I had a dream (03/17/2024). I'm going somewhere on the train in it. I was able to capture one moment. Help me find a similar place (approximate location is Ukraine).
Im about to book a flight to London.I will be there for 5 days. My budget for the whole trip will be about 700 - 1000 EUR incl. accomodation.Ive never been to London or UK in general so Im up for tourist stuff like sightseeing and local cuisine or street food. Also ideas for nightlife would be appreciated.Any recommendations?
>>2630020just for fun>>2630036thank you anon, i will try some of those things
See if you can fit a West End show into your budget. You could see a classic like Lion King or Les Mis, or check out reviews of newer, smaller shows. I promise you won’t regret it.
leave london in literally any direction except directly north, hire a car and see real England.I would recommend inland kent, sussex- brighton and the coastline is very nice, cotswolds and somerset - bath is an old roman town worth seeing, and obviously oxford
>>2630036Appreciate this. About to spend a week in Covent Garden and it'll be my first time in London.
>>2630005Got the river, you can get a 2 hr boat up to Kingston, goes through central London, past Eel Pie island, loads of cool buildings to see or take the Clipper boat down to Greenwich or even further to Thames Barrier. You can tick off half your London landmarks in one go, plus who doesn't want to go under Tower Bridge. Both costs less than £20 and have a bar on board. Ive done it loads of times when my family visit, always good fun.
i am going to Montenegro for a week, any tips on what to do, which cities to avoid, etc?
>>2626064avoid the gypsy hood in podgorica
>>2630836Avoid podgorica alltogether. t. former resident of herceg novi
>>2626576This, focus on the Boka Kotorska bay, forget about the rest. Visit the Savina monastery, hike through the Savina forest, climb the walls in Kotor, get a cup of coffee near the sea in Perast in the morning... There's a lot to see if you have time
More like mount a negro('s BBC)

Spent 5 hours at Fushimi Inari in Kyoto today. Very peaceful (in most areas) and enjoyed taking the dirt paths. Didn't allow the obnoxious Chinese/Filipino/Thai tourists to ruin my moment.
>>2632416Also, why is it that whenever i speak japanese at a shop/restaurant/train booth person/ literally anywhere that they respond in limited english? my japanese is limited too but im in your country let me speak your language. Its kinda demoralizing. This is the first Asian country ive visited, but everywhere else ive travelled always obliges you in the native language when you make an effort.
>>2632418Skill issue, you are probably mispronouncing things, if you can say the words quickly and phonetically sound correct they would probably reply to you in japanese, while i only know the basics i am confident in pronounciation and have japanese friends who have confirmed im saying things correctly and each time ive visited its rare i get an english reply unless im confused
>>2632439Nah this is bullshit. My Japanese is shit. My pronunciation is shit. Whether or not a Japanese person speaks to me in English or Japanese is entirely dependent on that individual Japanese person's willingness to speak English and not a reflection of my Japanese ability. Most of the time if the conversation is initiated in Japanese it will stay in Japanese no matter how much I fuck up. If it's initiated in English it will stay in English no matter how many times I respond in Japanese.
Do you like Belarus?Went to Minsk in 2015.Clean streets, no bums or drunks, no 'diversity'. No annoying politics as it's a dictatorship so your politics don't define everything in your life like it does here. Nobody makes any money but they still lived better than most here as their tiny salaries still allowed for living independently instead of jewish slavery. I was told rural Belarus is fucked because of Chernobyl and their pension pays nothing but the Canadian national pension pays fuck all too, not enough to afford rent anywhere but a crack shack.
>it's a dictatorship so your politics don't define everything in your life like it does herelollmao even
>>2629902I'm sure it's pretty nice if you can visit and leave any time you want.
It's fine. Just avoid visiting when they'll overthrow lukashenka
>>2629902>I was told rural Belarus is fucked because of ChernobylRETARD ALERT. Chernobyl is in Ukraine. And anyway, why would it be fucked?
>>2631177Chernobyl is right on the Ukraine - Belarus border and when it blew up the wind was blowing just so, carrying a lot of the radioactivity over Belarus (and adjoining bits of Russia). main ill effects were quite a lot of thyroid cancer. some small areas are still uninhabitable due to cesium
>decide to get a fresh haircut before my first ever vacation>barber ignores what i asked and straight up fucks my shit up>have to spend the entire trip i booked and paid money for and used paid leave on looking like a dumbassWould homicide be justifiable at this point
>>2630624As someone who recently paid for a 75 dollar haircut with tip, they’re absolutely is a difference in skill level of barbers. Gay men are extremely good at stylish hair
>>2630481Just style it a bit, you fucking crybaby.
>>2630481you look like a faggot
>>2630481You look like an Italian kid who doesn't want to inherit the family restaurant, and maybe even work there unpaid/underpaid.
It's been a month since I last saw a barber in the US and I have noticeable scars on my face from where he tried to line up my facial hair. I genuinely considered suing for costs associated with treatment.
>Why yes of course I visit only the capital city when travelling to a country
>Passport never heard of them?>Why yes, I've been to over 500 countries
There are Moortuguese egg tarts (蛋撻) at fast food joints in the far western deserts of China because of 澳门。

Travel has only reaffirmed my belief that the United States is the best country in existence. Every other country is noticeably inferior. And no, I'm not joking.
>>2621107That's Garmisch? Goddamn the European subcontinent is so baller sometimes
>>2630457You can spin the story however you want but the reality is the entire driving force behind you fleeing the US is because you need to get your little pecker touched
You can't even walk in USA's cities and not being see as a weird/homeless.
>>2630743>>2630745As an american I can recall one instance related to this guys story. I was visiting some family in a small town in a flyover state. I had multiple family members who lived in the same town. They were all hanging out at one relatives house and I decided to go back to my aunts. Probably a 2-3 minute walk. All you would have to do is go up the 3 block street and turn left and you were there. One of my cousins seriously asked how I got back on my own. Left me fucking speechless. The tone of the question being asked as if it was some insurmountable task. It was a little hot but not too bad. They acted like I was crazy. God forbid not having air conditioning for 5 minutes.
How is it post-Millei? Can you still get good deals with the USD or is the blue rate cucked now?
>>2630833To be honest there just something about Spanish speaking people that is off. I think this stems from a Spanish-influenced culture. Spaniards only care about their family and friends and literally do not interact or care with the outside world beyond that, that is often coupled with a certain arrogance and dismissal and disinterest towards anything foreign. Even they are in a different country they quickly form a group between eachother and refuse to integrate or show even the slightest interest in the culture of the country they're visiting, they'll try to make it seem as much as if they were at home and when things aren't like that, they become butthurt. I've started observing this with Spanish exchange students bit then I realized this is just how Spanish people are in general. The Portuguese are way more chill and open for some reason, but Spaniards often feel like this small buzzing annoying band of gypsies sorry I just can't overlook it
>>2630926Don't get me wrong this attachment to the in-group goes for most of the Latins but French are way more open in my experience and Italians tend to display more tact and polite behavior than Spaniards
>>2629715I had a chuckle too
>>2630910Any particular national park in the Argentina Patagonia?
>>2630833You did not miss much. Asado is shit. It's so dry, so flavourless. Asado makes me want to turn vegetarian, because they kill cows only to waste their meat. I had it many times and I never want to have it again. Argentines really don't know what they're doing with the meat, the heat, the flavour etc. straight up, asado tastes exactly like shitty barbeques we have in Eastern Europe to have something to eat with beer. Morsilla, matambre, sausages of course, we have all of those here. Also, I just don't know how you can like asado as a cut. It's literally all bone.
anyone been? any recommendations for towns to stay in, where to go, where to avoid etc?I can't drive and want to stay somewhere with a train station, can take bus for excursions etc
Where in the US are reasonably cheap monthly rentals? How do people afford hotel rooms here?
>>2630903$300/week is prolly the going rate for most budget places these days.Most people who live in motels are ugly and depressed, the rejects of society. Often they work temp jobs or collect disability.Laughlin, Nevada has some of the cheapest rooms in America. I stayed at the Pioneer for $33/night last winter, it was better than I expected for the price. Cheapest weekly rate I paid was $170 in Ely, Nevada just after the coronavirus lockdown. Most places were shutting down hotels, but White Pine County declared them an essential business. Ely is a rough place surrounded by vast desolation.
>>2630943>$300/week is prolly the going rate for most budget places these days.Yeah I don't understand how the losers of society afford this for more than a few weeks. There are giga chads in Europe grandfathered into amazing, centrally located apartments for 1/3 of that.
>>2630881Mexicali is a shithole albeit
Monthly rentals are expensive everywhere now but Midwest, Rust Belt, and Appalachia are the cheapest.
>>2630943>Laughlin, Nevada has some of the cheapest rooms in America. I stayed at the Pioneer for $33/night last winter, it was better than I expected for the price.That's only because it's the off season. Laughlin is alright as a stopping place but the rooms will go to 150+ during summer weekends (boating season) and when a country music concert is happening. The $30 rooms attract a ton of Mexicans and blacks from LA but rooms are still better than a shitty motel run by pajeets. Biggest red flag in the US hotel industry is a lobby that smells like Indian food.
How safe is Africa?
>>2628301Ghana is safe
>>2628301no
>>2628578Mexico is safe albeit please come here and spend your money
>>2628322odd to see this sort of truth spoken
Gambia, Ghana, Togo, Benin (republic), Botswana, Rwanda, Gabon, Namibia, Comoros, Seychelles, Cape Verde, São Tome & Principe, Mayotte and Addis-Abena in Ethiopia.Clearly most of the people in this thread know little about Africa as there are many safe, stable countries and territories there where you can travel stress free if you just don't act stupid.
Is Ireland the worst country in Western Europe? Been living here for over a decade and I thought people were begruding me for leaving the States but ever since becoming an adult, the cost of living is insane.> Highest rental costs in Europe> Worst transportation > Most expensive for alcohol> 6th cloudiestWhy would anyone move to this kip when you less money can go a long way in mainland Europe or the other Anglophone nations?
>>2630807Yes anon you should do all those things and more you utter retard. Just don't be touristy it's just like going to a rural area anywhere else.
>>2628629GDP is inflated, but the median after-tax salary for Ireland cities is $3500. That's among the highest in the world.
>>2630807Kerry people are angry little leprechauns, if you want a nice cozy summer in Ireland go to Galway.
>>2628616>Most expensive for alcoholSeriously why is Irish beer cheaper in Spain?
>>2630956It's funny because the moment the GDP was contracting (because the MNCs weren't performing as well especially pharma) the Irish press and establishment went>oh noooooo GDP isn't a good measure! Here look at MMD instead it's such a better indicator guys!
>normal levels of tourists>then a few years of chinese tourists everywhere>died down a bit>now covid>now indians and arabs AND chinese tourists everywhere>also EVERYONE is travelling because "muh missed out during covid" Do you think there are way too many tourists everywhere you go now or is it just me?
Avoid tourist traps or "places to go" and you're golden. Currently in Japan, saw less than 10 tourists in a month.Chinks and Pajeets are concentrated in 0.1% of the countries, if you're seeing them that's your problem.>>2630937I've been living in Switzerland for 35 years and I don't even know where I should go to see that, maybe Lauterbrunnen ?I live in pic related and for some reason no one comes visit it and it's 99% white.Come next time it's worth it.
>>2630746Don't bother on 4chuz. It's a bunch of mestizos larping as le white master race. White people all sparkle in the sun, every one else EVIL BAD >:((From my experience the British and Australians are the worst.
>>2631029looks nice.Yeah the Lauterbrunnen and Grindewald area mainly. Interlaken has slightly less tourists but on the other hand has dozens of ethnic shops run by imported Tamils and Muslims I never visited the French part of Switzerland, which perhaps might be in better shape.
>>2630866I went to japan last september and the funny thing i noticed is that any shrine/park/castle that require an entrance fee is usually free of chinese groups.you can hear them before you see them since they are always in group being loud in public, but i drastically noticed close to no noise once i entered anywhere that required you to pay despite seeing many of them roaming the free areas.They also seems to invade any pharmacy buying shit tons of medicines, i guess Chinese medicine can't be trusted.I despise them where i live because i work retail 20min away from the airport and these guys never tells me the basic human things like hello/please/thanks/goodbye, they are rude as fuck, they just show me a picture of what they want on their phones and that's it.Every time i mention that around me, people just try to defend them saying "they are tourists they aren't used to it", on which planet you don't even say polite words?I don't get why we get shit on for not learning other countries custom instantly but chinese get a free pass for being treated like special retard kids.
>>2630437Travel during october and march.Problem solved.
Is there anywhere I could move with 17K USD and IT experience and be able to live?I am willing to learn other langauges other than english, currently speak spanish pretty well and "Some" german and italianwas looking at eastern europe like poland or something but not against moving to SEA, getting a lot of recommendations for thailand. how far could i go with this small small small amount of money?before the ukraine war i was planning on buying a shack in belarus and then moving to minsk and renting an apartment and keeping working my remote helpdesk job, because i'd be a top earner in that country instead of bottom 40% here in the usa.anyways, i have no delusions about the future, i just want to live out the rest of my days in peace, preferably without being robbed, stabbed, bombed, conscripted, etc.i'd also like to be able to afford food, and america isn't an ideal place for this anymore; i can't even afford to "live in a van down by the river" as they used to say.basically i just want to reroll and be able to work, eat, sleep, and have about 17k usd to start my "new life" with.
Balkans would be possible. It's very cheap, growing business market, much easier to get residency than EU if you are a single foreigner, and while you have to learn a new language they are all mostly similar to each other except Albanian but many of them speak Italian anyway. The one thing I ask is that if you go there learn the language, buy from local businesses, and adapt. Don't try to make some little nomad town. Don't open up nomad businesses unaffordable for locals. Don't take away from the community.
Poland might be too expensive for 17k USD considering that you would not have access to the same low cost opportunities as the locals, 17k is 1420 a month, a first-world flat will cost like 600-700 in a regional centre, groceries will cost like 300 bucks a month.
>>2630197well i was in-person helldesk then desktop support then network admin / system analystthen the 'rona happened and i got set to remotethen everybody got put on furlough / laid offbut i started doing remote helldesk during that erakept meaning to get back into the upper level stuff but its hard to get hired as a white male so i just accept the situation
>>2630204I agree balkans is cool. Haven't been to SEA but imagine it's alot more normal then over there. It is pretty old school and traditional in some places though.Might not be for everyone. Also cool nature picrel.
>>2630235remote help desk jobs are easy to get. one that will let you move internationally? doubtful. build up more experience and skills and it's a possibility. if you don't want to get stabbed, just more to rural midwest and work remotely from there.
