I know some people will say “anon it’s never too late!” but I don’t want to be seen as some old creepy fuck wanting to go dancing.

So unless you’re older and have done those things with positive outcomes, how old is too old to travel and have fun with locals?

Young dude here.
Honestly don’t mind partying with older dudes since most of you are pretty chill, also idgaf if you hit on young girls as long as you aren’t ruining the vibe. On that note I honestly prefer partying with older dudes than young women. They can get weirdly stuck up and most don’t really have a good vibe, even ones that were previously friendly, they’re just there to get free drinks from simps and dance with their bffs.

I envy the way you got to grow up, I’m very much the opposite of this and hence why I want to explore and meet with people from other countries. But oh god I remember those fur coats lol.

For Tokyo and Seoul what would you suggest aiming for if you wanna go out and party but not necessarily with a young crowd? I guess my insecurities stem from not really knowing what kind of people go out to dances or places where people congregate and hang out or whatever.

I think the music gets better the drunker you get. It’s always been the case for me even if I am a huge music snob when I’m sober lol.

I get you anon, I think I’ve been a little obtuse with my wording and my objectives for going to Japan/Sk/ Europe. I just wanna hang out and have fun and dance, meet new people, etc.

Sheltered might not be the right word, I married the wrong person and I wasted my 20’s and some of my 30’s with someone that hated me/blog. I could never do those things you describe even for myself. A jazz club sounds nice there’s plenty near me I haven’t been to.

>For Tokyo and Seoul what would you suggest aiming for if you wanna go out and party but not necessarily with a young crowd? I guess my insecurities stem from not really knowing what kind of people go out to dances or places where people congregate and hang out or whatever.

Is it possible that you're using alcohol and partying as a crutch to overcome your insecurities? It's not going to work mate. Despite my decade of debauchery I'm still a sperg because I didn't work on addressing my own internal issues. Tequila and EDM may temporarily remove your inhibitions but they're not a substitute to learning how to be okay with being vulnerable around strangers. Did I have a lot of fun? Sure. Did I gain anything other than a quick temporary fix, lighter wallet, tinnitus and damage to my health? Not really. I would have been served better by going on Meetup or Facebook groups to play ultimate frisbee in the park, or group drawing classes, or some weekend hike thing. Some social thing in broad daylight and sobriety where people actually talk, maybe connect over a shared interest and maybe get together for a few drinks afterwards.

I know that's not what you want to hear. Before my current marriage I had another one (married in my early 20s) with a real vapid cunt. So I can relate to getting out of a soul sucking situation and feeling like I've missed out on capitalizing on my youth. But you are who you are at this moment in time. And there's a reason people keep asking this question whether it's weird for an older guy to go clubbing. It's because after a certain age a man should have higher value activities to occupy his time with and we all kind of know this to be true. Going halfway around the world to recapture lost youth doesn't change this. And anyway different people have different perspectives on what lost youth and opportunities mean. For me I wish I would have used that time to maximize my earning potential for the future.
>>
Most people my age make way more money because they didn't spend a full decade dicking around. So my lost youth is me not getting a degree or making any meaningful connections with purpose driven people.

And I have another suspicion about partying. That it's a low quality imitation for the kinds of things that higher value individuals engage in. When you have age, experience, money and a good network you can have great cocktails, professional music performances to enjoy, intelligent discussions with important people, higher quality entertainment (wink wink) and a whole bunch of really great shit. Young inexperienced people with less money don't have easy access to that. A club is in one way a manufactured shittier version of all those things made for the masses.
>>
Having said all that,
>>2646649
>I just wanna hang out and have fun and dance, meet new people, etc.
Just look up event calendars, social media groups, meetup get-togethers etc. Small underground EDM places. Everything is on Google Maps. Fuck, even international parties aren't half bad for connecting with random people and most are looking for an afterparty spot. If you're feeling lonely rent a shitbox in a Sakura House or some other godforsaken dormitory for cheapskate locals and transient teachers.

Or go to Pattaya for a month and get the sour marriage taste out of your system.

Any small pockets of the world that have not been affected by this "Great Reset" lunacy? I'm sick of the floods, war, pandemics, and whatever else they have in store for us.

Some people who are digital nomads, like myself, will stay in areas for 2 maybe 3 months at times. Not sure about other anons, but I often will eat at the same bar or place a few times. I for sure knew in Philippines when I'd tip the service and portions coming back was always better for tipping what essentially was 1 USD (if that).

Other than Chicago and New Orleans, just write off the Midwest, Great Lakes, and Deep South entirely. You won’t like them. You have to be American to really appreciate them.

That leaves a lot of places and frankly, you’re just going to have to pick at random and see what you like. One person loves Boston, another loves Charleston, one loves Philadelphia, another loves Chicago, one loves Texas, another loves California. It’s basically personal taste.

If you want walkability and public transport, then just stay in the UK because your big cities are designed better; our big "walkable" cities are shitholes that aren't nice to live in (keyword: live; American big cities like NYC and Chicago are still fun for tourism but trust me you don't want to live there).

DC is a good food city. very good guatemalan/honduran. I recommend bicycling a lot. washington national cathedral, the national botanic gardens, and the arboretum are also worth it. don't sleep on DC itself though, especially the lesser visited museums and the lesser visited neighborhoods. if you like planes, head out to udar hazy too. summer is rough to visit but bring a lot of water and you'll be fine.

If you want good Korean, Indian, or Thai you have to go into Arlington/Fairfax.
All the American food is run of the mill, and there is about two good Sushi places. Italian selection is low too. I will concede there is good Latin food at smaller joints.

I never understood why people get annoyed by tourist or feel like some countries get 'invaded' by tourist until I went to Ubud in Bali. For such a small town in the middle of the rainforest, there were so many fucking white people (and I'm white). So many people that you couldn't even walk on the sidewalk. Or find a place to eat. Or drive. And because it's cheap, you get the worst tourists (AKA bums and idiots) mixed in. I would never go back.

PMQ is cool but Tai Kwun is better as far as restaurants and bars go. There’s a spectacular cocktail bar in it called Gushiki Lounge. You can take the fast ferry from Hong Kong island to Macau.

I'm planning to go to Macau even though I have 0 desire to gamble or go to Casinos (might stand outside and admire the architecture at best) especially since that big fuck off skyscraper is a casino??

heard you can do it in less than a day and spending more time is a bit of a waste, I'm a fat cunt so will be hitting up places for breakfast, 2nd breakfast, lunch, snacks, tea before jumping on a ferry back to HK to throw up in LKF

appreciate your advice for macau, also NTA you replied to
>>
>>2646442
No problem anon, you can do Macau in a day and be back in LKF in time to pregame in front of a 7/11. In Macau it’s worth going to the effort to find Macanese food, it’s a hybrid Portuguese Cantonese cuisine that’s extremely good. If you can find a place run by mixed Macanese people there’s a good chance they’ll actually speak Portuguese as their language too, very few people in Macau actually use it.

Non-English speakers don't like it when you try to speak their language unless you're really fluent conversationally.

Duolingo is one of the worst tools for learning a foreign language to be honest.

Never been to PA, have no interest in civil war shit or trains. I will not go to Philadelphia or Pittsburgh. I've already got a few botanical gardens picked out and I know I'm spending at least one night in Scranton. Recommendations for things like museums, nature preserves, and antique/vintage stores would be appreciated. Also some places to eat. Have a few days to kill so don't mind going out of the way so long as it's worth it.
