>>1544761Use your move to Japan as an opportunity to rid yourself of this addiction, anon. Leave the syrup at home and don't buy it in Japan either.
>>1544761>>1544770bro they sell codeine otc lol
So I thought of maybe doing some camping in Japan after reading about it on Wiki Travel, but I still have one question about that. Since its Camping and Hiking, I have to travel with a large backpack for all my gear. But I would also like to visit some cities and not just hike the countryside. Is there a way to leave my backpack somewhere safe? I imagine that walking around in Tokyo or Kyoto with a large backpack is not easy and it would be inconvenient. Any thoughts?
>>1544761damn read too quickly>>1544772that's meI think they sell dxm syrup too (new Bron solution, vs Bron solution which is codeine) but I'm pretty sure they put that gualfestin shit in that brand. if they sell that over there I'm positive they sell the dxm pills tooalso how the fuck do you get addicted to dxm that shit's terrifying
>>1543526Question to those who live in Japan (Tokyo more specifically)Have you used or do you have any comments on Nuromobile or UQ Mobile?I'm moving for my Masters for 2 years (to Tokyo) and need to find a SIM Provider. I don't care much about voice plans, data should be enough, and 5g would suffice for me.Alternatively, how difficult do these companies make it for me to sign up with them if I buy a sim free smartphone from elsewhere and just want to use their plans? (from what I've researched they always seem to want to sell you their phones+plan)
Anyone else find Winston and Tkyosam to be the best duo for travel vlogs?They should collaborate more often.
>>1543827>>1543941While some people are cringe in suits that don't take care of themselves or fail to clean up the right way I noticed to that what I'm wearing effects how I'm perceived in other countries.I usually only go for the salaryman look and I'm taken more seriously than some guy dressed up like the epitome of a tourist right off a plane. Though of course I don't wear a suit to the beach or if I go biking.
>>1543673What possible company would hire these guys as experts? They just did teaching and babysitting jobs aside from a failed bike repair shop. Their chinese is far from fluent and even if it wasn't, Western born chinese or university educated speakers will take all those jobs for less pay. They are youtubers, thats the only career path for these guys.
>>1544710>I noticed to that what I'm wearing effectsShakespearean level of discourse right here folks.
>>1544274>>1544706As someone who doesn't even know who this guy isDoes he actually make money off of youtube?What about Serpentza?
>>1544710Please try reading more. I'm sorry to single you out but it really bugs me when posters think increasing the size of their words makes them look more intelligent.
I've only used AirBnB once before in Delhi and it went smoothly, the host went above and beyond to accommodate us. I recently just booked an AirBnB in Salzburg and I told the lady that I would be checking in around 2100 at night (thats the absolute earliest I can get there due to the time my plane lands). And she sent back "the latest check-in I can do is 1800 as I have a late job." Is this normal for AirBnB's to be flippant to the customers or what?
>>1544614what's so hard to understand about "check in is 3PM"?
>>1544604>>1544633These problems are being solved easily in the recent years in touristy cities - airbnb just gets severely limited. For example, in Amsterdam you can't rent out for more than 30 days per year, in New York you can't rent the whole apartment, only one room. Bang, problem solved.On the other hand, in many places airbnb is a godsend. For example, in most cities in the US that aren't New York, Miami and San Francisco there are few tourists anyway and airbnb is like 1/3 of the hotel price. Same goes for Australia.
>>1544642They didn't provide any details leading up to it, so they expected us to wait until it was 3 to even know where to go. They should also at least be able to be contacted
>>1544644Yeah I knew a guy who did Airbnb in Brooklyn. He liked the flexibility more than the money because he said he would make more with one person renting out the room. He just knew he would get sick of the same person.
Does anybody used Airbnb in Japan? I've heard that it's pretty big there. How does it work? Can i bring girls in it without the owner bitching about it?>pic unrelated
Can a white man get a (You) here?
>>1544767>Can a white mansorta got annoying after hearing it for the 5th time.I don't get this guy's "deal" anyway, why the fuck is he spending so much time in India? He doesn't seem to enjoy it nearly as much as the other bald dude.
I happen to be in Genoa next week. Any experiences? Any tips? I paint and draw/visit museums/go out.
There will be lots of nice places to paint as the old town is quite picturesque. I went there for a few days and stayed in a hostel in old Town and had a nice time just wandering around there. Lots of nice views!
Hi,I have the change to leave my country and start living and working in Switzerland. Should I take it?I will earn more money and live a more comfortable life, btw.
The Swiss are the most racist people I've had to deal with in my years of travelling
>>1544748I thought we were talking negatives?
>>1544748And that's a good thing.
>>1544748Whats your race then?
>>1544748Chinese and Japanese are probably worse.

What are the best and worst things about the UK?
>>1544719Uh as a fellow Australian can you shut up about mum? Show some respect.>yikesCringe.
>>1544729Agreed 100%. Even the Cornwall bit. I'd probably include black immigrants under Worst too, although they aren't quite as bad

I'm bored and I figured /trv/ might have some interesting questions for me, so fire away. First the basics.>Who the hell are you and why should I care?I am a cross trained agent for Piedmont Airlines, a wholly owned subsidiary of American Airlines. >What is a cross trained agent?Ground based airline employees are generally referred to as agents. For example, someone who works the gate would be a gate agent, someone who works on the ramp would be a ramp agent (AKA fleet service agent, and sometimes shortened to "ramper"), plus ticket counter agents, baggage service agents, bag room agents, operations agents, etc. etc. At regional airports, staffing restrictions mean that there are not enough personnel to have individual agents for individual tasks, which is where cross trained agents like myself come into play.We are trained to fill multiple positions, and in many cases all positions. I fall into the latter category. I am fully trained and routinely work at the ticket counters, gates, ramp, operations, baggage service office, aircraft cleaning, security searches, emergency response, and more. I come from a rather large regional airport, therefore unlike most other cross trained agents I am fully trained for both regional (American Eagle) and Mainline flights. >Can I ask about...Comment too long.

>>1535468Have you only worked line stations? Any interest in transferring to a hub?Is y'all's union IAM? Sorry to hear about y'all's profit sharing. Ours wasn't great either at United.
>>1537651Holy fuck that story took a turn. I hope you're in a better headspace now anon.
>>1535482>ask me anything>I-I can't t-tell you s-some stuff, it's a r-r-really big d-d-deal!For weed, if the color of something looks organic in their "x-ray" scans, and is in the odd shapeI brought small amount of hashs through on international flights a few times in my luggage, but I won't tell an airline narc how I did it. Dead easy.
>>1544583Only ever worked in my one station. Eventually I want to go mainline, maybe to a hub, but I haven't really decided yet. My end goal job would a be a premium customer service agent. I enjoy interacting with people, and customer service is something most of my colleagues say I am genuinely exceptional in. As for our union, we are a CWA station.>>1544599I'm much better. I have a good job, good health, and I'm going to be asking a coworker out for a date soon. Things are really looking up compared to where I used to be.>>1544601>lol just break federal law dude XDDDI really have no desire to be on the selectee list, thank you.
>>1544670>I'm going to be asking a coworker out for a date soonis that a good idea?

The more interesting US names are towns like Bird-in-Hand or Truth-Or-Consequences, not cities.And Pago Pago, of course.

I'm a NZ born citizen and I'm thinking of moving to Queensland, AUS in a few years from now. To work and pursue a career. Just wondering if there are any native Queenslanders who can tell me about the place, places to visit, sites or points of interest, politics of the region, etc. Just anything that would be of interest.
Gold Coast, Queensland is Australia's version of Orlando, Florida and contains most of the relevant theme parks in the country. Just north of Brisbane is the Australia Zoo run by the Irwin family. There are also several neat sightseeing trains in the region, such as pic related.
>>1543933It's full of drunk pricks.If you want to live somewhere nice in Australia, move to Melbourne.
>>1543933Sunshine coast is the nicest place in Aus, great beaches and not too touristy. Cairns is nice too, can go diving on the reef and the fishing is great if your into that.
Yeah smart move going to the biggest shitholes in the country, kiwi diaspora.
From Toowoomba Queensland. Why bother coming to Queensland the other states are nice and has less pricks and cunts. Easier to get a lay and make friends if you’re a bogan. Hard to meet decent people and 90% of the decent people aren’t born and bred in Queensland. Literally met one decent Queenslander and it’s my current GF but her parents are both migrated germans so does it really count though? (No it doesn’t). Move to Melbourne or Sydney far nicer culture. Unless you’re planning to party all the time at the coast or Brisbane.

>tfw almost finished with universityIt's a shame I only have 30 days per year now available once I find a job. I think this year will be smaller too bc of finding a job, you have to work 6 months before you can take vacations. It will allow for a couple of shorter trips though, I could easily do three 2 week trips to different countries in a year. I'm a slow traveler, what I saw in Latin America took me nearly two years. My goals for the next years are>USA>Mexico>Guyanas >Rest of Brasil>East Asia Don't really care about Australia, South-East Asia, Central Asia or Africa (I'd go for a Safari) but who knows maybe I'll discover my love for that in the coming decades
>>1543662pleb tier
my father tell me that i should be proud of the travels i did with him when i was a kid, lmao
>>1535268how was your experience in INDIA?
I have to live in the USA for the next 2 years on $1,500 per month. Where would you go?
>>1544765How about Phoenix, housing is some of the cheapest in the country and apart from being boring it's a safe and clean place.
>>1544769I mean, I would personally pick either SoCal, the Bay Area, Seattle, or Miami. Primarily because they have good nightlife, outdoor activities nearby, good airport for short international trips, and have pretty mature gig economies so I would easily be able to make enough to fund my hobbies. But that's just me. Those cities might not suit you.
>>1544776Are you a musician or something? Im considering western washington right now because the community colleges have good transfer programs
>>1544781No, not a musician. Western WA is a solid option. Usually spend two months per year up there. Lots of great state and national parks for hiking and camping. Decent nightlife in Seattle. Lots of decent paying gig economy opportunities to make money.
>>1544789*gulp* ...what are you....
