I heard Jakarta is a congestion ridden, polluted shithole of 25 million people.

I figure she as a native knows the fun things to do.

>going to a literal shit hole that is Indonesia
For what purpose?

To fuck the native girl that will guide him?

Latin America

>>1215273
Cambodia is what you are looking for. It's like Thailand but less developed, and the bribes are 7-8x cheaper than in Thailand for being caught with the same drogas

>>1215273
Are the hookers this pretty there?
I should make a trip plan of my own if it's so.

That's a reason NOT to go.

>>1209445
That is why I am asking if there is anything else to go for. I assume Staten Island is not big on progressive politics

There's so much going on and so much money floating around that it's possible to make a living doing pretty much whatever the fuck you want if you're clever. You can pretty much make up your own job as long as you can find someone willing to pay you to do it. You can reinvent yourself as often as you need to. If you don't manage to get rich you'll have to be clever about about your living situation, because real estate costs a lot here. Like wine? You can make a living as a sommelier, salesman or even importer. Like food? You can be a restaurateur, a cook aspiring to be a chef or even a fucking food writer. Want to see the world? Join a company that provides crew for setting up live performances and off you go, but you're based in NYC because that's where the company is. Have some sense of do-goodery? People actually make a living here working for non-profits. Don't care? Go make a bundle working on Wall St. The opportunities are endless. The same goes for things to do for fun, things to eat and people to meet. If you don't have the money to travel you can just walk around outer borough immigrant neighborhoods and get a taste of cultures from around the world. Also NYC is remarkably safe right now for a large American city.

>>1215524
Nowhere since probably the only place that fits all those criteria is America and you won't be able to get a visa for America.

How old are you? If under 21, check with the company that they will rent to you, otherwise you could get an unpleasant shock.

They will try and sell you "the insurance." If you have auto insurance in the US, it will normally take care of you -- check with your company to be sure, or read what it says in your policy if you can lay hands on it. No need paying for their insurance if yours is already good to go. They also will offer you the "convenience" of just bringing the car back as-is in regards to fuel. Your other option is to make sure you top it off to where it was when you picked it up right before dropping it off -- it is usually cheaper to top it off yourself, but if you may be really rushed as you drop it off it might be worth it to save a stop. Make sure you are both on the contract as allowed to drive the car. If you encounter lions, get in the car.

>>1216165
Also, if you are from some furin land, make sure your license is accepted here (google that thing), and have it with you as your passport is a valid ID but not a valid license to drive.

>>1216165
>>1216166

Italian, 29 yo, my license is ok. I'm not too worried about insurances, i just don't want to get overcharged for a car if i could get it for cheaper at some other car rental franchise. I heard that Sixt is pretty good.

Whichever one has the least muslims and highest chance of survival for the month stay.

I like Hamburg most. Friendly people, good fish, huge port and lots of hookers.

>>1215975
I would take Hamburg or Munich.

Munich for when you want the more stereotypical german more traditional bavarian feel.

Hamburg for when you want to have more of a worldly City with great parties and less judgemental People that is culturally more close to Denmark or the Netherlands.

You could also take Berlin if you want to be looked down upon by an assortment international Hipsters in Kreuzberg or Gangraped by a Group of Bulgarian Heroin Addicts at Kottbusser Tor.

I don't know much about Stuttgart but it seems boring

>>1215899
I also want to add that I have years of line cook experience so as a trade, I would offer my services in kitchens as well, even simply washing dishes for food. I do not mind sleeping outside if I am in a climate close to the equator.

They will try to find out who you are. If they can't, they will certainly not give you a job as a pizza thrower. They will just deport you to whatever country they think you are from.

>>1215899
well, customs would want some id, when you dont have any, they detain you then send you back to wherever you came from.

on top of that, if you said you intended to work without a work visa, they would detain you and send you home.

if you somehow got past them and got caught by police. they would detain you and send you home.

every country is like this.

What? No.

Yes. Donald Duck is a symbol of hate and racism in NY. If you plan to stick with Trump-supporters only, you will be fine. Otherwise, use Mickey Mouse phone case and key holder.

dubs means true, and native brooklyn fag here.

Actually Donald duck isn't directly a support mascot of Trump but you definitely don't want to wear around black or Spanish people or liberals. with all that gear they will likely believe you are a member of duckfront (not well known outside nyc) but believe me just save yourself the hassle and go with goofy.

Lived here all my life. Appalachian Trail is ok, Holiday Hill if you have kids, New Haven is decent if you stick to yale, and Casinos are alright if you're into that. But besides that we live in the most boring state in all of America. I live in West Haven right now near the beach and used to live in Bridgeport in case you were wondering

Grew up in CT as well. There's a thriving punk scene in New London (check the bar named "33") if you're into that sort of thing, some artists spaces, and Sailfest in July.
Middletown has myriad novelty bars (places like Eli Cannon's), and the rich-kid art school (Wesleyan) ensures that there's always a large number of college-age kids out being assholes. More artspaces.
Hartford has bars (a whole block filled with bars for 20 somethings in downtown), it has some theaters (for plays) and The Hartford Forum where they host speakers and debates. If you're looking for a better nightlife in the Hartford area check Adrian's Landing (a smaller section in downtown), the West End of Hartford, and West Hartford, including West Hartford Center and Blueback Square. Best bars for dates are Bin 221, which is a small wine bar downtown, and The Shish Kebab House of Afghanistan which is restaurant/bar/hookah lounge in West Hartford Center. if you like to kayak, there are a lot of races in the warmer months around the state, and Hartford is built upon a series of underground rivers that can be accessed through the CT river. It's called the "Hog River" and it's an unmapped series of tunnels that run beneath the city, so you can go exploring if you want.
UCONN in Storrs has an "adventure park" which includes a bunch of ziplines and climbing between trees on rope ladders and shit.
There's a small portion of the Appalachian Trail like the other anon said on Bear Mountain. It's a good hike, and there are group camping spots south of the trail-head that are rarely used and further removed from the trail, so you can have fires even though it's against the rules.
You gotta be more specific with what you want to do, though.

This country may not be cheap as Vietnam or some other places, but with 5000$ I think you'll manage for several months.

A chance to visit the world's most isolated country? Hell yes I would

>>1216153
you'd be daft not to. as long as you do what you're told to and don't act like a complete and utter retard it would be incredible.

I have been to DPRK, as have many other anons. Getting in is easy. You just need to sign up for a guided tour.

Also, some of your greentexts were false. If you're going to do a DPRK thread at least do it right.

In Japan on my last night, decided to go check out Roppongi (to get l8id). I didn't and it sucked. The next morning missed my return flight and had to buy a whole new ticket.

Went back to Osaka as my JR pass was still valid and BOOM! Got hit by norovirus. Vomiting and shitting for two days str8.

In hindsight, I was lucky cause in the plane I would have shat myself probablly.

So yeah, there ya go OP!

My fuck up was going to the shithole known as Israel.

During my trip to Istanbul last year I got lost, could not find my hotel, spent four hours frantically calling random people trying to get them to help me out through google maps in vain. I wasted so much fucking money on that alone, about 200 euros as I do not have a foreign plan as I normally only communicate through wifi when I am abroad. Then I wasted about 40 bucks on a sketchy taxidriver trying to swindle me with succes. (The hotel was literally right next to the spot I hailed him I later found out. He just took a massive detour). Two days later I lost my bankpass and was completely broke. I had to live off like 5 bucks for an entire day. (Actually a really sobering experience).
Eventually my mom transferred some money through Western Global so I could actually do shit. Then I nearly got killed in a terror boming the next day. To top it all off I missed my flight back home because I am a dumbass, also not refundable, and had to buy a new ticket which cost me another additional 200 bucks and I had to spend nearly 10 hours in some shitty, overcrowded airport. What an absolute clusterfuck. The city itself was pretty cool though. Shit happens. Cheer up, OP.

Nobody has ever been to Russia on here. Truly the RealTraveler™ destination that we all aspire to achieve someday. Please post pics of your travels when you do go OP.

may is a good time for visiting Moscow.
t. russian

Have a bump because I need recommendations on somewhere to stay/eat for cheap.

Stay in Chungking Mansions

If you like hiking, ferry to lantau, get on a bus, get off when to see the head to a hiking trail, 10/10 views pretty much every trail. also comes with golden orbs and snakes.

or keep bussing it to Wan Chai for a glorious mall crowded with computer parts. One of my favourite ways to spend a day.
