I'd recommend going through South Dakota on I-90 rather than North Dakota on I-94. I can't think of a single thing of note in North Dakota and that area of Montana but South Dakota has a bunch of cool and neat things that you can see and do.

Also I must ask, is there anything specific that brings you to Buffalo or is it just general coverage?

I live in California, and near San Francisco for more than 20 years. I have visited Los Angeles many times. I can answer anything you need about these places.

im going through canada so ill visit toronto, and niagra falls, then come through buffalo.
this route isn't a perfect one, it's just a rough thing i put together. e.g. from california to san fran ill be talking route 1, not the one shown on map.

what are some places to look for in south dakota?

not been around too too much but i would say krakow, poland for me.

>>1229447
Singapore and Dubai seem very aesthetic. Modern straight shapes of glass and steel. None of that old world ruin and decadence.

Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Tokyo

When are you going? season changes in Israel can be significant. Like, the difference between be sweaty and comfortable or being sweaty and dying while you wait for a bus. I wuold say israel for history and shit but not in the heat of their summer

September

I've never been to Australia, but every Aussie I've met has been far nicer than any Israeli I met in Israel. And Israel isn't that great of a country tbqh, the Old Towns of Jerusalem and a few other cities are great, otherwise there's really not that much to see there. It's small though, so you can visit literally the entire country in two weeks, in Australia you'll most likely be confined to a single city and it's neighbouring areas.

I'd probably choose Australia, based on A) Israelis aren't very nice, and B) I've never been to Australia. Don't know what else advice I can give, they aren't very comparable tbqh.

>Rent a Car
>Stay one week in LA
>Get the hell out for a week.
Southern california has way more to offer than just LA.

>>1228959

Yes $2k should be enough as long as you're smart with your money.

Two weeks in Los Angeles is waay too long. You can see all the main attractions in LA in four or five days if you rent a car. Definitely drive out to other places in Southern California for the remainder of your trip. There’s lots of beautiful nature in Southern Cali.

Things to see in LA:
The Hollywood strip
Griffith Observatory
Venice Beach and the Venice canals nearby
A theme park if you’re into that? Such as Disneyland or Universal Studios. I’m a huge fan of The Simpsons so it was fun walking through Springfield at Universal Studios. Universal Studios also has an impressive Harry Potter town.
Santa Monica pier
Olvera Street

Pic related. I went to LA in January.

Glendale isn't horrible it's just a bit boring. Not a lot of nightlife. It's famous for having a bunch of Armenians but there's a lot of Asians there as well. It's really not a bad place, not too far from downtown or Hollywood. How much is your job paying? You might be better off in North Hollywood (noho district- where I'm at), Studio City, or Burbank (also a bit boring). Somewhere North of LA might be a good option as well- Echo Park, Atwater Village, Eagle Rock, Highland Park. That area is quickly gentrifying though some of it might be shitty and cheap and some of it might be too expensive already while still being shitty.

>>1228911

I'll be making somewhere between $75-85k. Not totally sure yet (currently negotiating).

What are those areas like cost-wise? I'd love to save what money I can, but I don't want to be in a shitty area. It's tough for me, since my entire house right now where I live is $1200 a month, and a 1 bedroom seems like it's going to be at least $1500 in CA.

>>1228853
Disney has offices in Glendale.

It's a nice neighborhood. There's fairly decent grocers, although a very er uh, sometimes hostile bro culture among some people. I'd think I could raise a family in Glendale and be happy about it.

Weekends are traffic light. Weekdays are another story. But traffic in that region (as long as you're not commuting to West LA is not bad).

>>1228734
Kirkenes is really, really far north (and east). It's 12 hours of driving away from the place in your photo, for example. Check out this article:

https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Finnmark

>>1229244
I'm gonna fly from Oslo to kirkenes. I am Gonna stay with family up there. It sounds so crazy and remote which interests me. Thanks for the article very interesting

>>1228734
I'm Norwegian, AMA

>Museums in Oslo
There's a lot of museums in Oslo, the Munch Museum (to Norwegian painter Edvard Munch of "The Scream" fame), the Fram museum (to the Fram ship which Nansen used to sail to the Arctic), the National Gallery and the Viking ship museum to name a few. For specific interests, there's also the Armed Forces museum, Jewish museum, a museum of contemporary art, and the Norwegian Folk Museum. If you buy an Oslo pass (http://www.visitoslo.com/en/activities-and-attractions/oslo-pass/) you get free access to that + loads more, plus free public transport (bus, tram, metro, boat AND train inside Oslo). The price seems high, but knowing prices in Oslo, you'll save a lot if you plan on doing a lot here.

>Other in Oslo
There's the Akershus castle, Royal castle (tours must be booked in advance), the Storting (parliament) and if you're interested the 2011 terrorist attack, the main building of Regjeringskvartalet, which houses an information centre. Walk along Akerselva (10 km of river going through some of the best neighbourhoods of the city, through old industrial areas), take the boat out to Hovedöya ("Main Island") and see old monastery ruins or just relax and escape the city life, or walk on the Opera House roof and enjoy the Barcode buildings, a series of funky residential and office buildings being built on the seafront. North of Oslo you also have miles of nature, though not like in your pic related, mostly woodland and lakes. The neighbourhood of Grünerlökka has plenty of cafes, bars, parks and the like, and is generally a nice area to hang around in. The Grönland neighbourhood is rather "multicultural" if you want to check out/avoid that (it hasn't really got anything for a tourist if you ask me).

I'd say Norway, but i might be biased because i've lived here my whole life.

Pros: True wilderness, Turistforeningen which has a wide variety of huts around the country accesible for everyone, beautiful scenery. And Allemansretten, which is the right to roam (https://www.visitnorway.com/plan-your-trip/travel-tips-a-z/right-of-access/)
Cons: The weather can change drastically, cold winters. Mosquitoes in summer.
Would also like to add that while southern, western, mid and northern Norway is fantastic, Eastern Norway is way more urbanized, and the nature there might be seen as boring (fields and forests, basically it).

pic related, took it during a hike a couple years back, around and hour drive from Stavanger, and couple hours walking.

>>1228684
The USA, easily.
There is a strong hiking culture, easy to find anything you need, and there are a wide variety of locations and climates you could choose, whatever you're looking for it's hear somewhere.

If not for nature or hiking I wouldn't even bother to visit other states, fortunately we excel at that.

America, the Northwest is some of the best hiking in the world, my personal favorite is the saw tooth mountains in Idaho


Aside from the US, Patagonia is also a very fun place to hike, speaking spanish also enhances the entire thing too

>>1228355
You can't poo in loo either.

serious question - do these poor indian fucks actually get triggered when they see someone eating beef somewhere else in the world?

>>1228358
Same reason westerners get triggered over chinks eating dogs. Cultural innit.

>>1228244
The day you arrive, don't got to bed until midnight.

>>1228253

So on a 2pm flight from LAX don't sleep on the plane at all, and sleep at 12 Tokyo time

>>1228253
Yep, resist to napping even tho you are super tired. DO NOT GO TO BED until it's local bed time. It's hard especially when you travel eastbound but this nap will turn into a 5h hibernating and royally fuck your body clock up.
I used to chew no jet lag when I was traveling a lot but I can't tell if it really worked.
You could also start adjusting to your destination time a few days prior to your trip, if you have the chance. Every day, wake up 1h earlier than the previous day and try to go to bed one hour earlier too. This way, your brain will accept more easily to wake up at 8 local time even tho it's 4 at your origin.

Are there any regular hobos in Japan? Is there any difference between western/japanese hobos?

>>1227974
I have seen some, they are rare though. Some sleep in Akihabara.

Does $2000 spending money (not including travel/accommodation) sound reasonable for two weeks alone?

I've never travelled alone before so it's hard to judge. It's basically just for food and basic touristy shit, plus a couple of nights out.

>>1227845
my wife and i were very satisfied with an amsterdam-bruges-paris trip we took a couple of years back.

in the first two stops we stayed at crowne plaza hotels - good value. in paris, we stayed at a boutique hotel.

used rail to get between cities.

days spent in each city were 4, 3, and 4

we made museums the focus of the trip.. you may feel differently about what is important

>>1227845

If you're going Amsterdam - Paris - Switzerland - Venice, I'd strongly recommend visiting Florence, while you're in Italy. The city is packed with art, beautiful architecture and local romantic trattorias. Definitely not a place just to pass by. Places to visit: ponte vecchio, galleria degli Uffizzi and galleria dell' Accademia. Florence is a pretty small town, so I guess 1 day (early morning to late evening) will be sufficient. If you get hungry gry Bistecca alla Fiorentina or sandwiches at La Prosciutteria.

On the other hand I believe Paris to be immensely overrated. I get the idea that you jest don't fly to Europe and don't see Paris, but jest don't get your hopes up for a great romantic atmosphere.

>>1227845
paris is significantly less romantic than many other places in france

Myanmar still has a ways to go before becoming overly commercialized. SEA is not done yet.

>>1227465
But where will backpackers next?

>>1227466
Probably Europe, which they flock to anyways

You shouldn't have any problem getting adderall no idea what the Thailand brand naming will be.

Xanax has been banned for a long time in Thailand now. I used to grab few hundred at a time from Thailand/Indonesia then bring back 3 months worth of maximum dosage by law (Australia) resell and pay for the trip.

Been banned from to many rape cases of this being a factor in apparently.

Do you want to party with some westerners or a bunch of Thais? Looking to fuck hookers or back packers? All this plays into where you want to stay.

I am also headed to Thailand in the very near future for Songkran.

Where is a good place to hookup with quality thai girls that are clean of STD/HIV. Or any recommendation on places to hookup with backpackers.

Suggestions on places to party with Australians and thais

>>1227234
Most Thai girls are clean. Unless you are delving deep into slum areas. Which you won't because these are the places nobody can speak english and you will actually have to go out of your way to get to.

Khao san road is where you can find local thai's who are looking for western guys, you will also find a lot of western girls. It's the backpacking hub of Asia, probably the biggest backpacking hub of the world. Outside that maybe sukumvit soi 11 and 13 (I think) are other more affluent areas of bangkok. You will find westerners and wealthier thai's here. Avoid places like soi cowboy unless you are looking for a hooker.

Tinder in bangkok will be your best friend, you can find a girl within minutes and be banging in the next hour.

Hello from up in the air, first class. Plebs fly in business class.

>>1226507
Pseudo-business class on short flights is the true redpill. I can't afford proper business class but I always get last minute upgrade deals on 3-5 hour flights and the easier checking in and boarding is worth the 100-150 euro pricetag alone.

Yeah, only real advantage of those flights is the better food.

Just say its for work

If you have a wife you should travel with her.

why aren't you traveling with her?
