Krakow is a really nice city, have fun! Eat Pirogi, dring beer, visit the old jewish part of the city.

And stop being afraid of everything. Poland is not Russia in 1991.

I stayed in hotel wentzel. Perfect location. One of my favorite European cities.

Bars, public transport, the touristy spots

>meet other travelers
Why would you want to? I'd be trying to get away from them. Not out of some Real Travelling™ schtick, it's just that 95% of them are assholes. Much like the "real" world.

>public transport
I think I missed out on a good opportunity on my last big trip.

I was in Portugal in August and while I was on the train from Lisbon to Sintra, these two girls were sitting near me and glanced over at me here and there like they wanted to make small talk. They were speaking some romance language which sounded like Spanish but not quite (possibly Catalan). Would dropping a casual "excuse me, what language are you speaking?" have been a good conversation starter?

>street food
my buddy who backpacked in SEA got a pretty bad food poisoning and got a little busy shitting brown water and wanting to die 24/7 to enjoy hanoi. i've never even been there so it's possible he was retarded and bought from a shady seller but beware

I've been to vietnam but not Hanoi. I've heard, however, that it has no nightlife because of it being the head of govt. at least in comparison to HCMC.

Sapa is nearby tho so that's cool. Tbh senpai the most fun I had in 'nam was in Mui Ne, which I highly recommend obviously.

>>1236890
I once had an iced coffee from a street vendor in HCMC and thought this was going to happen, but I guess I dodged a bullet there.
>>1236922
Thanks I'll check those out. Not hugely into nightlife, quiet bars are more my speed. I might also pop out to Ha Long.

Yes, you can definitely do better.
>2
I think that might be pointless because it's just like going to Seattle as a Frasier fan and finding out it was filmed on a studio in Los Angeles...and it's not an interesting city on its own, either.

I wouldn't bother getting a car in NYC at all. In all honesty, you don't really need a car for any of the cities you'll be visiting besides smaller places such as Scranton if you end up going there.

The Northeast is very well connected by trains and buses.

The best spots would be Washington DC, New York City, Boston, and Philadelphia.
Although I don't personally care much for Philadelphia desu.

Overall I would say your driving route could be improved but I'm not sure if you have been to the USA before.

If you have never been here before, I would definitely recommend these cities:
>Boston, MA
>Portland, ME (day trip from Boston)
I would also reconsider Baltimore, but it really depends on what you enjoy. Overall it's a shitty, ghetto city, but it has some good history.

Also consider national parks as you plan your journey.
You might like Shenandoah National Park in Virginia.

Thanks for the reply!

OK, I'm happy to start at Hartford then
>2
Yeah its filmed elsewhere and Scranton was chosen as the setting because of its overall 'nothingness'. Still, I figure it gives me a good mix of small-town USA and big cities.

I enjoy the freedom of having a car. A 14 day rental from Hartford is $380. Exactly twice that in NYC. I've found parking for 3 nights is about $60 just outside Manhattan which must be less than a train. My only concern is with the actual drive into the city. Then again, I found Atlanta to be fine to drive through but heard terrible things.
>4
At this rate it looks like I'd be in NYC for July 4th.

Portland and Boston are on my list but not sure if I can fit them into the one trip without it all being too rushed. I'll look into it!

I'd probably just spend 1 night in Baltimore, then. It's somewhere semi-famous between DC and Philly.

I did a big trip around the South East last year, pic related

>>1236526
Flying into Hartford is quite civilized. It's a suburban commuter kind of airport with a small terminal is highly inexpensive parking too. There are trains from New Haven into Grand Central all day everyday ~2hrs, so you might leave your car in CT downtown somewhere.

I can't even recall episodes of The Office where Scranton was featured. I can recall the outside of the office building, that's about it. I think the point of the show is that it could be anywhere kind of no name like that. There's some cuteness in New Hope PA, on your way into NJ.

There's some great coastal driving north of New York up from New Haven. I did a trip this past Autumn and enjoyed the lobster roll and other great food at Red 36 in Mystic CT (mystic has a pizzeria featured in a Julia Roberts early movie), and a comprehensive maritime museum with charters on some pretty cool historic boats in their collection.
https://www.mysticseaport.org/
New Haven has some great museums with unique collections as part of the university and some religious ones too. The original first made pizza in the US is there, Frank Pepe's.

And, the first hamburger...in the world.

Well, the National Mall is a pretty fun fireworks, concert, and cannon salute. Plenty to do and room for everyone. Anything coastal in a city should have a great fireworks show visible over the water, and maybe you'd prefer getting out on a boat. Boston, NYC, Philly are all highly ranked and many viewpoints.

>>1234933
If you want rural England, your best choices are the south West or Norfolk/Suffolk imo

For this tho you do need to a rent a car, English public transport is shit

You're American, so you're about 2 levels too loud. We don't appreciate comments about how we're 'quaint' or how you think having a queen is hilarious. We don't tip in pubs, only in restaurants.

>>1234933
You don't need a car. If you have a healthy budget use the train. Villages that aren't on the tourist map are shit. Have a look at the BBC series "This Town" and you'll see. For small, picturesque cities visit Bath and Oxford.

>>1234998
Sorry the series is called "This Country"

>>1234761
No, it's the year 2017

>>1234761
is it even worth visiting? I heard it's a two hour trek from chiang mai to the middle of bumfuck nowhere. all the locals i spoke to said it's a tourist trap

>>1234761
For group or large family travel or travel to put of the way places with little tourist infrastructure, when booking with the travel agent also includes tours, like Gate 1 Travel

Mono Lake is pretty cool.

how /out/ are you? there's phenomenal climbing, hiking, and backpacking through there. though with this year's snow the backcountry is still going to be pretty fucking white in may.

>Driving from LA to Tahoe to SF and to one more place in Eastern CA then back to LA within four days.

Alright.

Nope

Why do you want to emigrate to a third world shithole?

When will you learn?

I just want to say that I understand you OP. Even though I'm like 5'9, I still will never look as good as a man with a proper height and it really fucking sucks

It sucks because it makes the girls more expensive.

I don't want to see China progress beyond a third world shithole. Imagine if one day China would be the most powerful economy in the world - we're all fucked.

> developing by IMF

is just doublespeak for "opening their economy to milking by international "investors""

in just a generation your country's domestic food and industrial capacities will collapse so you can produce monocultures of bananas, palm oil, or minerals for foreign corporations that pay you a pittance for the right

you'll end up poorer than ever, and with reduced buying power since you'll have to import basics to survive

end up fat, poor, and diabetic thanks to "progress"

Also interested, hopefully someone can drop some knowledge here. How hard is it to do a working holiday type deal in either Japan or Canada ?

>>1240493
Easy in Canada... Everyone who works at ski hills are locals or foreigners. But I think it's a lottery system and some countries get more visas than others. Blue mountain if you're in ontario, Tremblant if you're in Quebec, and pretty much anywhere in Alberta or bc will be decent (obviously whistler for the true wild experience)

>red mountain BC Canada
>Whistler
>Breckenridge CO + the others, Vail, beaver creek, Keystone
>Silver Mountain, Idaho
>Bannoe, Russia
>Abzakovo, Russia

Then all the normal places around me.....

I really liked all for different reasons, Colorado was very high, huge rail parks. Russia, not as developed as Usa, but fun for newbies. Favorite is Silver Mountain though, i guess its just all around what i prefer

I want to try south america next

Who are you to judge

Who do I need to be to judge? the allure of money and big city destroys any chance these girls have of harmonious family, and destroys local culture by breaking down family. Western faggots derailing every thread on this board makes no good discussion here, too.

>>1240448
fuck off retard

1 week wouldn't be enough for even one of these countries, but I recomend going into a club in Japan even if you don't like parties. The people there are very attracted towards foreigners (mostly whites) and drinks/entry is often cheaper for foreigners as well

Just bang hookers and eat spicy food in Thailand for 2 weeks. You won't regret it.

You can get Japanese food in Thailand too. They like it there.

>>1240431
what are things i "must do" in thailand?

one itinerary i was thinking of:
bangkok - 4 days
erawan falls 1 day (leave at night to kanchanaburi and visit the falls in the morning)
phraya nakhon cave 1 day (leave during the night before to hua hin, and see the cave in the morning)
phuket or koh phi phi 3 days (including whatever travel time needed)
koh samui/koh pha ngan 3 days (last day at the half moon party), and hop on a plane the evening after the half moon party is done back to home

not into parties, but these moon parties seem popular (pic related)

how concerned should i be of monkeys and dogs with rabies, especially when doing the short hikes i'm planning?

>>1240433
not in to banging hookers tbqh

Its possible to "do" most of those things, but what it should come down to, is how much time you want to spend at each location.

How long are yu going to spend in vegas? Do you plan to drive in, do a quick site see of each park, then drive out? Do you want to do any day/half day hikes through any of the parks?

The roads are generally slow, with limited overtaking options, so don't expect too much differences between what google tells you

>>1240423
I will probably spend only the first day in Vegas, then drive out on the morning of the second day

As far as hikes, I will definitely NOT be doing any day hikes. The plan is to drop in to each park, do a 2-3 hour hike with a nice view, take pictures, then continue.

What do you mean by "slow"?

>>1240417

I literally just did this, weekend in Vegas then Zion --> Bryce --> Arches --> Canyonlands --> Flagstaff (via Monument Valley) --> Vegas. Rented a Dodge Challenger, just stop for gas whenever, no worries. I've been to Grand Canyon, I think its overrated and find Zion much much better.Angel's Landing hike in Zion definitely a bucket list to-do.

I got lost in Finland for 10 hours without any money.
Walked the whole time.
Was pretty cool though.
It was nice seeing some of the local lower socio-economic people. Where I'm from they're called bogans and, as it turns out, they act the same.
Also I saw three Finnish girls with the phattest, thicc, pawg butts ever.

>>1239940
Finnish girls are so fucking ugly. I don't think I can think of a country with uglier girls. Big, chunky faces and ugly skin
