What can one do in big bear with $300 and some friends?
Nothing stop asking
It's never going to happen so stop asking because your going to play Garry's mod for the rest of your life you useless member of society
Wouldn't be hard to do. /pol/ already uses it. It will help with our discussions.

We have determined that flags will not benefit this board and will likely decrease the value of certain posters.
For example, guy who has lived in Japan for 5 years goes back home and replies in one of the many threads on Japan with an American flag next to his post would be considered a worse source of knowledge then someone who showed up in Japan a week ago but thinks they're an expert on everything Japanese and posts with a Japan flag.
Boards like /int/ and /pol/ where the majority of discussions...

Every time this is brought up the answer is a clear no. There is not a single benefit it would bring. On the other hand, it would bring lots of downsides.
>>1076642
No. Youre not the first person to ask. There's literally no good reason to have a flag if you're traveling around, it will only confuse people.
If there is a wild, ancient and fascinating ritual in the history of mankind through the Andes, in the Altiplano it is the Tinku dance or fight to the death to achieve fertility of crops and appease the ancient gods for their thirst of blood on the land, which provide fruits it should be satisfied with the sacrifice of the fighters until after fierce fighting killed.
The Tinku is an Andean ritual and folk dance performed in northern Potosi - Bolivia. The meaning of the Tinku word is "meeting" (from the Quechua word tinkuy, found). The meaning of the word Tinku in Quechua is "meeting" and in Aymara means "strike". ceremonial ritual Tinku Tinku is a pre-Inca ritual practiced annually for several days in the communities of the northern region of the department of Potosi. The Tinku is from the highland region inhabited by the Laymes and Jukumanis.
It is practiced as a rite ceremonial mingling with the custom,...

Okay /travel/ hear me out.
I'll be in between jobs from march 7th till april 1. At first I was thinking about going on a solo trip for that period. But the thing is I have a concert march 25th I really need to go to. So now I am limited in time from lets say march 7, till march 25. About 2 weeks.
So what is good to travel to for 2 weeks. I was planning on going from city to city and staying in hostels so its easy to meet up people.
I am from the Netherlands and I've been to most west European cities.
>>1076638
Generic East Yurop tour (Baltics, Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania/Ukraine for instance) should keep you plenty busy and not break the bank. You could probably also spend two weeks in either of the mentioned countries.
>>1076721
Think i'll end up doing something like that indeed.
But still open for more ideas.
I don't understand the question, you could go anywhere on earth for two weeks.
You want to stay in Europe? Or would you consider places like Morocco or Turkey?
I'm a NEET and I think traveling will help me out of this, get on a plane an go to Thailand maybe, its cheap and it seems pretty cool, people seem friendly, I'll just avoid the red light districts. Any experiences getting out of the NEET life?
Well the problem with being a NEET is not having money, since you're oh well, NEET. As long as you have resources, just do it. Even better if you have someone travelling with you.
On the other hand I don't know shit, might be different than in my country. I've heard you get some SICK welfare in Scandifag countries.
If I didn't have a job, I would be a NEET today.
Basically, I just leave home to work. Work + nothing to do = money.
I am not sure if travel can change your life, it didn't change mine. Sure it helps to talk to people, I wish I could do it at home, but after some time I felt like an android starting every conversation with "Hi, where are you from?" and I lied sometimes too. "Why are you not traveling with your friends?" - don't say you don't have friends "You know, it's expensive to travel, so my friends don't have...

Dammit anon, Im sorry to hear that. Maybe try working on that on your next trip? I try to grow on every one. Ie be less of a pussy with women, get better at being alone, try for sex to not be the end game, try harder to connect with locals, etc.
I like being alone now and when people ask I say I got tired of waiting for friends to come along.
The truth is that it does get lonely sometimes. But I think that's normal for everyone. Try to surround yourself with good friends or make some if you don't...

I'm planning a driving trip up to Oregon in May. I'll be driving up to Astoria, then back down, zigzagging around visiting small forest towns. Any suggestions for things I should see?
from my personal visits to oregon:
>Crater Lake
>Newport, OR
>the entire oregon coast highway

Where are you starting from, OP?
Hi. I have never posted on /trv before, but I have questions, and you people are the geniuses of the Internet. A buddy and I are planning a trip to Mexico next year (Tijuana to be exact). We plan on doing the obvious for starters (bars, clubs, hookers, beaches), but I am having trouble figuring out what to do there because everybody on the internet is a tourist. I want to know what GOOD shit there is to do there. I dont want to buy worthless trincets and barter for woven baskets. I want to have fun. We are both 21. I need to know the best clubs, best bars, best brothels, etc....

Dude Tijuana is a dangerous fucking place. If you go, not dying should be a major concern.
Doing coke in tijuana is an awesome idea, but there's a 10-15% chance you'll be straight up murdered while looking for yeys. If that doesn't bother you, fucking blast 8-balls a night for pocket change bro. Just go down in a blaze of glory if SHTF, you don't wanna end up in one of their jails
I was there 5 years ago and walked across the boarder with a backpack and no one asking for any ID, dont drive there is my first advice. If you really want to go to mexico ONLY for tijuana just walk, everything you are looking for is a short walk
all the bars your looking for is near something called like, "revelucion" or revolution ave/st/dr, whatever. Its literally their version of sunset blvd. It has all the trincets shots, american style mexican restaurants, bars, etc. but its also where the "safe" tourist hotels are. I got nice room for 20 bucks a...

over to your lawn and sold his stuff, his quote "your going to have to fuck him up"
so dont bring in any drugs, dont act like an idiot. the european dudes went to a strip club asked for sex and asked for hookers and they got it. i read this from a wiki style street sex forum is to just go to a taxi driver and ask for a brothel or ask for a girl and they will drive you to the club, in those clubs you can rent a room for a night andd get a pick of the girls, and read it was a condom must policy. but do your...

Hey, /trv/, I'm thinking about going to the UK. I've traveled but I've never been to Europe before. I'm Anglo, so I know the UK is like absolute pleb starter tier, but I don't care. It seems really interesting and fun.
I want to bantz with/buy drinks for locals while watching foosball at some cozy pub that's been in business for like over 100 years. I really like history (though I don't have any interest in Stonehenge). I'm really interested in 18th century Britain as well as Victorian times and the Imperial century. Medieval is cool too. I'm open to London, but it seems more multicultural and touristy than what I'm looking for.
>Girls
Sorry, inevitable. My goal is to hook up with two kinds of girls. A really posh girl and a slag. I imagine the slag will be no problem, but do posh girls ever slut it up? How to British girls feel about Yanks? (I'm a normie--look fine, dress fine).
Where is the best place to pull a Kerry Louise-tier slag (pic related). I'm assuming not London. Newcastle? That's where Geordie Shore was. Any good places to try your luck with ulta-posh girls? I have money so that's not really a factor.
Thanks.
Lad, you've got more chance of pulling a sbike from south london than you do newcastle mate.
no 1 - don't go by shitty programs like geordie shore for things like this.
Going to Westminster or The Strand for posh girls, any bars or clubs you'll be sound lad. Safe.
>>1076547
Thanks m9, pretty clueless that's why I'm asking. So basically just stick to London for nightlife?
I don't really mean for this to turn into a girls only kind of thread so any other general recommendations beyond shit in London I can easily research I'd be thankful.
>>1076574
If you're looking for a decent night out, Liverpool is the the best place, cheap drinks, scouse birds and clubs open until 6am.
Hey /trv/ So I got a scholarship to study in China at Kaifeng in the Henan province. I know its not as cool as Shanghai, but oh well. I was just wondering what are some things I should bring with me, things to do, places to see, any advice. those kind of things. I did give myself some time to travel around and I am planning a week trip to Shanghai.

I was thinking of driving up North this summer just to see the Northern Lights and maybe do a bit of fishing and outdoorsy photography stuff. Anyone got any stories or experiences from up there?
>>1076501
I don't think summer is a very good time for the Lights - the sun is up 24 hours if you are far enough north. But you should go, it's amazing.
Not OP, but I also want to visit Alaska. How bad are the mosquitoes in summer?
Im trying to join ISIL and am looking for a way to get there cost effectively

sure, let me ask the fbi
I honestly don't get fags like you who don't even take the time to think of something funny or witty, just shit from your fingers onto the keyboard and find it hysterical. Like I go out everyday and work and exercise in part because being on your computer all day will fry your brain. Where did it go wrong for you and what can I do to help?
Hi /trv/, my mom's going to be going back to visit Spain, and I'd like to get a SIM card for a Spanish mobile provider before she leaves.
She currently doesn't even have a cellphone, and barely knows how to use technology. I know she could just buy one in Spain very easily, but I don't want to have her try and buy one and install it by herself. So I'd like to buy a SIM card online, get her a phone and have her all set before she leaves the country.
While on the subject, which carrier would be best in Spain anyway?
I apologize if...

Bumping for interest. I would like to ask the same but in reverse. If I go to the states, what do I need to do to keep cellphone/internet acces? And is this different for every state?
Carrefour Móvil:
http://www.carrefour.es/telecom/internet-movil/index.html
SIM: 10€ in any Carrefour supermarket (including Carrefour Express), includes 5€ of credit. You want the data SIM, not the voice SIM. They sell them in the checkout line.
DATA TARIFFS:
1€/day unlimited data, billed per-day. If you only connect during one day (0h-2359h) you only pay 1€. Thus that SIM will keep you going for five days without a recharge. You get full HSPA data up to 100MB/day, then it drops to 128Mb/s.
1GB Pack - 19€, good for a 30-day period, unlimited...

Hello all traveling brothers and sisters.
On this board on several occasions we've played the game where one person posts a picture, and the rest of us have to guess where it was taken.
Today, I come to you with a picture to which I cannot give any clues other than these: It is most definitely in a major developing country. China, Brazil or the likes. It was used as a cover for the French publication "L’état du monde" discussing up-and-coming countries.
My own verdict: The foreground houses do not look very Chinese, but may well be. Shanghai, maybe Guangzhou?
The publication's cover

No idea mate. Saw it on Reddit couple days ago and it said it was China.
Here's one of my pictures for ppl to guess.

I'm going on my first trip to Japan this April. I'll be staying at a shared house in a private room, for the duration of 3 months. I hope to visit both Kyoto and Osaka, as well as experience all the amazing things Tokyo has to offer.
Any suggestions, or tips?
Protip: Have fun.

My suggestion is to visit the Japanese general thread
