Let's talk about Eastern Europe travel here.Give me your favorite Eastern European spots/suggestions.
>>2650700Bratislava is crazy on weekend nights when the weather is nice. The whole fucking city parties outside in old town
>>2651293No one likes darkies here
>>2651355Is that opinion based on unbiased observation and good faith?
>>2651365I'll say this, you will stick out like a sore thumb as a brown person in Czech, especially outside of Prague. If you do any brown skinned things like steal, fight, or cause problems, you won't get away with it.
>>2651387>you will stick out like a sore thumbAnd? I asked if dark people suffer prejudice, not if they're rare, which it's obvious looking at the demographics.
Going to travel there in July with my parents and brother for my pa's 60th birthday. Any recommendations?
Is Austria expensive?I have a feeling it is and won't bother if so.
>>2650654she is Chinese but I am notalso it's mainly Koreans
>>2650532+1 for driving through the Alps and checking out villages. >>2650690It's definitely more expensive than Slovenia or Czech, but not as bad as Switzerland. You get really spoiled drinking giant beers in Czech for less than 2 euros. It doesn't taste as good when they cost 3 times as much in Austria or 5 times as much in Swiss.
>>2650525She is a catch, people Vomit kn the streets every day, I've yet to see any Vomit in a bit, Bins aren't everywhere and she managed to keep the awareness while being on the verge of throwing up to seek one out, as not to be a disgusting piece of shit like everyone's else. Anakn has a good Chinese nu ren.
>>2650233>>2650285imagine being bored in Vienna after two days. kek. Smells like generic Chinese tourists. If all you do is see the sights and take pictures, you might as well not go. Just 3d view google maps that shit. Even if you don't like the city there's plenty to do. Even though my question would be why to go on a city trip in the first place. Let me put it this way. If you don't like Vienna you can hardskip most of Europe. Vienna is easily the best city in central Europe.
i saved up 20 thousand to blow on my vacations. should i go to dubai or paris?
>he could've invested that money
>>2650963Yeah so you can make 3% returns in an economy with annual 5% inflation rate
Literally wtf is wrong with Dubai?
>>2651327No sewer system + a lot of indians.the rest is history
>>2650320>two predominately muslim citiesalso if you're determined to blow that entire 20k then just go to tokyo or something
I am considering moving to the UK, but whenever I hear anything about the UK from UK citizens in Canada is that Canada is so much better, Canada is great, the UK is horrible etc. Most British say they are much happier in Canada, the standard of living is much better, higher quality of life, the people are nicer etc. Online, the UK seems to be a standard for everything a bad country is. Instead of "at least we're not Mississippi" the expression is "at least we're not the UK". Is the UK really that bad of a country?
>>2647876This country is a fucking dump, Scotland and London are as communist as Canada and the rest of the country is not far behind. Even the hordes of third worlders here are waking up to how doomed this nation is.
>>2647876The UK is unironically a failing state. Life for most of the population is dire. Cities are crumbling. Culture is dead. More and more immigrants are being sandwiched in. All while the weather is shit, pakis continue to make life worse for everyone around them, people get poorer and everyone is a miserable cunt with a chip on their shoulder. I was pissed off about my life in the UK and left. Never been happier. Now I don’t even like going back for the weekend.
>>2650615>>2650955>>2651266Whilst I agree with all these points, unless your career prospects are dogshit in the UK and you're on £40k or less, moving to do TEFL which has no career trajectory and basically delaying the inevitable until you have to go back and face reality isn't really the play.I'm just warning as my close friend did that from 23-35 years old, just getting pissed and living in HK / Japan / Korea. Covid happened and he lost his job / gf and moved back to the same parents council house with barely £5k in savings basically starting from square one again.UK is a shithole though, thankfully my city hasn't been infested yet with the third world.
>>2650615let's not pretend that Japan hasn't left the areas outside the big cities to rot as well
>>2651374It hasn't though. Lots of smaller cities like Himeji, Kobe, Fukuoka, Wakayama etc (I could go on forever) are well looked after. Every city about from London in the UK is a literal shithole

What should you not miss in Vienna?
I just checked something randomly, and I think flixbus removed the stop I booked to get on a bus at next month and didn't plan on telling me (i can see the bus is still running on their website, just not stopping at the stop i booked)not a question i just didn't want to make a shit thread to express what is currently generating a lot of rage in my head
Hello, I will be your seat neighbor for the next 7 hours. What do
Cast magic missle
>>2651203tik tok rage bait earns money
>>2651073Make sure the arm rest is down. I had a fatty put it up and I said I want that down. They said it hurts them down and I got the flight attendant to side with me. The fatty squirmed and purposely kept bumping me all flight. 4 hour flight. And they got up to go to the bathroom once
>>2651073One shat herself on the way to Berlin..
Hug and cuddle
Is this a safe country to travel to? How are tourists treated by the American people? What states do you recommend avoiding if any?
>>2641765to be fair most of those doomsaying posts are written by dudes that have never left their tri-county area
>>2651090Sure there are rural farm towns without a single crotch-grabbing pavement ape. However, most population centers are overrun with shiftless, gum sucking rape-apes on the prowl for victims to rob and violate
>>2651199I don't really care how you feel about black people, but for the love of Jesus, please stop being so bitchmade. It's for your own sake.
>>2651201Wait, did you just assume a specific race? How racist!
>>2639260Why can't you guys have healthcare or use the metric system? It's fucking boggling
Do you let others or things annoy you when travelling?Or do you just ignore it.If not, post examples1. Americans asking questions in a museum (it will be a moronically stupid child level question of ignorance).2. French/Dutch accent is heard nearby3. Queue skipping
>>2651304Please staaap! :(You dumb fast food lady, please stay in America, nobody wants to hear your whining
>>2651356If you seethe because an Italian man tries to go ahead of you in a line and then complain about it online, it seems to me that you're the one who is whining.
>>2651262>Assuming people just take pics of '''famous landmarks'''I'm a cityscape photographer. I capture real life in real places, faggot.
>>2651369Haha you idiot, I was giving advice. How did you get that from my comment, you're not too smart
>>26449971. An American accent ANYWHERE2. Americans eating3. Americans talking4. Americans tipping5. Americans demanding modification

>>2651258How hard is it to find a truly pious Christian girl there? Are some regions more conservative than others?>t. Christian
>>2651263Luzon Island is pure Christian
>>2651263Not hard at all. Philippines is a Catholic country and they are all over the place. This is why the Philippines is so amazing. At least one of the many reasons. You could easily just go up to a girl start talking to her and chances are she will be Christian to some degree
>>2651263pretty easy from my experience. there's some regions that are muslim so don't go there, make your research before going
>Bangkok/pattaya>Buenos Aires>CDMX>BarcelonaWhich of these 4 cities could I have the most amount of fun with nightlife and women and sightseeing/walking in a 2.5 week period as a 25 yo?
>>2649592*and most cost effective
>>2649592Bangkok/pattaya, it will change you as a person
>>2650583>scooping another dudes scuzz out of her vagina with my helmet shaped glansAbsolutely disgusting
>>2649976>it will change you as a personLolYes I suppose it is very confronting for guys to get boners over ladyboys
>>2649592It's been a long time since I was in Buenos Aires but it is a great city and great fun for walks, ok nightlife and some p4p scene if that's what you're into. I thought Pattaya was a bit of a dive and apart from the occasional stroll along Beach Rd, I didn't really like it that much. Bangkok was good because it is a complex and interesting city with it's extensive canals, markets, temples, food and red light areas. I liked Bangkok a lot more than Pattaya as it caters well to regular tourists not just sexpats. As for Barcelona and Mexico I've never been to either of them. Right now I'd probably choose Bangkok as my first preference and then either Buenos Aires or Mexico City as a second. The good thing about Bangkok is that if you're curious about Pattaya it is an easy 2 hour bus ride away.
Bún chả editionOr, "why is there not already an active general" editionWhere my Việt Nam chads at?
>>2651291Anon, i hope that the Vietnamese remain based and save themselves from the jeet cancer
>>2651291what's cumbersome about it? evisa is available to jeets
>>2651353>what's cumbersome about it? evisa is available to jeets1. If a poojeet wants to open a company in Vietnam, he has to partner up with a Vietnamese person who owns 51% of the company.2. Preference is given to a local over a foreigner, unless the foreigner is highly skilled. This is by design by the gov. Therefore you don't see 100,000 poojeets coming over for IT work. 3. There is no visa on arrival. A person must apply the visa, get approval before coming. If they want to do a visa run, they must LEAVE the country, re-apply to get the visa, then return. Luckily for Vietnam, its relatively poor which deters economic migrants like poojeets.
>>26513571 and 2 have nothing to do with visa rules and these rules are the same everywhere3 is wrong, I've done visa runs by applying for a new evisa while being in the countrythis is quite irrelevant now since you can stay 90 days on evisa

Made a few mil off crypto recently and left my dead end job. Mid-20's, little family to speak of, and only a few friends dispersed across various U.S. cities. World is my oyster, but the prospect of absolute freedom is daunting.Was thinking of heading to Latin America because it seems more open to foreigners integrating and living there semi long-term (compared to SEA/Asia). Trying to avoid running into a bunch of America boomers (like Costa Rica) or 'passport bros' in DR/Colombia. But still want somewhere comfy to NEET, lift weights, learn the local language etc. Thinking maybe Brazil? Portuguese means higher barrier to entry, plus it's further from U.S./Canada. Any other ideas? Where would you go /trv/?
>>2645167Portugal. Incredibly easy to move to with a passive income stream, with a clear and simple path to citizenship in 5 years. Not to mention it's about 100x safer than South America and you get all the benefits of living in the EU.>>2651085Nigger cash the fuck out, you made it, stop exposing yourself to the risk.
>>2651229>Nigger cash the fuck out, you made it, stop exposing yourself to the riskTurbo normie doesn't understand. The bullrun is about 6 months away you retarded faggot. Only a total mong would cash out now
>>2651231>BRO just one more I'm on a roll bro I can't quit nowYou're gonna get burned one day. Don't forget my words.
>>2651233I'm not saying hold on forever, retard. You sell somewhere late 2025. You do not sell 1 week after the halving.
>>2651246Sure you will.
Nobody ever talks about these countries. Are they shit, hidden gems, or just kind of unremarkable? A cursory glance makes me think they're good for landscape tourism and perhaps history but have shit public transport and sketchy car hire. Otherwise, unspoiled by mass tourism.What are your experiences with this forgotten corner of the Balkans, anons?
>>2650720Ah thanks for clearing that up. Super relevant to my life, can enjoy traveling to a country because they made a political move
>>2650309Ibiza is expensive now, Amsterdam hates us nowbroke uni students want to go to cheaper places - hence, Croatia Albania Xanthi Poland
>>2650302He's a Russian and he's butthurt that they don't take Ruples in Croatia or Slovenia. You can see why when $1 in the US is 92 Ruples. Their average salary is only half the EU average and 1/3 of what Americans make. When the Russians exchange their cash, they end up spending a months salary just for a family to eat out one night in Dubrovnik.
>>2651285Ah I get it now, who told them? They aren't smart enough to think for themselves, they'd have just kept on going to the same 5 countries until the end of time.Also why the hell has Ibiza gotten expensive?
>>2651336Kek thanks pretty tough
