How does Las Vegas: China Edition have a sleepy nostalgic feel to it?

>>1212227
Because the casinos are quite far off the main drag. You can walk around the centre of town for an hour or more without seeing anything remotely casino-related

>>1212225
>Hong Kong is of course also a terrific place, but in my opinion Macau's more leisurely pace and the nostalgic feel it offers makes it by far one of the if not the single best tourist destination in the Far East.

You forgot "for a day trip".

I'm with you on most of your post, but you have seen all of Macau's POI in a day, walking.
Let say 2 days if you want to hit some museums, or if you go during the Grand Prix. It's nice but it's basically a small city surrounded by water.

Took a flixbus from Vienna to Munich and with the exception of me and my friend, every single seat was taken by a disgusting, poor looking eastern european.

You won't enjoy the smell

>>1211911
They're pretty much never on time. The buses themselves are ok.

Monitoring this thread, cause I'm going in two weeks, and I cannot last long without some good mapo tofu.

>>1211565
There is an actual China-town in Soho. No idea where to go there though. All of them have menues outside, and I guess most have Tofu.

Watch out for Wong Kei, regarded as the "rudest restaurant in London"

Chilli Cool in russell square is amazing. Awful service but great great szechuan food and not in chinatown (which is awful)

>>1211189
spend a bit of time in edinburgh/glasgow for work, both great cities. As an Englishman you can have trouble getting into clubs/bars in Glasgow especially if you are in a group of more than two, they tend to worry that the locals won't like your accent (don't worry you will have no trouble, locals are friendly and the girls always do themselves up and look nice)

>>1211189

Go to the Western Highlands with her. Specifically Lochaber region.

Lived in Inverness. Miserable cunt of a place, zero art scene, food is atrocious, no-one has any imagination. On the plus side, the surrounds are stunning.

Dude Budapest, cheap as fuck, incredible, absolutely beautiful, incredibly safe, lots of things to see and do, and somewhat less mainstream

>>1210958
not the same but I flew to Budapest for like $25 from Dublin

>>1210958
Edinburgh, maybe.

Are you up for Chilli Cool in London on the 20th?
Or you're leaving soon?

Also /trv/ brace yourselves, I want to organize a quick Sichuan or cider meetup that week, so will post this a lot.

>>1212489
I'm staying here for a long time, so yeah

So add me on skype if you m are up to hanging out with someone and deal with my retardation

Google fi

I'm interested in this too. Don't really need calls/text, just looking for affordable data

Hey OP, just got stationed in Europe in the U.K. for the USAF. As soon as we got on base we were told we should get a provider called 3, because it works pretty much anywhere in the U.K. (compared to other popular ones that only work in the cities which is crazy) and it gets GPS in the rest of Europe because we're encouraged to travel. I got the unlimited plan because I don't trust public wifi.

HELLO AM CYPRIOT ASK ME ANYTHING

>tfw someone mentions your country

>>1211713
>>1211939
As a Cypriot or an EU citizen you only need an ID to cross.
For Non-EU people I heard you only need a passport.

In what cities will you be?

>>1211939
Which Cypriot? Turkish or Non-Turkish? Or perhaps are you British Oversea Territory Cypriot?

You could try hitching a cargo ship.

Where do you live? Airfair is pretty cheap in our time so look at Skyscanner and the like. From my city there are flights for about $200-$300 to different cities in the US.

Cycled South-North of Finland while doing the Helsinki-Nordkapp route. Does that count? 1800km in 10 days, but sometimes I say 9 sometimes because got sick in the middle of it. Garlics healed me.

I'm a poorfag and travel pretty much exclusively by bicycle. Been to Ireland, the UK, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Denmark, Austria, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Russia, Sweden and Finland by bicycle so far, over the course of four cross-country bike trips.

Pic related was my longest trip so far, 3600 kilometers within 24 days, distances covered by boat not included.

It's one of the most RealTraveler™ ways to travel imo. Gives you a great sense of accomplishment.

>>1212536
Maybe if you find a real job you woundt be poor and can afford a flight but you choose to ride a fucking bike all across yurop

To pre-empt the /pol swine, I'll be the first

Stockholm is safe as fuck
It is snowing right now. Prolly won't be much better until April/May.
Cultural norms: Take off your shoes if you visit people's homes (like in Thailand). Don't be overly confrontational in disagreeing with people. Shake hands a lot.
Most night-clubs are shit.
The hipster density is very high.
Everybody speaks English.

There is absolutely no pain to cross the border between Denmark and Sweden. No real customs checks. You get on the train in Malmö. Get off it in Copenhagen. Feels like any suburban commute.

Remember your not in America anymore. Try to be less loud American but your /pol/ do ain't going to happen.

Standard things apply. Be respectful. You are just a visitor and should not have an opinion or meddle of an another countries political affairs. Do whatever you want outside but inside don't expect people to like you when you try to be a know it all when people live with the reality everyday.

>>1211381
Thank you for your insight. First time visiting Europe and this makes me feel a lot better about travelling there.

I'd like to learn and experience Stockholm and Copenhagen to their fullest. Are there particular places I should visit?

For handheld bags, some airlines have a little box that your bag should fit.
If you check-in online, you should be able to get away with a bigger/heavier than the limit bag.
No clue about checked bags because it's been ages since I last checked a bag.

>>1210943
Thanks for replying. Not sure what you mean by checking in online. Is that a thing? Im new to travelling in general so im just now getting accustomed to how this all works.

>>1210948
Online check-in is exactly that, you do the check-in process on the airline's website.
By doing this, you avoid lines in the airport and can arrive a bit later than the usual 3 hours for international flight.
Great if you're traveling only with a carry-on bag because you can skip the desk altogether, where they do the measuring of the baggage and all that. Doesn't mean it's a free pass to board with an oversized bag because they can and will ask you to measure/weigh your carry-on bag if they deem it's too big (and if it turns out to be above the limit, you'll have to check the bag too).
If you have to check a bag, you can probably still do the check-in online, but you'll have to take the line anyway to do the actual dispatching.
For checked bags, I'd guess they're more lenient in terms of size, not so much for weigh.

>>1212574
They can smell the weeb on you. You're not getting into Japan to teach english anon.

>>1212585

But I don't even like anime.

>>1212591
They could tell that you weren't weeb enough then.

I'm 24 and I have had a job at an auto shop, a few manufacturing jobs, sales at best buy, and now a full time job at the reservations department at a car rental company. The car rental company is the only job I've ever had that gives vacation days.

I'm allotted 7 paid days off per year and ten unpaid days off. I will be travelling to Italy for three weeks with my girlfriend. While my dad watches our daughter. I think 25 is better than average so you're lucky in that way. It's time to grow up to be sure, but that doesn't mean you can't travel anon.

And you can still definitely travel how you like, just make sure to get back to work on time and it shouldn't be a problem.

>>1212266
If your holidays only allow a short break, you'll just be stuck worrying about work instead of actually enjoying your vacation; it's better to just spend that time working.

>>1212266
> barman
Lol, a fucking barista, what a worthless position
> too chained down now
It's because you're too stupid even to figure out the type of job where you can have several months off per year. Pss, anon. Project based jobs. Anything else fucks up your schedule

I'm Polish but not from Wroclaw. I've been there few times though. My favourite places there are the Aquarium zoo (called Afrykanarium) in the city zoo, Japanese garden and just the centre of the city - not just the main square, but the islands with its histrical and modern buildings, pubs and coffe places. It's always a good idea to climb one of Wroclaw's gotic towers and visit the water museum (small but extremly interesting).If you more into "drink and travel" - Irish pub on Plac Solny 5 ( I know, Irish, not Polish but awesome irish), Czupito shot pub on Ruska 8 st. (artistic shot for 5pln each). Wroclaw has a lot of cool local breweries too. Hope you have fun. And next time you go to Poland, visit Krakow and I would be able to tell you more of cool stuff you can do or see.

>>1210362
Another Pollock here.
I lived in Wroclaw for few months like 2 years ago.

Good place for parties, especially for weekend and during the spring/early summer, where there are still students around.
Islands close to the downtown are a great place to meet people during before-party, as everyone are drinking there before hitting clubs (or just staying there for the whole night).

Depends on what kind of music you like, you'll find good places, but places around the central plaza (up to 5 minutes walking distance) are the best ones.

I can't really tell you about typical tourist places as I'm not really interested in them, probably the other guy got it right.

>>1210362
Yeah, I'm from Wrocław. What are you looking for specifically? Historical sights? Nightlife? What do you like?
Generally the old city is very compact and almost everything is right in the center. The only sight that's farther away is the Centennial Hall (which is basically a big concrete dome and probably one of the more disappointing UNESCO sites, not really worth going inside) and the nearby zoo (actually pretty nice, bit of modern stuff, bit of old buildings, quite large). Don't miss Ostrów Tumski, the cathedral island.
