I'm a plane nerd so I hired a car & drove out to Dulles to see the Udvar-Hazy Aerospace Museum, it was fucking insane, so much cool shit inside including the actual Enola Gay, an SR71, and a fucking space shuttle.

It took about 45min to get there but totally worth it. On the way back I stopped in Alexandria to see the George Washington National Masonic National Memorial. Quite interesting & the tower offers great views across DC and southern VA, it can also be access by the DC transit system.

Consider going around the monuments and memorials at night. Cooler, less crowded, and they are pretty spectacular when lit up.

>>1246024

Because by the time they were done we'd be at our location. That and most twats wouldn't listen to them anyway.

>>1246026
People do listen to that and it's just three sentences.

>>1246024
because airlines don't operate on basic human decency, they operate to make money and that involves cramming people into the smallest possible seat they think they can get away with

the other thing to remember is a lot of what you're seeing on flights is a reflection of the society that person belongs to

I really enjoyed Crete.. Also Calabria Italy..

>>1245774

I don't know, M8. Am English, so never had to apply for an entry visa, for obvious reasons. If there's an Indian /trv/ somewhere or similar, I'd ask there as well.

Have a bump tho, in case anyone here can help. I like seeing tourists where I live, and usually tell them about the area and where to visit.

fuck off we're full

no offence lad

>>1245605
The pyramids aren't going anywhere. Wait until it is more safe if you arent very experienced.

>>1245605
>the Pyramids
>MAYBE the Nile

Are you planning to land in Libya and go East until you reach the Pyramids and then stop 1km away from the river?

>Have any of you gone recently? Is it worth it to go? Did you feel safe while you were there?
I was there October. It's not safe and twice as not for inexperienced travelers.
What are your age/sex/etc.

>>1245605
its quite safe. my parents go there ever year usually for diving in the south. they skipped the revolution year but came back the following year and took pictures on the Tahrir Square.
BUT they are highly experienced and not idiots.

It could be problematic when you have no idea what you are doing and you also lack experience.

also if you are a femanon: there are a few more unpleasantness in the northen african countries that you have to deal with. But it is doable.

Pyramids are a must see. But there are far more enjoyable temples down the nile. The big tourism just makes it quite hectic and you always has to be aware of scams with everything regarding the pyramids (drivers, guides, etc.).

Squaw Valley in Cali apparently

Vancouver here we go!

I got you back OP watch this.

Kyoto is shit.

Going back to Japan in January, any ideas on where I can find a Tebori tattoo artist in Tokyo and relative pricing?

>>1240392
Denver

>>1240394
>>1240395
I don't live in America. I'm from Europe.

Would it actually be worth travelling to one of the legal states compared to Amsterdam?

>>1239406
An Idiot Abroad is basically just a sitcom with Karl Pilkington playing a character; the show puts him in situations that will be amusing.

The Rick Steves guides to Europe are available free on YouTube and they're comfy viewing but they're aimed at a middle class, middle aged American audience.

as far as travel shows, I like Bourdain,

Destinations was ok, the two guys got annoying.

I find Pilkington hilarious, but Gervais is an ass.

Usually i watch the Bourdain episode after I return from my trip.. to see if there was any comparable opinions.. I don't base my destinations on travel sitcoms though.

>>1239606
>>1239406
Anthony Bourdain's Parts Unknown inspired my wife to go to Chiang Mai. And she specifically wanted to see the Ladyboy Cabaret featured on the episode

virtually any hostel

>>1246142
huh, didn't know it'd be that straightforward. cheers

Go to Amsterdam if you want to meet people

>>1245824

>in america

argentina is in america

>>1245890
Not OP, but Argentina is in South America, not America

>>1245824
May is the best month.

You can already go to North Korea. I spend like 5,000 bucks going there a couple of years ago. Worth it desu, its so fucking weird.

>>1245792
Yeah, but isn't it a really restricted tour where you can't really do anything?

>>1245795
But everything of interest is on the tour. The rest of the country is dirt poor.

The only thing that would change with a massive regime change would maybe be tours of what would become the former torture prisons and labor camps and the residency.

Travel like an Asian. 3 cheap rolling suitcases.

>>1245527
you don't, that's why backpackers are universally hated outside of backpacking communities, because they look and smell like shit and carry enormous packs that get in the way of everyone

I don't get it.

I used a very casual-looking backpack (ie. something designed for school or work, not hiking or camping). A backpack like that blends in with the city quite well, and doesn't get in the way. Come to think of it, it was a pretty small backpack, and I estimate that its maximum capacity wasn't even 20 litres.

I do at least understand >>1245530's point of locals disliking dirty unwashed tourist hippies and their giant backpacks with everything in it. Fortunately I showered everyday, changed clothes everyday, and carried a <20L backpack.

I packed very lightly. I only brought 3 days' worth of clothes, and took them to a laundromat when I ran out of clean clothes to wear.

I didn't pack any toiletries because 1. liquid restrictions on flights are annoying, and 2. I'm not a woman. I used the toiletries provided by my hotel, and purchased a small/cheap tube of toothpaste. Toothbrushes were provided free of charge in two of the hotels I stayed in.

Clothes & toiletries are really the only thing you need for a trip (besides money & passports). My backpack was a far cry from full when I started the trip. I filled the abundant space with non-essential frivolities such as a camera, USB chargers, and a first-aid kit, and I still had way too much room in my backpack.

What the feck were you guys packing?

I just came back from HK three weeks ago.

Stay in Kowloon. All the sites and interesting stuff is on that side. I made the mistake of staying on the Island and there was very little to see on the Island side. Ended up wasting so much time taking the rails to Kowloon because all the temples and interesting sites were on that side.

Everyone told me it was a meme, but definitely visit The Peak at least once, and if you do, in the evening where the sight of the HK lights is wonderful.

>>1245488
+1 thanks anon

the peak is on the HK side right?

>>1245516
Yep, it's on HK Island.

I suggest you do the Lugard Road walk, here's a tutorial on how to get there from The Peak Tower: http://blog.bigfoottour.com/victoria-peak-hong-kong/
It is a lot less busier than The Peak Tower lookout. If you do it on an afternoon or early evening, there will be a lot of photographers at the lookout, but as >>1245488 suggests, the city lights look fantastic at night.

I'm a photographer so I spent some time at the lookout photographing the sunset, I then walked back to The Peak Tower and checked out the view and had an overpriced (albeit tasty) dinner.
