>retarded white women trying to explore their "spiritual" side and disgusting hippies everywhere
Holy shit, does India ever attracted the absolute worse, most shit-tier tourists in the world.
What have been your shittiest experiences with other tourists, /trv/?
>>1123436
In india, the locals combined with the tourists made me wish for a comet to hit earth.
Hahaha damn. Didn't realize how douchey India probably is. Plus they bathe in a shit river. Fuck them.
>>1123438
Exactly. Tourists treat the people like fucking safari animals. And the locals actually indulge them.
India, why the fuck do you put up with this shit??
I'm trying to fly from Boston to Denver this July. I already have set dates, though. Any advice on getting a cheap flight?
>>1130930
>cheap flight
>denver
pick 1. although the sticky does have a couple good sites you can check out
Yeah, I'm realizing that. It's weird, since so many airlines route through Denver. Still, I'm trying to get there as cheaply as possible. I'm thinking of Spirit Airlines, but I'm cautious of their bag restrictions.
>>1130931
i picked up sf-denver for $160 roundtrip in may. my wife had 6 days off so we just went on a whim.
Ok, so I am going to Sathon Bangkok Thailand at the beginning of July for 2 weeks (randomly selected the location in bangkok and bought the tickets n hotel). Why am i going? to have fun..I'm not huge into touristy shit and I've never paid for sex (I've got to several strip clubs and have only got a few dances). I am not trying to bang a ladyboy...i think...any suggestions on what to do there? will I be safe taking a random taxi from the airport (does my luggage put me at any risk..like if i have a hiking bag or a rolley bag or a big duffel)? am i better off just traveling light and buying shit there? best clubs (hipster places..chill places..or clubs)? i love thai food (spicy thai salad and tom yum soup in particular), any suggested locations to eat at, maybe a place with a show too? how fucked am i only being able to speak english?
More importantly i have always wanted to wingsuit, can i do that there without having the certifications (does anybody know a location)? I've tandem jumped and I kind of jump out of planes for a living...but at a lower altitude with harder to control parachutes.

that thread is mainly about whores and HIV lol

Best/Recommended Museums in Vienna?
>>1130784
There's a good military museum if you're into that sort of thing
Plus many of the Hapsburg palaces are now museums
Mozart's apartment has been turned into a museum.
I went to Vienna last february and can say that Vienna is a big museum on it's own. If you're into Sissi and the Austro-Hungarian empire your best bets are the Schönbrunn and Hobburg palaces. The Natural History and Albertina museums are bretty good too.
Going to Amsterdam-Berlin-Warsaw-Prague this summer over a period of about two weeks. Anyone got any tips on what to see, where to avoid, and on some lesser known places to see that won't be so packed with tourists? Relatively low budget so looking mostly at free stuff to go see or venues charging less than 10 euros. Travelling by train all the way btw.
Yes, avoid cities. Because why does everyone just city-hop in Europe.
go see some nazi shit in berlin and warsaw mara also go see what anne franks upto marra
I'm from Amsterdam. What are your interests?
General tips are getting weed from Dampkring and chill in Vondelpark, just walking about the Canals, boat tour of the Canals, walking around the Wallen (red light district).
Amsterdam is not really big, outside of the city centre most is residential.
From the D.C. area. Haven't been to the South very often though, let alone cities there. But my career path may very well likely take me to Atlanta. What's a basic primer for a newcomer to The Gate City?
>>1130634
Make sure you have a good car, and get used to traffic
>>1130658
Pretty sure DC is the only place in the country with worse traffic than Atlanta. Although I'm sure LA is in the mix somewhere too
>>1130658
>get used to traffic
>from DC
As an anon from Northern Virginia, we live and breathe traffic here.
If you had 3 weeks off work in August, and had a reasonable amount of disposable cash, where would you travel to?
Define reasonable.
Also where do I live in this hypothetical situation?
>>1130605
London
About $5000
3 weeks with 5000$ ? Hmmm either Usa or Tahiti
Hello all I'll be going to Dubrovnik in August anyone know any good edm clubs there?
>>1130543
>edm
>>1130543
I am in Split right now but have no idea what the club scene is like here. Hope you find what youre looking for but if you dont the country is beautiful and there is plenty to see outside of the clubs.
>>1130543
I don't know, buddy, have you tried consulting Google?
Hi, I'm going to America next month, I am starting in New York, getting a train down to Washington, getting another train to Virginia because I have family down there, then I am going to Orlando. I'm wondering if I should rent a car to get down there or just fly, I can only stay for a month so I want to spend as long as possible in Orlando however I'm wondering if there is anything worth seeing in the Carolinas and Georgia, how long the car journey would take and if it just easier to fly.
>>1130525
I say drive. Road trips are fun and you can visit Charleston and Savannah. Are you really going to miss a couple days in Orlando when you're already staying there for weeks? (I assume you have friends or family in Orlando, because I haven't heard a lot of great things about it). Hell, if you drove, you could even take a detour through the beautiful blue Ridge mountains/asheville, but that would add at least a day to your drive probably. Sorry, I'm on my phone so I can't look up drive times. Either way, I hope you have a nice trip to the US
>>1130553
I'd tend to agree, but the highways throuh low country SC GA and FL are pretty boring.
>>1130557
You have a point there, although there are some cool marshes.
Hello /trv/,
I recently got accepted for a working holiday visa for Ireland and am hoping to get a few questions answered before going. Keep in mind I have never been to Ireland, but have been dating an Irish girl (from Ireland) for over 4 years now.
What are the job prospects like in Cork City? I mean in an overall sense. I am willing to take on a low-level customer service job when I first arrive.
That being said does anyone have any idea of what the job prospects are like for chemical/industrial engineers in Cork?
Finally, what are some travel and cultural norms I should adjust to. I have been told that Irish are very friendly, family focused, and do love to drink as the stereotype says. I also have been told to be mindful of "knackers" and "travelers" as well.
Any and all information welcome.
Also Ireland Traveling/Living general.
Where are you travelling from?
Gypos are normally fine just don't antagonise them (if you're from USA think of hillbillies).
Chemical engineering work you will prob find mostly around Dublin or up north, there is a large pharmecutical plant at the border in NI called Norbrook who are always looking people. (Although not sure how this will work with visas etc).
People are normally pretty alright if you're American try to keep your voice down (you guys talk really loud). Don't compare everything with the States unless asked a question and you should be fine as long as you're not a dick. ;-)
>>1130514
There's a lot of environmental science all over (Shannon, for example) , pharmaceutical is more Galway/Dublin
>>1130514
If you're American, don't shout stupid shit all of the time. Don't act Irish. Prepare for banter (basically insulting the arse off of each other) . Don't say "EYE-YURR-LAND"
So I'm going to be in Japan from 01-19 July, around the Saitama and Tokyo areas. So I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on places to visit or see that aren't really listed much in tourist information. Like, do you have a favourite shop to go to, or place to eat at? Even a park that you liked visiting. Anything really!
Check the Japan General in the catalog
I have, but it is hard to keep track of shit when there are copious amounts of conversations. This is more convenient.
>>1130531
for you.
Not for the thousands of people that browse this board, princess.
ITT: Story of how you got scammed
> be me traveling mexico
> get credit card terminated by bank because of suspect withdrawals
> no problem, i have my debit card with me
> fast forward two weeks
> debit card terminated because $1000 withdrawn from Texas
> probably got fucked by Pemex employee or at random ATM
> all I have is $100 cash
I love dealing with this kind of bullshit when I'm traveling, it just makes everything more enjoyable and less stressful. Thanks scammers!
>>1130355
I once had trouble swiping my Metrocard in Newark to get on the Path and some nigger "helped me" by taking my card out of my hand, swiping me in, then gave me an empty card he was holding, effectively swapping with me. It happened too fast. Fucking Newark.
>>1130379
That's what you get for not recognizing one of the oldest scams ever , what a retarded excuse of a traveler
>>1130380
I'm not a "traveler", and blame the shitty metrocard. Jokes on him, he lives in Newark.
As the post states, i need to find a way to leave the country or lay low for quite awhile, potentially earning some sort of money to stay afloat. Any tips on the best places to acheive this? I was thinking Canada but without a passport card im not sure how id drive across the border. Any help/tips much appreciated.
How long?
How much cash you have?
Your best bet would be a commune or organic farm, don't know what state your in so cant say much more than that. But you can go live with some hippies for free if you'll tend their crops.
Crossing the border into Canada is a bad idea. Security has been improved, you would end up dealing with federal law enforcement, and Canada isn't an easy place to live as a non Canadian. Canada doesn't have anywhere near as much casual labor, there's really no landscaping or unskilled construction 4 months of the year. There's also a much better 'guest' worker program. You'd also have to leave Canada, it's not just one border crossing to worry about.
>>1130244
›how long
As long as possible
›how much cash?
Unfortunately not much under 1000.
Ive considered communes but im having a hard time finding communes and communicating with them seeing as most dont have an online presense. Im in Indiana
>>1130235
I'm interested in the story that lead to your current situation.
What's cool to do in Boston?
Fenway
Visit the two schools you'll never get into.
>Museum of Fine Arts
Fucking huge with a lot to see. They have lots of rembrandt and a decent modern art section. Get there early, it's impossible to see everything in a day (free on Wednesdays also)
>New England Aquarium
Kind of shitty aquarium-wise but still fun
>Revere Beach
A short subway trip, this beach is actually pretty nice although the snootier locals tend to shit on it. Go to Kellys Roast Beef if you visit, it's a local classic.
>Central Square, Cambridge
Another short subway trip, this is the run-down area of Cambridge which has a bunch of great music venues, some cool restaurants, and record stores.
>Rent a hubway bicycle
Boston is very walkable and recently has become much better for biking. I bike (almost) everywhere in the city, and even the more distant neighborhoods are a 25 minute ride away. The hubway bikes look stupid, but if you get as frustrated with the transit as I do as a resident, it's worth the switch.
Boston resident btw, AMA
Planning a trip to LA and will be coming in from I-210 heading west. Will be there for 3-4 days and was wondering If a trip to the Salton Sea is worth the detour. Heard good things about it from my friends. Should I go or not. I love exploring abandoned buildings in my home town and think it will be a great experience.
It's worth to tour it for a day. See East Jesus, Slab City, Salvation mountain and Bombay Beach.
It has Joshua Tree and Anza Borrego nearby too.
Don't underestimate the heat and humidity of this area. When visiting it I had sweat burning my eyes after 10 minutes of being outside of the car.
In summer, most of the slabs will be empty, and the people that ARE still there will be inside of their trailers hiding from the sun.
>>1129758
>>1129788
There are a lot of awesome abandoned buildings. I'd recommend Salton City, there are a lot of cool old buildings there.
As for Slab City, it can be a pretty dangerous place. Slab City and the nearby town of Niland are probably the most dangerous place I've ever been. People live there to be away from authority for a reason. People go missing there all the time. It's the only place I've ever been where someone tried to fight me. I wouldn't recommend visiting if you're a girl without a male companion.
Anza Borrego is a very beautiful area. There is awesome hiking and unspoiled desert landscapes.
Overall there are a lot of things to do out in the desert, but security is a major concern around Slab City and it may very well be 120F+ I personally wouldn't sacrifice a day seeing something else in SoCal for the Salton Sea, but if you're into abandoned buildings and that sort of thing it might be a cool place for you.
>>1129942
Lol theres loads of people that pass through there.
