I am a white American. I am learning Mandarin and would someday like to go to either Taiwan or Singapore. Which peoples is more friendly towards whites and Americans in general?
>>1071165
People are friendly everywhere if you are not an arrogant asshole. Find the place that interests you and go there. Also, you dont really need to speak Mandarin in Singapore, most people speak atleast some English, all of the street signs and things are in English.
Both countries are friendly toward most anyone.
>>1071165
Singapore, hands down.
There's a high concentration of natives/asians, indians, and whites. therefore many cultures are fusing and merging with eachother, which leas to some brilliant food and beautiful ladies, if you're into that whole half-sien kinda thing.
You guys are shockingly good at this. Anyone know where this photo was taken? I suspect it's near Osaka.

Its the legendary manlet garden in Okinawa. It seems you've spotted a manlet in full bloom
I have an opportunity to move to either Seattle or Portland, OR.
My deciding factor is unusual: Which city is more like Montreal?
I understand that Montreal is a unique North American city with it's own personality but if you had to liken it to either Seattle or Portland which would you choose and why?
I've never been to Montreal, but probably Portland on a geographic basis
I live in Seattle but I prefer Portland. Seattle is a narrow strip of hilly land surrounded by water on two sides, which makes transportation a nightmare. It's a city of neighborhoods that are all isolated from each other by the terrain and the transportation infrastructure is awful. The traffic is the 3rd worst in the country after LA and Washington DC.
Portland is a lot smaller, but more centralized so it doesn't feel smaller. You can walk from anywhere to anywhere. The infrastructure is much better and it's much easier to get around. It's also a city divided by a river with a bunch of nice bridges like Montreal I guess
Portland is full, fuck off

Montrealer who visited both Seattle and Portland here.
In my opinion Seattle is much more similar to Montreal in general.
Which is why I'd choose Portland :^)
Going to stockholm newt week with 1000€ to spend, any advice?
>>1069836
>any advice?
Don't get turned into a newt.
>>1069836
Well, that certainly depends on what your interests are.
>>1069836
Check in to a nice hotel, hire an escort.
So I'm an American/Irish dual citizen and interested in the cost of living and living conditions in Ireland itself. I've been to Germany and Poland but curious on how Ireland is. My citizenship is inherited through my mother but I have never personally been to the country.

Come to Northern Ireland to avoid using the euro.

Dublin is a lovely town, with lots of sights and drinking. It's not cheap, nor that expensive either.
I used to live in Smithfield, which is pretty decent. Additionally, if you want to stay alive, keep away from the slums and generally avoid the street youths, and guys with short hair and jogging pants.. Oh, and you will inevitably be disappointed with the quality of the birds there, they're wearing tons of make-up and eating way too many chips and crisps for their own good..
That being said, the pub culture is a lovely thing to behold, and they are generally quite an embracing people.
>>1071301
Why would he do that? The Dollar-Euro exchange rate has plummeted, he may as well take advantage of it.
>>1071300
Living conditions are excellent, cost of living is very high relative to mainland Europe. The country is pretty rural, Dublin is the only contender for what you would consider a city.
I would actually disagree with >>1071739 , Dublin is a kip. The best parts of the country to visit are along the west coast, which are also the most rugged and closest to what Americans seem to think they're going to when they come here, but most large towns and cities are very comfortable to live in.
My gf wants to spend next New Years time in the cozy frozen woods of either Denmark or Sweden, tell me the places to go, please.
Denmark. For every possible reason.
>>1067552
>Denmark
>Woods
>>1067552
Well, if you appreciate a geographically and mentally tiny place with a population that can only compete with the bleeming Dutch when it comes to being petite bourgeoisie, then go to Denmark.
And there are no real woods, or mountains, in Denmark. You could just as well stay where you are.
The reason can be anything from the people, nature, losing your viginity, having feeling of being on top of your life, freedom, independence, whatever.
I'll start. For me it has to be the sunset at nepal. I don't know why but it truly deep down made me very peaceful and I felt as if all my problems were gone. I've felt like this in other places but the sunset in nepal was the one where I felt it the strongest.
>>1066593
Skiing in the Alps and then getting home to food and wine on the table
Bagan.
Best sunset there and I lost my virginity to a travel buddy I love deeply.
St Petersburg.
First time to see snow.
BEIJING.
No big reason. This is my first place I traveled to.
>>1066593
I am most content anywhere tat I can be relatively warm and on a boat. On a relatively uncrowded beach gets an honorable mention. ut there is something about the feel of being on a boat that makes my soul happy.
Hey guys. Camp America is a program that charges lonely non-Americans an exorbitant fee to go work in an American summer camp, and I've swallowed the propaganda. I'm not the adventurous type, but a couple of weeks looking after clean-spirited colonial youths in the great outdoors seems bearable.
Anyone done this before and has stories?
Anyone been to an American summer camp and knows the deal?
Is it true that American girls like a British accent? (I'm from the North, so don't think Hugh Grant)
How's the racism over there?
>>1071040
Watch some american summer camp movies and ignore the promiscuity. It's team building and leadership exercises. Canoeing, archery, camp fires, and other bullshit. It can be fun.
American girls have a fondness for the accent, but it won't get you much further than being an icebreaker. They won't understand the regional difference, so don't worry about that.
Racism will depend on where you go.
>>1071040
I don't know how old you are, but yeah Brits have confirmed to me that a British accent makes the panties drop. I think the best advantage of it is, yanks have no frame of reference, so you can behave as outrageously as you wish and theyll think it's just the "british way". If you force your tongue down a random girls throat whilst drunk they'll think "thats just how British people are".
Having said that, British men are generally better at charming women, and have better confidence then American men, so I'm sure it was more than just the accent.
There's no racism towards Englishmen, but if you're a paki or other minority, they'll be just as racist towards you as they would up in Newcastle. Having said that, black/white racemixing is trendy at the moment, so I imagine a black guy would still have to mop up pussy juice daily.
If you're underage B&, summer camp is where everyone gets laid for the first time, contrary to >>1071041 the promiscuity displayed in movies is 100% accurate. It's where 11 year olds get their first kiss and 15 year olds lose their v-card.
If you're in your 20s or late teens I imagine there'll be some secret drinking and hookups among counsellors, but don't expect any wild orgies. Remember the drinking age is 21 and they are very strict on that, so make sure you know someone over 21 willing to do beer runs for you. Probably, the groundskeeper or head chef at the camp will do it for you.
All in all, I don't understand why you paid money, but you will have a blast. Camp is an important part of growing up and where some of the best memories are made. You'll have fun.
>>1071041
>Racism will depend on where you go
No. I've lived in northern states (NY, NH, PA, etc) all my life. Most people in any state are racist. Almost every white person I knew hated blacks and hispanics and every black person I knew disliked white people and hated hispanics etc etc. Nearly everyone in the U.S. is racist to some degree and from my travels Europe isn't much different.
Would you live in remote willage in serbia or bulgaria? I am thinking of buying some land there any tips or tricks
>>1071001
In that region there are many more beautiful countries than those two. Croatia is probably the best of all.
There are MANY amazing places in both countries but as a Serb i would need a * very very good* plan on what i plan to do with that land.
For example if you choose to live there, you must be prepared for potentially nerve breaking roads and lack of general things, for example hospitals or something like that
Land + house can be very cheap, depending the location, i've seen houses + land go for 5k. I doubt you'll spend more than 20-25k
>>1071206
well I was thinking on buying lots of land about 100 acres and give it away for free and that way have good neighbors. what do you think?
Any Romanian-fags here? I need to know a few things, im planning a motorbike trip to Transfogarska and Transalpina.
Sup ?
Buy a huge lock and chain, and keep your bike locked to yourself even in bed....even when having a shower.

>posts flag of Chad

Anyone here knows how it works with prostitution in Taiwan?
I want a night with a high end escort 10/10 Taiwanese desu
I don't work my ass off every day for nothing
>>1071324
Thanks OP, I just saved a new namaste.jpg
>>1071324
i'm just talking out my ass here, but i think you might be better off visiting Thailand, if you're only going for that whole prostitution thing.
>>1071825
They are different races you dick head

My girlfriend and I are thinking about going to Niagara Falls over spring break. We don't travel a whole lot, and she's never been out of the country. Any advice? Pic is my dog, she'll be staying with my parents.
>>1071609
What sort of advice are you looking for? Where are you from? Are you just going to Niagara?
>>1071629
We're from PA living in upstate NY. We're just going to the falls and the surrounding area for a few days. I'll probably take a day to go off and tour the inniskillin winery because I'm a wine geek. Any advice at all is helpful. We don't really travel a lot, so I figured this is the place to ask

Is Nicaragua just the meme country of 2015?
>>1071011
Central America is fun and cheap and dangerous enough so that it's not overcrowded with shitheads like SEA is. It's not a meme at all, pretty great place to visit.
>>1071011
>implying Japan isn't the biggest meme country of any year
All the travel blogs and magazines are telling everyone to visit it now, so yes it is pretty meme now.
