This may not be the right place to ask this, but do you guys know of anywhere in the Middle East that would be good (and cheap) to learn Arabic?
I was looking at the Eton Institute in Dubai, as it's not too expensive and seems pretty good. Dubai doesn't seem like a very fun place to spend a few weeks though... I mean like organised programs rather than just living out there in a hostel or something as I'd probably just end up speaking English the whole time.

I'm having a hard time figuring out how to word this question
Basically, I'm wondering which large cities are liked by a high percentage of people who travel and live there. It seems like even top destinations (including but not limited to London, Paris, Tokyo, NYC, Hong Kong, Chicago, Toronto) have a long list of people who dislike them. If you mention you're travelling to one of those cities you will almost certainly find people who say "It's overrated" or "I didn't care for it". However, I rarely hear a bad word about Prague...

Chiang Mai, what's there to hate? other then too many digital noamds
I rarely hear anything bad about Copenhagen and Stockholm. Same with Amsterdam as you mentioned.
>>1134928
>and also, which city seems to always get a ton of unjustified flak?
I was really pleasantly surprised by my visit to Cleveland a few years back. I went there for a wedding and while I wouldn't make a point of visiting it just for tourism, if you're going there anyway for whatever reason checking out the city is really fun.
Which docs/films about traveling does /trv/ recommend?
I recently watched A Map for Saturday which was very well done
https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=A+Map+for+Saturday
All of Michael Palin's travel documentaries are great. The Hemingway one isn't that good unless you like Hemingway though.

I really enjoy the Top Gear specials...
An Idiot Abroad.
Bit of an unorthodox show of course but it's funny.
Rick Steves if I want to go in depth and get some history in aswell.

It makes me feel like I should find an online converter to know what 9400 feet means in non retard units but at the same time what's the point

I'm sorry for not being Kasparek...
Disney Theme Park general
Feel free to ask about any Disney theme park. Rides worth going on etc.
I work at Disney World, so feel free to ask anything and I'll answer to the best of my ability.
Of you have Minecraft there is a huge server rebuilding everything wdw at a 1:1 scale (closes you can I suppose). Mcmagic I believe.
>>1132432
if you are still there, best time to go? Want low wait times.
>>1132432
Are prices getting lower because of the Orlando shootings? It's always expensive as all fuck even in the off-peak times.
doe's anybody go bicycle touring?
i have cycled over 19,000 miles.
seen & learnt so much that ive forgotten most of my travels.
I'd love to but the roll on my bike is very inefficient since it's cheap so you need to be constantly putting more energy in than is actually needed. Tried oiling but it only works for a short while.
Otherwise I've been thinking about just biking to another country, maybe some ones next to those but it's pretty lengthy if I get tired after like 60km a day.
Are your legs super strong?
what setup are you using? my bike just got stolen so I was thinking of saving up for a surly LHT.
So after a very unfortunate turn of plans resulting in missing Bonnaroo this year, I now have an excess of money saved up and an intense need to get out of the South. I live in North MS and I'm taking the next year off before I go off to a major university, so I've been loosely planning on road tripping to the west coast, but I'm having a little bit of a difficulty planning out the places I definitely should hit on the way there.
What are some recommendations of places I definitely should see? What places out west are completely overrated in your opinion?
Also, has anyone visited Sedona, AZ before? Is it worth stopping by in my trip or not really?
>>1136633
Hit some other festivals. Look into wayhome, its in canada bit the same people who organize bonnaroo run that as well. Itll be the 2nd year for that fest.
Just sayin, since i went to roo solo this year and had one of the best times of my entire life.
>>1136635
It's cool for the geological features and nature. The city itself is a pseudo-hippy newage bullshitfest.
any experiences with Alanya? I'm sort of...going there with my family and I'm not sure if the islamic doctrine is strong there. I've seen videos with bars and nightclubs but I'm still unsure how to approach the destination by attitude...
I went there three times with my family. Having never been abroad elsewhere it was cool then (I was 12-15 I think).
Not sure what to tell you exactly. The beach on the right side of the castle or whatever was better iirc. Prepare to die in the heat.
>>1136455
Antalya (100km further West) is a bit better but nevertheless the experience wil lbe similar. The islamic doctirne is almost non existent for tourists and they are quite used to tourists so you must not be scared about any behavoir tabus.
As a turk, i can only say that lt is the best part of the turkey right now. There arent any islamic shit. You can do whatever you want without any problem. The weather is may little b a problem but it is ok you will get used to it.
How the fuck do I travel if I have no job and am a student about to finish my degree?
I hate my """"friends"""" and have an immense urge to travel, I hate where I live and want to get out and not come back in years
How do I do it without resorting to prostitution or such?
>>1136367
If you're from an English speaking country, consider teaching english abroad. If you're American there is also the Peace Corps or you could sell yourself for money
>>1136367
You don't.
Not sure where you are from but the US has a lot of opportunities working seasonally in beautiful places that provide housing. Lodges, camp stores, ski resorts. Pretty much any national or state park you can think of has them. The work sucks of course but the days off make it worth it. I know even NZ has the same opportunities. Would definitely recommend.
Hey /trv/ I took this trip to get to Cali for an internship. Ask me anything.
I did it solo and camped the entire way.
I can post pics if you dudes want.
>>1136255
y tho
>>1136263
Why what? I had never seen most of the country so I wanted to see all the different types of people and landscapes.
Where did you camp, and was it free camp or paid? Why did you select this route? How horrible were the great plains? How many hours a day did you drive? What gear did you use? What did you eat?
My impression is you didn't plan the route based on cool shit, just the shortest road.
Hi /trv/, in 2 weeks time i will be in Milano and from there i will travel to Venice. Anyway, i figured that this is my chance to see the St Johann Church in the dolomites. (pic related) It has been on my bucket list for very long and i really want to go.
I have done some research about how to get there but it has not yet made me much smarter so i am asking /trv/:
How the fuck do you get here by public transport?
Like, what town should i be based in? Bolzano? Can you take a local bus out there?
I would be very grateful if anyone who has traveled there without a car...
Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>1136181
impossible m8, get a car for a day
Bolzano is your best bet to be based in
Which one is it? There is roughly hundred churches of st. Johann in Italy.
>>1136192
nevermind, found it. It's the one near Vilnöß?
There is train station/stop called "Villnösser Haltestelle" between Bozen and Brixen, but I can find a railway connection to it.
Its only 10km from Brixen (but with mountains in between!), so, try to hike there? The landscape is way to fantastic to only go around by car.
Going to be going with my Girlfriend to Florence for 2 days full days. Any suggestions? Uffizi seems to be the only thing to do from a quick look.
>>1136050
Im there in 3 Days, plz send Foto so I can punch you
Florence is the most beautiful city in the world. Jampacked with things to do and explore.
>>1136065
I'll be there. Where you staying? fight?

such a bad trolling attempt, it made me both weep and use the word weep.
So, I was thinking of going to Lyon via CS and a guy told me I could go there, but now he lives naked "because of the heat".
Should I go and be anal raped or try a new one?
>>1135862
Use your common sense, dude.
/thread
Idk man he has a lot of references, mostly positive
>>1135862
Obviously go and get anal raped. Why even make this thread?
