The Philippines had long been a destination for degerante cooming, jungle trekking, and eating rice.....lots of riceCan I live there for 400 dollars a month?Should I build my online gf a house in the jungle province?Will I be robbed by a gang of street kids with no shoes?Discuss
>>2303884Are you literally retarded?https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2017/06/lolas-story/524490/> Her name was Eudocia Tomas Pulido. We called her Lola. She was 4 foot 11, with mocha-brown skin and almond eyes that I can still see looking into mine—my first memory. She was 18 years old when my grandfather gave her to my mother as a gift, and when my family moved to the United States, we brought her with us. No other word but slave encompassed the life she lived. Her days began before everyone else woke and ended after we went to bed. She prepared three meals a day, cleaned the house, waited on my parents, and took care of my four siblings and me. My parents never paid her, and they scolded her constantly. She wasn’t kept in leg irons, but she might as well have been.
>>2306134>Iloilo looks goodIloilo isn't untouched, but it is good and people don't go there for tourism reallyAlso check out Bacolod, which is a ferry ride away from iloilo
>>2307138>Is it not ABS spa or Abacca? Searching ABC yields nothing.Abacca is what you want. I'm not the other anon, but I am familiar
The cooming in the Philippines sounds great, but how's life aside from that? Is it one of those countries where your life kind of sucks even if you have money or is it one of the ones where you can live like a king? Wouldn't want to go somewhere long-term if I couldn't get a nice apartment with decent amenities.
>>2309323> but how's life aside from that?Once a coomer always a coomer. Thats the life you chose cumbrain, kek you think there's something more? Not for the coomerman
Planning a two week trip in Italy in September. How's route looking? What other places should I add? So far planning 2 days in Milan, 2 days in Venice, 1 day in Bologna and San Marino, 1 day in Parma, 1 day in Pisa, 2 days in Florence, 2-3 days in Rome, 2-3 days in Naples and Pompei.
>>2309006Dago hands wrote this
>>2308951Hey, I did a similar route in May. If I did it again I'd spend more time in Tuscany, it's in my opinion the most beautiful part of Italy. I stayed on agriturismo sites which was a good idea.
Anons saying Lucca and Cinque Terre are truly based. Pisa is worth seeing if you are passing by but it takes fifteen minutes.Tuscany is the nicest area. There’s a village I stayed at for a bit called Corfino which was comfy. Had an outstanding view down the valley.
>>2308951Is Urbino not a good tourist destination? Isn't the architecture there kino?
>>2308951whoa boy, another one of these threads. not quite sure naive, not quite sure troll. you can do day trips to venice and parma from bologna. you can do pisa from florence. you can skip san marino.
I have wanted to go to Brazil for years. I like nightlife, also scorts and sex oc. A friend told me Colombia was super dangerous (he went there for 2 weeks) so I have two questions:- It is too dangerous to walk in sao paulo looking for fun?- With inflation, will everything be extra expensive?
>>2308598I know about some requirements but not all. U need to show vax certificate. I know people from argentina and they can go there without even PCR test, but idk about EU or US tourists.I also want to go, trannies seems to be hot there
>>2308598Just show your vaccination certificate. Alternatively you can do a PCR test before departure.
>>2308685Is it either-or? If I'm not vaccinated, I can still go as long as I do a PCR test?
>>2308454Examples on how super dangerous it is? Did your friend get robbed or see some shit go down or just exaggerating to sound hard?Does anyone know if colombia is at least 'ok' for safety outside of bogota and medellin? Or is the whole country fucked? Im not a total sperg and it wont be my first time in the 3rd world.
>>2309325Which opinion do you want, that its safe or that it's not safe?
Leaving the West general thread.I live in the USA, how do i get out of this corrupt shit-hole for greener pastures?
>>2309324Probably eastern europe or japan/south korea
>>2309299I saved up 430k at 25 y/o (lucky through investing, cashed out entirely) and I'm semi-retiring to eastern europe. I come from a STEM background so I'll get some remote job based in America, if I make more than 20k usd/yr (laughable wage) I'm set. Or maybe get a masters and work in Europe. I'm sick of living in suburban hell America. Wasting hours every day driving and sitting in traffic. Working a non-remote job that bores me. Most people around me are fat mutts. I can't live in the center of a city unless I want to spend my entire wage. It's not worth wasting my youth over this when I can start a family in a cheap and white country.I've estimated my annual cost of living at $1400/month in eastern/central europe. If any anons think this is a bad idea lmk because my flight to europe is in 2 weeks srs
>>2309340not annual, monthly
>>2309340Nice job saving up anon. I'm 26 and I'm about to enlist in the military to get gibs after my service, and be able to coast on that in eastern europe while working remotely. Best of luck to you my man. I think you're making the right call.
>>2309343> I'm 26 and I'm about to enlist in the military to get gibs Oh, you’re gonna get gibbed alright.

>>2308764That is the saddest landscape photo Ive ever seen. You literally convinced me to never go to Kansas in one photo.
>>2308621Seconding Iowa and Nebraska. There's absolutely fucking nothing worth seeing or doing in either of those states.>MissouriRedeemed by Kansas City, St. Louis (admittedly a shithole but still, it's a proper city), the Ozarks and Mark Twain National Forest. Not even one of America's worse states desu.>OklahomaOKC is a decent metro area, plus you've got Tulsa, Indian casinos and easy access to the Dallas metro area. Definitely a low tier state but it has some OK things.>KansasAlmost as bad as Iowa/Nebraska but the fact that it also has Kansas City saves it from being in the absolute shit tier.
>>2309334College retard take, you pozzed sheeple can't handle nature and need to consoooome your daily goyslop in the big shitty, be it fast food, or sportsball, or nightlife. Repulsive
>>2308749>businesses that are technologically twenty years in the past.Tell me anon, how bad is it?I've heard that many American businesses still swipe the magnetic strip on credit cards. Where I live, tap/contactless payment is common for small transactions, and chip & pin is the standard for transactions of all sizes.
>none of the consoomerism found in South Korea or China>young population>good weather year around>btfo both the Chinks and the Mutts, ancient culture complete with temples and other historical sitesWhy aren‘t YOU in Vietnam right now, anon?
>>2308260What do you mean by escort sites?It's possible to get local rates such as 400k (300k for the girl and 100k for the room) but it requires tons of effort and the service will suck as usual in Vietnam
>>2308710It was like fine black hair all over her forehead and cheeks and she had a unibrow hahaha I just remembered but the rest of her was like a very sexy teen I AM SO MAD PHNOM PHENN DON'T MAKE ME RETURN AND TRY TO REDEEM
>>2308427Incidentally this is why so many 30-somethings in my country here in cucked West have shit salaries. They just think they need to ask for a reasonable number when negotiating a raise and hope the boss agrees. That is not how you fucking do it, you gotta be the Asian bazaar hawker. You want 7% raise? You ask for 10-15. Start with 7 and you'll walk out with 2-4 and curse your boss for being stingy ass when he just played you. This is especially important if your job involves dealing with contractors, how the fuck would your boss trust you to haggle with them if you can't even do it when your own salary is on the line? Haggling is a pain to learn in adulthood but boy does it help with a lot of things and traveling in SEA is a great crash course.
In VIETNAM now, haven't fucked anyone. 30s, where did it all go wrong?

Anyone have experience or advice regarding Georgia/Armenia/Azerbaijan? I'm headed out that way next spring for about a month.
>>2306311Baku is extremely modern and wealthy. The EU keeps sucking their dicks because they want gas shipments. Armenia is a shithole.
>>2308226Do the chicks in Armenia have the hots for American husbands?
looks pretty comfyGeorgia:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtIj6ftM3UYArmenia:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNUByRXmjowAzerbaijan:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-Nx-zLhGHw
What is it like travelling in scandinavia as a black man? Is it easy to coom?
>>2308848A guy from Finland here. While Fins are not exactly racist, we don’t have any manner of larger than normal black guy fetish scene here. I would say a black guy will have harder time pulling here than a white guy.Also remember that our women are generally well educated and ware of their rights, so touching without consent is a big no no.And like another anon mentioned, we tend to stick to astablished group of friends. As we really don’t do small talk, you can have a hard time even getting non-sexual company if you come here alone.
>>2309152Oh and forgot to mention: often on this board other anon tell people that all finns are autistic. And comparing our culture to let’s say US… I can totally understand the comparison.So get ready for some communication issues.
>>2309133>memeMy sweet summer child
>>2308896Good looking ones no way. Trash is always available.
You'll have an easy time in Sweden.
>>2309021Marshall Islands Assuming we are excluding places you can’t feasibly fly to or travel to without some kind of unattainable permit
>>2309021american suburbia
>>2309330i'll up you one; canadian suburbia
>>2309021northern ontario or quebec
>>2309080Ok, I gotta call you out on this since you keep spamming this shit.At first I assumed you just like making fun of coomers but it seems like you have some personal vendetta against sex workers. What happened? Did you get ripped off by a whore? Did you fall in love with one and she didn't have any feelings for you?
Is Disney World really so bad? /trv/ rails against it but it seems really popular and I have so many pleasant memories of it as a kid.
>>2308410I see I hear this a lot. Shame because I went in March 2020 right before Covid and had a good time
>>2308410Park reservation system ultimately led to me not going to Disney World this year.If I'm doing a two week theme park holiday with more than enough time to do everything at a slow pace, I don't want to micromanage it and feel rushed around the whole holiday. I want to wake up, decide I want to do Epcot on that day and not worry if it's 11am getting into the park after eating out for breakfast.
>>2308410>>2308833The new fastpass system is pure insanity. I watched a youtube vid explaining it. Can't understand why the plebs haven't revolted yet
>>2307938It's fine. I'm a Floridian so going there isn't as big of a deal. It doesn't seem like something worth going on a flight or long car trip for though. It's good if you need to make a kid or girl happy or if you have enough money to not worry about your wallet getting robbed harder than a Haitian infrastructure fund. The food there is actually pretty nice and fun, if you can afford it. I think the presence of multiple parks makes it a lot more tolerable as a vacation spot because you won't get cucked out of experiencing something you'd travel for because you wanted to take your kids to meet Peter Pan, since you can see foreign stuff at Epcot, and nature stuff at the animal kingdom.
>>2309274Same reason why you didn't revolt when Disney pushed the homosexualization and castration of your children. Because you are cattle and do what you are told
most underrated city in America
>>2309012Ironically the CTa is great in Chicago. Provided you are north loop. Bus or train. No green line. Purple, blue and red line only, north.
Out of Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, and Grand Rapids which is sussin’ and which is bussin’
>>2303811OHNONONONONONO NASHVILLE BROShttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-I_23_OdSaE
>>2308813>Bristol RIB-B-B-B-BASED. I'm from a few towns north of there and my dad grew up in Bristol. They have legendary 4th of July parades, the oldest in the nation. New Castle, DE is nice too, I went on a road trip a few months ago. Just put on bug spray, they have midges which are really annoying
It's always interesting when people recommend Cincinnati, I'm surprised people love it. I imagine those who are so impressed by Cincinnati are from Fort Wayne, Kalamazoo, Topeka or some other shit tier Midwest city. It's really not an interesting city and there is nothing noteworthy nearby, unless you're an autist that loves planes. If you love craft beer or travel extensively in the US, then I'd say it's worth stopping by at some point. It's hilly so there are some nice views and there is some nice architecture. It's not a shithole or worthless place but there is no reason to visit Cincinnati unless you're already in the US and are looking for places to go.Chicago though is a great city. The point the other anon made about it being a filter city I agree with fully. I recommend Chicago to anyone visiting the US, but would never recommend Cincinnati, Grand Rapids or most of the cities in this thread to people who don't already live in burgerland.
>When will Japan open to tourists again?Probably early 2023.>OK, but seriously, when will Japan be open to tourists?2023?

>>2309326China does not care for Japanese in there country. What you are saying is simply not true.China are the biggest spenders when it comes to tourism in japan.
>>2309328I meant the only tourism Japan wants is tourism that isn't Chinese
>>2309319Australians won‘t be let in. Sky high corona cases, the people resent mask wearing and social distancing, and the whole bogan culture is hated here.
>>2309319>implying it wouldn't be US/Western Europe/1-2 SEA countries excluding ChinaAt most I''d expect Scandinavia to make the list as well, but that's doubtful.>>2309328The Chinese spend most of their money at Chinese owned businesses and hotels, they're complete fucking nuisances with no real upside.
>>2309332good point was only going by covid infection numbers.>>2309331I still think they prefer Chinese of western.>>2309338agreed they are, but still spending more then western tourists.
And I'm getting tired of it. Redpill me the following cities:>Stockholm>Copenhagen>Amsterdam I'm a software engineer and would be able to work remotely. Which city would it be easiest for an American to adjust to?
>>2309313because they came up as the safest
>>2309314Safety in most of the world really depends on your lifestyle. I don't go to bars or clubs so I'm safe in 98% of the world apart from scams or pickpockets. Southeast Asia is very safe especially in the wealthier communities. I don't like huge cities because they're full of the countries' trash. Argentina and southern Brazil are safe in the wealthier communities. Porto Alegre is kind of a shithole despite its name. Colombia is a shithole especially after Covid.
>>2309314large swaths of the USA are just as safe if not saferyeah the USA is in decline. nobody with two brain cells to rub together could possibly disagree. but keep in mind this is decline from being uncontested top dog of the globe by basically every single fucking metric. europeans basically faint when they hear how much americans get paid and what the price of homes are, don't let 4chan memes fool you.and if you think can run from whatever political boogeyman you're afraid of in america by going to those places? you have another thing coming.
You’re fucking brain dead. If you aren’t geomaxxing western income for cheap COL and cooming/getting a local wife there is no point in leaving America. Just go to a cheaper or different location america is huge and diverse
>>2309293If you work remotely, you may as well just move to a super rural area of the United States. Easily can find a house or a place to rent for less than $1000. All the cities you listed will fuck you in the wallet. The USA is safe in the rural areas, particularly if you have a gun and a yappy dog.
I'm going to Barcelona to visit family in a few weeks (spur of the moment kinda trip), flying from the US. What should a US looking guy do there? What should I eat (I love seafood)? I've never been to Spain and my Spanish is very rusty. Will be there end of august and early september
>>2307025>What do you do?i look on distintas . net for a fine lady of the evening
>>2307626>>2307635Excellent advice, I'll hopefully be able to reference this thread when I'm actually there. Love the food ideas and suggestions as well, as well as the clothes suggestions. I like to think I have *some* sense of style, I just opt not to use it in favor of a spartan lifestyle that is outdoorsy, but I can clean up. Thanks for the reccs. Regarding drinking, I've often times had social drinking quickly become problem drinking, so that's why I abstain. I might make an exception for this because it's vacation and I don't have to get plastered, but it's not a necessity for me. I can have a good time without alcohol.
>>2307857Alcohol culture in Catalonia is very different to Anglo countries. Having a couple of drinks with meals and maybe a couple at a bar/club afterwards is totally normal; getting properly shitfaced is done by alcoholics and shitty tourists. The peer pressure just isn’t there.
>>2307876That's actually very good to know, and sounds like a WILD change from where I live (a place where binge drinking 4-7 times a week is considered normal).
>>2306853As a rule of thumb, if it comes in a box it's trashy. Still, if you don't puke everywhere and act like a retard no one will pay attention to you
