>>2654130>Which places have you been to so far, liked most?I have visited>Japan>Spain>Hungary>FinlandThey were all pretty good. Finland's culture reminded me of Japan. They like to keep to themselves. Budapest and Barcelona are top tier cities. Japan is still the best though simply because I am a weeb and I like anime

Is Bath worth a visit or is it a tourist trap?
It's worth a day trip, very touristy though.
>>2653793Worth a trip if you are into history, and is a handy place from which to then go see the stuff on the Salisbury plane.
Ignore the security guard edition. Let's get back to discussing your Philippine travel related inquiries and opinions here.

I see a post with an iPhone filename? I hide it. I glance at a post and see it's just talking shit about me? I hide it and forget any of the words I just read and move on. Surely this faggot is going to find something better to do with his time, right? Filters help too.

Best places to visit in the Philippines for a single male with disposable income?Trying to decide if I want to add the Philippines to my SEA travel list.I love food and culture.
You can make it here. Schools are all privately owned, you don't even need a tefl, just bullshit a resume and dress nice. Felon? Failure? It doesn't matter, you can start fresh here.
They are so young and tight but the bruised elbows and knees makes their skin look bad which is a turn off.
>>2654138Who's that?
>>2654143Working Cambodian kids.
But I'm not a felon or a failure, actually I have a well paid job already. Why would I want to go to a third world country to become an English teacher? It this some sort of pedo thing?

And why is it the New York magic stairs?
>>2646651Point Dume in Malibu is beautiful. So is Ventura. LA is really just for driving through, looking at through the windows, maybe visiting a museum or two, and going someone else better. The N. Cali, Oregon and Washington coastlines have a lot of natural beauty, if that's your thing, but I would avoid the cities.
>>2641552we had one of these as a kid in Livingston central Scotland and it was amazing

I actually thought the Mona Lisa was nice.Yes it was annoying that there was a massive crowd of people taking photos of it at all times, but still, every fag likes to say it's shit to make themselves look like le heckin art expert.
Going to travel there in July with my parents and brother for my pa's 60th birthday. Any recommendations?
>>2651402I was not bored in Vienna, moron, read my post again - I'm referring to HallstattI got bored because the weather was shit in Salzkammergut and there's not much to do
White people with chinese gfs embarras everyone.
>>2650233Hallstatt is such a (Chinese) tourist trap. The salt mines can be quite interesting but thats about itHowever, the region (Salzkammergut) itself with its many lakes is really beautiful and very nice spot to go hiking
>>2651402It's 3 times as expensive in Vienna as it is in Prague or Budapest. You get really spoiled drinking 1 euro beers in Prague only to show up in Vienna and pay California prices for going out to a bar at night. The restaurants all only serve two things: chicken that has been smashed with a hammer and deep fried in corn flakes, and pork sausage. The main part of town is very pretty and clean, but you can walk it in an afternoon. The two things that Vienna has are the opera, and a bunch of museums. I hate opera and I don't think most people go on vacation to walk around and look at paintings for 2 weeks. You can't swim in the river because it's too dirty. The weather sucks for 8 months of the year. It's flat, unlike a lot of Austria that is mountainous and beautiful. The people are stuffy and uptight like the Germans. I'll take Prague any day over Vienna.
I want to go camping this summer (bike tour along the Inn river), I messaged Campingplatz 2 weeks ago and still no answers? are they still not open?also do you know a website for booking Campingplatz?
>an island smaller than California >produces so much unrelenting kino in so many different aspects Why do they mog so hard?

I need to go back bros, maybe I will be there at the end of the year for karissmasu
>>2654153I just came back from my month April trip. Already bored back in the UK, not really much to do here compared to Japan. I'm planning for a November trip now. That's keeping my motivation alive and depression away
14.8 seconds of airtime edition>Last Thread: >>2637085>What is this thread? Why are there two generals?/rcg/ was initially created as a way for the roller coaster enthusiasts on here to discuss all things roller coasters and theme parks.

>>2654112>continuedCan't recommend offsite examples. I've only 'recently' stayed at the Maingate Lakeside which was insanely cheap with a great location but a bit rundown. For a "a hotel is just somewhere to sleep" type person, probably not good for families. Pools in most hotels are rarely ultra busy but obviously watch out for huge resorts than only have 1 small pool.Onsite I'd recommend Pop Century. Skyride access (queues look huge in mornings but move at a walking pace so you're not in them long) to Epcot and Studios. 3 pools (albeit with no slides), two of which are usually quieter. Better upkeep than the All Stars and possibly the best Disney bang:buck resort. >>2654111HTTYD is Hagrids but higher up and without the SFX elements, DK looks to be like a slower wild mouse although the lever effect of the arm could make it give unexpected airtime.
>>2654120I was thinking of staying at Floridays. It looks affordable but has an arcade, a big pool, ect. Plus everything looks big and updated. I'd love to stay on site but its out of price range.
>>2654120I called for pricing over the phone and she forced me to make a "profile" and was asking me a ton of personal information. I told her I'll just check prices elsewhere. She was asking literally everything about me. Customer service has gone to absolute shit.
>>2654112Even the cheap one is way too expensive for me
>>2654112
Planning on trying to visit Egypt in late May to early June. I know I need a visa and my passport is up to date, but is there anything else I should be aware of or reserve before going? Or is the situation in the bordering countries too intense? No itinerary yet either. I appreciate any help.
>>2650948Fuck, also forgot>JuneBe prepared for it being FUCKING HOT. Like, no joke. I used to get headaches on a 15 minute walk to work in Cairo in summer. The combination of heat, pollution and noise is a killer. Egyptians laugh at tourists wondering around in the heat.Make sure you wear loose clothes which cover your skin, and stock up on water, especially if you're doing an outdoor activity. Seriously plan your days around the temperature. it's no joke. Try and leave the city wanderings to the evening and get taxis around. Be aware that hostel accommodation may not have AC, too, which may mean sleepless nights.I don't usually drink goyslop, but a glass bottle of coke (they pronounce it 'bebsi' as they can't say the 'p' sound) from the local shops are fucking delicious and are a welcome treat on hot days.
>>2653705Just withdraw shit in an ATM as you need it. Google which ones have small/no fees.I think I spent around £1000 (gf spent the same too) for a 25 day trip 2 years ago (without flights), this included 4 nights all inclusive in Hurghada and a Nile Cruse. You can cut costs by:>picking up booze in Drinkies or duty-free stores (bars are expensive relative to everything else)>picking up snacks and water in the supermarket>Eating street food like koshari and not being scared to eat local stuff. Just look where people are eating. Acclimatise to cuisine ASAP and assume you'll be sick towards the beginning.>Avoiding flights. Coaches are generally fine (i.e. Gobus), and the train to the south isn't that bad. >Don't speak to anybody on the street, ever. Walk with purpose and don't think you're being rude by blanking people. (Say 'la shukran' (no thanks) firmly at most).>Learn the numbers!!! >Make sure your cash game is good. Have a wad of small notes handy to reduce chances of getting gipped on change. I.e. spend big notes in supermarkets. If you don't know how much something is, give them 10EGP.>Be aware you might get gipped on currency conversions. Some faggot on our Nile cruise demanded we pay in USD and gave us some utterly retarded rateIf you are thinking of a Nile Cruise, you can book boats in Luxor/Aswan on the spot. It's actually quite fun visiting all the boats, too. I think we paid $70/night with meals and excursions included. Have a backup plan in case this doesn't work out due to full-booked, only expensive shit left, etc.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
Ah, also, make sure you have cash for the visa sticker on arrival. It's 25GBP/USD/EUR afaik. I.e. actually paying in these 3 currencies. I recommend cash as you may end up having problems with your bank card, no internet, etc.If you're flying into Sinai (i.e.Sharm) your country probably has visa-free access for Sinai, but you'll NEED to queue in a separate place in arrivals to get a visa sticker which allows you to visit the rest of Egypt. Do not cross passport control without this sticker. If you land in Cairo, you obviously can't make this mistake.Get a local sim card asap. Many people run services through Whatsapp. Download Arabic on Google Translate so you can use it without internet. Also download Maps of where you're going.I never had problems with Uber, but I've heard some drivers try and do shit like cancel and ask you to pay in cash. Don't take part in any silly games, and be firm. Just leave and report if they try anything whatsoever. The metro works perfectly fine. Just make sure you don't get in the women's carriage if you're not a tranny. A way to cut costs is to get the metro somwhere (avoid traffic, too) then taxi the final part. Stops:>Where all the lines cross = the centre, close to Tahrir Square.>Zamalek = island in Nile which is the "western district" with lots of embassies and hotels.>Mar Girgis = Coptic Cairo, which is kino (and short taxi journey away from Museum of Egyptian Civilization )>Bab El Shaariya = the absolutely clusterfuck of chaos which is Old Islamic Cairo.>Ramsis = train station>Giza = for the actual huge city of Giza, not just the pyramidsComment too long.

>>2650948I did an emo tours private tour through Cairo which was fantastic and got a driver to take me through the Sinai where I stayed the night in Saint Catherine's and then crossed the border into Israel.My advice is to get out of Cairo ASAP. Absolutely awful polluted city. See the museum, the pyramids, old Cairo and gtfo.
Do need to pre-apply for a visa using the governments online site or do I just get it when I arrive in Egypt? I’m American, is there a chance I get denied?
tell me EVERYTHING you know about this countryIn particular:-is it going to be too hot and rainy in late may - early june-are there giant spiders
>>2650805I fucked and fucked these hookersthose gang behind it should be gunned to death by myself becuz i belong to dang guo system and jungongjiao systemFuck those parlors real fuck themAll hail those bitch test of Examination yuanand 8 Gonggu banks
>>2651114It will be cloudy, windy, and rainy most of the time. Summer is really the only time to go there and even then you kind of have to get lucky for it to be a sunny tropical day.>>2651067It's fast and easy enough to get around the country. I'd say spend your weekends in Taipei, weekday make day trips and a couple two night excursions elsewhere.
>>2651346The police works with the gangsters lol
>>2646214oh no
Never had ant gangster problems in Taiwan and I was balls deep in the nightlife.I suspect if you spend money and actually enjoy what is offered as intended you will be left alone.

What’s a good place to drink in Hanoi by the streets, near a body of water? Like by a river or lake. Do people sit along Hoan Kiem and have beers there? Or do you need to go to a proper bar.

Hello, in Malaysia you get an almost unlimited visa in Malaysia with my passport. And if you have more than $100000, you can even get an unlimited visa.I'm 30 years old and relatively healthy, so I thought I could try to live there for a few months or even years. How realistic is it to survive on $800-$1000 a month in Malaysia? Does anyone have experience with the country? Can I smoke weed there?
I am a bodybuilder who needs a proper sleep and no to live in a country where minarets are playing shit out during the morning or people starve entire day to fill themselves after it's dark. Mudslim countries are shit even for those who don't drink or smoke like me.
>>2653979not really relevant to malaysia. it is a very segregated country. the areas that are mainly chinese don't have many mosques. my house is in a gated area that is almost all chinese and although there is a mosque in the very far distance, it is barely audible and is usually drowned out by traffic
>>2653505Unless you grow your own expect the worst weed you will ever find in your life. Most weed is brick weed (prensado) and I've even found filaments of cotton in it once. "Real" weed (flor) has always been somewhat elusive to find and is around USA prices, if not more. The weed economy is so bizarre considering you can get verrry good bud in neighboring countries like Colombia and Peru for like 2 or 3 usd per gram, and the locals are quite tolerant of it. Shrooms and ayahuasca are legal in br though
>>2653997>neighboring countries like Colombia and Perudude i think you've been smoking a bit too much
>>2653992Do you recommend any cities/areas? I am tired of stoners and degenerates in Thailand but I truly love food here, gyms, climbing places and price:quality ration when it comes to apartments.
What places have you visited, or want to, that you'd describe as a shithole, whether endearingly or not

>>2652895Berlin, Paris, Athens, all big European cities which are getting gangraped by refugees.
>>2653702Not the anon you responded to, but... anywhere, even in the business districts around the capital. I stopped checking bumble after 5k+ likes. Many will go with you after the first date - and I'm taking educated women with careers. It's nuts. The big downside is, they are Filipinas, i.e. they are still a product of their culture. So expect them to gossip, be jealous of other people, and prone to petty acts of revenge. Plus, they will get fat fast, the food over there is on another level. Probably worse than in the US and that's saying something.
>>2654084Mega based but what's the BEST place? Manila strikes me as a shithole and not in the good way. Where's a nice shithole in the good way?
>>2652911Lol no, nice try Antanas
