Thailand dude, with or without hookers (though they improve the experience). Just google what you are looking for and tack thailand at the end of it.

Yea its pretty queer. He should just stop being a bitch and take a nice trip to Nana plaza and then to the beach where he can relax and think about his life.

1 year in Incheon, South Korea - Great money, I saved about £5000k in a year without trying. Great year but wouldn't have wanted to stay longer.

2 years in Taipei, Taiwan - My favorite place, it really felt like home. It's a bit off the map and the girls are wild for foreigners. The money was good but not as good, and I saved enough for one or two trips abroad per year.

3 months (1 summer) in Beijing, China - Great money and a free apartment in Beijing. Was a good summer. China is a bit hardcore as a first destination in Asia. There is a huge difference in China between the high paying jobs and the low paying (I had one of the high paying gigs).

That was a 60 second lowdown. Any more info ask away.

>>1287980
Thanks for the lowdown!
How well is your english? Are you a native speaker? Did you go through education before? At what level did you teach?
How come China is hardcore as a first destination?

>How well is your english? Are you a native speaker? Did you go through education before? At what level did you teach?

I'm a British native speaker with a degree. I taught all levels from kids to adults.

>How come China is hardcore as a first destination?

It's hard to say why, but it just is. It caught me off-guard. Probably the fact that they really don't speak much English over there, you need to know basic Chinese to survive really, even to order food from McDonald's. And you need a VPN for everything, even Gmail or Google Maps. It's much less Westernized than Korea or Taiwan. China has more of a third world / cut-off country feeling (but they have an elite class of very rich people...)

I did it in 2 hours in BKK. Turned 5 minutes before morning closing, paid for same day, came back at afternoon closing, collected visa. There are nearby photographers who can do the right photos but I usually have a collection of different backgrounds and sizes.

Where do you go in Bangkok to get the visa? Heading there next month, I hope.

Not bad. Try to stop in Salzburg and Innsbruck. Both very charming.

>>1293379
Skip Bratislava, consider Regensburg and Nürnberg.

Just the very notion of 1 central European city makes me gag. Don't get me wrong, they are beautiful, essence of European achievement and empire, but all too familiar. To me.

Around the time they die. I'm 40 and still occasionally stay in hostels. And I don't feel old in them.

>>1292747
It's to do with attitude, not age. If you want privacy and comfort and get cranky if you have to rough it a bit, you're too old for a hostel. If you have a good attitude and you like being around new folk, and you can handle more basic accommodation, you won't have a problem.

30 is about the cutoff. Feels really cringey when old geezers are in the room.

If you're in California have an In n Out burger, the menu is amazing if you know how to order.
Get a 4x4 or a 3x3
Animal style everything even the fries.
Ask for a hat.
You're already spending time in good areas, enjoy them. and DONT GO TO HOLLYWOOD.
It's all a fucking tourist trap.
Enjoy SB, it's definitely one of my favorite places. Also try to hit up San Diego, there's some nice stuff to do there.

>>1291748
Just got back from Yosemite, it's gorgeous right now. Have fun.

Panera, Dunkin are shit though. Look for cheap, tiny, well-rated taquerias / bakers for the good shit. Food trucks too.

>>1291759
>4x4, 3x3, animal style
Looked at the menu, these seem pretty large portions for a single meal - is it manageable? I don't see myself eating out much as it's expensive, so if I had to pick one which would you recommend?
>Ask for a hat
Is this a freebie?

I'm visiting Universal Studios in LA, but other than that I'll take note of avoiding Hollywood. Any scams or tricks I should watch out for while I'm there?

How lenient are bartenders with serving foreigners? I'm 18, 6'6" and I'm aware that the drinking age is 21, but I don't know if I'll pass. Do bartenders tend to be more friendly to foreigners, less friendly or about the same? I'm white and I have a "posh" English accent so I don't know if that's a contributing factor.

I hate taking photos in general, and am not a selfie person at all.

>>1291373
I take a lot of photos as I'm a /p/fag but usually only take 1 selfie and ask people not to take photos of me.

I usually just ask someone to take a picture of me with my camera. Selfies usually turn out terrible in all of my experiences

Please just stay in your basement if you are going to be this idiotic.

Lol

Of course not op

Are you two serious

Cheapest booze and women you'll ever find, good surfing beaches, tons of party spots

Just don't try drugs unless you want to die in an Indonesian prison

No myanmar stories? Bumping

I really want to go there for my next trip but for some reason tickets to Yangon are almost double what tickets are to New Delhi or HCMC (my next top 2 choices).

Is Burma worth going to given the extra cost? I know traveling around the country is kinda a clusterufuck.

Myanmar girls are the prettiest I've ever seen. The only negatives is that it is a 3rd world country and they always wear sandals so their feet are usually dirty and not taken care of (I have a foot fetish).

I've been to Yangon, Mandalay and Bagan.

Literally any club you go to will have freelancers. They're usually by themselves.

Eat Mohingo, easily my favorite dish there

Laid in your own country? Goats don't count Ahmed.

Clearly he's a Jew.

Yes, I was in Ukraine last week. Yes, I met Ukrainian women. Any more questions?

The idea of marrying a pure Slav maiden who wants nothing more in life than raising the spawn of 4chan NEETs and cooking blinis is just a very silly meme. That's just not what these societies are like. If you have money, you'll be attractive.

Please, do tell us why you dislike London so much.

>>1288012
Not OP, but it's more crowded than Hong Kong even in the lowest tourist season.

I live just outside London, been countless times, as well as well travelled especially around Europe. I second OP, it is AMAZINGLY shit for a European or any city desu...
