What city?

Avoid flying via Delayjing. It's been a while since anyone I know got out of their without a delay ir cancellation.

Use ctrip to book internal flights. Do the train tickets on wechat.

They will all have pretty similar air quality most of the time. I was in Nanjing a couple of months ago and the air was good enough, it was constantly overcast.

>>1289384
The air quality is absolute shit in every single Asian metropolis, there's no exception.

>>1289418
Nah, I've been to some places in China with good air. I was in Hangzhou when it was pristine. I'm curious as to what they are like on a regular basis though, considering living in one of them and I don't want bad air for a few years. My impression for the few days I was in each was

Shanghai - tolerable, average for a big city
Nanjing - same as Shanghai
Hangzhou - Nice and fresh

I need to know what it's really like though over a long period of time.

oh and btw I leave tomorrow morning

NY


The Staten Island ferry is FREE (don't let anyone sell you a ticket) and you can see the docks and the statue of liberty. Just don't ... stay in Staten island. Come back.


The Metropolitan Museum is beautiful, and technically free. You can donate whatever you want for a ticket, just make sure you get the ticket at the desks inside. I, personally, rather you pay something because you are visiting and it helps it stay up. Just give em 5$.


I would say avoid the bronx, in my opinion... nothing really comes to mind to me for visitors to see besides the Bronx Zoo - an amazingly large zoo.


Avoid the far reaches north of Manhattan (above 96th Street on either the east or west) unless you like to get down and dirty with less touristy things and have experience with not being overwhelmed by things...


dont really feel like typing more on my own so ask something and I or others may see it.

just to be clear so you don't get on the boat and feel lost - it doesnt stop at the statue of liberty. but you can see it closer from the boat.

>do you have to follow the laws of the country you're in?
are you really asking this question?

>>1289334
When you visit a country you have to abide to ALL host country laws.

>>1289336
Bravo, quite helpful and not what I was asking. If a U.S citizen (21+) came to Canada and had sexual relations with a person of 16 or 17 years of age (assuming he or she followed the correct protocol for such relations) it would be legal in Canada but illegal as a U.S citizen. One guy told me that it does not matter where you travel, you must abide by the sex laws of the U.S. and charge you no matter where you are at.

collocations are no options for you?

>>1289277
What do you mean by this?

>>1289314
sorry meant shared flat. Where do you want to live?
You can usualy trust people in germany, austria and switzerland. In the east I personaly would not trust people so easily

>No real savings
Found your first problem

>>1289186

How much would I need to save? Say I had the savings required, what would be the best route going about it?

Non immigrant work visa?

I wouldn't bother familia, the work situation over there is awful.
Your best bet would be for your job to send you there for a set amount of time, I think that gets you a work visa.
The Mexicans etc get in easy as they do it illegally, have family/friend ties within the states and mexico has a land border so they just have to cross the desert and river.

Enjoy the beach

I lived in northern Louisiana for a few years while going to school. My favorite thing I saw was people living in a house in a national park in the middle of the swampy forest, just because their family had the house there before the designation.

Don't stay in a hotel if you can't afford to eat there. Stay somewhere cheaper and eat out.

Why are all the stupid questions on this board always from weebs

>>1289052
This.
Also when breakfast isn't included they usually ask for your room number and name when you enter the room. They check their records on the spot or while you eat and then will come to you and make you sign a bill that will be charged to your room. You will not be the first man in history to try to eat free at a hotel breakfast you know. This is also one of the reasons why many hotels pre authorize a deposit on your credit card.

Tl;dr don't try to scam the hotel for a breakfast, just go to fucking Starbucks if you are too cheap.

I can afford it you dumb pleb. How about putting your 4chan basement dwelling ego aside for one second and think. I just wanted to save $200 and i will definitely stay at a place with a breakfast option because i don't want to eat 7/11 food all the time and eating out is more expensive especially with two people.

Woohoo!

Gas and tobacco prices are a shitload higher. Bring a few cartons of cigs and chaw to sell to the idiot addicts.

You should do fine with english.
Most of the youth knows enough to communicate with you, so better look out for younger folk.
The hooker thing you heard about is probably the Pascha. It's a 10 something stories tall brothel with all kind of fetishstuff inside. Don't know how the payment works there, never went there.
If you want easy pussy just go to a nightclub

I went there last year for 9 days and I spoke English all the time without any problem.

lots of people speak English there, I went without knowing any German words and I was fine. Just say "Spekin Z English?" And people will help you

Just don't only go to meme cities. At least stop over in some smaller towns while travelling between these places. Spend some hours there. E.g. go from Copenhagen to Lubeck and then travel to Berlin.

I occasionally felt homesick when I was an expat in HK.
I enjoyed life there thoroughly but I really missed some apects of home (France).
One of them was just chilling in cafés, drinking and eating at a terrace. This is so ingrained in french lifestyle, and in western/mediterranean european countries, that you take it for granted. Then you live in HK and fucking Starbucks becomes the most chill place to hang with buddies if you just want to chat in a semi comfortable place with <120 dB ambiant sound. Rooftops and clubs are nice, so are fancy restaurants, but everything is either in shopping malls, hotels premises, or in super busy (mid levels) or remote (Stanley) places.

But I also did miss HK (still do) after leaving it.

Also now that I have moved to a tropical confetti island, and going back to France once a year only, I do miss the huge selection in shops and cheap cost of life, the diversity of landscapes within a few hours drive, and the ability to travel for cheap.

First day in Varanasi was an absolute shock and I wanted to go home desu
It was so filthy, on the train the guy next to me had lice in his hair, the city was so filthy it was a total shock. Then it turned into an epic adventure and I started to enjoy it very much.

>>1288751
I always get homesick after being away over 2 weeks. I am very close with my family still and I start to miss them. My wife gets the same way although it's over our fucking dog she misses.
