lumpur >Fly to KL to get shoes, go to Decathlon for shirts snd shorts largest size is medium, i need XL
>>2889468Holy retard postAnon most the year I travel, so some goods I can't get in X country easily. Like oh my shoes need replacement where are size 13 US, or huh can't find allergy med, pain killer, sleep aid, or random one off things. Japan has weird medicine laws where you have to ask for very specific brand for anyone to help youTrying to find non -overpriced hiking boots that aren't aliexpress knockoffs in SEA can need second opinionsDecent place to buy a replacement phone for lost/broken one and don't want the "u must buy service as well sirs,,, or pay 3x MSRP"In Europe I might need a gym or buy whey at a price that doesn't fuck me over as a tourist These are things you're best looking up first and asking, not "uhh where I get mcdonalds?!?!" These are basic things in America you can just walk into anywhere and get but Asia(especially) countries go sideways on it.>Hot prepared meat is expensive everywhere in the world. China possibly the only exception.Which is why I usually select the breakfast option or look up the amentites, some hotels just stopped at covid and still yet to update. Also no it isn't unless you're a poorfag traveler, spending 30/night in SEA that isn't downtown usually will have breakfast.>And lastly, online check-in is for carry-on Chads.Fly british airways, Air China, HK airways, Finnair, United, AirAsia, etc. Even if I select the bags paid, or sometimes do just carry on+personal(which I can do now after downsizing) the machine will act random dice roll to tell me to go to the counter.Man this board really is a "I am a real traveler, go to SEA for me holiday once a year HAHAH!">>2889474Yeah ziplock bags, rubber bands, scissors that aren't for thread, etc etc
>boner pills are ILLEGAL if you don't have a prescription and you can go to jail for taking them through the airport
>>2889432>Airlines making you check your carry-on at the gate because they let too many people bring too many items in the cabin.
>>2889483>allergy med, pain killer, sleep aid, or random one off thinGo without it boomer pussy
>>2889496If you have mental hangups about having a boner you should go extinct instead of having sex
>>2889505Gate check is great. Easily abused way of skipping baggage fees. Gate agents are trained ALWAYS accept gate checked bags, so as long as it can get through TSA you should always just bring your checked luggage through and gate check it.Plus you get it at the jetbridge on the way out not on the carousel. No waiting with the other goys who all paid $60 to sit around the airport an extra hour.>>2889530>>2889468>>2889432Medicine is legitimately a headache though. The pinnacle of “rules for thee but not for me” third worldism and the most impenetrable little cabal inexplicably propped up by entire societies.Getting anti malarials in Africa without an NGO is almost impossible. The run arounds are infuriating.>oh you can get malarone only in the capitalTake bus to capital>who told you we had malarone, oh you just came from x? They’ll definitively have itI had a hostel owner who I KNEW had a cache left over from tourists who left their excess (these retards I guess didn’t know you have to keep taking it) but just would not part with it. Wouldn’t even acknowledge he had it. They say go the pharmacy, oh the pharmacy doesn’t have it try this other one, oh they don’t have it well you should have told me my friend had some but he gave it away…its almost like a conspiracy. The most organization I have ever seen from Mozambicans is in gate keeping anti malarials for no apparent benefit or reason.
>>2889530Anon, Asia can suck hard balls post monsoon season bloom if you don't have some blocker for a week. Sure probably not an issue if you're digital nomad, only go out for poon and food for 2hrs, but if you like to do events hosted outside or sight see you can be in hell. For content>book seat>airline calls me up to the counter before boarding>seat changed because random brown family has to sit together>"upgraded" to arguably worse seat
>>2889432I hate them so much, I only travel to places that they don't exist.
>no alcohol sales on sunday>Alcohol can not be sold before noon>Alcohol is not sold on random holidayWorst:>go to country>wonder if it's more cash or card based>Anon everyone users card who uses cash lol!>go to some random place>SORRY SIRS CASH ONLY!!!1FUCK THAT
Getting change.
>>2889474>ziploc bagsLiteral sturggle to find them in most parts of the world...if I do I keep a roll in my bag.>>2889468>China possibly the only exceptionAdulterated foods are disgusting, I refuse to visit mainland because I dont eat garbage as Im not Chinese or Indian.Why do you like eating shit?
>>2889699The little druggie bags are perfect for all the SIM cards you collect along the way.>adulterated foodsOkay then, enjoy your raw haunch with a side of guts and a glass of warm blood for dinner. The rest of us will continue "adulterating" our foods with heat, oil, spices, MSG, sugar, salt, and all that good stuff.
>laundry on site>no machine to break bills>front desk doesn't have change for some reason>go to 711 or whatever to break a bill>try to ask for change back to use for laundry>dude straight up doesn't understand
>>2889747>doesn't have changeIt's strange how all around the world, cash shortage has suddenly become a thing. Is it because everyone for their own safety deposits cash as quickly as they can and never withdraws any cash at the teller window for making change? The only injections of cash into the economy come from ATMs, which always insist on spitting out the largest denominations of currency.
>>2889468>Consider walking your ass outside and searching for what you need on the streets instead of hunching over your screen to ask redditmommy for help every time you don't know something."why yes I do only go to one country for my RealTraveler(tm) experience how did you know!"Japan's available medicine is complete shit, though finally becoming less shit, for many basic things like sleep aid, actual vitamins for recovery, sinus medication, Neosporin, etc is all basically snake oil alternatives of "natural herbs" and shit that do jack shit.Taiwan you more or less have to know the specific brand/label/count of the thing you want or everyone at cosmed/watsons/pharmacy basically 404's even if you have a photo up.Korea is just complete insanity, I lived a bit in Gangnam, could walk into somewhere asking for Tylenol 50c, Centrum multivitamin, cough medicine because wind decided to dumb the China yellow on you again. NOPE! NO SELL TO FOREIGNER! walk down the street technically in another city by 1 street YES SIR RIGHT AWAY SIR AND FREE GIFT!Philippines, half the time I don't think the people working at watsons are smart enough to understand my questions when I present the exact shopping cart of items to them.Norway and Sweden have the most backward ass ways of getting basic shit. Oh I need some antihistamine pills so the insane mosquito bites I got stop itching? enjoy playing where will actually sell it OTC that isn't 30 USD and 5mg pills in a 10 pill box.Don't even get me started on trying to get winter clothes in SEA when I want to go to Japan for some snow in winter.
