Looking to travel to australia to work and live. Im not worried about the pay, i just want to be able to survive! Does any one have any ideas on a good way to do this? I would like to live in Melbourne
I have an assignment for class where I have to "pretend I'm visiting from another country" for the weekend and to describe what the Superbowl is like
What country?
I'm leaning Russia. Partially because I have a shitton of vodka here to get into character

Lol, American self-importance never ceases to amaze me.
It's a bunch of fat people drinking and painting their faces while watching a bunch of fat people in spandex collide into one another with frequent breaks. Get over yourselves, nobody from outside the US has an opinion or "take" on it because they literally don't care.

I just wanna tell you I found this fucking hilarious
I've perfected Japanese and effectively learned Khanji. I've done research but I would rather hear from personal experiences. I would like questions like this answered. Is job availability common? Is finding a clean and affordable place to live easy. All anons provide me with answers and tips.

Ahahahaha you're a stupid fucking weeaboo. Know that unless you happen to look completely japanese you'll be treated like a nigger. Understanding Japanese just means you'll hear all the shit they talk about you.
You won't be able to "fit in" and your only friends will be other weeaboos and believe me they are all betas outcasts.
Obviously you can't be dissuaded by common sense so fuck off to the Japan general, hopefully they can talk you out of the biggest mistake you'll make.

I was starting to miss all the white males moving to Japan
Where should my gf and I go for the one week of spring break? We are white Americans in our early 20s and, though adventurous, would like to stay safe (which means we would like to not be stuck on a beach resort the entire time, we'd like to get out and enjoy some local culture without being tourist-y while remaining safe).
We are both /lit/ and into the arts.
We have free guest passes for SW airlines, so if you want to look at their potential destinations you can. This is what limits us most.
Otherwise we have narrowed it down to the following, which are...

I hardly post anything on /trv/ at all but I'm here for some possible do's/don'ts for my flight to Florida (from Indianapolis) this week. any help would be extremely appreciated. Thank you. (pic not related at all)
Do board a plane headed to Florida
Don't do something else
So /trv/ I am going to do driving lessons and my test at some point in the near future. I am from the UK and want to do the test in an automatic car. If I do this then I will only have my license to drive automatics.
I plan on doing a lot of travelling to some far-flung places in the future and would like to have the option of hiring cars in said places.
Now my question is to those of you who have hired cars around the world, are there usually f automatic cars available for hire in most places in the world? Or am I severley limiting my choice in the future and should do my test in a manual?
My reason for doing it in an automatic is that I am shit with the gears, and much more comfortable driving in an automatic.
The only place that I have seen automatic cars as standard for rent was in the US. You'll probably have to pay a lot extra if you want an automatic car anywhere else but they should have some automatic cars in the lot.
>>1078420
Israel rents mostly automatics. Otherwise, yeah, manual shift as the standard everywhere.
Just do a proper license for manual shift OP. It's not hard at all. It might feel complicated at first, but it'll quickly become second nature.
>>1078425
There really isn't any reason not to do your test in a normal car. Especially if you are in Europe.
So I'm thinking about going to north korea just for a few days. Just because I'm curious about how it really is there and stuff. But I know they have a lot of different and strict laws there so I'm wondering if anyone else who has been there got any tips?
>>1078402
It will be a group tour, there's literally a ton of info and pics and documentaries out there. Go you youtube and etch the vice documentary for a good quick overview.
Use the archive. We have this kind of thread almost every week

Hello buddy's,
So here is a thing... I would REALLY want to know about spots / "hidden gems" local shit happening out there in Toronto..
Really sick of this touristy lame as attractions, I want to travel like a local!
So, whats up buddy's?
Locals don't travel. They live there.
Scarborough town center

Toronto sticky when? There has been one of these "In Toronto, what do" posts on a weekly basis for years
>Not that I blame you for this OP
Honestly dude Toronto isn't a colossally touristy town, odds are if you are not on Yonge Street or Queen Street, you are going to the same places as the locals.
If you are really dying for a hidden gem, go to Scarborough and try the food, have no idea why youd want to go to some shitty immigrant suburb just to try...

I'm going to Budapest in 25 hours. Can anyone give me the lowdown on what to do? I'll be there for 3 days.
Go up the castle hill on Buda
Cross a bridge over the Danube to the Parliament building
From there wander to St. Stephen's Basilica
Go to a kavehaz
Eat beef goulash for dinner
And that should about cover it for a timeframe like that.
Might also want to have some foie gras with a glass of Tokaji Aszu.
>>1078187
Wait, misunderstood it as "for" 25 hours.
Well, whatever.
I can also recommend the local pâté, Dreher bock ("bak",) and taking a gander at Keleti station.
Don't drink the water.
>>1078172
check out one of the baths (Király, Rudas and Veli Bej are Turkish baths, Gellért and Széchenyi are bigger, turn-of-the-century bathing complexes)
walk up to the Citadella on Gellérthegy
hike up to Normafa and check out the Elizabeth viewpoint
see the Budapest History Museum in Buda Castle
check out Aquincum, the nearby Gázgyári lakótelep and the two amphitheatres in Óbuda
take the H5 suburban train to Szentendre and stroll around the downtown area
do a pub crawl in...

>Wanting to get plane tickets for Kyiv, Ukraine for June - July
>See a roundtrip ticket for $804
>Hold off on buying figuring prices might go down
>A day later everything is $944 or more
I have literally no experience with buying plane tickets.
Did I mess up badly or will prices go down again?
Listen here you noob. Websites track you via cookies. What you need to do is cover your tracks so that they don't know you were looking for a plane ticket to Kyiv or anywhere for that matter.
You could easily pay a few hundred dollars more if you don't know how to clear your history/cookies.
Step 1: clear your cookies
Step 2: download tor
Step 3: use tor to book plane ticket
Also protip:
compare prices on google flights, skyscanner, ita software matrix, priceline

It will go down again although I don't know if it will go down to $804. Wait it out, it might take a couple of weeks. Check every day. Usually prices go slightly up on weekends as they know that's when people have time to look for tickets. Some say that the cheapest prices are on Tuesdays after midnight but I don't believe that, although I have seen prices drop mid week.
So yes, just be patient and keep checking every day. It might not drop down too $804 but it might come close or if you're...

To those who live in SF - these two places have the same rent (with roommate):
1.) Townhouse in Duboce Triangle - completely standard, 2bd/1ba
2.) Condo in Soma (the worse-ish near Twitter HQ part). 2bd/2ba, full amenities (roof, pool, gym),
The balance here is super nice building in shit neighborhood, vs shit building in nice neighborhood.
Is the Duboce Triangle really considered a "good" neighborhood? It looks pretty crappy to me. Anyway, it's popular with the gays if you're into that. Personally, I'd go for the better unit.
>>1078130
SF here. Live in the Lower Haight, approx. 2 blocks north of Duboce Triangle. Close enough that realtors call listings on my street Duboce Triangle, and we get the Duboce Triangle Neighborhood Association newsletter shoved under our door. I absolutely love the neighborhood and would choose it in a minute over SOMA. But it depends on what you're looking for. DT has a bit more character--more interesting varieties of architecture, more old hippies, bohemians, and weirdos that haven't been priced out yet. It's...

Whoops, forgot to mention also that Duboce Triangle has more families, while SOMA is predictably more young singles (only some of whom are douchebag brogrammers). And it's a fairly good nightlife area, at least in terms of clubs, although you may not need or want to do a lot of walking to or from them. So these may be draws for you.
How does one latch onto nights out at party colleges in the US as a tourist? Say, in LA. Are the student unions etc restricted to students only or what?
You show up
>>1078140
Show up to what? Bars? Clubs? How are they full of students if tourists are allowed in also?
>>1078143
Because no one else would want to go? I'm not sure I understand the problem.
What's the best approach to nightlife in California? Specifically LA area.
I'm a britbong travelling this golden coast state, and so far I've been unsuccessful with the nightlife. Bars in Hollywood were dead during the week, so then I went downtown LA this weekend only to end up in Hispanic bars/clubs or gaybars. The only chicks that would give me the time of day were on the street when I needed help getting a ride home.
Is it a meme that you'll get pussy in cali just for being a brit? What's the best places to go to take advantage of my...

Ever been to bangladesh , its not know but seems like there is lots of place for hiking, what could be the safety precautions ?
http://www.bdprimeit.com/top-10-attractive-natural-tourist-place-in-bangladesh-with-pictures/
I'm curious about this since I plan on backpacking through Sri Lanka, India, and Nepal next year. I thought about adding Bangladesh to the list, but don't enough about it
Bangladesh is a dangerous flyover country. It's not worth visiting.
