hard to type from phone but, would big bear be nice? or what about santa cruz/ mendocino/shasta? bend/crater lake/salem?

I am having a very hard time deciding .

>>1249273
Op again, forgot to add - is there any way of doing a 2 week long trip for under 1000K (with 2 people)?

>>1249298
... a 2-week trip for under a million Ameridollars? N-no. Send me your credit card details and I'll walk you through a trip that's only 221.299$!

First stop to buy up alco and sig near Hamburg maybe, check tollvesenet.no for how much you can bring.
Oslo, stay short or stay long. It's a Nice city to see, but The best part about Oslo is all The parks. No matter where you live you Will have lots of green spaces.

The plan sounds good. Remember to see all of Lofoten and Senja, beutiful places. Also try to see Finnmarksvidda og it's possible, i would sau it's more desert than Manny other places. Maybe Even more than The mauritanian desert

Oh how original nobody has ever filmed Norway or Sweden

>>1249198
You sound like an insufferable person.

I can't help you OP, but it sounds like my kind of trip. I love driving long distances.

Queens is huge and the neighborhoods vary widely. Queens has a big enough population to be it's own major city.

I'll try to summarize the borough the best I can.

The borough in general is extremely diverse, considered one of the most diverse places in the world. The ethnic mixes you find will vary by neighborhood.

As a general rule, Western and Central Queens are very urban, while Eastern Queens is urban for US city standards but not for NYC standards. Eastern Queens is kinda boring in my opinion, especially Southeast Queens.

In my opinion, you can't really go wrong with the stretch of Queens from about Woodside to Jackson Heights, solid neighborhoods with lots of great ethnic food, plus they're all a quick subway ride from Manhattan. And to my understanding, there's a lot to do in Astoria which is a neighborhood in Western Queens right across the river from Manhattan.

For most of Queens, crime really isn't an issue, except for South Jamaica and Far Rockaway, and even then you should be fine as long as you exercise common sense.

Also, nowhere in Queens is affordable anymore, but some neighborhoods are affordable for NYC standards.

>>1248505
I think I'm gonna be studying at Queens College, which is by Queensboro Hill. Does that area fall more into the boring, eastern side you mentioned?

You got to see Sagrada Familia. You won't see any architecture like it. And it doesn't feel too crowded once inside.

Black Madonna is worth the trip too. Not so much the church but the scenery around it and the hike up the surrounding area. Tibidabo will feel cheap and boring after that.

Las Ramblas was just kinda annoying. The prostitutes come out at night and they are fugly.
Most of the food near the touristy areas is shit because they don't need to be good to get customers.

Barcelonabro here.

Do see Sagrada Familia, Park Güell and other modernist stuff even if there are many tourists. It's a unique style of architecture. You should also check out Montjuic.

To see the skyline you should go and check out Barcelona's bunkers (from the civil war), used to be a shithole of a place but now is pretty OK (just don't go there at dark, some junkies still)

Here you can find many breweries that serve local beer: http://www.ambcompte.net/restaurants/bars-de-barcelona-amb-cerveses-artesanals-de-tirador/

Haven't been to all of them but I particularly recommend Moritz Factory and Catalluna. You should also try 'Cap i pota' (pork's nose and feet) and croquettes at Can Codina.

As others comment, hiking in Montserrat, where the Black Madonna, is pretty nice, although I think that the Black Madonna itself is shit.

not op but what are the best places to go out at night?

>How do you eat healthy when you're travelling and don't have a kitchen/camping equipment?

Pretty easily, I just look around places well before my trip and use google/tripadvisor/facebook/etc to see what a place servers and then mark it down for visiting when I travel.

>>1249818
Plan better and book a place with a kitchen.

If you really care about what you're eating this is the only answer, or you could just ditch your autism for a few days and enjoy yourself while on vacation

I eat at restaurants that aren't fast food.

You won't get stabbed by niggers?

Any advice on public transportation?
Let's say I start in panama. Which means of transportation (companies) can you recommend?

>>1247180
want to know too but i'm going bologna, genoa and possibly milan or turin.

>>1247180
it's always worth to visit Italy

That said July is hot as hell, and there will be other tourist everywhere, so be ready for that

>>1247180
Florence is fucking awesome, I may have liked it more than Rome but it's hard to say cause there is a LOT of shit to see in Rome.

Venice is a day trip or one night max unless you are there with a girlfriend/wife or something.

I don't remember what time of year I was there, but dress for warm weather. You can look up weather averages for different times of year for anywhere in the world.

Find job as a waiter in Budva's turbofolk clubs aka Trocadero, you can steal from clients as much as you want aka charge double drinks from foreigners

>>1251299
Also, you can sell Vitamin c as ecstasy, no one will notice for one night and you can easily get 100-150e

Already know people who have done that

>>1251299
I tried to find a job. But as a chef, I got 10 years and some of the bets places in London as reference, still no enough. Waiter I could but should I head back to all the places again then? Will look desperate I think, I know I am but shits a turn off.
>>1251300
was thinking of stealing as last resort but this is better.

I know this is possible in Thailand at least. Someone else can probably be of more help but I know it's possible in Thailand.

You can do it at deer park Monastery in California

>I am Christian and do not want to convert or anything but maybe implement their principles into my daily life.
There are Christian monasteries, abbeys, cloisters, etc that allow very inexpensive daily stay prices (almost a donation really for your soup and bread supper), and you're welcome to join in prayer, or a "silent retreat" weekend and you won't pick up any unwanted spiritual guests by going pagan or occult with your vacation meditations.

You can hang out with Trappists, Benedictines, Jesuits, and others who have some pretty serious prayer traditions and doctrines on top of catholicism. Some offer one on one counseling, or some structured class or study to instill some reading or reflection times. Some have ridiculously nice buildings and grounds, and others are spartan sleeping, but gorgeous hiking.

I can't speak for the zen people or their prices. It doesn't interest me. If a person is interested, I figure they'd already study at home (why can't you?) and not insult people like a tourist trying on a hat. Adding a language barrier to study seems illogical to me. Probably you just want silence and time to reflect. You can get prayer anywhere without switching religions.

The job market is huge and varied, but you'll be up against some stiff competition as London attracts applicants from all over. If you're qualified and good at your work, I have confidence you'll find something.
Property prices are Manhattan-Tier anywhere central, I.e. absolutely astronomical. It gets a bit cheaper as you go East, Walthamstow is seemingly the latest place on the up. Don't bother going south of the river for accommodation, that way only madness lies...
Transport For London (TFL) is a source of great pisstaking, but with a Bus/Train/Tube combo you can get anywhere, and there's more black cabs and Uber drivers than you can shake a stick at.
The only time I've been to a gym was to deliver a TV, so I wouldn't like to comment on where you might go.
Despite what you'll have heard, British food isn't terrible any more, simply because we've stolen everyone else's. Consequently, whatever you already like, you'll find it somewhere.
There's pools all over the place, but for a real swimming community and the chance to meet some people, try Tooting Bec Lido in Hades/South London or even have a dip in The Serpentine.
Be fully prepared to initially hate the place for being cold, wet, full of pollution, and unfriendly people, it's a properly large city whose multitude of charms can take a while to reveal themselves. Persevere and you'll find it worthwhile.

>>1243359
>I'm emigrating to London in July. Anything I should know?
It's a bad choice, I would choose some other city.

I live in London since 6 years, hate every day I am here.
>m a white male with technology consulting experience in my late 20's - what's the job market like?
Easy to find a job, you will think you earn a lot of money, but within 2 month realize that anything below 100k per yer is too low
>What's a hip, central, up and coming suburb with good transport links?
Nothing you can afford.
>Where's the best 50m pool?
There isn't one. All are swarmed by waves of people. You will soon realize which ones.
>Best healthy, and cheap takeout food (must be both)?
Food in London is universally bad, extremely expensive and unhealthy.

>>1243372
>rd, British food isn't terrible any more

Buahahahahahahaha.

>>1251624
Only request is to stay in Pattaya and never visit the rest of Thailand

>>1251483
No, both are tourist traps and everything is overpriced, go chick watching in Montreal or cocaine fuled hooker parties in Madrid instead.

>>1251485
I have thought about going to Madrid and Barcelona but that seems quite touristy as well.

>>1251489
Madrid isn't nearly as bad as barcelona, Barcelona sucks ass.
