Hitch Hiker's Guide to the States


Two outfits (hitch hiking) clean and dirty. Dirty-spange and crack spange, clean gear is to catch rides.

Gas is free. Crack spange the lot until you reach your goal. Once the goal is hit, pull into the pump. Wait at least ten minutes (never really timed it) to see if someone will fill you up. When it's seen that you were really asking for gas money people are more likely to fill up your tank themselves when given the chance.

Now you have money for cocktail hour or future gas.

If you have more than one tramp doing bum stuff, diversify. Drop a sign flier at an on ramp, a crack spanger at a walmart, and get a juggernaut to work the gas station.

Gimmicks are useful. Mine was the taped up glasses. But even a bad hair cut should do the trick, or a black eye.

Use a script. It's just like working the phones except you're selling yourself. Your personality. So let that come through. Robots don't make sales or spange full tanks of gas, but people do.

Cardboard Aviation- sit no less than two car lengths behind the stop line on an off ramp. The sign should be visible five car lengths back.

Make sure the off ramp leads to an area with at least a walmart but more upscale restaurants and stores are a better bet. Chic fi let is good and so is starbucks.

Eye contact- avoid. Pick a spot to stare at and don't take your eyes off of it. Use peripherals to know when something's coming.

Never let the spoils of spange show. I wouldn't give a flier food or money if he had a pizza sitting next to him. Always have a food and supplies caché that you can deposite extras to. Leave behind what you can't carry.

The sign says- hungry, traveling, please
GOD bless.

Use what works for you but that sign is a credit card. It covers all the bases.

Shifts- 30 minutes to an hour. After that, switch out with your partner or take a short break. Faces get old fast and social media makes it that much harder to get by like this.

Shifts- morning, noon, evening, night. Go with the 9 to 5 flow.

Idle spange- sit in front of fast food joint and give it your best thousand yard stare, just like the on ramp. People will unsolicited give kick downs. Make sure your gear is seen.

If you can't play an instrument start drawing/painting/ whatever in plain sight

Busk- if you can play, play. People love it. Even if all you know is "Isnt she lovely" buskers burn up spots slower and they are more respected than cardboard aviationists or crack spangers. Some can make tens of thousands in a month.

Geography- the south has the best kick downs. Idle spange can get you by alone in the bible belt. The further north and closer to the cities you are the more tools you'll have to use. The more creative you'll have to be.

The professional tramp who taught me this claimed to make 130 thousand a year.

The most the author has made in an hour is 160$. (Disclaimer: One eighty dollar half hour, did not stick around for the other half)


Anyone with a copy can and should add their tools to this tool box. Let this bare bones guide grow into something worth sharing.

I swear I do not understand half of these words. I'm guessing that's a good thing, but I'm not sure.

Any Greater Cleveland anons?

I live in the Warehouse District downtown. It is pretty cozy and reasonably cheap given the fact that I am a block away from my office/grocery store/etc (my building is in this image).

It sounds like you're aiming to live in a suburb so this probably wouldn't be appropriate for you. I grew up in Hudson which sounds like it would be a good fit. Chagrin Falls is similar. WRA (my high school) is at the center of Hudson and definitely gives it a college town feel, although Hudson schools are also highly ranked.

Cleveland in general has been getting a lot better over the past 5 years. Besides what you mentioned there aren't really any serious no-go zones that I'm aware of. You wouldn't really have any business going anywhere dangerous anyway, although there are rare incidents in Ohio City/Tremont.

>>1281982
Chagrin Falls and Hudson are both lovely. I'm surprised. I left in 98 or so. A lot can change in almost twenty years. A friend told me Richmond Heights, Lyndhurst, and Mayfield Heights are all going down the tubes. It's hard to know what's true and what isn't.

I did a little research last night. I think if I could somehow miraculously work from home or telecommute in general, I would live in Novelty in Geauga Co. middle of nowhere lol

Before I go to China next summer.

just torrent fluenz mandarin and get learning. its a sick software

>learn all the pinyin pronunciations
>grab Anki for vocab learning
>despair

>What can I expect when I get there?

A beautiful city with a lot of British tourists

>How about the weather around this time?

Very warm

>Recommendations

If you want a depressing day out, Auschwitz. The salt mines are good, the castle on top of the hill is great and they have a firebreathing dragon statue, I did the free walking tour, which was a pretty good intro to the city and was quite fun and informative https://freewalkingtour.com/krakow/.

>>1280997
That sounds brilliant. I'll be hitting up Auschwitz and the Wawel Castle.

I thought it would be quite cold! Good to know I can pack properly now lol. Ty for the help!

>>1280961
>Anyone got any recommendations for places to visit, shop, eat?
Kazimierz, the old jewish neighbourhood is the hip district and is packed full with amazing bars, restaurants and shops. Great food at great prices if you come from western EU

>>1280721
I'm retarded, I meant Budapest or Bucharest.

Budapest to live in, Bucharest to visit.

Budapest is on a downward spiral, Bucharest gets better...

Clubbing is much MUCH better in Romania if you're into dance music. And it's cheaper. And you have much nicer nature in Romania, abeit real far from Bucharest.
Budapest is more compact, things don't necessarily work, but they tend to work a bit more than in Bucharest.
People's English is better in Romania.
If you're going there to study, your faculty might be world class in one school, shit in the other. So better look at reviews of that.

>>1280787
100% accurate.

2. I'm not your typical Asian girl when it comes to looks. I'm busty, I'm getting a lot of unwanted attention even in my home country, I'm afraid it could be even worse in a country where most women have "boyish" figure. I'm even afraid someone might follow me and try to rape me or something. I'm being paranoid, right?


I fucking hate you, get off /trv/ and fuck right off.

You don't know how to use these boards.

mainland china i felt the 2nd safest in 'as a female tourist' btw
taiwan 1st

living there must suck, but they didn't seem to dare touch tourists

roads are crap between yangshuo and guilin

Check out some temples and shit. Depending how long you're there for, you can hit up Larnaca, Nicosia, Limassol, and Paphos.

I was there like 20 years ago, but Ayia Napa was famous for nude beaches.

If you have a EU passport you can go see the northern side. Nothing that interesting but at least you get the novelty of being in a disputed territory.

>>1280707
Paphos is a nice and quiet place.
This is the paphos castle https://youtu.be/Q3oTpimyg3U

In the more dense cities like NY, SF, Chicago, Boston, DC etc. it'll probably be cheaper to book a hotel (assuming you are flexible and willing to book way in advance) than get a parking spot.

>>1280320
The bigger problem is getting carjacked and murdered. Wal-Mart parking lots in rural areas are probably safe enough, though. You can go in and buy a bottle of soda, then claim you fell asleep in your seat oops.

>has a 2-year old car
>can't afford hotels

No Ireanon around?

>Japan's sex industry is almost completely inaccessible to foreigners who do not speak Japanese.
So there's this site http://www.singlemanstravel.com/kinpeibai-yoshiwara-soapland/, basically listed all the foreigner friendly place for sex. So is the site right?

This is a really weird map, by the way.

If you look closely, you can see that Hong Kong & Macau are visible as separate pieces of land, as opposed to just being part of China.

However, the same can't be said about Singapore. You can see Malaysia & Indonesia, but Singapore isn't clearly defined on its own.

I'm going to assume that's pic related? It's hard to say honestly...I'd say any of the areas of Ohio that were once affluent and all those historical homes that have been turned into low-income apartments. That depresses the shit out of me. Visiting family there wherever they maybe (Hamilton, Middletown, Cleveland Heights, etc.) and invariably there will be a beautiful historic district with stately mansions and beautiful properties and all of them could be on a historic register well preserved but instead it's a slummy part of town and they've been converted into condos and apartments

We just had this thread. Unfortunately it's disappeared from the archives. Here's a summary:
Awesome and safe: Iran, Oman, Jordan
Just safe: UAE, Qatar, Bahrain
Visitable, but use good judgement: Lebanon, Egypt

>>1275764
Thanks for the response and the summary.
Newbie on the board so didn't see the previous thread.

Oops, I didn't mean to nip this thread in the bud. Bump for OP.

Scenery and nature really doesn't make you happy in the end, anon. You get used to it in a few weeks and then after that you forget that you're surrounded by gorgeous mountains.

What makes a difference is the people around you, your friends, your family. And people in Southern California as well as San Francisco are some of the shittiest in the country.

SoCal is crazy materialistic and superficial.

SF is a tech monoculture filled with some of the biggest techie douchebags you could imagine.

>>1272679
I currently live in Toronto and a lot of the people that live downtown here are insanely superficial. I'm assuming it's even worse in LA then.

>>1272679
>you forget that you're surrounded by gorgeous mountains
i've lived here since i was born and i haven't
>38,000,000 people and they're all terrible
there are regionally dominant types of people, but everywhere you go some are bad and some are good.
