You're taking a big risk. For what?

Yeah do it mate, fuck "The Man" right?

Are you dense? Of course not.

Its absolutely possible, as they screen for explosives and weapons not drugs typically. You would also be monumentally stupid for attempting this. If they find it you're going straight to jail.

Eat a Banh Mi Pâté for me! And some of that rice wine shit. And find the one that killed my grandpa.

All I can tell you is that he was killed in a village outside Hoi An.

Hello anon, hope you're having a good time in Hanoi!

I'm planning to go myself before the end of the year as my first solo trip. How hard is it to get around and what apps do you use?

I'm afraid as a first time traveller I'm going to land there, immediately regret my decision and screw up everything so tell me some stories of your successes and things you've enjoyed so far.

You're in the friendliest country on earth, and one of the most beautiful. To find sand in Morocco you have to drive multiple days through forests and snowcapped mountains. Gotta wonder what it takes to satisfy you.
What do you mean flights are expensive? You can fly to pretty much any country in Europe for less than 100 euro. If you want to get to America, look for flights out of Casa.
Perk up.

dont tell me what to do!! I dont have to help anyone!

smiling doesn't make people friendly, today six people tried to cheat me variously.
dishonestly is a way of life here, and it's exausting, for a day or two it's a novelty, but I'm sick of being overcharged for a handfull of beans, someone insisting I pay 15DM to load luggage on a bus, pretending not to speak english, "this way closed', "where you stay", the motherfukers try to short change me literally three or four times a day

and as for the sand, let me assure you I am in it.

the flights here are way too expensive, short inter-cirt flights are like 80 euro, and international flights cost twice as much as inter-european flights.
sure I can do paris for 120euro, but I can take six flights out of paris for that much

Easy ways to integrate with Ireland, talk about how hurley should be banned and more time should be focused on football so Ireland can play better.

Anytime someone mentions northern ireland, just spit and say they are all English.

Temble bar is the most authentic irish pub.

Cork and Limerick are objectively the best irish places, always say this.

The preconception of Ireland that you probably have in your head doesn't exist anymore. It ended in the early 2000s when the government brought in hundreds of thousands of economic migrants to fuel the housing bubble at the time. The expansion of the EU in 2004 made a bad situation even worse and now Polish is more widely spoken on the island than our native Irish language.

Thousands of years of culture flushed down the drain for a few quick shekels. This is veering into a political discussion so I'll leave it there. Pic related is a school in Balbriggan, a town north of Dublin.

at least there is space to escape the rising tide. I cannot do this at home in Malta. no space.
I feel a degree of guilt in being a part of the problem. But I'm European, Catholic and want to be respectful to my Irish hosts.
Are there nationalist groups that would take me in? I could be their Guido Fawkes. An honorary celt.
Really I just want to be surrounded by white people, and Ireland is the whitest English speaking European country. You can criticise this for being political, but white flight is a form of travel.

A lot of outdoors stuff and silk road history in the right places, plus just spending time in the cities is interesting for a few days since the culture is so different and it's kind of interesting see all the post soviet quirks. If your not from the u.s or are cool with a guide if your from u.k/ Canada Iran is a good add on as well with a lot of history, good food and friendly people.

God I wish I had dual nationality. UK here, know I can get in Iran with a guide but being visa free on something like a German or Polish passport would be so much easier.

>>1281817
Turkmenistan may be difficult. Currently have trouble paying it's bills as Iran (I think) has stopped buying it's gas. Plus it's essentially a dictatorship.

This is their almighty.

Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan all look like good best though. Easy to get into via Turkey or Hungary.

>British, Canadian and American citizens are required to be escorted by a government approved guide at all times. Independent travel for these citizens has been banned due to the closure of Iranian foreign missions in these countries.

Holy shit, I never knew. That's awful.

t. German passport

Is it true that you can't go hiking in Siberia unless you're vaccinated against tick-borne encephalitis?

May I ask where he's from? And how you know him?

Why are you friends with this fag? Are you sure you are?

>>1280449
He's from southern Italy. I know him since he was 15 years old since I live in another country and went to school with him.

>>1280450
Yeah I'm asking the same considering that he's completely different when we hang out as friends.

Go to an Oxygen bar.
It will change your life.

Take the slot challenge, play a slot machine in EVERY single casino.

>>1276918
>EVERY single casino.

On or off the strip?

>>1276916
Freemont Street Experience. It's off the strip, in the old part of Vegas so you have a little old-style degeneracy but thats mostly a facade to the quaint origins of Vegas. It's a pedestrian zone built around the old casinos of the area with a closed-off top that functions as a screen where they play live music/movies on.

Just out of curiosity, why are you going to London again? Why didn't you want to go somewhere else?

>>1286116
it's our favourite city and there are a few things we really enjoy there

for example eating at the borough market or visiting the tate modern (I have spend at least 100 hours there). visiting shops that sell used books is also fun.

this is going to be our last london trip for a while though. tokio is probably our next travel target.

>>1286115
yes, haven't bought anything though - most stuff is either gimicky or really expensive.
but I'll give it another try

It wasn't exactly hard to get in before, you just got a visa on arrival. There isn't really that much to see in Qatar, it's like a smaller version of Dubai that's still under construction.
