I was in Madrid a couple weeks ago tho. Dope ass Hieronymus Bosch expo you got there. Dunno why 4chan thinks this post is spam.

>>8373792

Compared to the small town I actually live in, it's interesting.

But compared to Edinburgh, which is where I grew up, it's pretty terrible. Despite being the largest city in the region there are very few cultural events or book shops there.

I wanted to go and see some classical music for example: but besides a few recitals there is almost nothing on this year. Compare this with Edinburgh where you can watch a Symphony Orchestra playing every week. There is also only one good second hand bookshop in the entire city centre.

Regarding poverty... well people will often stop you asking for money in the street, but the whole city is quite spread out so you don't see much poverty unless you go out looking for it. And even then I'd say it's far better off than the countryside around it- the town I live in has basically been in a state of destitution since the 80s.

>>8373790
I was in Madrid a couple months ago. It's a weird city. Valencia is where is at senpai.

It's the same one attached to Deep Vellum, but it's new isn't it? I mean, the publisher isn't all that old themselves.

I'm excited since it's got the kind of books I like best--literature in translation. They apparently focus on small and independent publishers.

Anyone from Czech Republic? Going to spend the next year studying there, would be down for some bohemian pub crawling through the entrails of Prague.

>>8373525
Is that a yes?

>>8374720

You need to look up a bar called "The Bulovka Bar" which is located near the tram stop 'Bulovka'. It's in the north-eastern part of town. Nearest metro station is either Palmovka or Kobylisy.

They brew their own beer there, serve very good food and it's not a tourist trap like most of the other ones in town.

You may want to get some familiarity with Czech before you go because the menu is not available in English, but I understand that the owner speaks German fluently if that helps. Depending on who is working, they may speak enough English to help you order.

A more adventurous option is a pub called Bar Chyse. It is in Cimice and you need to get there by bus. Make sure you arrive early or you won't get a seat, especially if the weather is bad.

If you are looking for some more expat type places: The Globe, The Tavern, Radhost (the restaurant). The entire neighbourhood of Zizkov is suitable as well. If you want something more authentic and less expat dominated, U Vodoucha and Nad Viktorkou are both great pubs in Zizkov.

New Town, Dejvice, Hradcany and the inner part of Zizkov are the most expat-friendly areas. Some nice parts of town that are less well known: Vysehrad, Krizikova, Karlin, Strasnice, Kobylisy, Smichov, Holesovice.

Avoid: Haje, Kolbenova, Hostivar, Prosek, Letnany, Strizkov, Zlicin, Cerny Most, or anywhere that isn't close to a metro line.

>>8374795

Oh yes, and make sure that you live close to a tram line as well because it's a bitch to get around the city after midnight if you don't have one nearby.

>>8374817

Nope. I lived in Prague for two years, the first as a foreign exchange student and the second as an English teacher.

Unfortunately I never got around to visiting Plzen, although I went to a few other cities. You should try to visit Olomouc and Brno while you are in the Czech Republic, and also Wroclaw in Poland if you get the chance.

>>8374966
Right, they're all about literature in translation. It's kind of like Open Letter Books. I wish they'd open up for poetry, since that's all I've been translating.

what do you read?

>>8377574


Sounds pretty shitty, I know I'd be tempted to go hiking with people on /out/ as well. I don't know how people can be such fucking losers when they claim to be "outdoor enthusiasts". Like I have friends that literally don't exercise much and we demolish 10 hour hikes no problem.

I hope you at least got to bang the cute anon

first of all, out of all of the possible meetup scenarios, an outdoor hiking meetup seems like the most sketchy imaginable; you're even driving a van. Also, considering the memes of this place, I gotta say this seems made up when you got to

I wouldn't have much of a clue. I view most expensive equipment as fashion shit on par with "technical fabrics".

I can see that the two bad dudes were not good on many levels, but criticising them for being out of breath and slower than yourself is a bit of a dick move. And not being more assertive and letting them wreck the hike when you seemed to know it would happen is something to work on. Not to defend them because they sound like twots, but at the same time you paint a picture of normie going into loserville and I don't buy you're not at least on the outskirts of loserville yourself.

>meet-up for coffee/beer at some local place
I think it was /int/'s UK meeting that did this, and through a mixture of cat fishing, not really going out that much and shitty perceptiveness/sense of directions. They ended up posting about wandering around feeling awkward and finding nobody. Then a bit later there were some posts that like 3 met up and just sat around staring at their smartphones.

Not as fool proof as you might think.

so what? I love literature and I read a lot of it, but some of my good friends are high school graduates who do manual labour for a living. What do you have to lose by going? Are you worried we'll laugh at your lesser learning? Suppose we do: what's the harm in being laughed at a little? Vanity is something none of us need

If you know how to drink beer and laugh at other people's jokes, you're qualified to show up. The last thing we want to do is show up and awkwardly discuss David Foster Wallace anyway.
