Is Venice worth visiting for only a day? I’m gonna be in Italy for the first time in less than a month for two weeks and I’m planning on going to Rome (4 days), Palermo (family is from there, will be there for 2 days), Naples (4 days, but might also see Pompeii and Amalfi) and Florence (4 days). I wanted to stay in Venice for a few days but lodging was way too expensive for when I’m going, but I’m thinking of taking a train from Florence to Venice and just getting a taste of it for a day.
Do 2 days in Florence, 2 days in Venice and absolutely do a day in Verona.
>>2630734I know this is bait, but the fact there are venetians who think all tourists only jam themselves to San Marco and San Polo is hilarious. Not realising that the first people that attitude drives away are the ones who actually want to see all of the city and spend their money there.
>>2633027LOL exactly
>>2629641You can see a lot of Venice in a day, you'd ideally want a couple of days there especially if you want to take in any of the cultural stuff.The most well known spots are absolutely ram packed normie tourists to the point where you cannot actually enjoy them. Away from those locations it's fine. Wander around without a plan and soak up the vibe. My favourite thing was to take the boats to the outlying islands (Burano etc). sometimes the journey is the destination. but if you only have a day there could be too tight.
>>2629641I was there a few years ago. It was worth it, but why are the shops mostly owned by Chinese?
I fell in love with Vietnam so I wanted a tattoo and the artist's vision of what I wanted was so much better than what I envisioned, I just had to share it!

how was your trip to Brazil?
>>2632270it cant be bad if im bringing a girl to my place especially if im staying in like rio in copacabanathis might not help but ive been to brazil multiple times growing up, i have a lot of family there
>>2632270>It's not Medellin, it's even more dangerous.absolutely braindead take>>2632289>it cant be bad if im bringing a girl to my place especially if im staying in like rio in copacabanaI actually think it's much safer to meet at their place so you can limit your losses to what you bring with you, many of the brothels and girls work apartments are in commercial office buildings with normal security anyways.
>>2632290do they have HIV
I can't recall a single time in Rio or Sao Paulo where I felt truly safe, there was always some tension presentThen again I was staying in middle-income areas with my Brazilian wife and not mega rich city centres
I love the little restaurants on copacabana beach
Currently in Berlin. Give me your best tips for 3 days
I'm going to Berlin in May for the first time. Any recommendations? What's the public transport like and how much does it cost?
>>2632318internationalsexguide.nl >>2633886Pretty good. Lot of moslems and negros though. 24 hour ticket is 9.9eur. Also metro is not 24/7 so you might have take a night bus at nightime.
>>2632306Shoot up some heroin
>>2635011European heroin
after nightfall you should go and break into spreeparkit's an abandoned theme park you can climb over the fence on the path by the riverthere will be signs warning about dogs but don't worry there are no dogsafter you're finished exploring go back to the river path and you'll find people having parties along the river
I'm going on a three week road trip through England and Wales later this Spring. The trip is mostly planned out at this point, however, I'm having a hard time figuring out where to go for the tail-end of our trip.Currently, we're going to be staying in York for two days. After those two days, we'll have to begin heading down to London to catch our flight back to the US. Any recommendations for good sites to see on the way back down?Primarily interested in prehistoric, ancient, and medieval historic sites and natural sites of wonder. I've considered heading East to check out the coast one last time before leaving, but on the way back down I'm having a hard time finding anything of particular interest between York and London. Any recommendations will be much appreciated.
>>2635015go to :nationaltrust.org.ukenglish-heritage.org.uklook at the mapsfind places close to your route?????profitas one suggestion- about half way along your route is stamford- a historic town and nearby is burghley house which is worth a visitalso not far from there is fotheringhay, site of the execution of mary queen of scots. there is not much to see although the village does have a very beautiful churchi would suggest visiting peterborough cathedral which is where mary's body was taken (before it was finally taken to westminster abbey) but the city of peterborough is a lost causeyou could spend a bit of time in cambridge, lots of historical stuff there of course
>>2635021Thanks for the recommendations. I've gone through and found things from those sites and this one:www.britainexperss.comMainly felt a drive to post here for recommendations from those that live there or have been before; or, perhaps places I've seen that don't appear that interesting actually are.I remember looking at Peterborough and considered going by; what makes it a lost cause these days?Thanks again for sharing. Anything you'd recommend checking out at Peak District National Park or nearby areas? Thought about going by there as well for a final look at the nature before returning to London.
>>2635022>I remember looking at Peterborough and considered going by; what makes it a lost cause these days?it is overrun by eastern europeans and muslims and miscellaneous third world detritushowever if you are really into prehistoric stuff etc, you might stop by flag fen - it is a well known archaeological dig site that has turned up lots of interesting stuffif you are interested in more recent history you might look up some of the ww2 history of the area. the whole east of england was dotted with american and other air bases during ww2, which were used to launch bomber missions into europe. most of the airfields don't exist any more and have gone back to being farmland (which is what they mostly were before the war) but there are many memorials, grave sites etc in out of the way places all around the area. see e.g. https://www.visiteastofengland.com/mota_blog/eighth-air-force-memorial-sitesanother place that is generally best avoided is milton keynes but nearby is bletchley park which you have probably heard of in relation to codebreaking in ww2, alan turing etcyou can't throw a stick in england without hitting some kind of historically significant thing. another thing i recommend is getting hold of simon jenkins' books: england's 1000 best churches and england's 1000 best housesas for the peak district the main place i can think of is chatsworth house. also that area has lots of little villages that have all kinds of weird old local customs like well dressing and stuff like that. those kinds of thing are pretty much disappearing so you should check them out before they are gone completely
Traveling to Europe for the first time, assume I know absolutely nothing, any tips, or things I should look into? The trip is going to be about a month-long, in Italy, Spain, Switzerland, and maybe Germany. I've got about $7,000 USD saved up for the trip, but hoping to save money wherever possible.
As swiss guy I would recommend to get a tourist General Train Abonnement (tourist GA) if possible or something similiar because the public transport (taxis, uber etc.included) are really pricy if you just buy tickets. Try to eat food out of convience stores like Migros, Coop and Denner. And I would personally buy some Läderrach chocolate (is extremely expensive) but trust me worth it. Cities to travel to you only have to choose between Zurich, Bern and Luzern.And If you need help just ask a pedestrian for some advise or help. 90% can speak english and will have some mid - good answers to your question.
Does anyone have that map with German towns and a note about weather or not they're worth visiting?
>>2632567I like Switzerland a lot, but the French alps were so much cheaper, the food in France was significantly better, there was better nightlife and I prefer the aesthetics of the French towns to the ones in Swiss. With all that said, Zermatt is worth the money if you can afford it. The Matterhorn is unreal. I've never been more awestruck in my life than taking the lift up those mountains. Photos cant do it justice
>>2634611>weather
>>2634540What's the reception like for a Hochdeutscher down there? Should I just use English? I speak German but I've never been to Switzerland, I'm not sure how they feel being spoken to using Hochdeutsch
Everywhere outside of midtown and the financial district is a giant ghetto full of crime and crackheads. What the fuck is this shit
>>2634935I don't know but my handlers have instructed me to say you're a virgin incel and you smell funny.Don't leave the USA. The USA is amazing. You just are stupid. Ok?
that's the only reason why it's still cool. it's wild. there are parts of the city that can't be controlled.
>>2634935>lower manhattan, gentrifyed brooklyn are ghettos kek
Parts of Brooklyn not so bad. Basically Manhattan lite. But the rest is a total dump at luxury prices, yeah. New Yorkers are retarded at this point. That fun New York subculture that existed back in the 90s and 80s and earlier is just gone. There is basically no advantage at all to live in New York that can’t be had for cheaper somewhere else. But people still live there because they love the hustle and bustle or some other retarded reason.
Convince me not to travel to Scotland (as a European) this summer. Edinburgh seems like the most beautiful city in northern Europe, there are hundreds of castles waiting to be explored, the people seem sovlful as fuck and you can camp wherever you want.
>>2633992If you like wind and precipitation yes
Scotsman here.Edinburgh is definitely worth a visit. It has a lot of historical charm and a classyness about it. I’d avoid August and December (the Christmas markets at Princes Street Gdns) it’s uncomfortably filled with tourists to what feels like bursting point but if that’s your thing go ahead.Shamefully I’ve never really travelled much in my own country. I’ve never been to the Highlands but I have been to rural areas on the coasts and they are very pretty especially if you get lucky and there’s some nice weather. Castles and country estates are our big selling point but like I said I haven’t had much experience of visiting them. As for Glasgow and other cities. Well I’m from Glasgow and in all honesty I don’t recommend coming here to stay even for a short while. A passing visit is more than enough especially if you like football (you can visit the 3 big stadiums) and I’d also recommend Kelvingrove Musuem. I suppose parts of the city centre have retained some nice Victorian architecture but beyond that it’s not worth it. My city is dirty, filled with litter and it’s lost a lot of it’s earthy charm in recent years thanks to a massive influx of third world migrants, the same thing that plagues other European cities.
>>2633992A nice crisp cold sunny day in Autumn is lovely but you’re more than likely to get dark grey clouds and drizzle that makes you want to throw yourself off a mountain. Rule no.1 about Scotland is you can rely on the weather to be unreliable.
Edinburgh is the England of Scotland

What Greek beaches would you recommend for swimming?

Why is leaving America and the American Dream to move overseas looked at negatively?
>>2634707Seethe harder big ol’ roastoid
>>2634398>types out a long-winded stramanKek, ive never been to SEA in my life. Ive only ever been to SA, north africa/MENA, taiwan, and yurop/caucasus. The women who get mad and cuss me out do so when I’m talking about moving to literally anywhere. My sweet summer fed you invented an entire seethestory about sexpats. We all know that the real reason this makes american women seethe is because foreign women are 10x nicer, hotter, and more down to earth than they are. No, I have never sexpatted and i dislike buying hookers and getting diseases, as I am an extreme germophobe.
>>2634761Cool story bro
>>2634432>I love America, but being an American just seems to be more favorable abroad than domestically.there it is. they just dont want you to redeem...
>>2634578>throwing it away seems retardedyeah and all americans are temporarily embarrassed millionaires. however, your move would still be justified by the fact america will collapse more slowly than your shithole. but its no reason to be optimistic. you think running a bolshevik totalitarian continental nation will be easy?
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.
>>2633365Where are you looking to find this? AirBnb is fucking insane prices.
FB groups or Taiwanese rental websites. Airbnb is technically illegal in Taiwan I think. Having said that, I have a stayed small furnished apartment in Daan district for like 1500 AUD a month on Airbnb. Either use a VPN or it's possible some of you here have western expectations for the size for Taiwanese apartments.
>>2632059How the fuck do you find an apartment near the Eastern District of Hsinchu?I need to stay for about 4 months
I'd like to do Taiwan cycle route #1how is weather at the end of December?have you ever been for NYE in Taipei?
Anons who have been to Taipei, are there cheap $20/night hotels which are walk-in / cash only? Everything online is 3- or 4-star rooms for $50+ per night. I had to pay $22 for a shitty hostel bunk in the cheapest place in the whole city. Fucking sucks, I wasn't expecting Taiwan to be so overpriced.
Albania in april - what am i in for? places to see, eat and experience?
I stayed in Saranda for a while and it was pretty nice. You can get a decent sea view condo for like $4-500 a month if you don't go in July/August. But the city is dead outside those months. Central Tirana is nice, but outside of there some places are real shitty
Posting in Shkoder literally rnNice place, much nicer than Tirana, I got a nice modern apartment for 250/month and now that tourist season is about to start you can get access to some of the kino nature aroundBut albanians are filthy animals, there's garbage everywhereAlso hope you like sitting in cafes because that's all there is to fuckin do in the city here, Albanians are insane about cafes, even the bars are just cafes with alcohol

How much cash should one carry on them these days? Is it more card reading or paying via Zalo/AliPay type services?
Please give me the QRD on cooming in Sa Pa.
>>2632604It's fucking hot here in Sai Gon and I'm speaking as a native. Remember to hydrate.>>2632955For a day's worth? Depends on your lifestyle and where, too. A typical day's spending in District 1 will be different from District 2, etc.As long as you don't use cash to buy furniture, plane tickets, or whatever, a day's food for a Westerner should be around 5-10 bucks for street food and local Vietnamese restaurants (think of Banh Cuon, Com Tam, Pho, Banh Mi, etc.)When you enter *proper restaurants* serving either local or foreign cuisine, expect somewhere around 35-50 bucks per visit. Con Ga Mai is always a safe bet, they have chicken platters in different styles.You can't reasonably expect picrel to accept VISA payment.If you are not sure, just ask. This is something you'll have to acquire a sense for.

Good places to visit in Canada? What's your favorite city? How about the food?
>>2631524Its not quite as shit as Toronto lmaoIts probably as gay as hogtown or more, but not quite as stupid. The physical layout of the city is like something from 1962 as well.Ottawa would be an awesome place to have like a weeks vacation, but a shitty place to live.
>>2597363Based
>>2633725It depends on what you're looking for, but if you want to actually experience the culture of a big city Ottawa is way less fun than Toronto. I lived in Ottawa for 2.5 years, felt like a larger version of my small hometown.
>>2634188Outside of Montreal, is there any big city in Canada that's actually fun? They all suck.
