Why would I be bitter? England has a much richer history than Scotland, far more to see and do, and a good variety of towns and cities with old and modern architecture alike. And desu no I don't really get the attachment to 'the outdoors' in Scotland, given it's just barren hills. There is literally no native fauna of interest, and even England - as densely populated as it is and for all the nature it lacks - has a broader range of habitats, including some that're virtually unique globally.

Is it possible to just drive around and see cool mountains and stay in small towns for a night or two each
thats what im looking for
also will the weather be too bad this time of year?
this will be my first solo travel and dont have a lot of time off work so hoping its possible to do most of the island in maybe 10 days?
thanks

I'm currently planning a trip to China and would be interested to browse some travel content.

Unfortunately, the YT search results are filled with cringeworthy self-obsessed vloggers and CCP shills.

Is there any actually an interesting China content out there?

I'm thinking of something like SerpentZA before he went off the rails. More classy would be good too.

Yes but it also depends if you have 3 weeks and want to see a lot of Europe there's nothing wrong with only seeing Bratislava or Vienna or Prague and moving on. He said "European" vacation not Italian or French
>>
>>2581978
You liked London but hated Rome? We would not get along. Rome is easily one the best vacation destinations on earth. Every street has something extraordinary to see on it, a fountain, a church, ruins, a giant plaza, an outdoor market, a fortress. You can wander the streets for days and not see it all.

For a first trip to Europe, I do like the idea someone suggested of doing Prague, Vienna. Bratislava and Budapest. But honestly if you're doing 3 weeks, you could easily do those and also do Italy. Rome, Bologna, Florence, Verona and Venice are all connected by a high speed train.

Let's be fucking real bro. Madrid is cool, but it's about 20 rungs down the ladder from Rome. There is no equivalent in Madrid to the Roman Coliseum, the Pantheon, St Peter's Basilica, or the Roman Forum. You could add a few dozen more Roman attractions to that list. If someone was visiting Europe for the first time and they want to see impressive historic shit, comparing Madrid to Rome is laughable. The only advantage of Madrid might be that it's slightly cheaper and that might appeal to some impoverished third-world Russian backpackers who were on a $10 a day budget.

>snowsports
>not expensive
Aint happening, you're going to spend about $120-200 a day per person to go skiing, much more if you go to some super high end spots, and that's just for the day pass. Hotel, meals, transportation, and maybe even gear rental is not factored into that price range at all.
>good spots?
Colorado and Utah are the ways to go. Salt Lake City already hosted a winter olympics too so they've got the olympic park available for tourism but Colorado has better air and livelier outdoors/small towns.

If you want to genuinely forego skiing/snowboarding (why would you if she's never seen snow before) then you can go practically anywhere, but then it depends on budget and desire to go to X place than anything else. You also want to wait a while and go around Jan/Feb, not a lot of snow (if any) yet.

>>
>>2582489
are you planning to drive, fly, or fly then drive?

i would look at what your flight options are, see what ski resorts are reachable from the better flight options
you of course dont need a mountain resort to enjoy the snow, but more guarantee

if you dont want to be stuck in the snow and want an option to escape it maybe lake tahoe?

if you are driving the closest to you are the smoky mountains, there are some ski resorts, but if you drove all that way you could drive a little further too

The reality is that due to politics and the internet most of the "west" is homogenised culturally. Your experience in Australian cities will be almost the same as any other western city (including most of europe)

If this was 15 years ago I'd say Aus had it hands down for lifestyle and ease of life, but wages have not fended of inflation, and the weight of importance of realestate as wealth, coupled with the Howard government's hamstringing of apprentiship schemes has left us with a massive bottle neck.

If you come here chiselled and care free the chiselled and carefree lot will swoop you into their part of Australia and you'll have a fantastic time lounging at their beach houses and working in their cafes. If not go pick fruit and live in a tent. If you wanna come here and work white collar it is tye same the world over.

You can pick the chilies out of your meal, LOL. Nobody's forcing you to eat them.
>so hot humans have no reason for living in
Tell this to the folks who live in Arizona or Texas, LOL. Southeast Asia in winter has a very comfy climate if you have great circulation and little body fat. It takes some acclimation at first if you are coming from a cold dry place. However, A/C to sleep comfortably is non-negotiable.
Hottest temp I've seen here in PH is about 91 or 92 F. I walk for many kilometers a day and very rarely drip sweat, even on sunny days. There is often a bit of breeze as well. Biggest complaint is the extreme noise level and clouds of exhaust pollution along the roads, which has given me a phlegm problem.
The dewpoint in Bangkok is currently 65 F, which is very dry by Thailand standards. Usually it is in the low to mid 70s in winter. Here in Angeles it is currently 72 F, somewhat humid but still very tolerable. By comparison, the US Gulf Coast in summertime regularly sustains a dewpoint of 77 F or higher, with last summer enduring weeks of dewpoints as high as 83 F. Anything over 75 F is classified as "miserable" by weatherspark; in practice, it means that sweat only accumulates on your skin and doesn't cool you off.

like Mexico spicy or worse?
>>
>>2582579
The red chilies they have here in the Philippines are fucking gnarly. In Mexico, chiles are blended into salsas, where their spiciness balances perfectly with the tomatillos and other ingredients and enormously enhances the flavor of whatever food the salsa is applied to. Here, the chili peppers are either diced and mixed in with the food, or passed out whole with the meal.
Mexicans are consummate chile connoisseurs, and the best varieties of chile on Earth are all from Mexico or former Mexican territories.
Asians were introduced to chili peppers a few hundred years ago, and have yet to master their proper use outside of masochistic chili-munching practices.
BTW, red chiles burn the tongue and asshole and often manifest indigestion, while green chiles only burn the throat and aid in digestion of meats.

Classic Mediterranean features, typically dark brunette hair ranging from straight to wavy to curly, very lovely to speak with and helpful.
If you're looking for sex though, it's also that typical Mediterranean culture of oversexualised men constantly competing for women who're culturally enforced to not put out easily, leading to most men (local and foreign) to fucking the tourists who come here instead. There was a study in 2016 which supported this too.

I'm >>2581123. Appreciate the explanation.

I have to say congrats, you've clearly put in the work and effort and you're living what many weebs here would aspire for. I don't even want to move to Japan, I just had a huge phase where I was seeing if it was possible to beat the current gig I've got now whilst living in Asia (primarily HK / China / Taiwan / Thailand). I pretty much ruled Japan out after reading way too many reports of devs who moved there warning about the long hours and 996 culture similar to China.

I think it's possible if you make it to FAANG and internally transfer or another large company but again, you have to be seriously talented (or Indian) to land those roles which fortunately I'm neither of.

For example my current role I take home £4.3k a month after tax and I work maybe an hour a day on average, fully remote, one meeting in the morning video off for 20 mins.. so on a purely financial standpoint I couldn't justify the move. Now I know you probably earn a lot less than that and you probably save a lot less per month, but your quality of life is probably tenfold better than me in the UK, and I'm arguably in the top percentile for my age.

How much is your rent? and how much do you save per month? are you extremely frugal or do you actually have enough to live aswell as save?

Very few people are actually digital nomads. I can't find any statistics but you probably number in the hundreds of thousands, a few million at best.
You're better off asking in a dedicated forum.
I flirted with the idea of becoming one but I gave up when I realized how much hassle you need to go through, plus these types of jobs don't really represent opportunities since they're typically only accessible to those who are already well-off.

Used to be safe as the irregular flare-ups of regional tensions were usually in places you'd have no interest in. Not sure how the situation is nowadays, I expect there's heightened military presence and there'll be more checkpoints in the aftermath of the war. Going by reviews from local agencies, most of the north appears to be open to visitors again. Should be safe all in all. Poverty in Harrar can be shocking and the place can feel rough around the edges due to homeless people high on qat, but locals are generally friendly. I enjoyed it in the end.
>I've always wanted to see lalibela.
Stomped all over my lukewarm expectations and left them sprawling and bewildered in the dust. Top tier, try to visit a weekend. Hit the Friday or Saturday market, go out with the locals if you like, then on Sunday visit the churches for mass.

Eastern Africa has serious shit going on. Especially Kenya. They are having massive riots and instability over food and wages (basically nobody on the bottom rung of society can afford to eat).

A bunch of long term white residents of Kenya have already up and left. Malindi and mtwapa are currently ghost towns since most of the mazungu left during covid and then now because of the peasant revolt.

Idk it might not be affecting the tourism sector but take a closer look if you are traveling along and rural. Lots of extremely angry and desperately poor and hungry people about.

They simply bought through an intermediary and paid double the price. The black market always delivers when there is money to be made.

The rednecks would pay with CashApp or similar.

Where it is illegal, the guy who had the 420 connection was always the center of a social circle, which is what made it so much fun. You smoke far less when you are puff puff passing, so the light & goofy social phase predominates.
Now with it being legal, all that is gone. People buy top-quality weed from a dispensary and don't stop puffing until they are blitzed.

Crazy how making things illegal makes people use their brain more and subsequently making them smarter for a certain situation. While making things legal makes people more braindead.
