In venice the government is trying to limit foreign food chains. They want to promote italian food instead.

You can do it somewhere else tho.
Biggest problem is corruption and a confussing badly constructed business system.

How did you learn the language? I'm trying to learn it

Right. Florence is doing that as well.

Please, OP, no more kebab in Italy. We like it but we know where to go if we want kebab.

I've heard the Kho Phangan full moon parties are good in thailand.

Where are you from originally anon? I've done new years abroad for the last two years, first in Budapest, then in Bangkok. Both were quite fun, with Bangkok being a bit crazier of the two.

I tried to go last year, think it was rained out.

Cost of living is pretty cheap, food and booze are cheap as hell as well, especially if you come from the west.
Prepare for the heat though, its 35+ Celsius here every day

I dont know about the Islands, but mainland Spain has some god awful internet connections

T: Expat, been living in Malaga, Valencia & Cadiz. Maybe Barcelona and Madrid might have decent connections,but elsewhere I have seen grossly overpriced and very slow connections for today's standards. I paid 40€ per month for the shit and download speed was 300 kb/s at MAX

>>1284843
>300 kb/s at MAX
that's dire
I've heard of the infamous slow internet speeds in Spain, nomadlist lists them as good though.

Spain really has horrible internet speed, same goes for Italy.
Romania has quite decent speeds here and there, has some beaches, nice mountains.
I would just go with the Netherlands desu. Shuttling between Haarlem and Zandvoort aan Zee.

someone is jelly here

Why are you visiting? where are you from? age? budget? Social of antisocial?
Find a one night stand/ find a non-serious drunk GF?
See 1800-1900 culture?
See 800-1100 culture?
See small artificial important cultural landmarks?
See large architectural achievements?
See non-western ghettos?
The best thing about Denmark is the people, not oure material achievements. Danes are less cucked than germans and sweden-hens.

I'm a 22 year old male from Scotland.

Will be spending holidays with my longtime girlfriend.

Visiting because I've never been to Denmark.

Budget is not an issue. Obviously no yacht or limo rentals.

I mostly wanna meet people, taste good beers and food. Also interested in landmarks but no museums. Could be unique architecture or seaside view.

>>1284582


>>1285063
Also wanted to add that I'm very interested in good chill bars on/nearby the beach. It would be perfect if it had live bands playing.

>>1281574
Hong Kong?

I've never been to either but what I can say is just keep a low profile. I know people who've went (to to glacier national park and other forests). People from those area like not having to deal with tourists.

Also I know Yellowstone does have areas in Montana and Idaho

>>1279625
How can they expect tourists not to visit Glacier National Park?

I'll definitely keep a low profile.

>>1279205
Polte bump.

I've got to start planning this trip soon, and I'd love /trv's/ advice, opinions and stories.

>Travelling
>To China
>Ever

Better to go to Taiwan instead

>less pollution
>food trustworthy
>people are civilised and polite and don't spit/piss/shit on the street
>people don't try to steal/compete with/cheat you in every single interaction
>people don't stare at you
>museums are not 100% communist propaganda
>Chineseness has not been permanently ruined and perverted by communism

Which parts of China are less explored by Westerners? Where can you get that RealTraveller™ feeling?

>>1286768
I'd rather take the bus, cheaper

>>1286808
Is there a Yurop equivalent of Greyhound?

>>1286768
Not Vienna, but I took a shuttle bus from Salzburg to Prague. Very cheap and I recommend it.

Bangkok is shit

bump, Im in bangkok and I dont know where to go too

>>1285841
That's because you went to a city that completely sucks. Think a little harder, the next time.

I don't know why India would be different than anywhere else.

It is avoidable. Just don't eat anywhere that is quiet, because the curry sits there for hours and bad bacteria grows. If you go somewhere thats busy the curry is constantly being freshly made so its hot and therefore safe.

When i was there I met a girl that had been there for 7 months and had yet to get delhi belly. I fell kill after 3 weeks and it took me out for a couple of days.

India is just uniquely filithy and it is very common for travellers to fall ill at some point.

Test

I don't have stories, but I thought of two people... There was this woman from Xi'an in a Shenzhen hostel who could not even say hi in English, still flooded me with very useful information, took me out for meals, and was genuinely curious about where I was from. (I feel sorry for all the random others whom she basically kidnapped to be our translators. lol) She was just unstoppable and infinitely kind.

And then there's the Maori guy who ended up in a smaller Berlin dorm with me... That snore shook the whole room, and it was a sturdy one. He was constantly sleeping and snoring loud as hell. The sight was interesing, too, he totally filled up a bottom bed, his stomach was so large that it looked like as if it was about to touch the upper bed with each snore. My earplugs were of no use, and I didn't have noise cancelling headphones.

I think I'm quite lucky when it comes to hostels.

No truly terrible experiences with travelers but I'd avoid snuffel hostel in bruges if you arent a hardcore smoker / partier.

If you arent a tobacco smoker or don't enjoy the fragrance of dozens of chainsmoking 20-somethings smoking cigarettes in their rooms / courtyard it isn't a big deal. Rooms arent ventilated at all though so smoke stinks up the rooms and all of your belongings etc.

I got high with a russian / brit in amsterdam that I met from a hostel there though and had a pretty good time. Most travelers are quite nice.

Seems legit

I have been to J'berg in '15, there are actual ghouls in the city centre. I saw one tourist get caught, they dragged him into a dark doorway, I'll never forget his screams of horror.

Thanks for the story, my aunt is a white woman from SA. She and my uncle go there every few months, but they live in a gated community. I'd like to go there as an european individual solo tourist, is it even possible to come back home alive?
