Had a chance to visit a few years ago, but ended up just doing a 3 hour layover. Did I fuck up, my /trv/s?Will it be fundamentally different to visit in the future as China continues to incorporate it?
>>1963556That's not true. There are articles saying that vaccines reduce the spread of disease. You sound like a retard.
It's easy to get distracted by politics, but economics is the much bigger threat to HK. Rent prices are off the charts and keep rising because of very limited new housing supply (the city government is controlled mostly by business interests, who stand to make the most on property if they keep it as limited as possible). It's difficult to maintain the character of neighborhoods when residents are either priced out entirely or forced to live in some dystopian coffin apartment. Those who move in do tend to be wealthy Mainlanders, but that's a symptom rather than a cause of why these changes are happening in the first place.That being said a lot of what makes Hong Kong charming doesn't have much to do with any of that at all. I love the ability to wander around and always see something interesting, and I love how pretty good nature is juxtaposed so closely with super dense city. Those don't show any sign of disappearing, so I'll continue to highly recommend HK to anyone
>>1963565google leaky vaccine, retard
>>1963576Vaccinated people who become infected have lower viral loads and are less likely to spread the disease. Spreading the disease is what increases the chance of mutation. You're just some room temp iq moron who gets all of his news from social media and believes the trash on them.
>>1963581But social media deletes/censors posts that question the covid narrative, anon. Are you sure you aren't the low iq faggot that needs to take a step back from the media?
most covid travel restrictions can be ignored or otherwise defeated. I have faked numerous negative test certificates (to the satisfaction of several different countries) and come up with plausible essential work reasons for travel that meant in the last 12 months I have spent more than 90 days away from home already - a record for me in my life.Right now I'm in the French Alps for 6 weeks. Skiing, rock climbing, sunbathing, eating lots of cheese and fucking puss.Was dead easy to get here, despite all muh travel restrictions, kek. Last year I flew to several different places for similarly unjustifiable trips.The only lockdown is in your mind.
>>1963543What's the mechanism behind that, sonny Jim? >>1963545>If you're caught doing that in my country it is a 10k fine and jail timeYea I got a 10k fine for having a house party last year (UK). I took it to court and it was dismissed like all the others they've given out.> Quarantine hotelsOnly apply to certain origin countries, and there are still ways around it if you have half a brain/valid work reasons.
>>1963534>plausible essential work reasonslike...?
>>1963563e.g. I'm a delivery driver. All that stuff in the back of my van is for delivery to [destination of choice].
>>1963571Ask me how I know you made the entire OP up.
>>1963559>still ways around it if you have half a brain/valid work reasonswill this work in canada? i do have a job to go to...
Any anons in Colombia right now? Me and a couple digital nomad friends are planning a trip to Medellin, are things safe down there? How's the social scene for Americans currently with Covid going on?
>>1962072Love that combination of red bricks and green vegetation.So much better than the globohomo metropolitan glass & concrete

>>1963254> whereas in Bogota you only see them occasionallydepending on the area, they're pretty common in the north and downtown
>>1961506Yeah. The histories I hear are hilarious. Once, a research buddy told about one of his friends having to go to a hearing. The girl he fucked was trying to figure out whether he or which one of the 5 other guys she fucked, without protection, was supposed to pay her kid's alimony.
>>1963448yeah that totally would NEVER happen in america
how is israel dating wise? any impressions?
had to do it to themhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCOkIf1YrEY
>>1962534Basically same as most Mediterranean girls. Hot Greek and Spanish girls are also only interested in Chads or the very successful dudes. Despite all the antisemitic faggotry on here, Israel is still basically a bunch of Europeans with a Med climate and attitude.
Israeli here, don't botherIt's an entire country of 6\10 acting like 10\10>>1962582 is rightEven if by some miracle you manage to find someone who's attractive, she'll be boring and awful in bedYou can be compared to models and good looking actors abroad but in Israel, you're nothingYou can be smart and witty, it won't do you any good since it will go over their heads
>>1962656ugly and all, I would a few of them
>>1962561>Basically, if it weren't for the vagina, dating them would be pretty damn close to gay.This sounds too good to be true.
I need to start travelling, planned to this year and I'm close to so many W.europe countries, even If you take the vaccine lockdown is still in place.
>>1962746Exactly, all the loonies in my country are saying they wont travel anymore if vaccine will be a requirement, and honestly I encourage their decision.
>>1963561And? That's actually fucking cool. Imagine being such a pussy over being potentially turned into a superstrong mutant in the year 2021.
>>1963570The only mutation you will experience is a permanently deformed face and the inability to breed, but that last one is of no concern to a basement dwelling virgin such as yourself, so I can see why it doesn't bother you
>>1963568KYS retard
>>1963568>mfw all the npc cucks sterilize themselves en masse with an experimental vaccine and we remove faggotry from the gene pool once and for all.
I'll start>That single middle aged man who has no real job or family and is travelling around SEA 'for the culture'
>>1959637>Most bad stereotypes about America are from the South and Midwest.LMAO
>>1961388Only Newfie’s actually do that in Canada, they were just fucking with you.
>>1962240It's true though. From over here, when we think about all the horrible things that you do, it's Southerners and flyover-state-plebs we think of.
>>1957833>>That single middle aged man who has no real job or family and is travelling around SEA 'for the culture'Holy shit are people aware of people like this? I feel like this will be me in a couple of years, I thought no one paid attention to single men :(
>>1959685I think it's somewhat dependent on circumstances. I've been overseas for nearly a year, and I haven't done much except sit inside, watch movies, and work; but I'd much rather delay going home until I absolutely have to. Even that, it'll just be to get another visa. Sometimes you get burnt out being abroad and need some time--a few days, or even a few weeks--to live a mellow life and follow a comparably predictable routine. You can't realistically go out, party, and have fun for months and months and months on end. Having said that, I'm not staying in a hostel. I think the stereotype of the "unsocial Asian" is circumstantial: people usually stay in hotels for shorter periods of time, and often use them as an excuse to make new friends and socialize. If you're in a brand-new place for several weeks, especially a major tourist hub, then it'd definitely be perceived as unusual to not want to do anything but sit in bed, listen to music, and watch movies.
Does anyone here know anything about the girls in Singapore? Even if I do aim high with the company I tend to keep, in SEA they'll still be wanting something serious, a ticket to the first world and a white bun in the oven.From what I've heard of Singapore, the land of the Lawful Neutral, I can be shacking up with well to-do professional women who are overworked and just haven't been getting any, and really don't want this getting in the way of their work.Can anyone corroborate these claims? Anecdotes? Experiences?

>>1963215It’s funny to read posts like this. You think there is some “holy grail” place you can go where attractive women will be drowning in your cum. In reality if you are even thinking about this, chances are very high that you have problems getting laid at home which will absolutely transfer over to anywhere else you go.
>>1963535This.Tired of the "what are women like in place XYZ". Most of them are tedious drama queens that are prone to illogical behaviour and public display of emotions, no matter where you go.

What's the best way for me to learn a new language? I'm trying to learn my first MFL (German) and feel like I'm stagnating. I've been learning through Duolingo since ~November and have met a few German speakers online who I practice with, but I'm still pretty reliant on Google Translate to understand them, especially if they're talking about more complicated things.I've learned way more useful stuff by talking to people, but not enough to skip the Duolingo exercises. I'm starting to get a bit sick of Duolingo and want to find a better way to learn. I'd take some proper language classes but there are none I can get to because of the pandemic and my uni doesn't let me take language classes.Anyone got any good recommendations?
>>1962331temporarily hi-jacking this thread to ask about learning Chinese.Does anyone know any good online Chinese communities to get involved with for learning purposes? Maybe a chinese forum of some kind?Anyone else learning chinese here? How's it going for you?
>>1963023German is useless and ugly
>>1963371I've been to a Chinese imageboard once, but you had to register with a phone number before posting.
>>1963371look up xiaomanyc if he has a discord or something
I'm learning Pashto at the moment. I'm completely retarded and speak no other languages but I've been using italki with a dude in Kabul and after two months I can string all sorts of sentences together and even talk about politics. I pay $12 per and do one or two a week. Having a native speaker is invaluable, so I recommend italki.
I need to zen the fuck out, in the next few days ill be having life changing money coming in and im going on an international vacation. The first thing i need to do is go to a spa retreat or something like that/mini rehab but im autistic af and there cant be many people there, preferably one on one.Suggestions from within your country/travel experience?
any 3rd world country where it is relatively safe,consider putting 75% into index funds or something though dude, if youd like to actually change your life.
>>1963490Congratulations on your $1000 inheritance, make sure to go to a cheap location since you'll need to make that money last
>>1963490Just pick a well known resort town like Aspen or Banff and look at the more expensive resorts and spas. Preferably something in a state/country with less COVID restrictions and in the off-season right now so smaller crowds.Would help to know where you are from.
All quiet because the farang rats have a paywall and quarantine to go through but the tight Thai teens (TTT) still need some money <3
>>1963436Go to Thailand. South America is a literal jungle and fraught with danger. I’m in Thailand now and it’s a slaughterhouse for a young white guy. I’m also 5’10 but 29
>>1963431It is typical Cambodian. There are no adults in that country. That shit is tedious as hell. Go for pump and dump things with total whores instead. It is way more convenient.
>>1963540Yea some of these whores are getting to affectionate. I’m gonna fuck this girl and tell her to play with her phone while I fuck her like in the infamous JAV oblivious bitch academy
>>1959157Really? How?
damn, a lot of brags on these asia threads
Welcome to /rcg/, a place to discuss all things roller coasters and amusement parks.
>>1962891Yeah covid isn't relevant at all in a packed crowded place at all
>>1962948It’s relevant, sure, but it’s also a blatant attempt to derail the conversation, or at the very least an obviously controversial issue that you KNOW is just going to spark anger and debate that won’t be productive or help the thread in any way. Talk about parks and/or coasters in particular, or kindly fuck off.
>>1962910What is your favorite coaster? I'd have to say mine is Millennium Force
>>1963452The Voyage and it's not even close
>>1963470>his favorite coaster is wooden
What's a good place for a wealthy Euro to take his wife and 2-y-o for a week or two this summer?Could be anywhere in the world.
>>1962752>a column is by definition Roman>all pieces of old columns end up in museums cause old>people put replica columns here and there for lulz and profitMurikan?
>>1957516Go to Japan. Boring but excellent for families and as long as you are a tourist they will move mountains for you.
>>1958919The main issue is the 2 year old. Crete is amazing, by the way, but I can't see myself carrying a 2 year old. Hell, only places I took my two year old was to a small mountain town in my country and to visit family in Colombia in a similar weather to that mountain town and it was not really possible to be both safe and observe anything of interest that wasn't small enough our divided attention didn't matter.
>>1963484That is the American approach too. People will love your kid (in the non-pedo way) and it will be safe as houses. You really gotta get your head out of your ass. You and your family are safe.
>>1957870>>1957864> Belgiumfucking kek it's always a Belgian. Fake country fake people.
Tent camping in the Florida keys?I want to go but everywhere is expensive as fuck, campgrounds charge $70 a night just to pitch a tent LOL how realistic would it be just to find some hidden area behind some trees and pitch a tent?
>>1961882>sleeping in a 90F 95% humidity environmentwould want to die senpai
>>1961912Well he won't be sleeping during the day
>>1963129It's florida, do you think it is somehow better at night? I mean yeah in winter it cools down a bit, but rest of the year outside dec->feb enjoy pretty much 80's all year round.
>>1963460I was mainly asking about the police. Humidity can fucking try me.
>>1961337Sleep in your car you retard
Is this normal for solo travellers?
>>1963145Your entire experience of the middle east comes from American Media
>>1963319>American universities>non-fat womenNice LARP Muhammad, the only non-fat thing in America is their milk.
>>1963319Same, but in fucking non-fat women you shamed your proud Arabian ancestors by fucking them. Khalid ibn al-Walid is looking down on you in shame.Fucking fat white women isn't anything to be ashamed of though, it's just one of those things like how black women love skinny white guys.
>>1963066See 1956071
>>1963066It's normal behavior for jewish women
