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 are based on directly talking to people of either a specific country or many different countries are different from the type of discussion we have here. It's likely that flags would just add more trolling and shitposting instead of making any significant improvements to genuine travel topics.

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.

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, philosophy and religion of the indigenous peoples for their mystical devotion. Within the Tinku it is also music and dance (the communities usually enter march touching the rates of Jula-Jula). Fighters among which stand out are the "Warakaku" (Honda, in Quechua) and "Makhanaku" (one of the most similar to judo fights).
The Tinku is a fight melee stimulated by alcohol, which generally corresponds to cheaper and harmful, with the usual consequences of taking a high ethyl alcohol content generating altered states of consciousness leading to more aggressive. They are trained from childhood to fight to the death, they carry a full head of leather garments like such a hard hat as metal, gloved hands into claws and bronze edges.

With amazing physical prowess are twisted, implementing and replicating blows between opponents, similar to boxing combat.
According to tradition, the fighter who has been defeated must shed their blood in abundance as a sacrifice or offering, this, for Mother Earth, commonly known as Pachamama these communities, so that in that year the harvest is abundant.
Allowing to continue the product life cycle of bloodshed and generation of life through the abundant and good crops for the crop year. This ceremonial rite now a battle between members of the above communities are made between men and women "Imilla wawas" (single women) and children from both communities. Clashes correspond to a social order established ie males to be heard by the other men to marry and must have participated in this ritual. Lately the fights are being controlled and supervised by an arbitrator, which are the highest authorities of these communities; Jilakata and the Mayor.
In recent years the presence of the police and neighbors who organize their "civil police" have better controlled violence occurring during the event.
These meetings are often used in the middle of the stones hands were the most lethal blow to the opponent, this procedure is currently banned. It is an impressive gathering where amid the fury of the parties after the battles of the bodies of the fallen are swept and quietly evacuated through the narrow streets, secretly leaving trails of blood as silent witnesses of hell generated by the blows, face deformed and bloodied to start the joy and receive the gifts of blood initiating the great noise of the celebrations of rural communities, more alcohol consumption included.

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?

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 money".
Traveling was a great experience, I loved to talk with so many people from all places in the world, but sometimes I felt really, really lonely. "I am here, why am I not having fun?". "Why can I be happy like those people?". And the post-travel depression hits me pretty hard.

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 have too many. Sometimes you get out of things what you put into them. It sounds lame, but join some meet up groups, find local groups on Fb for mutual interests. Essentially, if you become a fun person, people will gravitate towards you. I'm still an introvert but people would never guess it. Just work on yourself and eventually things fall into place.

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 night, and it was better than a motel 6 but it was safe, nice lobby a security guard and everything. And yes i know you could walk a mile away and get one dollar authentic meals, and see the real mexico which i did later. but if your looking for the dirty americas play ground its a short walk from the border. when i was there it was dead, bars empty, restaurants empty, and peole running at you trying to get to buy their trincets. I met up with some europeans at a emty bar an got shit faced with them, beers were a dollar, and they wanted to go to a strip club, we walked around and found a strip club. a 2 minute dance with the most beautiful hispanic girl cost 10 dollars. but then the madam said it was 40 dollars to fuck her. i didnt want to do that. I left when the guys started doing coke infront of me (you can get coke in the strip clubs) as i was leaving i opened the wrong ddoor and there was a chick getting fucked by a tourist, this strip club had tiny closet rooms you can fuck in right next to the stage.
no joke on another trip i got a ride from a former cartel gang member who was inprisoned and found jesus or soemthing and had kids in the states he was sending money to, this was in LA. I asked him about tijuana and he said when tourists die there they have it coming, they bring in drugs like oxy and pain killers, he told me it was like if you had a yard sale and someone from a different neighbor hood came... cont

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 research because if you know of a good one the drivers will tell you its closed and take you to a cheap one because the owners offer a finders fee to the drivers for bringing them to a less than perfect club. but be careful, the ex cartel body guard guy told me when he was in prison they beat the shit out of prisoners to get information and for tourists to get a bribe. i dont agree with anything your about to do besides get really drunk but i was just too happy to share what ive seen and heard from other people. so if you go get a cold corona with lime for onne us dollar and remember the guy online who gave you some good advice

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.

If you're looking for a decent night out, Liverpool is the the best place, cheap drinks, scouse birds and clubs open until 6am.

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?

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?

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?
