cozy as fuck
>>53176745
I know, right? New York City apartments really high up i'd imagine could be very cozy to live in.
A city that could be considered 'big' I spent the most time in is Dublin. I take it it's a very social place. I enjoyed my time there very much.
Prague is great. Cities that still keep their traditional look like this are very rare. Anyone know some cities like Prague that have preserved this look? Budapest comes to mind but I've never been there.
Tokyo is entirely different. Ultra modern, but impressive nonetheless.
>>53177540
i have the feeling japanese are very clean, i never get to see trash in these pictures of Tokyo
>>53178572
It is true, I guess it's just a part of their culture.

>>53178572
Japan has some incredible social services. People like trash collectors and street cleaners take their jobs very seriously.
t. lived in japan for a year.
>>53178735
if we ever had a person in the education ministry saying:
"we are going to implement a system where children are asked to clean their classroom after the classes end"
people will just start flinging shit saying it's just money grabbers in the government trying to use kids as manual labour and hippies and leftists asking said person to step down
>>53177409
nah, Prague is more preserved than Budapest, mainly because they weren't rekted by neither Mongols, nor Turks, Assburgers, Germans, Allied forces and Russians.
>>53178771
How was it? Did you go live there because you had a job waiting for you or did you search for one when you arrived?
>>53178860
I feel you, I could kind of see this working in my country though, if it were presented in the right way
Pic is NYC from the Empire State Building.
>>53178906
Looks like Latvia
>>53178860

>>53178981
Foreign Student Exchange Program.
>>53179025
after so much blatant corruption this is how the majority of people end up thinking
>>53178981
>if it were presented in the right way
maybe you are right
>if it were presented in the right way
i found the view from the rockefeller a lot better
>>53178906
So... is that the American red light district?
>>53179008
Seattle, Washington. Pike Place Market is literally the coolest place in the whole city. Tons of awesome shops and awesome food. Great place to kill a few hours.
>>53177540
I like this,quiet Tokyo
>>53178572
The Japanese spectators actually helped the garbagemen clean up the stadium after each of their games in the last World Cup, it made the news here and everything.
>>53178948
Nah this one is cooler
>>53179114
Where is this?
>>53178860
i can also see the union members making strikes because children are taking their jobs
I hate stockholm for several reasons, but it is cozy as fuck tbqh
Not exactly big by international standards at approx. 2 million people, but the biggest one we've got, so...
>>53177540
i want to leave this shitty overrated emptyhole as soon as possible
>>53179084
i fucking hate it, m8. the whole thing in this decrepit city has become nothing more than boring.
Based SP tbqh f.am
>>53179046
Really cool
>>53179084
Tokyo outskirts are the best. Well connected to the city, but more reserved and quiet and yet still have everything you need.
>>53179252
That's pretty funny but also kind of sad at the same time.
>>53179440
Where do you want to go to?What do you want to do?
>>53179498
Nice pic but need green,like a forest lol
>>53179779

Miami
>>53178943
I getcha. Budapest still seems nice though, there's deals to go there for a weekend for really cheap.
>>53179779
Cool af
>>53179861
so nice
I can't post anything from buenos aire/new york because im at work for at least 2 more hours
and by the time i get home the thread would be dead
>>53179979
Then make a new thread like this one.

lol nice try
Here's some NYC pics I took
1/4
Here's Zagreb. I've been there a few times, it seems like an OK place. Expensive as fuck for no reason though
>>53180266
You know nothing, my friend
It's a very vibrant city actually, especially in summer
>tfw the commieblocks will never go
>>53180549
Do you have any pictures of a comfy Parisian rue?
>>53180608
>>53179908
don't get me wrong, Budapest is beautiful, even more so than Prague desu. it's this really gracious eclectic mix of a city with lot to offer whatever it is you're looking for. you should definitely make use of these weekend deals while you can, Croatbro, the amount of tourists has been growing larger and larger every year and I think it's not long when our streets will be as crowded as Prague's for example.
>>53180630
/int/eresting that the commie blocks are so close to the financial/downtown district.
>>53180625
RARE FLAG
>>53180658
Who like Renaissance houses ?
>>53180625
where are you exactly from? I've been to Dubrovnik this summer, only for a day, though. Seemed like a nice place, shame about the overcrowded streets, Kotor was a much more pleasant experience for me.
>>53180703
not really.
>>53180706
last one here, unless someone wants specific landmarks or something
>>53180770
I think they look really comfy. My one concern is insulation.
>>53180658
Are you a professional photographer? I really like how you had hard light in the foreground and soft light in the background.
>>53180646
>>53180771
I'm from the far east of Croatia. Not much going on here. A lot of people are at least part Hungarian (myself included).
Haven't been to Dubrovnik, but looking to one day. We're lucky to have such a good coast (although we're not really using it for much more than tourism). It's common for Croatian families to go to vacation in a small town there or something.
I like that quite a bit, but i'd stay away from bigger cities like Dubrovnik, maybe for a day trip.

I'll make sure to come before it peaks then. It's close by, after all.
>>53181177
It's often considered the world's most beautiful city. Every city has it's blemishes.
>>53181020

thanks lads
Semi-pro, I'm usually just a lighting slave on shoots
>>53181397
pls post images under 1MB, my third world satellite internet can't handle it. ;_;
>>53181397
How did you get up there? Great colors, btw. Saved.
My pic is Dublin. I take pictures aswell but perhaps more landscape oriented, because I visit real urban areas only so often.
>>53181397
Lighting is important. I love how you use the leading line of the bridge to introduce the viewer's eyes to the city-scape.
>>53181567
Great leading lines on the street. And I like the mixture of hard and soft light on the different sides of the street.

Here's the BMW HQ in Munich, it's in the shape of four cylinders in a car
>>53181760
Forgot pic
>>53181803
Interesting perspective. Shame it wasn't taken on a sunny day for better color contrast. If you converted this into a black and white image it may actually look less dreary.
>>53181567
Someone used a bolt cutter to snap the lock off this porthole to the access ladder inside the bridge, when me and my buddy went up we must've just missed the guys who did it, there were fresh bootprints and everything, kinda 2spooky
>>53181624

>>53182016
Thanks! I'm studying photography right now and one day hope to become a photojournalist/conflict photographer.
>>53182016
Wow, so a bit of urban exploring? I'd love to find a place in a big city like that, high up but with no people, you feel me?
>>53181948
It was sunny prior, this was at dusk i believe.
Here's a disposable from Dublin
>>53182192
Was this neighbor on a hill? The horizon line seems to appear rather abruptly. Also nice 50/50 horizontal line at the horizon. The big blue sky does help bring a humble feeling for the photo.
>>53182192
Urbex is really the only way to be alone in a giant city, and even then you aren't the only one there usually. Always carry a knife, don't wanna get AIDS from a homeless person attack (not a joke)
Red Hook Grain Elevator is the best, you feel like Solid Snake sneaking past the guards and the fact it's like half collapsed over the water feels so cool.
>>53182413
Not a clue, it might have been. But it could be the shitty lens because it was a disposable camera. You have a photo blog, anon?
>>53182604
Noted. If a chance occurs, I might just try it someday
>>53182930
You're actually in a good position being in the Baltic-Soviet-y area. Lot's of massive abandoned infrastructure stuff in Ukraine, large bridges, and generally the attitude is way more lax there about it. I got my apartment raided by the NYPD for bridge climbing, that wouldn't happen where you're at, they just dont gaf about it.
>>53180819
I live in one on the older houses and the walls are 1 meter wide, the houses with many windows are offices or some shit
>>53183110
>1 meter wide.
Are the built for sieges?
>>53182930
I don't have a blog. Tbh I don't really have the time to run one.
>>53183106
You got raided? Did you get slapped with a fine? Or just a warning?
>>53176655
>>53183400
I caught 8 different BASE jumping/trespass charges, but I had a good lawyer so it got pleaded down to a youth offense and I got like 5 days of community service. District Attorneys wanted me to get 30 days jail but the judge laughed at them,

Toronto or Seattle?
>>53183597
Seattle. See the Space Needle in the top right.
>>53183597
>Space Needle visible
Seattle!
>>53183564
>>53183412
I'm from Seattle and this is an awesome picture! I just made it my desktop background.
>>53183715
It's from the Colombia Tower Club at the very top floor, pretty nice place.
The burgers up there are amazing.
>>53183412
I had a date with some grill and we went on that wheel. Brings back memories desu. I also remember eating at some seafood place right by the wheel before that.
>>53183853
Seattle's skyline is pretty godtier.

Crab Pot is the restaurant I was looking for
Centrum of Hel(l)sinki
>>53184152
those women all look lonely, time to import some bulls
>>53184000
I've never even gone on the ferris wheel, iirc it's like 30 bucks or some shit, would rather do something in Fremont or on Cap Hill for that.
You probably went to crab pot on the pier.
>>53184069
It is.
Pic I took
Burien, Seattle
>>53183106
Went playing airsoft with friends in this building, how does that sound?
>>53176655
I'd do many things just to get a comfy appartment with a view like this one
>>53184193
can't you keep your /pol/ autism at least out of the only good thread on /int/ currently
>>53178572
It's just part of the country's culture I guess. I live in a student town where during nights people throw bottles and even chairs out of the windows, piss and chunk fucking everywhere, but during daytime everyone pay attention to where to throw your trash and even often pick up bigger chunks of garbage off the street.
>tfw I will never be as popular as I used to be in the US
>no Euro girl will ever suck my dick for the sole reason I speak French like the American ones would do

>>53179498
>filename
who are you trying to fool here
>>53184607
Lel, were you an exchange student here for a year or something?
>>53184618
I wasn't implying that I lived there or that I took the photograph, the original idea of the thread wasn't to post original pictures, just pictures we liked
>>53184645
Yes. 4 years ago. I was already on /int/ at that time posting under an American flag.
>>53184751
>4 years ago
Which High School were you getting hosted at?
I ran the int'l club at my school on MI, we invited like all the exchange students in the area to some overnight exchange/dance thing.
>>53184715
That's not what I'm saying. It's written Tokyo in the filename although it clearly depicts Hong Kong.
>>53184824
My bad, pham
>>53176902
They're very, very, very expensive.
>>53176902
>New York City apartments really high up i'd imagine could be very cozy to live in.
Most of them are really dated, extremely tiny, and cost a fortune (millions upon millions of USD).
NYC has a real problem with housing costs/rent.
>>53184878
Would buying one and renting it be good as an investment?
>>53178943
Years ago I got ripped off by 2 hookers in Budapest. I desrved it I was young and stupid. I also asked some dudes for directions to a bar called Alcatraz and they tried to pick pocket me. Other than that I really like Magyars.
>>53184947
>Would buying one and renting it be good as an investment?
Yes, but the odds of you buying one is extremely low, everyone is trying to do exactly that and no one is ever selling because they make a fucking racket through rent.
Not enough apartments buy way too many buyers drive up the price even more.
>>53184947
Absolutely. Real estate in New York is like gold.
>>53184808
What's MI?
I went to highline in Burien, kind of ghetto yet pretty cool.
Yeah I went to some shit with other exchange students. Tons of Chinese and other introverted Asians lel, I don't mean to offense you but most gatherings were shit.
I had a pretty good time over there, and spent most of my free time playing sports, smoking weed and banging chicks on Bainbridge Island where a lot of parties were hosted for some reason.
Question for any American anons here, I prefer asking it here in the daily /urban/ or /architecture/ generals over making up a new thread that will killed by memes after an hour
I really love New York culture, but I've never been to the city. How is it compared to for example sitcoms like Seinfeld? How are the people actually? I also unironically am very interested in NY Jewish culture and living in the city. Can someone clear me up on this?
>>53184878
People always wayyy overblow the expensiveness of living in NYC. An apartment in manhattan is roughly 2.5k-3.5k/month, which may seem very expensive at face value but wages and salaries in NYC are much higher than the national average.
And of course, believe it or not, there is a NYC that exists outside of Manhattan.
>>53185030
>I don't mean to offense you but most gatherings were shit.
Trust me we knew that, but on Mercer Island a lot of people got to host a kid for the weekend and we took them to the dance for like 20 minutes on Friday then we just partied the rest of the weekend, was pretty fun.
Lot's of foreign QTs.
MI is the island on the lake between Seattle and Bellevue
>>53185047
>An apartment in manhattan is roughly 2.5k-3.5k/month,
A STUDIO apartment is like 4k in Manhattan dude, where are you getting these numbers?
Why do you think everyone is moving to the boroughs?
My city has 6 million people and sometimes it feels so small. Like right now... my neighborhood alone has 160k people, it's all so quiet all I can hear are the birds singing.
>>53185047
Yeah idc what you say that is expensive. And people who aren't from NYC often have a tough going when they try to move there. Shitty walk-ups, piss smelling avenues, etc. To an outsider it's like a brick wall.
>>53184352
racist
>>53185178
Upper class hue hue detected.
>>53185108
Oh Mercer Island? Yeah that's a nice one dude. I went on a few bike rides there IIRC. Rich ass Island to be honest.
>>53185038
tbqh someone answer please
>>53185152
Holy shit I didn't know it was THAT bad
>>53185178
Looks so nice fambo
>>53185047
New York real estate is more expensive than Sydney's... Why would anyone want to live there when they could live in another nice city that isn't overcrowded af?
>>53178572
>i have the feeling japanese are very clean, i never get to see trash in these pictures of Tokyo
There was trash everywhere in the streets when I was there. Vomit on the sidewalk. Filthy homeless people everywhere.
Don't believe these pictures.
>>53185328
Cant really help you as I only visited NYC for a week but it's pretty much how one would expect. Lots of stuff to visit and to do. Though I never lived there so I can't really tell either the sitcom kind of lifestyle is a meme or is real.
>>53185386
You were in the korean quarter
>>53185152
According to apartments.com there are 5,000 apartments available for under 3.5k
>>53185386
you probably visited a poverty tier town
>>53185038
Depends on the neighborhood, New York is ridiculously diverse.
>>53185475
Dogshit studio apartments on the south side maybe, or those "micro-apartments".
Manhattan proper is fucking EXPENSIVE
>>53185381
Well Sydney is a irrelevant boring city with nothing to do, shit public transit, and even shittier weather. Real estate is cheaper and the population is less dense for a reason fag, it means people would rather live in NYC than Sydney.
>>53185448
>>53185526
No, I'm talking about the popular central parts of Tokyo. When you get out into the perpiphery, it was another deal. Akihabara and Shinjuku had lots of homeless people sitting in the streets. When you take the last train home at night, the walls in the stations are lined with cardboard boxes or just bed spreadings that the homeless use. You could see shanty towns under bridges and so on. It's really bizarre.
>>53185569
What parts of Sydney did you visit?
>>53185565
according to the website there are plenty in midtown and lower manhattan.
>>53185436
I'm honestly curious about it because when I visited Miami with some university friends last year it wasn't at all like even recent TV programmes and the hivemind tends to say. As with my college group we're planning on going to NYC this summer I'd like to know in advance if my love for that city will get bursted or not.
>>53185554
Well, I'm probably talking about Manhattan in general and the adjacent parts of Brooklyn and Queens I guess.
>>53185643
I think it's nice that the police let them sleep at the train station at night :) must suck being homeless during the winter if you can't sleep under some sort of shelter.
>>53185694
Those are just the rent man, you realize you pay hundreds in this like utilities and car parking? That is 3k+ USD for a fucking STUDIO apartment and you're acting like that is normal
No idea why you're trying to argue it when it's a well documented phenomenon in Manhattan
>>53185290
That's Tijuca in Rio, it's not an upper class neighborhood at all. I thought it was a fucking backwater in fact, but the picture is very comfy.
>>53185694
Why are you trying to convince people that NYC isn't an expensive place to live? Everything there costs like 4 times as much as anywhere else in Yank Land.
>>53185868
>Why are you trying to convince people that NYC isn't an expensive place to live?
Idk its mind boggling, I think he is just arguing to argue/doesn't want to admit hes wrong when hes post 3k USD studio apartments lmao
>>53185696
It exists. I don't know where they are or how to find them (Italian New Yorker here, people think I'm Jewish though), but they exist, trust me.
>>53185643
it's mostly because of the lack of services for homeless people compared to western countries. There are many living along Tamagawa
I pee in butts.
>>53185765
First of all who the fuck needs a car in NYC? Average utilities are about $128/month which is not very expensive at all.
>B-b-but it's a studio apartment!!
Who fucking cares? This is NYC not a Houston suburb tard, people aren't moving to NYC to raise kids, they're there to have fun and enjoy life in a big city.
>http://www.bls.gov/regions/new-york-new-jersey/news-release/countyemploymentandwages_newyorkcity.htm
The average salary in NYC according to this is 2,847 a week which is around 140k/year. $3k/month is nothing for people who make that much. The average salary in my field (nursing) is around 65k/year for the U.S., and almost 90k/year in NYC.
>>53185290
Just Rio's middle class.
>>53185338
I really like it here
>>53185863
The income here is as high as in the south zone of Rio, faggot.
>>53177540
Ultra modern? The whole town is stuck in the 90's m8.
>>53185924
Thanks. There's something about stereotypical NY life that is just comfy for me. I'm probably brainwashed as fuck by sitcoms though.
Florianópolis. I loved this waterfront, it's really comfy to spend time in, also qt Brazilian blondes jogging.
>>53186328
Nah, NYC is MUCH more accurately portrayed than most big cities (i.e. london, la, etc)
>>53186143
>paying 3k+ USD to live in a 400sqft box in a 50 year old building
Fuck off idiot, no one in their right mind thinks thats acceptable

Moscow
>>53186328
Most NY sitcoms are normally in the other boroughs like Brooklyn and Queens.
Of course if you get everything from T.V. and the movies it won't be what you expected. Those sitcoms were filmed in the 90's and the city has changed quite a lot since then.
>>53186519
Maybe not in your sunbelt hellhole. I guess people from places like that are simply too fat to live in NYC. Stay in Texas then I guess, I', sure no one will care because NYC certainly has no shortage of people wanting to live there.
>>53186519
Some people do. I'm not the other Belgian NYC boo but I'd love to live in downtown NYC. Even if it means I don't own a car or don't have a backyard. Some people were just meant to live the city life.
>>53186694
>Maybe not in your sunbelt hellhole
Nigger I live in Seattle, another insanely expensive city, I know what I'm talking about.
Keep paying out the ASS for a shithole studio apartment in NYC though retard, lmao.
Stockholm is pretty cozy. Take the rooftop tour if you're there sometime.
>>53186723
NYC is cool to visit, but I'd never in a million years want to live in the city proper, but that is just me.
The outter boroughs would be neat though.
>>53186786
And I will continue making DOUBLE what you do retard.
>waaahhhhh I'm to poor to live in a exciting relevant city so it must be a shithole!!
Enjoy your suburban architecture and boring gentrifyed neighborhoods.
>>53186498
That's good to hear, thanks.
>>53186620
Wasn't Seinfeld set in the Upper West Side or something? I feel like many sitcoms are set either there or in Midtown. Also of course I don't take everything from TV and movies, I'm more trying to show what I'm looking for when I say comfy NY living culture.
>Those sitcoms were filmed in the 90's and the city has changed quite a lot since then.
Tbqh I feel like the only thing that has really changed is the extremely high number of hispanics and asians in the city.
>>53186723
>NYC boo
B-but Jean-Claude, that's mean
>>53186907
No way you genuinely think people in NYC make double than people in Seattle.
Theres another thing called inflation as well, I know you're like 16 and don't even actually live in NYC or know anything about housing costs but come on man, this is just embarrassing.
>>53186846
Noted, it looks cool af, Sthlm is def on my bucket list
>>53186686
Imagine taking a shit with a view like that
>>53186879
This is how i sometimes feel about big cities.
It's kind of like having a boat. You don't wanna own the boat. If you have a friend who owns a boat you can just show up with a 6pack and just hang out on the boat. But owning the boat is costly and very time consuming. (metaphore by Bill Burr, originally)

Thank you senpai. Not really, only the maintenance guys are allowed up there. Not that it matters, I live two floors down from the top floor. I also have a balcony on the other side but the view is meh. Pic related
>>53188435
I remember seeing threads on /p/ of a set of these a while ago, all by the same person i presume. Really good photographs.
