What do you like to do for fun. I can answer any questions on Bahrain. I used to be an expat living there.

Do you want high class bar, live music, hip hop club, hookah bar (referred to a shisha locally), a hooker bar, coffee shop? Where to eat? Good restaurants or local food? Do you want to see tourist shit? Do you want to shop? Souq (Bazaar) or mall?

>>1204648

Hey thanks for reply

In Bahrain:

- Good restaurants (local cuisine)
- Pubs with craft beer
- Shisha bars
- Hooker bars
- Touristy stuff to check out
- Bazaars for local nick nacks

Thanks!

I am at work. East Coast USA time, but I will break down some things for you, from my experience. Mind you I was an expat there in 2014, and last there in December 2015 for a couple of weeks for my ex-GFs birthday. So you know how recent the info I provide is. That said I do still keep in contact with a lot of people that live there.

Man I loved the Terminal, what a comfy movie.

It wasn't so much a terrible experience, but more dissapointing;

I study abroad in Taipei, but i've studied Japanese for 2 years and have alot of Japanese friends. They're some of the kindest, warmest, most friendly people I know, so when i went to visit Tokyo a couple months ago i was expecting society have a similar vibe.

Nope. Coldest, most socially detached city i've ever been. The feeling of isolation is huge. People walk around avoiding eye contact, avoiding all human contact.

Had sex in Bolivia the condom broke and now I have a son

Yes, please don't go, we have enough tourists out there. Sit in your room.

>>1208190
it can happen

>>1208190
Nothing wrong with that. Just go out six days for each one you spend inside on your phone.

stop stealing people's bags fuck face

Yeah I saw that coming... Well thank you for your constructive advice. The combination is right. Pic related, it's my finger on the button. The button wouldn't move if it wasn't the right combination, I can even reset it.

>Also, are there going to be a bunch of muslims?

yes, loads. london is something like 45% white srsly. 25% of schoolkids there are white.

>>1207914
Ain't that only in particular places in the city though?

>>1207903
>I'm more of a shopping kind of guy.

Big department stores like Harrods and Selfridges are worth seeing but tiresome to me.

There are some good markets depending on the time of week. Camden Locks is worth seeing.

Don't get sucked in to the memes that are Leicester Square and Covent Garden.

For New York and Boston you could drive, or fly into New York and take a bus to Boston.

The other route would be longer to drive, and probably cost more by the time it was said and done than a plane ticket. But it's a beautiful drive with lots of unique places to see and I think you'd be missing a lot of great memories.

>>1207630
The Arizona-Vegas-SF-Portland is a superb drive with lots of great scenery, national and state parks. While Vegas and SF are also interesting. It is a fairly long drive with lots to see.

Washington DC is interesting with both the sights and the Smithsonian. The drive up to NY is not very far (well less than a day) pretty well built up all the way and few of the cities have any great interest. So a bit short to fly but of limited attraction to drive.

I really enjoyed Lake Tahoe, it was nice and fresh. I went when it was cold and it was really nice. Not sure if it's worth the detour but if you pass by definitely dip in.

>>1207619
visit Narva

>>1207619
If the weather's nice visit Aland.

It's really cold and dark right now so drinking is pretty much all you can do.

I don't know much about history but definitely check out Suomenlinna. It's an old military base with history stuff on an island accessable by a ferry from the city.

Also check out Sompasauna. It's a public nude sauna near the center.

Kallio äis a chill area with lots of bars and "cheap" beer. I can recommend some clubs if you're interested in those.

>under the table, cash in hand
Not likely unless your name is Paco, like to pick vegetables and don't mind living under the threat of deportation.

If you're willing to actually get a paycheck, there's shit tons of tourism work in Alaska in the summer and a lot of jobs involve cash tips.

>>1207250
Just approach random people and ask them for quests.

finland doesn't have many mountains, so the skiing they have is quite crowded

Where in Finland? Makes a world of difference.

Hijacking this thread.

I'm thinking of spending a couple of months in Turku from around mid March onwards. I guess that and Helsinki. Planning on spending a bit of time in the south of France during the warmer months after that.

I have a passive income of roughly $1500aud/month, and I'll have a few more thousand saved up, which I'm assuming is a good start, but it'd be nice to pick up a part time job bartending or something (cocktail bartender), for a bit of cash and as a way to get to know some people. Is that possible? I don't speak Finnish or Swedish, just English and a touch of French.

Any general tips would be greatly appreciated too.

If a cute girl initiates a conversation with someone like me it has to be a scam.

I mean, use common sense. If it seems bogus, then don't proceed. Being in those two cities aren't geared to rip you off. Just don't stay out too late at the bars without a couple mates and for fuck sakes, don't start fights with non-white locals. IE turks, brown people, gypsies. You fight one and all of a sudden ten more come out and jump your ass and take your wallet. Other than that, enjoy your time and take pictures. Try and get a day trip over to Neuschwannstein

It's not.

Depends what country you're in. most require a simple training day to allow you on small cc bikes. start there
do research

>>1206808

Son, you on a travel board asking about motorcycles. Do yourself a favor and stay off them. You'll just hurt yourself.

>>1206808
Start by fucking off to /o/

It's a nice country, much like Canada, New Zealand and the UK are.

>>1206754

It has funny animals

that's it

Weathers nice, friendly people, cool animals (very large enclosures that you can explore eg Australian reptile park), monuments/landmarks, and of course the Aussie party life and drinking culture.

>>1206726
you can go to the MAC flight website and see whats available.

its pretty random.

>>1207422
Bruh thank you for showing me this, looks like it's got hops to Diego Garcia and Guantanamo Bay and shit.

>>1206726
US military stationed in Greenland?

If so, neat. And what was his MOS that got him there?

Wait you left all your money in your suitcase? Or were you selling things from your suitcase for money? Something doesnt add up

Well, I had all my clothes and credit cards in there, including the apartment keys to my place back home. If it weren't for the fact that I went to visit my girlfriend I would be in the street right now.

I let them know I was stranded from the start, they were supposed to get my luggage back within 48 hours and they haven't; then they said they'd get back to me after 5 days and they didn't. I tried calling them repeatedly but they have the absolute worst customer service ever. All they did was tell me to wait.

It's been 13 days, I had all my grooming stuff in there since you can't carry liquids etc, but since it's looking like they won't ever get my stuff back (I'm leaving on the 30th), I'm really wondering what my options are.

I already described everything that was in there, I did my best to contact them but honestly they're just horrible. They blocked me from calling them and they hung up on me a lot of times simply because I asked for contact info where I could address my problem.

This doesn't add up. EU rules are pretty strict about airlines failing to deliver to customers. You file a formal complaint, end of story. Which airline did you fly?

>>1205873
get a hooker?

>>1205875
This and hang out with the Marines who snuck in there

>>1205873

Hong Kong or Adelita
