That's a pretty subjective question. It's up to you. Some museums deserve more time than others. I blew through the Lourve in about 5 hours. I know that is not enough time but in all honesty I just don't care about it all that much, but I couldn't not go.

It depends on how important the art is to you and how much time you want to dedicate to staring at it, which is all you'll be doing.

>>1240908
For the two museums you mentioned, I'd say most people would stay around 3 hours each, but you could spend weeks at museums this large. I personally spent a whole day at the Rijksmuseum earlier this year.
There is such thing as museum fatigue which can be caused by just becoming disinterested, emotionally and physically (theres a lot walking in big museums) overwhelmed, and just visiting too many museums in a short period of time. I find a lot of people spend most their time seeing the first part of a museum and then rushing through the rest so they can leave quicker. So watch out for that.
I suggest you look at the different audio tours you can do at the museums you want to visit. Most of them have a highlights tour which would be good if you only wanted to stay for a few hours.

For anons who have nice places to hike at home, did you find it worth it hike in Japan? Just looking at the different mountains in central Japan and especially the kurobe Alpine route, it seems like hiking there would be amazing. But at the want time, with limited time and budget I feel like I should spend more time in the cities and doing other things. What are your thoughts?

I went hiking several times in Japan and they've all been great. If you find yourself in Kobe, definitely hike Mt. Rokko. Pic related.

You should probably stay in whatever city the job you get is in.

>>1240110
> cities to stay
Moscow or Saint Petersburg. Any other city if you want to live on 100-500$/month in a postcommie shithole full of retarded foreigner-hating vatniks.

Well, you should get the job first. Russia isn't SEA; you won't just fall into a job teaching English.

That being said, Moscow or Saint Petersburg are your most realistic bets, though if you land a job in the former you'll be dealing with Moscow prices. I don't think you'd want to live on $400/month in some Siberian shithole.

1. What are repositioning cruises?
2. What kind of ship did you travel on?
3. Where did you end up after 11 days?

>>1239668
Not OP, but repositioning cruises are when companies move their ships to a different port at the start or end of the season. They sell discounted one-way tickets do they don't lose money on the fuel costs.

>>1239668

yep, like the guy above me said.

about the ship, i remember it was around 270 meters, had like a 2000+ passenger capacity but i think there were only around 800 passengers during our crossing.

its like any typical cruise, with the massive pools, the jacuzzis, the gym, the clubs. there was even a paddle tennis cage, a ping pong table, and a climbing wall. first cruise of my life so i was properly impressed. i also had my own cabin and the drinks and food were unlimited. my days were spent gorging on food, going to the gym, and hanging out with this dude who taught capoeira lol. there was so much free time and obviously no interrnet, so a lot of random people taught random stuff during lulls in the the ship's "program". also, some french dudes brought a fuckton of acid on board and shared it with a lot of peeps. that was a crazy night. almost every night was, really.

we ended up in salvador de bahia after 9 days but i got off further south at santos, 2 days after.

What did you construct this on? And what is your expected trip time?

Thinking of following a similar route but starting in Prague and stopping in Rome

>>1239414
Look up "rome2rio" it's an itinerary planner that gives you approximate costs for transport between cities and all the options/routes.

Have you been to Prague?

>>1239552
also, 35 days

don't bother with such places. they do not exists as legit businesses. they are covers for tar budget laundering and laying low for shit martini stirrers. even if you get a job and you get out alive for the time being you will be taken advantage off

What is a way you would suggest I can get across the atlantic for cheap then? I wouldn't mind working to pay for my ride across and I am tall and strong.

>>1240343
Save up a couple hundred bucks and buy a plane ticket. Fly out of Boston, it's cheapest.

>>1238642
The most fun thing to do in Berlin is to take a train out of Berlin to a non shitty German city

Seriously you are scraping the bottom of the barrel with this, why not just go to Cologne if you want to have a shitty experience

Hell Prague isn't even that far away and it's 100x better than Berlin, even has little to no muslims

Check the catalog, doesn't need a separate thread just for your post

Melbourne is in Australia? Huh well there you go.

I thought it was in NZ

>>1237529
It's always been good to me when I've gone there for PAX from Sydney with dozens of people I know from various communities.

It's a nice city, but it's just like any other Aussie city, just with a good vibe. The free CBD tram gimmick is really nice too for when I am lazy.

>>1237540
>it's just like any other Aussie city
This. Unless you live in bumfuck woop-woop it's going to be a bigger version of wherever it is you live now. There's more options for high and low culture though, especially in the city centre and inner suburbs. There's a really big concentration of international students in the CBD too, so lots of Asian restaurants and shops.

>>1237509
Recommendations? Getting shot by niggers for one and a cheap burial afterwards.

How are you planning on getting around?

Airfare is expensive as fuck in the US and our trains are bad, slow and expensive. As for cities to go to it depends on what you are into. I personally hate traveling to cities in my home country unless it's to NYC, Philly, New Orleans, Vegas, SF or Chicago. I'm not even that big into /out/ shit but I much prefer to go to national parks in here than the cities.

I feel like once you've seen one American city you've seen 99% of them(besides the ones I named)

Been to the US a couple of times. So from the top of my head:
-They give you more food than which you're normally used to unless you're a fatty
-American TV is horrible and repeat the same promos every 5 mins
-You'll be encouraged to eat junk food; try to keep a balanced diet
-San Francisco is full of hobos and hippies
-Atlanta is a shithole where you get shot
-New York isn't all that great as they make it out to be (granted I was only there for 3 days)
-There is plenty of crazy in the US. Avoid interaction with said crazy.
-Sunscreen. Especially during the summer months.
-Get the designated city transport card/ticket for the duration of your stay.
-You will waste money on things you'll never use. Budget accordingly.
-Look at places outside of the main city to explore.
-Avoid tourist traps.
-Getting your laundry washed is expensive compared to doing it yourself.
-American hygiene isn't that great. Carry sanitizer.
-Be polite and compliant with authority no matter what.
-Walk as much as you can and dont forget to take it all in.

i bet you are french

i hate it when people always talk in their native languages, its really antisocial behaviour and makes it harder for other people to engage in conversation with you/you to get to know other people

>>1234852
>talking in the language you know, because you don't know english
>antisocial

>>1234852
I am not. Why should I talk to some tourist agency worker or hostel worker in English when I can communicate in his language perfectly fine?

Degenerate

Keep your wallet at home when you go out, just take loose cash and your keys. Do this and you can eat drink and party well for $100 per day per person, disposable cash budget. If you're good with money, $70 should be more than enough.

Prices are similar to really po-dunk Midwestern US towns (or UK council estates), think $3-4 for a beer, $5 for a plate of food, a buck for a coke bottle etc. It's not true that you can live like a king for $20/day anymore but nothing is overly expensive.

>>1233244
I was in Bangkok last year and spent about $1,800 not including airfare for a 2 week trip.
Cheap hotels (~$20/night) and ate mostly street food, 7-11 food, or at inexpensive restaurants. The biggest expense was alcohol and girls.

>>1233244
How much drugs and how many whore are you going to go through ? You can get a working girl for as little as 1000 baht. I wouldn't touch any synthetic drugs over there, it's all mostly speed they cut with other shit to sell as coke etc. Weed is like 300baht a joint, shrooms are maybe 800 baht for 1/4 ounce

Lower chance of being raped and thrown into human trafficking than pretty well any Western country.

I recently spent a couple of months in China, but honestly these Youtubes will explain anything better than I ever will:

I am also a woman and I did this when I was twenty, but it was only in Beijing that I was by myself for about ten days. It's really safe, but have in mind that the subway closes pretty early on weekdays. Had to walk by myself for two hours, but it was no problem at all. I felt very safe. You might get stared by a bit, especially if you're western and blonde. I think the people in Beijing and Shanghai are more used to foreigners but if you go there during the summer there will be a lot of tourists from other parts of China. They're just curious but don't be surprised if some people asks to take a photo with you, many more could join in.

i'm a woman as well and it's safe, asians can't rape because of their tiny ding dongs

mykonos

I was in Thessaloniki and ioannina last year for a couple of nights, where are you visiting?

>>1241387
I've been to Alexandroupoli, Xanthi, Kavala, Thasos and some other small villages in the region. For eating I'd recommend to look where the locals go. It might look worse than other taverns but it's gonna be tastier and probably cheaper.
