I was wondering if /jp/ could help me find this place.
I have looked at pictures of suspended bridges in Japan for nearly an hour now and have found pretty much nothing giving me a clue where the heck this is.
I believe it's a park of some sort, with a very distinct suspended bridge that I couldn't find online, massive shrubbery, and rushing rapids.
An important detail is that this was during the 90s, so the park and bridge may have changed a bit since then, but I would very much doubt it would be very drastic.
I have found a few clues...

Have you tried contacting the band, asking where they took the pic?

Polydor records, according to Wiki-p,, would be worth a contact.
Just found out I'll be in Ireland for a week. Have a month off from work in August so I figured I'd meet my sister there while she's traveling with a couple of friends.
My question is basically what should I do? Landing in Dublin but I think the group will be willing to go to the southwest of Ireland. Renting a car necessary for this?
Although I'd love to I don't think we'll be visiting the six counties.
Any tips in general?

Share ideas and recommendations for visiting Portugal. I am about to leave on the 10th of July and stay there for a while. I am starting in Lisbon for 7 days, and I want to get the most out of my trip.
7 days is way too long for lisbon IMO. Beautiful city, but there's not much to do there. If you can, I'd reccomend renting a car and driving around, the area is really nice. There's some nice beaches around too. Don't remember the details unfortunately, was there some years ago.
Bumping for any advice on what to do in or near Porto. Won a free stay for a couple of nights at a 5-star hotel in the city, but would obviously like to extend the trip by a few days in another place nearby to make the plane tickets worth it.
>>1135251
I will be in Lisbon from 25 till 30 July. I will take the train to Porto in the morning. I'll fly back in the evening on the 3rd of August.
Aside from the typical sightseeing, do you have any recommendations for nightlife and nature/beaches?
I am a Japanese girl who recently got into partying and drinking. I will be traveling around Europe for two months and I plan to go to bars there. What are some tips for staying safe? My face becomes red even if I drink half a cup of alcohol and I don't want to become a target for men with Asian fetish who think that it is easy to have sex with us.
Let's just test out this hide thread feature...

What kind of man (or woman) are you trying to attract?
>>1134336
FYI, drunk Japanese women are incredibly easy. But stay away from anyone who isn't white, and you'll be fine. In fact, the darker the skin, the further you need to stay away.
Hey guys, saw a few threads along these lines so thought I'd post up some of my plans for the beginning of my trip to try get a feel of the places I'm going to and to make sure I don't miss any obvious landmarks or scenic drives. I'm big into my history so hoping to see some good sites.
Looking to drive through most of Eurasia in a large loop over a year. Here's my plans for the first leg which I've allocated 30-35 days for, before cracking into Russia. I'm not from Europe so any information would be appreciated.

I would sooner ride straight through Denmark (so head pretty much North at J) and then jump on the ferry from Fredrikshamn to Goteborg. The ride from Goteborg to Oslo is OK, but long, and the Kopenhavn-Goteborg ride will be a dull ride through forests and stuff. I've (bi)cycled from Esbjerg to Fredrikshamn and it was incredible, motorbikes will have to take a different route though but its much prettier. Oslo to Stockholm will be long but beautiful, a lot of pretty lakes and scenery throughout, real quiet and...

by that of course i mean farms

The first part of your journey is through some densely populated parts of the EU. I hope you have enough riding experience because that part isnt very motorcycle friendly. Not trying to scare you but it's just very packed roads.
Driving in Germany and beyond should be more of a breeze.
If you're into /out/ you should venture deeper into norway. Not that much north, just northwest a bit. Sweden is pretty much flatter than Norway.
Belgium has some nice cities close to each other with history...

Can we have a caucasus general?
I am going there next month for around 30 days (Georgia, Azerbaijan and Armenia). I don't have the Azeri visa yet (booked this trip last minute). Anyone got any experience of how to go about getting this in Tblisbi or Batumi? Will be on a French passport if that makes any difference.
i was there a few years ago, got the azeri visa in batumi at the azeri embassy.
You can get it in tbilisi or batumi. Did the same and it takes a few days. Note that you cant apply for a visa on fridays in tbilissi

I really liked the parks in Prague. climb up to that jan zizkov statue and go to the beergarden in the park near the radio-tower. also the park on the other side of the river, climb up to the petrin tower. the castle was cool as well, if you are very tight on money you could skip paying and not visit the interiors of the buildings though.
For food I realy liked Cafe Pavlac, try the rice/chicken sandwich its great. A chinese place called Harmony is nice too, cheap with huge portions.
I didnt really...

I went to Cross Club when I was there, it's supposed to be way less touristy than Karlovy lázně. It was pretty fun, and had cool decorations and shit.

I try to collect currency from every country I visit. I unfortunately forgot to save paper notes from Georgia, Iceland, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and a handful of other countries. However, I have a metric shit-ton of coins from those places and elsewhere.
I don't have any banknotes from anywhere I haven't visited, except for the single Russian ruble note, which a friend gave to me.

This might be a good thread to post in rather then starting my own...
I'm about to start traveling and was thinking of ways to take unique mementos from all the countries and/or cities I visit.
I can think of a lot of obvious things, it all seems a little too cliche. I will probably keep a little bit their currency anyway, but that's not really the kind of memento that I am talking about.
Anyone have any ideas that will leave me feeling like I've actually got something worth keeping...

Try and use actual, explanatory numbers instead of your craptastic Paint®©™ skills. I have no idea what your itinerary is supposed to look like.
Where are you starting, in which direction are you going? I have no clue whatsoever here.

hi,
Im in a bit of a problem here /trv/, I spent about 3 years uni studying Comp Sci and due to some unforseen circumstances I wont be able to continue. I had planned on doing my masters at a German uni but now considering my situation Im thinking of applying for bachelors at a German uni, but my question is would German unis consider the past subjects taken during those years, would they acknowledge them somehow? or is is strictly forbidden?
>>1136900
which past subjects?
>>1136904
The study material i took for 3 years.. almost all computer science related.

I'm going to the US Virgin Islands by myself on Wednesday. I've traveled several times in the past, but never by myself. I'm actually pretty nervous. I have no idea what I will do there. I just saw flights were cheap and I got a really nice, seafront hotel room with a balcony. But I don't know what to do.
Any tips for traveling alone?
try not to get yourself into a problem, be sane and respect local people
I don't know what you can do at US Virgin Islands, but since it's Caribbean I would do some outdoors stuff, such as diving, of course regarding all safety rules.
BTW How much was the ticket?
>>1136882
When I booked them, they were about $320 round trip. And I had a credit with United Airlines so I'm flying 1st Class down there.
Of course I won't cause any problems. I'm more of a quiet person anyways.

I am a student taking a summer course in France right now. Before I came here, I was expecting to stay with a host family who will show you around town based on my previous experiences. My current host family is not into showing us around town. The food they cook for us tend to be the ones easiest to prepare and I cannot help but think that living with this French family does notbreslly allow me to gain an insight into French culture.
I was hoping to learn more about French culture and I don't think will happen by staying with this host family. This host family accepts...

Are you 15? Get your shit together and go discover France by yourself
Also in general people will tend to stick together with others of their own nationality, specially people from the Mediterranean countries, you don't have hang out with your nationals.. I'm assuming you're a native English speaker, which I always thought it's the worst for learning other languages through immersion.. If you wanna learn French and discover the French culture just go by yourself, maybe one of your friends want to join you, so how I said unless you're 15 you better get your shit together.
Where are you in France op?
>>1136826
I am 20. We are in a small city and there isnt much to see here
>>1136828
I am Chinese-American and I speak both Chiense fluently. There are Chinese and English speaking kids at our host family along with some Europeans who only speak French and their local language. When I speak Chinese, the English speakers will be excluded and when I speak English, the Chinese guy doing his degree in France will be excluded. So annoying
i would like to get a complete ENGLISH translation of what is on the board and the sign please so i can start search action on the internet for the exact location of this place.
from what I gather, this may be the Garrison museum.

Anyone have a preferred Traveler's Credit Card?
I plan on coming back to the states in about three years, I would like a card to tide me over until I'm at least a few paychecks into my new job.
What are your experiences?

>I plan on coming back to the states in about three years, I would like a card to tide me over until I'm at least a few paychecks into my new job.
Uhhh, don't spend money you don't have if you are unemployed. Travel as a reward for hard work, not on loan.
>>1136339
I begin my new job when I get there. I meant that I need a card to pay off apartment and startup costs.

All sugestions welcome.
