A think you have a false misconception of Moscow. lmao

I mean I know most people are normal and commies are pretty much gone, but November 7th will be 100 years since the Tzar was defeated and the Bolsheviks came to power, and that's Revolution Day. I know it's not an official holiday, but neither are a lot of interesting holidays that get huge attendance - like Freedom Day in Minsk, or Easter Rising in Belfast.

I just want to see something historic famalam

Which hostel did you choose?

>>1214207
Did The M the first time. Great place, very clean, awesome bar in the basement, have (or used to) amazing Blues Nights on Fridays. This time we're staying at HI-Montreal

Flea market in Berlin

Istanbul, Cappadocia, Ephesus. From the top of my head. Just remember that Islam is a murderous idealogy, Mohammed is a false prophet and a pigfucker and President Erdohan is a flamboyant homosexual and you'll be fine.

The current environment is pretty tense in Turkey, I wouldn't recommend going anywhere in the east. You should definitely visit İstanbul and İzmir. Eskişehir is a nice city overall to live in, it's pretty cheap and is mostly secular.

Koru hour is pretty good mate

Ever since I started flying as an adult, I've always been drinking on planes. Be it beer, wine, sake or whiskey, I would always have something alcoholic to drink with my meals (except breakfast; I'm uncouth, but I'm not a total bastard).

Reasons for doing so:
>to get the most bang out of my buck (I paid good money for those plane tickets, I'm not going to settle for water or juice)
>to try brands that are rare/unavailable in my country

Man, I'm one petty fuck.

>>1209030
This is of no help, but I'm thinking of going there for March.

I've heard it's more expensive than Thailand etc., but is it really that much more? How difficult/expensive is internal travel?

>>1209030
Don't know anything about Cambodia. Pro's and cons of going there? How is it compared to other SEA countries? How are the girls there?

been there this summer, its not really that expensive, you might pay a bit more for acommodation, which you cant expect to be the same level of hygiene etc as in cambodia

we had a daily budget (including everything from acommodation to food and entrance fees) of 35$ and it was really doable

plus the people are super friendly and not really used to tourists, even more if you stay off the beaten track (there where periods of days where we didnt see another tourist), so it kinda feels like a more "genuine" experience there than in, say, cambodia

I dont know about American sims but the an EU law has just come into effect that prohibits international charges between EU countries. So if you do buy one in say, England, you wont be charged massive rates if you use it in Italy.

I don't really know alot about American sims.

>>1219510
Although make sure you check that they dont try to squees it out of you. I went to Berlin the other month and my provider tried to charge me international rates (fucking EE!)

>>1219506
Go by your providers store and ask, most will generally let you know if you need to add a plan on to avoid huge roaming fees and if your phone will work.

As an italian who visited japan twice, i would say:

Italy is better for museums, landscapes and drinking.
Japan better for efficiency, safety and shopping.
Food is excellent for both and depends on your taste.

>tfw you went to Milan but didn't bother to see the last supper

Well yeah, she'll definitely be angry that you're traveling on her money.

>>1219106
No, I would travel on *my* money; I'm saying that I've stayed at her house, on her expense, for the last two years

2bh I've been thinking of travelling all along, but I just feel massively guilty about it

So government hand outs, yeah you should feel guilty about it.

I'm from and live in Cancun, Mexico.

lived here all my life, it's a beautiful city. but don't come here in the sprint break season. A lot of annoying white people thinking they can do whatever they want here.

fun fact. me and my brother-in-law run a small taco stand/bar on tiera luminada which is a huge spring break hot spot for tourist.

ever since 1999 we decided that spring break tourism is not worth the loud, obnoxious and nasty behavior we get from white people here in cancun.

so me and my brother-in-law every spring break season. we both spill mucus and boogers in the food we make. we also serve fruit punch that we make using toilet water and also spit in that.

we do good in spring break but americans are really annoying the way the behave.

still a really nice place to visit. just don't be a asshole

viva mexico cabrones!!!

I'm kind of envious that you're so confident in traveling alone by yourself for the first time, sadly I'm more shy and intimidated to do such a thing. Especially knowing you'll be alone, and there won't be anyone with you.

>>1218474
This is one of the greatest thing about travelling alone. You will meet so many people automatically, it's crazy.
All you have to do is go outside of your room and do what you did when you were a child, just talk to people. It's a bit weird the first, maybe even the second time, but it's not a problem after that.
If you go to a hostel, you wont even have to go outside of your room to meet new people. Just be friendly and i will promise you everyone will be friendly to you.
The reality is, every solo traveller is exactly like you, a little bit anxious and afraid.
People are way, WAY WAY more like you than you think.

Have fun with your new friends mate :)

Hang all your shit or put it in the bathtub.
If you're sure something hasn't been contaminated, isolate it from the stuff that might have been.
You can do what you can to tear apart the bed and try to kill adults, but otherwise relax and try to enjoy your stay. They don't carry diseases, they don't even itch for most people.
Before going home, check fucking everything. Every seam, buckle, and buttonhole. I swear to god they are intelligent little fucks who know where to hide. When you find one it'll squirm and cower, like you've just discovered Anne Frank.
Throw everything in a hot dryer before taking it into your house.

Option 2 is to throw all your luggage into a plastic garbage bag when you get home, seal it up, and forget about it for a year or so.

>>1218165
Oh look, the other thread about this is still up.

>>1216885 (OP)
Google answered in seconds, this seems everything you need to know:

http://www.safebee.com/travel/bedbugs-how-avoid-bringing-them-home-your-vacation

The wash-and-drier thing is probably a good idea just in general.

To which I'd only add, avoid staying in hell-holes that never wash the sheets if you can help it. Not all dives have bed nugs, and some nice places can get them, but you can work the odds in your favor.

>skimping on a hostel bed
if you don't have the fund, don't travel.

>>1218135
no, like, we're fine with buying three beds, just that it's nice sleeping together, so why not just skip getting another bed.

>>1218140
Yes you can probably share without people in the dorm caring but you would still have to pay for three beds as it's per a person. Why not just get a private room at the hostel

>>1218068
read the sticky and stop letting your parents have a say in the trip.
YOU are going there, and if YOU can't 100% decide what you want to do there, it's goping to be shit.

>>1218068
Stay in a hostel, fuck your dad. Who stays with a host family if they're over 20? kinda weird.
You have 4-6 months you should be able to do more than one class. There's plenty of resources online.
There's also a giant fucking sticky

>>1218198
totally this.
Do your own thing. Travelling is all about independence and freedom and exploring the world.
Being dependent, not free to do whatever the fuck you want and not being able to explore because you have to stay with a host family while going to classes every day is bullshit
