GENERAL INFO:https://pastebin.com/yR1SAr3sCOVID INFO:https://pastebin.com/zqKXDRA6
Hasn’t been one up for a while.After months and months of waiting I finally got my Z Visa. Had a look at all the bullshit rules, instructions and tests I have to do. I have to do 2 PCR and IgM and N protein test before I go. Then when in transit (only one stop), I.e UK->Amsterdam->China, I need to do another PCR and IgM test.This equates to around £700 worth of tests. Then because there are hardly any flights even flying to and from China, a plane ticket costs at the lowest around £3200. Is this shit really fucking worth it? I was extremely excited until I just found out all the fucking bullshit with the flying and test costs. Also, imagine if I catch covid and fail one of the tests... it’s all just a fucking nightmare.Really considering whether it’s even worth going.
>>2155817>>2155822Z Visa, Teaching>>21558232 ish months I think. Although the whole process took very long with the notarisation and stuff. I started in May I think.>>2155853Yeah im a virgin, 24 years old. I am ugly but white and 5'10 so I should be able to have sex there.
>>2155860White and not short goes a long way in china but it doesn't benefit you much if you're ugly. It isn't a flat additive to attractiveness, more of an amplifier, except maybe to girls with foreign fetishes.
>>2155860based and excited for you pilled.that's awesome Chinabro. Can't wait to hear about your success over there.So you're gonna be teaching english, I take it? how are your chinese skills?
>>2155860I started (restarted) in June, they still havent submitted for the PU yet, I'm going to Serbia this weekend to get the vaccine to bypass needing the PU because its a fucking jokeIm shorter than you but reasonably handsome and i have an easy time with women.Where are you going in china?
>>2155860You'll do fine anon, get on the apps and try to find some below average uni girl that will treat you well. Learn as much Chinese as you can Don't date someone uneducated or shack up with the first bar Thot that gives you attentiont.china pro
What arethe chances the UK will go back into lockdown this xmas?What will that mean for travel out?
What does today's announcement mean
>>2155819Normies that go to nightclubs and big concerts have to get vaccine passports, masks have to be worn in most indoor places, wagecucks should work from home where possibleNothing's being shut down or forced to operate at reduced capacity iirc
>>2155847They just want to push people to get vaxxed dont they
>>2155847Would the UK accept an Australian/EU covid passport? I don’t want to turn up at a museum and told to get fucked that my QR code doesn’t have enough bongs in it
>>2155879first world international braps passes are generally shared yes if its one of the sanctioned braps
>less degenerate coomers>Amazing sites>women less westernized Anyone been there?
>>2145771no
>>2148191Imagine, just one village in Laos supplied all these pretty girlshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXSPlyiBP4M
>>2154697i bet they all look like monkeys without the makeup and have skinnyfat bodies with brown nipples/pussies. i'd still coom in all of them obviously
>>2152642tried tramadol for the first time bc I had a brain splitting fucking migraine and that shit worked plus it's euphoric. wish I could by it OTC in the US
>>2152642Oh yeah I blacked her and she poop on me!
any Americans living in PR here? Is it a good place to live? Can I get by without a car in San Juan? How is their Covid policy?
>>2154526Puerto Rico is not a good place to live. It's very dangerous. Even Logan Paul was shot at in the nice, "high end", area.
>>2154526PR girls remind me of Flips in their capacity to get knocked up.
>>2154526PRfag here. Its not a good place to live. It's a great place to vacation, but PR is not the place to be. Even if you set aside the massive crime and sketch factor there are several serious structural issues plaguing the country that makes settling in PR a nightmare. We can barely keep the power grid functioning with frequent blackouts happening near daily in some parts.>can i get by in san juan without a car?You'll be using uber endlessly at which point a car might be less expensive than endless uber charges. >covid policyFucking sucks. Super strict and changes on whim. Lockdowns were sudden, then 7pm curfew, then 9pm curfew, banned sales of alcohol on the weekends entirely at one point, now I hear of bars requiring proof of vaccination to enter and some new phone app being pushed as the new way to avoid having to carry around the physical card with you everywhere you go. PR gov is strict on covid and is bipolar in terms of just how strict with new and temporary regulations constantly coming up. These can include the beach btw as they have previously banned going to the beach on sundays (but only on sundays)
>i live here as a gringo>it's fine>yes you can with the help of uber>it's gayfuck off we're full
>>2155093You'd think PR would get it together and make things nicer for the poor already.
Normally I don't support non-Western over Western, but it looks like the Maldives does everything better.
>>2155123Sounds pathetic, little wagie. Did you take some under 21 year old snatch there to impress and make memories with?
>>2154614I am just waiting for that cryptoposter who seethed being a "MILLIONAIRE" while having 1.0005 million dollars to his name, to come in and yell at you
>>2155707only one seething here seems to be you, if he has a million, he's a millionaire. What's your net worth again?
>>2154614>If you're posting here then you cant afford a hotel there for a weekend.Its a travel board. Traveling is an expensive hobby.
>>2155625Hes not wrong
Haven't traveled internationally at all this past year and I haven't used any vacation time at my new job. I'm not vaxed and want to go somewhere unique with a strong Christian culture. Was thinking of the Caucasus region, Tbilisi is my first choice so far, was thinking it could be fun celebrating orthodox new years there and then going to a ski resort nearby or something. I'm not absolutely set on going to Tbilisi, just the first city that came to mind since I don't know the area too well. Any recommendations, tips?
>>2155486It's fully open to anyone vaxxed, non-vaxx just needs to quarantine until negative test results. Which website did you check?
>>2155588Wait are you serious? I’m armenian and I have never heard of this shit happening in Georgia, guess that’s what happens when you embrace globohomo and steer away from baba Putin.
>>2155588Wait, what.80+% are Georgian Orthodox, the quasi-state religion there, plus did you miss the riots during Pride this year, with support from chuch officials?What on earth is your baseline for a country with a Christian culture then, if a very present majority with shit-stirring priests and higher-ups is not enough?
>>2155820That anon is just a demoralizing larper, cacucuses are still one of the most religiously conservative regions in the world outside of the Middle East
>>2155695Don't even think you need to quarantine>Unvaccinated travelers: The requirement to self-isolate is terminated for unvaccinated visitors who are citizens or residents of the United States[...]https://ge.usembassy.gov/covid-19-information-on-georgia/>>2155849Glad he's just a larper. Is there much of a night life in Tbilisi with covid? I know Bassiani is closed, are most clubs/raves still closed?
Why are sub saharan cities so messy and clustered instead of being more orderly, yes you can say "but they're poor" but that doesn't mean it has to be messy, it means that people cant have much material wealth but I'm asking why do they have random markets all over the place, crowds of people walking in the streets around cars and alot of traffic and trash everywhere and most houses are decaying shacks and slums, because for example there have been civilizations in the past that were still poor and and had even less technology yet their cities looked more tidy and their buildings more solid, for example the Romans, or medieval European stone towns.So what are the causes/origins/processes causing this?
>>2155513Explain how race isn't real when you can identify a person's race from their skeletal remains. You probably don't even think gender is real.
>>2154279Okay I don't know about Paris. But I've been to London and I've been to city in developing country x (not Africa, but lots of black people nonetheless). And London reminded me of the city in the developing country in the sense of being crowded and chaotic. The roads in London aren't straight. There's all kinds of weird winding roads and the street hsigns are hard to find. Then there are old buildings, and old underground train stations built for 5" tall malnourished 19th century workers but crowded with 21st century tall and fat modern-day Britons. Everything has a kind of Dickensian industrial revolution vibe. Obviously its been modernized a lot and isn't as grimy, poor, and polluted as it was in the Victorian era. But still, London has a bit of that Dickensian 3rd world atmosphere.
>>2155399The kingdom was documented by the Portuguese. 800 years? What are you talking about, years do not mean anything, human development is not on some magic comparative timeline, things occur at different times in different places. The point still stands, that Kingdom was as developed as Vikings were, perhaps even further along. It doesn't matter that there is an 800 year gap, this has no bearing, its different places on earth.>>2155482Again, this does not matter and has no meaning. What is it with racists and the obsession with years? As i said before, humans existed for 200,000 years. An 800 year gap is absolutely meaningless between two continents.
>>2155574How do you explain that every single place on earth with a high concentration of black people is a shit hole? Is it because rivers?
Have you ever been to the Kongo? Have you ever been to the Amazon? Your ignorance is comical. Retarded thread, reported. Moderators, you have a job. Do it or I'll find somebody else who will.
I'm an EU citizen and there are a lot of people (mostly 2nd and 3rd world countries) offering money to marry for the Passport. Where can I find them?
>>2155782>>2155788Elaborate? Remember EU is not the shithole that US is, where laws are very obtuse.I believe some countries have different prenup laws, just get acquainted with them and marry wherever they're best for you.
>>2155789Prenups all over the EU have been invalidated if they are prone to leave one partner in "a poor material state".You can fuck yourself for life with a nonchalant approach to them.
>>2155810Fuck getting married then, if I ever need to bring a girl in I'll get her a business visa.
>>2155642Country?
>>2155873That's the best route anyway, this way no dependence visa-wise on a partner and the new arrival is free to act within the boundaries of the specific visum.
Is Lithuania safe to travel to? Is Vilnius a cool city? What are some tourist things to do there?

Hi, what’s going on in Ethiopia? I recently saw a bald and bankrupt video where he buys everyone beer in a slum for like $2 for 10 beers. There were some cool tourist sites and food looked decent, dark African girls too. Anyone been? Tourist tips?
>>2155252>the absolute state of american education
>>2155252oh yeah? What's the capital of Africa?
Africa has aids though so forget the girls, Ethiopia is legit beat to this time of year and and weather is good and they don’t care about Covid whatsoever, but obv watch for for turbo covid (aids)
>>2155529they have the AIDS situation under control
>>2153053There's no food in Africa retard.
Ukranian General 2: last one him limitWhat do Ukranian girls like to do for fun and what is there to do in Odessa and Kyiev? Is ukranian bro to be trusted for helping anons site see or will you get your organs catalogued in short after one shot of overpriced vodka?
>>2155840Literally just go to Ukraine yourself or go on a website for Ukrainian dating or some shit. If you are a white westoid and look like you have a bit of money(which isn’t hard and most will assume you do because you are traveling) you will have access to like 85% of the women there and people who will try to befriend you for some western bux
>>2155840Why would you need someone to show you around. Use your legs and your eyes
>>2155840>is ukrainianbro to be trusted?hes a literal pedophile scammer samefagging as kek, king of kiev and random4channigger, so he is not to be trusted at all.https://archive.wakarimasen.moe/trv/thread/2149570/#q2155545

>>2155798I think students/workers around spring, and tourists by summer at best is more realistic.But their announcements have so far been "uuuh tomorrow you can come back" and "uuuh... sorry we're closed again tomorrow", so it's difficult to plan or prepare anything really.I wish we could at least get some idea of a time horizon, that of course could be subject to change. But it'd at least be something.
>>2155818>REEE ALL YOU CAN SAY IS YOU WALKED AROUND TOKYO REEEEUh ok, well most of my days in Tokyo, where I spent the majority of my time, went like thisI usually like to live around Shinjuku station because it's easy to travel from and also close to the Isetan which has an amazing high end grocery store.10am: wake up make some green tea11am: start walking around and doing stuff. Go see museums, go to parks, go to the gym (Oasis 24 which is walking distance from Shinjuku station area), shopping, etc.2-3pm: first meal3-5pm: Go back to my place and rest5-10pm: Go out and start walking around again and doing stuff. Have a super nice dinner, or a regular dinner, or not eat, or eat snacks, or whatever, just do what I wanted.Weekends I would go clubbing or to bars with dates or friends (I have a college from in Tokyo so always had a buddy to go out with). What else do you want me to say?Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>2155818In these places, I would just do what was popular, and since I usually travelled with a girl she would do research on Japanese websites so we'd see cool little shows and get into exclusive restaurants (many you can only book if you are Japanese), etc. We would travel around these areas too, but I don't remember all the small towns.Like I said, when you actually LIVE in Japan it's hard to give you a tourist itinerary, because I didn't have one. I just lived there and did what I wanted. I can answer any questions you have or give recommendations, but I can't tell you what I did because I did too much.However, my best memories are simple ones. Riding a train to a new city and watching the landscape go by, walking around the cities at night by myself, meeting travelers on the road, dating Japanese women and spending nights with them, feeling the city and the people of Japan....Or do you want me to go on about how I saw monkeys in an onsen in Nagano, you fucking faggot?
>>2155821not that guy but unfortunately I think we just need to hope Europe has a stronger backbone than the states and just pushes Japan for reciprocity if the EU fully opens again. That probably won't be a talking point until Summer 2022 but I would hope they could at least move the needle on getting a concrete date out of Kishida if not at least basic parameters around when they would be willing to re-open to European travelers
>>2155846Most countries here in Europe are "shutting down" or imposing restrictions again. The government here just had a press briefing earlier tonight doing just that. We need to get through the omicron wave before we can even have hopes of governments starting to consider things again.Also, don't expect the EU to have any sort of backbone when it comes to anything but securing their own power. They don't really care about pushing Japan to open.
Honestly the title more or less explains it all. Is Berlin in 2021 still as authentic and raw as it was known for being or has the chain outlet globohomo kicked in? Not much point moving there if it's corporatised as fuck desu
>>2155721That it happens it doesn't mean it's the norm, there are many hotties, but Barcelona is very non-white.
>>2152470Berlin had to be the most soulless European Capital I've visited. There isn't really much to see other than the Wall, some of the bullet ridden buildings from when fascists and commies duked it out, and whatever cathedral wasn't bombed in the war. Berliners are either pretentious stuck up assholes or anglo expats. Completely different from most German cities where the locals are chill. It isn't a awful place but I had a better time in Frankfurt desu.
