Is thailand a good place to move to with 15k in savings? Any accomodation recommendations? I live in hell and must move.
>don't drink alcohol>don't smoke cigs or weed>don't take psychadelics of any kind>not interested in losing my virginity with a prostituteWhat can I do in thailand?
>>2631419She was doing you a favor. That shit has so much sweetener in it it's undrinkable unless ice cold.
where do I go to fuck white women here? I have money and will be staying in a 5 star hotel so I don't want to compete with hostel chads
>>2631976Glad to hear that >>2632190Watch YouTube videos about it lmao >>2632199You’re in the wrong country
>>2628834>Be Anon>Anon sit down and order a food.>There are gagillion food on the menu.>He chose an oily food.>Anon then complained that the food is unhealthy.Thai vendors are called "food on order," which means you can order the vendor or the cook to use pig fat oil and not put MSG, or sugar, into your food. If you are so autistic about seed oil, carbs, or any healthy things, you can buy a cheap Thai brand of air fryer and buy only certified organic veggies at a Lotus or Big C mall. And those are still a lot cheaper than US farm products.>>2632189You can watch honest reviews from channels like Small Brained American; basically, avoid deep-fried vendors. Though I think Springroll vendors are quite safe,.
Looking for tips.I'm from Wyoming, US, and I want to go to Russia and see how their things are. I speak English, obviously, and I can speak/read Russian at a childish level.I want to go to Russia and look around. See how they do it. Not planning on moving there, I've saved up enough money to go there and back, but I've never been on a trip like this so I'm looking for advice.Where to? Moscow? St. Petersburg? Somewhere else?I want to spend a few weeks, maybe a few months there. No specific goals. Things are already in motion, it's happening soon.Anything in particular I should know? Never traveled internationally before. Never traveled internationally before. I went to Canada on accident one time, but that's it.
>>2632010When I was in Beijing about 10 years ago, I met a Russian man who said they speak basically 0 English in rural Siberia.
>>2632014>>2630213>>2629819>>262982177 posts and 13 users. After OP, most of the posts seem to come from a shrieking Pole unsurprisingly. Go to /r/askarussian where it's not as easy for one person to shit up a whole thread.
>>2632092>Don't like russia/russians? heh...you must be Polish...russia is in a tie with israel as the most hated country in the world
>>2632206The Onions being emotionally manipulated into hating something (outside the Belt, where it may be more genuine) is a stamp of approval.
>>2632206No one would be bringing up literature from literal who Polish journalists and comparing the Russian economy to the Polish economy except a Pole.Try harder next time Andrzej.
Even if it wasn't 120 degrees with the humidity, I'd still be annoyed with the shit behavior of these people.
>>2631891Nope, you're surrounded by trash, but America bad, right comrade.
>>2631849>>2631862Why do autistic, neckbeard Thaiboos feel the need to correct every single little thing about their scammy tourist trap of a country? And they sound so proud while they do it too. Nobody gives a fuck Timmothy, you're not even a proper long-term resident of Thailand, and you've probably never had a single visa that was longer than 60 days maximum at best.
>>2632149>jumps immediately to coping about Americarent free, glowie
Why can't Chinese people function in grocery stores? I've noticed it's generally the older folks and the younger changs understand personal space and social norms. But these older Chinese my GOD they send me into a rage. Block the whole fucking isle. Walk and then just STOP, zero fucking awareness of who or what is around them. Ohh I'm just an old lady tee hee silly me I don't know what's going on!!! And then they sneakily try and push in the queue KNOWING EXACTLY what they're doing. What the fuck is wrong with them? Are they racist? Do they act like this in China? They are so fucking rude!
>>2632204Yeah it’s infuriating. Especially at airports. They’ll block the walking escalator so no one can pass them. Also have experience them trying to cut in line as well. It’s not just Chinese but boomer behavior on these trips are also infuriating. Clueless boomers holding up plane boarding because they can’t fit their overlarge carry on in the overhead bins. Also when people try to cut in front of people as everyone is unboarding the plane makes me seethe. Retard families who put their kids in the wrong seat and act surprised when confronted.
Anyone else do this? Just booked a month long trip and I'm already thinking about the next trip I'm going to take after that. Feels like I can't stay in the moment and am always looking forward to the next trip, as if the planning process is part of the fun
>>2632203good for you. i struggle at the planning part
So I was thinking on visiting Taiwan later this year, I'm researching but to be honest apart from Taipei I'm struggling to find anything interesting.It looks a bit soulless, which it shouldn't, but that's the feeling I'm getting.For the record I've already been to some other SEA countries (Thailand, Cambodia and Myanmar) and to Japan. Those countries seem much more appealing to me.Maybe I'm just and idiot, but I'd like to know your thoughts and experiences of the country.
>>2632131If you live in Taipei you can make a day trip out of basically anywhere on the island. It's really not that big.
>>2632059anybody ride scooters in taiwan? am visiting Taipei, Taichung, Chiayi, Tainan and Kaohsiung. Is it safe to use scooters in those cities? i will have an IDP license
Def need a scooter in Tainan and KS. Boring city otherwise. Taipei you can get by without one.
I'm looking to do a daytrip to Beitoujiao trail , then Jufen and Shifen. Is this feasible in one day? what is the best combination of busses or trains to i take? want to leave from taipei early like 6am
>>2632059Objectively, it's a good destination because it's probably 85% as nice as Japan but twice as affordable. I can see how if you've spent time in Japan/Korea then many of Taiwan's charms would be dulled. The neomodern kitsch on display everywhere (in Tainan in particular) might fall flat. But it's worth appreciating the island for what it is, not in comparison to somewhere else. Personally, I'm an incurable Sinaboo, and found delights around every corner. I don't think you could call it 'soulless' by any reasonable standard.What makes it stand out for me is the outdoor opportunities; I've never had my ass kicked so hard by a hike or felt so isolated in pristine nature; hard to believe anywhere in east Asia still has that feeling. Top-tier snorkeling, too.>>2632131Honestly you couldn't do better than a comfy neighborhood of Taipei. I also fell in love with a little town called Yuli on the eastern side. Idyllic location with a good cat cafe.>>2632173You can rent them in most cities. I think I read in the big western cities they want to see a motorbike endorsement on your IDP but other places no one cares. Driving a scooter up Taroku was probably in my top 3 travel experiences ever.
>passport bros saturating any decent location>social media basically bringing in hordes of normies and zombies into any tourist location>westernization at rapid pace>overall inflation>brutal competition with concepts like looksmaxxing and geomaxxing going mainstream>foreigner fatigueFuture doesn't look bright bros. What keeps you all motivated to travel?
>>2629202He could just show his asshole to gay men and insert stuff into it and make 40k a year
Talking to women is stupid. Datinfg them is stupid. Going around countries to simp is very stupid. You have to treat them as callously as the locals do and have some street smarts, god forbid. Asian simps are their own brand of stupid but at least they save face, right? Barf. Let's all just go to Korean since it's trending. Please stay in your containment zones. It's not that bad.
>>2624271>Every year more browns>Every year less whitesWhat competition?
>>2629181>What is some good copes besides travelling?Killing yourself since you want to be a whiny blackpilled faggot.
>>2628132where in Germany did you go?
Discuss everything related to Philippines travel here
>>2632078No they can't. They have no natural resources and no capability generate cheap electricity, which means no manufacturing either. These people are doomed.
>>2632093Japan didn't either. I believe in the Filipino Juche
going to bali soon with three pinay chicksdidn't wanna make a new thread butwe're there for 11 days, and my main chick thinks it'd be a good idea to switch airbnb half way through to "see more things"but it's bali lmao, and then we're going to have to lug our shit through the city and do they check in dance again. I'm thinking we just stay at a nice villa and do day tripsotherwise, we could stay 7 nights at an airbnb and three at a hotel or something.any thoughts?
>>2632162You could’ve brought them to Boracay for much cheaper
>>2632162Have they left the country before successfully? I take it you're fully aware of the 'offloading of pinay' risk?, if not, read up on it, and as the other anon said, go to Boracay.
How do young people travel constantly? Some of them aren't from a rich family so how?
>>2629979>and now I'm not sure I want it anymoreYou mean now you're old and used up so nobody worth a damn wants you.
>>2619921I'm an accountant making $80k working fully remotely, I can technically take as many days off as I want as long as I reach a pretty reasonable number of billable hours for the year (1400). Once I get my CPA it should be decent bump in salary and open more options if I want to actually move to a different cunt full time instead of bouncing around for a couple months at a time and not telling my employer
>>2629999Your wishful thinking won't make you feel better little one
>>2620613>$6720 a yearnice going anon,I make around $1200 per every five months ;_;.........
>>2619913>24>live at home without the need to pay rent>never went to college so no student debt>few friends and no girlfriend so no reccuring social expenses>job instantly grants any of my leave of absence requests without questionlife is decent. i've been in SEA for the past few weeks and have a ton of other plans for this year.

If the baby screams I scream, simple as.Why is it okay for a small human to scream but not a big one? Everybody else will just have to put up with it if I feel like screaming.

If i wanna travel to Usa & dont wanna go to the basic New york, Miami or LA what city you would recommend?City needs to have both NFL and NBA teams.
>>2631842Phoenix
Going to US for the cities is like going to Japan for the beaches
>>2631842DC
>>2631911I would say Chicago for late summer as someone who lived there; the beaches, the river, the parks are all beautiful and it’s great weather along with a great music scene. Underrated areas are Northerly Island Park, Free 4th floor deck at Willis Tower, Chicago Botanical Garden (outside the city), and the free yoga at Navy Pier on Tuesdays and fireworks on Saturdays Fall; go to Boston can get a day trip and watch the leaves turn, plus much more history
>>2631842DC is a pretty cool city to visit. >Good food scene>Decent nightlife if you're into that >Lots of neat museums that are (mostly) free. Smithsonian museums are all free and you can easily eat up a couple days on just those. Spy Museum costs money but still worth a visit. Just avoid the green line on the metro (subway) at night and you'll be fine.
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.
>>2629060flushing is awesome, i used to live there. maybe i'm biased cause i'm chinese.. yes, it's crowded and gross but it's also homey. >>2631718a cheap eat could be chungmoo, it's a small korean restaurant.
>>2631967How would a white boy be treated if he moved there?
>>2629089its actually chinese
theres a lot of new condos buildings going up around Flushing still. It seems to be getting more densely populated
>>2632185I’ve seen people that are worried it’s being gentrified by rich Chinese nationals. A lot of rich people in China are scared of getting prosecuted by the CCP and so they get real estate in other countries as a place to store their money and a getaway.It’s a huge problem in Canada.
Give it to me straight /trv/, wait till I am a 30 with declining looks with an even more jaded outlook on life and complete globohomo or go in my 20s with zero money but with zero life experience and potential of arrested development and stunted career prospects?
>>2632179or be me, live at home, wait until 40, have 7 digits net worth, finally get a first gf and go on weeks long international sexcations with her
>>2632179lost interest halfway through that torturous sentence
>>263217933 year old hair transplant recipient here.Your looks aren’t really in jeopardy at 30 unless you’re significantly balding (and do nothing about it), are a fat sack of shit, and/or you eat goyslop constantly and let the sun cook you alive. However>jaded and globohomo That is realistic>stunted career prospectsTravel first then go to college, and I mean do it for at least 1-2 years. By that time you should be good to go. Your career prospects are only stunted if you’re doing something like international financeI’ve never had a career so idgaf about fucking off for a year at a time
Post tips, destinations, and travel ideas for low energy travelers who don’t want to do drugs, bang hookers or party all night.
>>2624289Do cruises.
unironically cruises since everything there is catered
>>2627078find a small town with scenery and nature you might like (especially one off main highways), stay there for a couple daysI've done this in several places near where I happened to be working at the time, but I think you can probably do at least as well almost anywhere, depending on what kind of weather/topography/amenities you're looking for
Cruises are great for lounging and getting drunk Mexican beach or resort town Air BnB in the woods. Cascades or Sierra Nevadas or Appalachians or Ozarks
>>2628209>>2628236>>2629802this is not the /trv/ approved answer, but it's the best one.pick when you want to gopick WHERE you want to gopick your luxury/cost ratioshow up.that's it
