Finnair is like a nice version of Aeroflot. When they are not on strike. I haven't really used Aeroflot ever but still I think I know what I'm talking about.

i meant to write ryanair i accidently slipped on the keyboard

Well, since you asked.

They have let too many Chinese crooks in.

No more cheap investment visas. Tax the shit out of the foreigners owning property there (especially if owning more than one home), let this put the rest off their "investments". This will reduce demand and burst the property bubble, so we can laugh at their losses and the various China-centric businesses that go bankrupt and then every day real Canadians can afford the place again.

An interesting politics-based answer, probably would discuss it if this were a politics board.

Bu it's pretty off-topic for a travel board.

If you want to see Asians go to Asia

Hongcouver is a boring city

Yeah, that's what I usually do.

Normally I'll take a taxi or public transit to my hostel, depending on whether I've just started my trip or am carrying on overland. In Latin America, I always ask what parts of the city and neighborhood I should avoid.

Had a great time walking around Bogota back in 2015. I followed Carrera Septima for an age before turning back and chilling in a park.

Traveled tons since then and am leaving to Ecuador on Monday. Probably going to spend most of Tuesday being lazy, adjusting to the altitude, and exploring Mariscal while trying not to get robbed.

>>1245566
one of my favourite movies, but why is it posted here?

>>1245566
That's what I do as well. Sometimes I will seek out a specific street or neighborhood or transit stop and explore from there, but I always do a few expanding concentric circles from wherever I am staying. OK, I guess it's more of a spiral. But it's what I do.

I also nearly deliberately forget a few minor toiletries, because I like to go to local convenience stores. Finding those stores is typically a big part of my wandering near my lodging.

Go to Dubai. Decent beaches, decent night life, and stay someplace like the Raffles. Spend a night in the desert at the nature preserve with oryxes and shit. Let your wife splurge on some shopping.

Great country for doing extravagant shit.

Not a big fan of Muslim countries.

How good are you at dialects?
You should probably watch some shows which are in bavarian german since even native Germans at times have problems understanding bavarians.

It surely is a good idea to do now, since Germany probably won't exist anymore in 20 years. So if you are interested in the german culture you should do it rather now than later.

kek you've never been there have you.

OP with $9 per hour you will not have a lot fun, it's pretty expensive.

Not in that city, but I've been in bavaria a lot.

Would you go to a high school event in your home country when you knew none of the students or their family?

>>1245377
Now that I think about it this is actually a terrible idea.

Ahahahaha why the fuck would anyone want to come here out of choice. This city is a frozen shithole for 7-8 months of the year. Unless you're a masochist avoid this shithole.

I took this picture a month ago. If you're from a snowless country you may think " cool! Looks nice! " and yeah snow is pretty. But the unending cold and darkness take a toll and past the novelty of the first few weeks it begins to drain your will to live. I'm either going to relapse soon and be stoned 24/7 again to escape, leave the city forever or kill myself soon. Fuck this place.

>>1245438
Trust me, I live in Nola, and I would kill for atleast a month of cold, we got below freezing 3 times in the last year, 3 fucking times, it was 80° in January, your situation is no worse than ours, just opposite

>>1245503
I don't think you understand cold when they say freezing.

In Serbia you sit in front

Yes, it's normal in E Europe to sit in front if you're alone.

I'd go as far as saying it's weird if you're alone and sit in the back.

>Do I need some special papers to get on a boat/is it actually possible to simply get hired on one?
Jumping in before people start attacking... there's no such thing as bumbling your way onto a freighter. You need licenses, qualifications, and on many routes, union membership. It is not the high seas of the 1850s. Freight companies are highly regulated and highly insured, and the people who work for them (lots of underpaid Filipinos, among others) know what they're doing.

This is kind of a meme here.

>>1245183
You might want to think this over better, try looking up and contacting people who have already done this and see what they did

>>1245183
Drop the scooter, hitchiking works if you look the part, you need papers to get on a boat this isn't a 19th century adventure book.

Good luck.

Don't go unless you speak spanish well or you want to settle in for a month and learn.

Also the girls aren't as easy as you've been told unless you speak spanish really well.

>>1245230
What do you mean by "well", like, can pass for a native speaker?

If I can speak well enough to communicate basically anything other than arcane business jargon and electrical engineering terms, even if I make frequent grammatical errors, is that good enough?

>>1245251
Yeah that's fine. You'll have a good time then.

play games

And to top it off i have a small child behind me poking me arm and kicking my chair

>>1245092
Wat games? I dont have any vidya on me

hey italian here.
i live in rome but i traveled for a good part of italy.
genoa is a nice city on the sea, i've been there twice. most people think it's just the aquarium but there are a lot of important places and attractions. i remember my favourite was the lighthouse.
in my opinion you did good by choosing genova since it's much less of a tourist trap than venice or rome.
if you need help with something else just ask!

i'm >>1245615
hey OP, just noticed you said you are going to study abroad all next year in genoa. in that case you are going to need some other informations. i suggest you look up the exchange between your currency and euros.
regarding moving in the city, the city is not that big and is well "connected" there is a subway line with 7 stations and 138 bus lines and also some elevators in the panoramic zones of the city. Look up http://www.visitgenoa.it/en/public-transports

what else do you need? i assume you are doing dealing with a students exchange program so you already have a place to stay there right?

Genova is a based city. Its historical centre is huge (but because there's loads of alleyways, it often stinks of piss). I'm going there again this summer.
Plus, it has everything you might need in the vicinty: hills/mountains, the sea, the Cinque Terre (go in spring, NOT in summer).

Any questions?

An Asian MP from Toronto who doesn't rip you off?
Forums with opinions about Asian MPs from Toronto who don't rip you off?
I am so confused

specifying asian, op probably meant massage parlour

Were you homeschooled or something?
Have you never been to a gym or public pool?

Either do exactly what you said - walk out of your room with nothing but a towel (just remember to bring clothes to change into). Or walk in with your jammies on, or whatever you're currently wearing, and strip down once you're in the bathroom (just remember to bring a change of clothes).

I'm sorry that you had to learn a normal social behaviour on 4chan.

>>1244863
f-fuck off...

>how do i take a shower?
you should be on /r9k, m8

It's the best if you're a socially inept nerd, you'll get more out of it by being forced to interact with people

>>1244790
assuming you're not a total shut in; there will be a point where you'll be so starved for communication that you'll start talking to people and realize being social isn't a big deal. This is especially true on vacation.

its the best way OP
