Me and My buddy are planning a long weekend to Warsaw, we are brits.
General cheap holiday, Air BnB has sorted us an apartment for no less than 30 pounds for the weekend which is fantastic.
Taking him to bring him out of a funk.
couple questions, whats the night life like? do folks respond well to brits walking in on their clubs / pubs? easy to pull a local or should I just start saving up escort numbers for him?
general tourist during the day, any points of interest?
Brit here.
I went to Warsaw and then took the train to Krakow, was with wife but did go to some clubs - being honest: no one really cares where you are from if you are white.
"Pulling birds" threads are generally looked down on here. If you can't pull at home, you won't pull just by taking a 2 hour Ryanair flight m8

it's more a bonus than anything,
We just want to enjoy Poland and a bit of culture at the same time.

I went to Warsaw and four other Polish cities last year. Warsaw doesn't really have that much going for it. Krakow on the other hand is a great city. There's a great night life and everyone under 35 speaks English. As far as the ladies are concerned, you won't pull just cos your British so your chances are about the same as in the UK.
If you can re-book, I'd definitely go to Krakow instead. Warsaw is a bit soulless and it's very big. There are bars and nightclubs of course but you'll be paying a lot more there. Escorts/massage parlours are in both cities.

Is Syracuse, NY nice? Interested in good restaurants, good lifestyle (cycling, fitness, outdoors, climbing, healthy living generally), good arts & culture, live music, gastropubs, and interesting people generally.
>>1070691
>Is Syracuse, NY nice?
In my experience, no. It's something of a dump. But as a large town/very small city with some institutions of higher education in it, it has more going on than most towns of its size in its region.
>Interested in good restaurants, good lifestyle (cycling, fitness, outdoors, climbing, healthy living generally), good arts & culture, live music, gastropubs, and interesting people generally.
Has student/university culture. That means some food, arts, and nightlife options you wouldn't find in nearby towns. Probably also increases the outdoorsy/athletic value of the place. Central New York is in many places quite beautiful, but it's mostly flat.
>>1070691
no, it's horrible and highly niggery.
upstate new york is bleak and desolate wasteland.
The only places you should consider stopping in are some of the towns along the finger lakes for wine tours.
naples and ithaca are basically the only places even remotely worth spending your time on.
all the "cities" upstate are utterly sickening.
t. someone unfortunate enough to have had to live upstate for work.
never again.
I've spent some time there. It's infested by African Americans. There are a few white areas, but you still aren't safe. The only famous restaurant is Dinosaur BBQ (original location). The canal museum is ok. There's a Children's Science Museum, but it's run of the mill. The best thing there is probably the art museum. They have tried making a safe zone up on the Syracuse University hill. The food is nothing special, but that is one of the few areas where you could feel safe walking around. Even in this safe area I got approached by an aggressive 'youth'. Anyone with sense and options has long ago moved into the suburbs. The only reason the city hasn't collapsed is the hospitals, Syracuse University, SUNY medical, Social Security, and other government related business. You meet interesting people from the university. In conclusion, it's not nice.
Guys, I need your ideas. Have you been to Norilsk? Or Siberia?
How does one get to Norilsk for a few days? I see plane tickets sold, buses apparently go to Dudinka, but I can't really find concrete information on what sort of permit and/or invite I need to be allowed to enter the area.
I'm more interested in slightly less polluted areas of Siberia to be honest, but my good friend and best travel buddy really wants to check out Norilsk, and I ran out of excuses. Well no, I got interested myself.
We get the idea of Russian bureaucracy and all, and may end up partly winging it, but would like to avoid improvisation as much as possible.
Now back to google and yandex, wish me the best...
Shameless self-bump so that Russians would maybe notice.
>>1070630
Siberianbro here, Why do you want to go to Norilsk and how can I help you?
Nearing 6 months ago I finished a military service of three years, during which I couldn't leave my country. Two years before that I was a student as part of a military program, where I also couldn't leave the country without special permissions and such.
Even without the two study years, it's a custom in my country that people who finish their military service go and travel the world. Most of them either fly to India and spend several months doing drugs, or fly to South America and basically cross the continent lengthwise for like 3 to 5 months.
I wish to travel to the United States of America and see with my bare eyes the place I keep seeing on TV. I want to test and taste the food chains, or even just the food, Americans praise all over media. I want to see landmarks, not necessarily the iconic ones, but just stuff that's American.
The issue is that I'm not sure where to go. I know I'll be in Texas in July 1st weekend, but that's about it. My dad said something about grabbing a flight back home from New York, but I still don't know if that's also canon.
In the meanwhile, I'd like to ask you guys for advice. Suggest, if you will, places worth visiting/touring around the United States of America that I could use as foundations for my upcoming trip's route.

Liking to eat isn't really enough to go on for giving you recommendations.
I can say, you'll be in Texas in the hottest weather of year, basically you are going to Eilat for the summer. I suppose you could head east to New Orleans then through the south for a tour of BBQ country. But one, the humidity just gets worse. And two, some states only BBQ pork. Who knows maybe these aren't problems?
I'm so fucking bored, fuck this shit, i want to get on a small motorbike and ride somewhere exotic. I could do SE Asia or India, what would you guys recommend?
I'm thinking 2 weeks or less, as this would be my first biking adventure.
I've never done a biking adventure before, but man I would recommend something longer than two weeks, they will literally fly by
>>1070444
Wherever trips getter go
>first biking trip
>considering go places where traffic laws literally do not exist
though i suppose it would be better than driving a car. are you going to rent?
heading to denver for a business trip tomorrow.
I am getting there a day early to check it out and will have to find my own lodging.
Anyone done an Airbnb or hostel there?
Good experience?
Looking for something different from the holliday in express I will stay in the rest of the week.
Smoke some legal weed
>>1070424
cant. drug testing at work
Found a hostel.
Pot smoke everywhere.
Football everywhere.
Not bad but 50 bucks plus parking is a bit steep for a twin bunk bed.
Glad to be here though.
I have always wanted to visit North Korea, as it seems like a flashback to the 80s Soviet Utopia that I've always wanted to see.
How would a single traveller visit Best Korea and how much would I be looking at? I'm currently in Europe and an EU citizen.
everything is illegal and involves being smuggled from china. gl with being beheaded
>>1070292
afaik there are two ways of getting in as a tourist. You can go with an organised tour group (look up Koryu tours) where there is a set itinerary and you are guided by tour group rep and an NK rep/guide, alternatively sometimes foreigners get in for special events (the Pyongyang film festival and that marathon seemed to have arrangements for visitors, but I'm not sure how it was organised).
>>1070292
>How would a single traveller visit Best Korea and how much would I be looking at?
Pay a few thousands euros through a tour agency. That's literally all there is to it.
Don't actually go there, you faggot.
So is Liban still too unsafe to visit ?
>>1070259
Was in Lebanon (mostly Beirut) 4 times and have friends from there. My honest advice is:
>if you don't know locals you can stay with and that show you around don't go
The situation is unpredictable and not on a there's a danger but it's neglectable like in Israel level.
Inner tensions, Hizbollah ready to go nuts, tensions with Israel, sharing a border with Syria, 1 million refugees in a 4million country...
There was recently a terrorist attack in Istanbul but before that happened I wanted to go there and visit other Turkish towns/cities. Is it a good idea or no? Does this usually happen?
>>1070023
Where do you plan to go?
> Does this usually happen?
As usual as in Paris I guess.
It's several 1000 times more likely to get killed in a car accident. Even being struck by lightning is more likely. No need to worry.
Don't visit Turkey, if you're european Turkey already visits your land. Just another muslim country, like France.
I'd like to go to some sort of club in Europe that plays loud electronic music, meet a local girl, then go somewhere and have sex with her.
What city should I go to in order to do this?
Prague, Berlin, Moscow/St. Petersburg, Riga, Amsterdam
berlin (berghain)
Pic related.

Amsterdam, though she'll not be a local
Has anybody on /trv/ ever had any crazy/bizarre/fun/horrifying experiences buying or using drugs while abroad?

I've seen a sobbing middle-aged woman dragged away by Laos customs officials who were inspecting a crate of packets of white powder.
Does that count?
I'm actually planning a trip the US for a coke binge. Ausfag here, $350 a gram (I've had enough)
Why don't you hold multiple citizenships?
If you live in North America, why don't you have Nexus?
>having dual citizenship
>not having a EU passport
sorry OP
Added tax burden, no real benefits. Also have security clearance with US government and they wouldn't like it.
Could get a German passport though my mom.
>>1067501
>If you live in North America, why don't you have Nexus?
Anyone here know anyone who has done this?
Just learned about it today on this site:
https://www.thrillist.com/travel/nation/miss-travel-date-to-puerto-vallarta-mexico
and found it rather interesting.
At first I thought it would be pretty cool for someone like me (Mid 20s white American, with average looks & income), but the more I think about it, the more I think it would be for old 'sugar daddy' type men and gold digger women.
What do you all think?
https://www.misstravel.com/how-it-works/
Just another one of the drawbacks of not being born a hot girl or a rich dude.
>noone likes to travel alone
>not being a RealTraveller™
>>1066349
>for old 'sugar daddy' type men and gold digger women
It's worse than you think.
It's for rich(ish) guys who think they'll get laid by buying girls that aren't honest enough to work as actual prostitutes and girls that think they can sponge of a guy by heavily imply that they'll put out without actually putting out and nothing will go wrong.
Only a matter of time before someone gets raped. I'm sure there's already half a dozen facebook posts about 'some creepy guy who thought he could fuck me just because he paid for my flights, hotel and food for a week'.
Basically, replace 'travel' with 'drinks in bars' and you've about got the situation.
tl;dr: suckers and whores
>this triggers the robot
Most of you will have heard of "Paris Syndrome" where Japanese tourists in Paris have a mental breakdown when they realize that the reality of the city doesn't match the idealized fantasy in their heads. I think the media is primarily to blame for this. Paris is always portrayed as a sophisticated culture capital where beautiful models sip wine by the banks of the Seine in between shopping sprees in Louis Vuitton, with views of the Eiffel tower in the background.
What I want to know is what exactly is it about Paris that triggers such an extreme reaction in Japanese tourists? The Wikipedia article mentions vague reasons such as the language barrier and exhaustion from jetlag and trying to pack too much sightseeing in one trip. But these reasons could equally apply to London or Rome. The lack of concrete discussion of this topic leads me to believe that the true reason is politically incorrect. Is it that there are too many immigrants in France? I've never visited the country but have read demographic stats online. I can only imagine how surprised the Japanese would be. They come from an almost completely ethnically homogeneous country where law and order rule. Africans and Arabs can come across as aggressive and threatening.
Maybe I'm way off the mark? So tell me - what is Paris' dirty little secret that the guidebooks aren't telling me.
>>1065957
sounds like a lot of japanese tourists have autism.
Because for whatever reason a lot of Japanese people are Frenchaboos. The same thing happens to tons weebs that go to Japan. It's not as common with other countries because there's no other bizarrely common belief that one developed area is a fantasy-land compared to their homeland like Japan--->France and White people land---->Japan.
The same thing happens to tons of weebs that go to Japan, it's why you can find pages and pages of people screaming about micro-aggressions and racism among other people claiming "this was more fun than I thought it would be"
The reason it isn't as publicized of a thing when weebs are disillusioned is because there's no "white-jin-ron" to justify some bored doctor researching the effects of disappointment in people with unrealistic expectations in hopes of being able to say "sasuga white people, we have four seasons after all".
>>1065965
>there's no "white-jin-ron"
Actually let me rephrase this: There is, but most of the time it's built on racist overtones so most people don't take it seriously. Also google nihonjinron if you don't know what I'm talking about (though I'm sure if you're asking about paris syndrome you must already know)
