do yanks need a passport for Puerto Rico?

>>1235532
You can cruise without a passport, but it is not recommended, because if for some reason you need to fly out or into another country it will be difficult, if not impossible. Still, you can visit the whole Caribbean, and Mexico without a passport via cruise ship.

I am cruising out of Miami for Christmas with the wife and kids. Ports will be Dominican Republic and Turk and Caicos, the latter being the Christmas day port. 5 day cruise 23-28th. I am contemplating just staying in Miami through New Years when we get back.

This is my cruise: https://www.carnival.com/itinerary/5-day-eastern-caribbean-cruise/miami/sensation/5-days/ech?Military=N&PastGuest=Y&Senior=N&StateCode=GA&numGuests=2&roomType=IS&sailDate=11112017

No, Same with Guam, Palau, USVI, and a few other places like Saipan.

Flights with Air Asia from Kuala Lumpur are less than $100.

>>1235360
You foreigners must've have heard, but here in Australia, we have stopped the boats.

>>1235360
Fuck off were full

Praise the Sun

>>1235233
It's been raining or overcast since I've got here, but you bet your sweet ass I'm gonna do it when the sun comes out.

>>1235229
I suggest using google and browsing around Akihabara. Good luck!

Also, with anything you can buy, it's most likely available online for cheaper.

>>1235227
You can do it, just realize you're limiting a lot of your options a lot and some places might give you less quality service

>Is it cool to travel the world, be American and never learn any language other than english?
I don't know what you mean by cool, as in something admirable? Or do you mean that you'd easily get by? If the latter, then yes, you can get by without a single word in another language other than English almost everywhere now. In places where you couldn't, you can hire someone, a sort of handler or guide, even a taxi driver as a guide, if it did matter.. Hand signals and body language work wonders. Without a second language, you do limit yourself some of the fun of conversing with others, and expressing some etiquette in meeting people halfway with thank yous and such, though. If it's just fear, then yes, confirmed. You can travel on English alone. I'd handpick some first choices though, get those out of the way.

I mean cool like will I be totally treated like shit because of my unwillingness to try and communicate in any other language than my own.

Tampa is the meth trash heap of Florida.

With that said; it's not the worst place I've ever been.

The Nigger Depot guy is probably the city's best attraction.

>>1235082
Tampa isn't that bad. Jax is much worse

>>1235146
Jax isn't that bad. Tallahassee is much worse

Whenever I see poppies, I think of Flander's Field.

Looks very much like Central Asia, the masses of wild flowers suggests a sweep of land between Anatolia and Mongolia. Such a pasture would be called "Jailoo" in Kyrgyzstan, for example.

>>1234896
Could be Zipser Burg/Splis Castle (Slovakia)

It wouldn't hurt to read something

>>1234653
I would return with half of that cash. But considering you're an amerifat on /trv/ - double it and you may be fine.

>>1234653
It's a depressed economy with high unemployment. There could be some lower prices for things like rent, possibly, or offseason low occupancy room rates, but not much else, I'd say. Their prices should mirror most of Europe's coastal towns. The deals will be 2 and 3 stars only, I think. 1000/wk is a little over 100/day which is about the minimum without really roughing it or sharing with your mate.

As far as what to do? You're going to just google that. Two weeks is time enough to do everything in the whole country.

It's rude on its own but especially so in Thailand and other Buddhist countries where feet are considered dirty and should not be used to point or put near someone's head.

she can put her stinky feet on my face anytime

>>1234478
>French
Go figure. French women are hot but flat out fucking disgusting and rude. All of the messiest apartments and nastiest pussies I've ever seen have been French.

>>1234549
Good point.

>>1234329
Thailand is ideal for everything. What's your budget? Spiritual may be more expensive than regular beach life.

Or instead of Thailand you could try some benign pharmacology in South America. Try that Ayahuasca thing. Supposedly it is very purging experience.

Bieszczady, Góry Izerskie (both are mountains), Wyżyna krakowsko-częstochowska (limestone good for climbing, some caves), Biebrzański park narodowy (swamp), Mazury(lakes). Seaside is very nice (except for the industrial zone of course)
As the cities go - Lublin

>>1234052
where are you from? i took a long trip to poland last year - warsaw, krakow, death camps, etc.

>>1234056
The Polish death camps were really creepy. Unbelievable what those people were capable of. Only visit them with astrong stomach!

file a police report and make a travel insurance claim?

>>1232741
I didn't have travelers insurance. I was over there for two months and it was my first time flying so I had no idea what I was doing.

A police report is the best option?

>>1232747
damn, just have to chalk it up to bad luck. the police report will only be a memento at this point. next time, check your shit when getting your bag from the compartment. i've heard of chinese gangs being arrested on arrival because of their in-flight sticky fingers.

Most easy is probably Ukraine conlfict.
If you want to document both sides you have to go to Ukraine first because you'll get problems getting into Ukraine if they know you were in Donbass
To Donbass you can get through Rostov, Russia.

Assad and Kurd held Syria are pretty safe to as long as you dont get to close to the front. The front is also most times not dangerous but there is always a possibility for a major offensive in this area. This would be very dangerous.
You can get there through Libanon. You can visit Damsascus, Homs, Latakia, Hama. From Hama you can get to Aleppo (this is a dangerous road because on one side there is ISIS and on the other Rebels but most times its calm. Recently there were some attacks and the road was closed but its open now.
From Aleppo you can get to Kurdish territory.

Also you could keep an eye on Belarus and Macedonia. There is a possibility of a Maidan tier coup. But most likely it will fade away.
If you stay ready to go there (visa etc) you could be one of the first foreinger there.

>>1229936
Thanks for that information. I will read into it all.

>>1229925
I wish you luck in your endevour, and have nothing to contribute, but it seems what seperates the really great people from the rest of the pack in your field is that some are willing to go into those level 1 danger areas and risk it all for their craft.

>>1229357
Generally if it's listed as a flight it's fine. You'll have to rush, but if you're staying in the international terminal it's fine. I had a half hour layover in Hong Kong and it was actually nice to arrive at the gate just as boarding was happening.

>>1229362
I've been reading about it on another forum and people have been saying they need to leave the terminal and go back through security to get to Virgin Australia.

Do eet.

Tbilisi is the most boring place I've ever been.

>>1235546
Georgia is cool, but I wouldn't spend your time in Tbilisi only, go to Mtskheta and Gori as well.

I once had the pleasure of spending a few weeks in a very ordinary and unremarkable small dormitory town called Le Rheu near Rennes for improving my French. It was, as far as I could tell, pretty much tourist-free, but near enough to some famous spots for a look around. It was an attractive place, full of regular families and people just getting on with life, exactly where I recommend for your needs.
