Ensenada, Mexico is literally what you just described. No salmon but lobster, crab, halibut, tuna and even shark is sold on the reg.

Daily caught shit is cheap and fought over.

Shrimp is fucking god tier.

Clams and oysters are beyond words

And if you're trying to make a specialty dish like ceviche or fish tacos, they can tell you the best option for you to buy.

Plus it's a modern tourist town so there's not much of a cultural shock or whatever.

go to mississippi or alabama and get some seafood on the gulf coast.

deep fried or grilled. it's all cheap shit, shrimp, crab, and mullet or catfish. fresh and if its fried the batter is amazing everywhere, if it's grilled the seasoning afterward is going to be perfect. main thing is it's just fresh and the quality is amazing.

Tongyeong, Changwon and Busan all have incredible fish markets in Korea. Be prepared to haggle or go with a Korean friend.

You're so retarded, you should not travel at all. Oh my god....

I feel like its unlikely. Encrypt your hard drive with Bitlocker or something

What is retarded about my question? I am likely to be in a country where porn is illegal, I would like to know how likely it is they will check my electronic devices for porn.

Cleveland. Nobody would ever go there or admit to doing so.

You could pretty much go anywhere. The odds he would be able to find you are astronomical, specially if you kept moving.

I'm gonna be in Florida before it and I'm hoping to hitch hike to a good spot in the center. If anybody wants to meet up let me know. Not sure what nearby state would be good...

OP here

My gf and I are driving from LA to West Idaho with a detour to Mammoth Lakes (there's a restaurant there she really likes). We're staying at airbnbs. 2 of our airbnb places in Idaho are right on a river or creek. Our place in McCall is huge but its in the suburbs/woods.

The day of the eclipse we'll be in a super small town right in the center line.

I'm looking forward to doing some jet skiing on Payette Lake the day after the eclipse.

We'll leave LA the Friday before the eclipse and come home Saturday, hopefully in time for Floyd/Conor.

I'm going to Tennessee with the gf should be fun. Does anyone know when the next big eclipse in the USA is going to happen?

I sucked a chicks's dick in Thailand and still regret it.

At least the cock was rather feminine.

>Usually I just try to go out, or try things I've never heard of anyone else doing that interests me, meet up with people with similar passions and push the limits on what we will do.
>I think there's a level of emotional honesty which shouldn't be talked about all the time, but occasionally should be delved into deeply, raffling about deep rooted feelings or thoughts is liberating, when most of the time there may be parts of your psyche that you bury because it makes your life easier, letting these out in front of others, consequences be damned has been one of the moist rewarding decisions of my life. That being said, I'm not one of those people who believe that always brimg yourself is the best thing to do, humans are smart enough to know how and when to use restraint, at least to a degree.
>feeling like I've done something, no one has ever seen in a creative way, feeling like I'm breaking things, but not to hurt others just to do it. Growing and overcoming obstacles while working with a community. Risking my life for the thrill or something I believe in.
>Spicing up your life is Definitely worth it, but it's hard to beat the real thing, putting yourself into new circumstances is necessary for people to have enjoyable lives, whether that be through physical travel or other.

At any given moment there is a part of the world that has the most chaos occuring at a given time. This part of the world is usually occupied by military units. Good luck if you are up for it, it's worth it.

I've seriously thought about it, almost joined the Foriegn Legion when I was around 18.
I want to be able to keep living so I'm trying to find smarter ways to go about it if I can, but If I can't. I guess we'll see if I can put my money where my mouth is.

OP starting it off:
>29 y/o f + 30 y/o m
>Both American
>Relatively seasoned travelers
>Arrive 20 Sep; depart 02 Oct: 12 days total, but effectively 8-9 days of travel (10 is pushing it)
>Planning on backpacking
>Planning on Spain/Morocco
>Is it worth it do do both countries and/or Portugal?
>What is the best way to superpack the itinerary?
>Tips, advice, costs?
We decided we're going to have a 5-city itinerary:
1. Granada
>Arrival and tour
2. Malaga
>Both head there and tour
>Find a way to get to Tangier
3. Tangier, Morocco,
>Day tour
>Stay overnight
4. Seville
>Day tour
>Train to Cordoba
5. Cordoba
>Day tour
>Train to Seville, depart
Thoughts?
>On Morocco
We likely will not have time for Marrakesh this trip, and perhaps not Tangier nor Portugal, though would consider them. We realize not to make the mistake of getting on the ferry at Motril, and it taking it to Mellilla, without realizing it’s technically Spain, and we realize we’ll have to find a way (bus or otherwise) to Algeciras, or Tarifa if the plan is to get to Tangier.
>On Spain
We realize that we’re rushing spain, and that discovering the history and current life of cities like Seville and Granada take many people at least a week each

Why did you post this again?

>>1292996
Because the old thread died, because creating this thread only pruned one that had 6 replies and hasn't been responded to in almost a month, and because there are a fair amount of people on this board that have been to, are in, or want to go to the general area of Iberia and NW Africa.

>>1292718
>any/all advice.

Maybe be cautious about selecting your image to open a thread on a work-safe board. Exactly where that line will be drawn is hard to predict, and you'll get more information f your thread is not deleted.

>>1292724
ok well im optimistic let's see how things go thx pal

>>1292644
Which airport? I will plan you fast trip accordingly.

>>1292647
Istanbul Atatürk Airport. On my way back I will have a layover again though, but of 11h. So I'm planning to visit the Fatih disctrict with all the big sights then (Blue Mosque, Aya Sophia, etc)

For the 5h layover I was thinking of taking a cab to the Galata tower, then head to Taksim, then to Dolmabahce and finally a uber/cab to the Bosphorus bridge. My plane leaves just after rush hour so I don't know if it's feasible with all the traffic

>>1292649
OK.

From Atatürk Airport
1- take train to Aksaray 35 min or something
2- then take tram to beyazit square: 2 min walk away from station
3- see beyazıt square and grand bazaar
4- walk down to sultanahmet square from there (10 min)
5- see blue mosque, ajasofia and Basilica Cistern
6- walk 5 min on same street : you will see topkapı palace
7- if u are not tired walk like 15-20 min more you will be in eminönü (or just take tram)
8- visit other side of grand bazaar, enjoy golden horn, maybe eat fish sandwich from boats
9- pass across to bridge to karakoy
10- visit famous karakoy güllüoğlu baklava shop (5 min walk from bridge)
11- go to galata tower
12- walk to istiklal street
13- reach to taksim
14- take bus to beşiktaş; dolmabahçe palace
15- walk around beşiktaş
16- take ferry tour on phosphorus (not in 12:00; better on sunset)
17- back to taksim and airport

It is route, you cant do it in one day.. do what you can and ignore some of them. u to you. you can check some turkish hamam and waterpipe place around sultanahmet.

German's don't need temporary resident visas (you only need one if you'll work, study, etc.) and you have an eTA number.

I'm glad you won't be working for me.

>>1292503
>German's don't need temporary resident visas (you only need one if you'll work).
I already said that I applied for a work permit, which pretty much tells you that I plan wo work there.
Therefore I need the TRV, as you said yourself.

The actual answer for me is:
>you have an eTA number

Thanks anyway, dickhead.

>>1292500
just in case you're still struggling with this...

as the letter says you have been assigned an eTA, because the act of applying for the work permit invitation was enough to qualify for the eTA check and authorisation

the eTA is electronic and linked to your passport, when they scan the passport all the details of the eTA will come up for them

as an EU citizen you are only required to have an eTA to enter canada

the working visa has not been issued to you and will not be issued to you until you land in canada and present your letter of invitation

the immigration officer will decide if you have met the requirements of the invitation letter, like having a resume, suitable health insurance etc and will grant you the working visa that you qualify for (health work requires more checks)

pro-tip if you want to stay the maximum you can, make sure your insurance covers that time period (2 years i think) from your arrival or you will only get a visa for as long as your insurance covers you

i'm going from memory so make sure you know the rules yourself

>But where should we go in between?
>Looking at a map/train routes, we could maybe do Verona and Lake Garda, or Parma/modena?
>Would love any tips you have for places I may not have considered?

You go wherever your girlfriend does, and you pay twice as much for everything. Chances are her friends are already picking the spots on facebook you.

More or less what you'd expect from reading all the usual guides about it.

>>1292142
don't trust guides and never accept the first price they'll tell you other than that its really nice

Haggle for everything. There are no fixed prices, and especially if you're white they will try to swindle you, because they'll consider you to be an easy target.
