I'm visiting Germany and I'm just wondering if I can buy a lighter. Is 17 old enough, because in UK it's 16.
>>1063074
Seeing as the age of consent is 14 and beer/wine is 16, you can buy a lighter.
>>1063074
you can buy a lighter 100%
source have been 17 in germany for a whole year once.

You only get to visit ONE country in Europe, what would you choose?
A friend and I are going and we're both choosing one country to visit but I'm having trouble choosing!
It depends where you're coming from. I would say something like Spain, but it's because I don't live in a country that's warm and has palm trees. If you're coming from somewhere like Mexico, then it might not be as cool as seeing something else. Generally if you're coming from outside of Europe and already paying for the expensive plane ticket then it's dumb to just stay in one European country, moving around in the EU is cheap and easy.

This.
And, by coming from, everyone means what are you used to? what do you like to do? where else have you been? do you want famous things or emptiness? are you a music or history fan? literary? do you like city life or nature from vacations?
Safetywise, I'd recommend iceland, norway, ireland if you want to rent a car and drive around, and if a woman and relying on public transport, Austria, cause I haven't been since the flood of immigrants much in those affected areas, but there are all great places to start. One of the best popular places I'd suggest for a bit of everything, but needs a budget is a 3-country tour, like Prague-Vienna-Budapest, ohh, about 11 days.
My gf travel Sarajevo in few weeks for like 3-4 days. So is there anything she should be aware and be on attention,? Also i should be worry?
That you'll put on 10 kg in a week. Food is way too good.
>>1062927
Well im totally ok with this, also what about thiefs, scams etc? Are those common in there?
>>1062995
Been there. Feels more safe than Germany.
Hey /trv/,
I'm planning to go on a trip to Mexico City in march. Where do I get cheap flights from Germany? Is Air Iberia to be recommended? Any tips for picking a hotel? What should I avoid at all costs? Oh, and what should I definitly visit when I'm there? General tips are appreciated
>>1059069
Anyone have any suggestions for things people can do in Mexico City from 9 pm to 6 am ?
Huge ass layover there.
>>1059069
>What should I avoid at all costs?
Hail a taxi on the street, calling for a taxi, and using any public transportation. At. All. Use your hotel and the more expensive drivers and cars they have vetted. A local guide for the day to go around town would be a great idea if you are alone and the tall light skinned person.
Everything in a basic guidebook is indeed all the highlights. Where you want to stay depends on your restaurant desires, i'd say. The park has terrific museums, they're not overrated, nor is the zoo or the castle.
The best restaurant for really good indigenous food is Fonda de Refugio (while you're in the zona rosa). There are probably a good 2 dozen world class chefs with hot and amazing restaurants right now there. Get a several course meal with wine for like USD$20-30 and eat all night for nothing. If you want to do the famous San Angel Inn (and you should for historical reasons), there's a great Frida museum right next to it now.

>Local guide
I'm visiting a friend, I think I got that covered.
Why no public transportation?
I've booked a return to Italy for £50.
The hand luggage dimensions are reasonable from my previous experiences and they're always cheap and decent when flying short distances.
Is Ryanair hate just a big meme?
they're only the really really bad in europe, would be perfectly fine for a domestic south sudan flight.
not every airline has to be good.
if you didn't have bad experiences with them, good for you, keep going.
i just had enough of the 6-8 hr delays and waiting in a tent to be carried with a bus to the aircraft to meet the clueless stewards sort of deal.
Yeah it's just a meme/people enjoying drama on the internet. If you give me a 3 hour flight for less than the cost of the airport transfer, you can treat me like shit if you want to. It beats walking.
If you play by their rules there's no problem... Their customer service has a terrible rep but I've never had to deal with it so I couldn't give a fuck
So, I'll be moving to Qatar in about a month because of my job. What can I expect? I hear it's pretty fucking awesome.
say hi to clock boy for me
>>1063851
I kek'd. I will if I see him.
>I hear it's pretty fucking awesome
You definitely heard wrong. Qatar is pretty boring, m8.
hey /trv/ im just looking for an article on a social issue in Thailand. I am going travelling there and would like to be given a bit of context of where i am travelling to. any help?
>>1063309
bump
- why so many women, so few children
- why so nice ( i was at zero touristy areas and they are super nice)
- why so succesful/developed
that's what i saw, when i was there
>>1063521
I'll dig up some articles for you. The developed part, if you let the Thais tell it, is because they are the only Asian country that was never colonized.
Thailand has a birthrate issue, but so do many developed societies these days. The women do outnumber the men, though, and abortions are not common. Most will have the kid if they get knocked up. The niceness has a lot to do with the whole Buddhist thing and also their cultural concept of "sanuk"
>>1063543
Not sure why I am googling this for yu when you can do it yourself. Also do note that a lot of the women you see are far younger than than look. Like most Asians Thais don't hit the wall until their 60s/70s. And look very young until then. My girlfriend is 30 and looks 15.

I'm visiting Bangkok next week on business and fancy having fun with bar boys to get some no strings relief.
Any tips for the best bars and guys to meet?
That is so gay.
Anyone have experiences with mail order brides? Im considering one from the Philippines.
>>1064008
If youre attractive enough to get a normal girl, you're much better getting a normal girl. If you're so ass ugly you have to buy a wife, then the moment she can she will leave you
>>1064008
What part of this plan seems like a good idea?
>>1064008
what is even the price for a Philippine wife?
Many come to NYC and fail to explore the geologic wonders of upstate New York.

/out/ wasn't enough? now you have to shill here?
take your quartz and shove it up your fucking shill ass
>>1064433
Not OP, but this is actually interesting to some of us. I've done travel to look for fossils and rocks and stuff. Hiddenite, NC has some very unusual minerals that you can only find there, and Utah has some awesome fossils. Herkimer is so cool because the Herkimer crystals form so slowly that they're usually more transparent and double-terminated, and some of them may even have petrol inclusions inside of them.
All up and down the east coast are places to find cool treasures like this. It's a shame that there are very few places overseas that'll allow you to search the mines. No Madagascar labradorite, no Pakistani aquamarine, no Vietnamese rubies.
>>1064438
i agree with you, rocks are cool. but this fucking faggot is going to spam the shit out this board with a sales pitch
I'm a britfag engaged to an American.
Looking at all the visas and requirements etc is extremely overwhelming, confusing and depressing.
Does anyone have any experience with this? We've mainly been looking at her moving to the uk, but I'm open to look at moving to the US.
Whichever way round is easier. We just want to finally live in the same damn country.
Which way around is easier (us to uk, uk to us) and which visas are the easiest to do?
Probably would be easier for her to go to UK with you. The immigration act of 1965 closed the door to white euros and swung the door wide open to the third world. If you had been mexican rather than British you would have no problem getting a visa.
>>1064225
>closed the door to white euros and swung the door wide open to the third world. If you had been mexican rather than British you would have no problem getting a visa
Yeah, this is what pisses me off he most. It's the same in Britain. Not trying to be /pol/ or anything but they make it hard as fuck for people like my fiancée but some 3rd world shit that can't speak English literally just knocks the door and Britain does everything for them, gives them a place to live, everything hassle free
What are your tax requirements if you move to the USA? I know she will still pay taxes to the USA if she moves to the UK, but then again the pound is more than the dollar.
Thoughts on war tourism?
Have you encountered armed conflict on the road?
Have you participated?
>>1063976
Planning on traveling to kiev, Ukraine.
It's pretty fucked up right now, my main concern is my own safety. I'm from Canada, the closest thing i have seen to war was downtown Vancouver when the Canucks lost in the Stanley cup final
>>1064048
Think less about your safety and more about the ways to profit from the ~45% annual inflation.
>>1064069
My money will go far there, I intend to stay in Ukraine for awhile. How else would I profit???
I'm a pharmacist in Australia. Managed to find a job despite the fact that the job market is saturated. What I love is teaching though. I took part in teaching voluntary programs during summer and I really enjoyed them, and I find teaching much more rewarding than my current job as a pharmacist.
Is a career change (i.e. becoming a high school teacher) worth it?
My parents taught for their careers, and they think that it is ridiculous how I am thinking of this career change.
Another question: I have citizenship in another country. I am interested in working there (stayed there in the past and love it). Is it better for me to get a teaching degree there so that I can do a bit of networking there? I want to teach there and see what life is like in a different country. It will be expensive though and means that I have to drop everything.
>>1063918
Did you ask the exact same question on here recently?
Pharmacists make a lot more money than teachers do. Why not work as a pharmacist for a few more years, get some contacts in a local university and try teaching courses there? High school teachers have it pretty rough for the most part.
>>1063967
Yes but I don't think you replied.
I really hate studying Pharmacy. I really don't want to go to grad school and study more courses related to Pharmacy.
Well I think I can earn enough to live comfortably as a teacher even though I earn less than a pharmacist, so the decrease in salary does not matter that much. I can also work in international schools and travel the world and these schools pay pretty well.
>>1063918
What is the country you have citizenship in? Have you looked at the working conditions and salaries of teachers in that country?
They have to quit their jobs in their homelands and there is no guarantee that they will get their jobs back. Why would a firm hire someone who quit their jobs for a year or two? They will probably forget what they learned.
Why don't these people just travel during their holidays if they want to see the world? Becoming an ESL teacher makes no sense.
>They have to quit their jobs in their homelands and there is no guarantee that they will get their jobs back.
Many people do it directly out of university. There's no guarantee of anything in life. No guarantee you won't one day regret your commitment to the rat race. No guarantee you won't die tomorrow.
>Why would a firm hire someone who quit their jobs for a year or two?
Why not? This isn't some fucking rule.
>They will probably forget what they learned.
Why? Source? Yup I'm gonna forget everything I learned about finance in 4 years of college just because I sang songs to some kids in Taiwan for a year.
>Why don't these people just travel during their holidays if they want to see the world?
Because traveling alone is a net loss of money while teaching pays you? ESL is a long term thing meaning you get to experience a country for longer and on a deeper level than just visiting?
>Becoming an ESL teacher makes no sense.
You make no sense, and on top of it you are clearly that pertinacious ESL hater that has showed in the last couple threads. Dude, give it a rest.
>>1063894
>No guarantee you won't one day regret your commitment to the rat race. No guarantee you won't die tomorrow.
What are the chances of thaf happening? Very unlikely? It is a waste to just go teacg ESL abroad when you can progress onwards towards a nice job.
>Why not? This isn't some fucking rule.
Think about it. Let's say a Law graduate can't find a law job after graduation. His chances of finding one in future years is very unlikely. Who the fuck will hire him instead of a local graduate?
>Yup I'm gonna forget everything I learned about finance in 4 years of college just because I sang songs to some kids in Taiwan for a year.
See above.
>Because traveling alone is a net loss of money while teaching pays you?
But you can find a well-paid, stable job which pays WAY more than teaching English abroad..
>You make no sense, and on top of it you are clearly that pertinacious ESL hater that has showed in the last couple threads. Dude, give it a rest.
Who?
Not all our lives revolve around ruthlessly chasing careers and money and whatever yuppie lifestyle your soulless boring bitch ass Chinese parents beat you into wanting. Just imagine it, graduating uni and going straight into working 9-5 to afford your studio apartment and $10 beers at some shitty inner city pub just to be desirable to other pretentious cunts when you could be living free, watching the Ganges roll by or camping in the Sahara.
Stay pleb mother fucker
>not traveling in First Class
What's your excuse, /trv/?
Not worth the money. I mean I like the extra legspace but the other extras are things I don't care for. And just legspace isn't worth that kind of money. The only possible exceptions are long flights. But unless you go to another continent - not worth considering.
>>1063492
Too expensive for a little quality gain. Better travel in cheap class fag. And buying it for interbationsl flights if 8 or more hours its not worthed
>>1063492
I'm the kind of guy that packs my own lunch.
