I want to go to Japan but everyone (including Japanese) tell me it's kinda meh.

>>1228972

what they mean is japan is very conservative. and yes very racist too. but dont let that stop you its well worth visiting for all other reasons.

Dunno.

I'm sure I'll go at some point, but East Asia has never held much of an interest for me. Japan and Korea and China are all on my eventual to-do list, but I can live without seeing Tokyo until I'm in my late twenties or thirties.

mdma is easy and cheap to get. Like 3$ a tab just ask around in every single club. Coke is kind of a problem. There's a lot of white heroine around posing as coke. People have died from this. As for clubs there are quite a lot in a concentrated area which you'll easily find. It depends from person to person which they like the most.

you need a special brand to buy a fucking bottle?

Dunno about street foods, but the thing to do in Vienna is immerse in some of the very historic coffeehouses of cultural acclaim. Have fantastic schnitzel, yummy coffee and pastries, get the famous cakes like sacher torte, some fresh apfelstrudel, etc.

There's some more traditional foods if you find it, from leberknudelsuppe (my fave!), to hot dogs twisty wrapped in bacon, various sausages like burenwurst/currywurst/leberkase to liptauer spread for your bread (oh the breads are good!). There can be found a lot of neighboring foods like czech or hungarian menu items, if you want that. The dumplings are always a sure bet to be different than the last place you ordered them. Walk through the Naschtmarkt and sample some of the street food offerings there. Delicious drinking can be had with the infused fruit liqueurs, like the eau de vie, apricot or pear brandies from the Wachau Valley (take a cruise on the danube through the valley and visit Melk).

I also really enjoyed some of the Radler (low alcohol fruit beers), and soda flavors like "melissa" and "elderberry" so popping into a market is a good bet. If you get a chilly evening, maybe get some gluhwein (spiced wine).

If you feel really conflicted on what to do and what to eat, then you might pay for a Food Tour, and hit the highlights for a reasonable fee, a prix fixe, and have it all curated "good finds" for you. This is an expensive city afterall.

Vienna is lovely, just wander around the city and immerse yourself in the culture, take it slowly, sit down, relax, have a coffee and some sachertorte, read a book while doing it and appreciate the beautiful architecture.

Figured I'd post my current plan, which I've done exactly 15 minutes of research on. Literally my first idea, so I'm definitely not married to it.
>Go to Thailand
>Relatively low cost of living
>Rent one bedroom apartment for 3 months
>Spend the time focusing on bodybuilding and learning Muay Thai (been lifting for a while, and been doing martial arts since I was little)
>Relatively low cost of living, so I'd hope I could cover all my stuff like rent, internet, food and utilities for about 1500AUD a month
>Go out and party with tourists and shit when I'm bored
>Go to other areas in Thailand and do generic tourist shit
>Get up to shenanigans and while away my days doing whatever I want
>Come back to home country (Australia) ready to resume my life

bump for interest

Myeah. I suppose. I'm not up to current with the value of your dollaridoos, though. Check rental prices, multiply that by ~2.5 if you just want to live there and do nothing.

I never understood why girls go to travel in Africa. I never met a man that was curious about that place but several women that wanted to make it their next trip

Go to the country of your desire on a working holiday visa for a year and try to find a place that will offer you a working visa (not just for a holiday) for a permanent position.

Which country would you recommend?

>Chinese
They also tend to shit in odd places.

Canadians can be insufferable as well.

This thread is going to be nothing but posts about mainland Chinese.

My take on the worst? Mainland Chinese.

Carry a fake wallet filled with anthrax

It's really not that hard, OP

Don't stagger around a new city drunk, don't talk to strangers on the street, be careful if you find yourself in a large crowd in a touristy area, and most importantly don't carry very important stuff where someone might snatch it. If you're paranoid get a money belt of the strappy, elastic kind you wear under your clothes and keep cards. etc. in that. Only have the cash you need for the day in your pocket.

And just to clarify, we've been looking all over and doing some traveling for a while now. We're not just sitting here expecting someone to do the work for us.

What we're just asking for is a little insight. I've found random small towns in warm geographic ranges on google maps and thought hey this looks nice from google but for all I know it's full of the KKK. We thought that maybe some of you out there would read this and think, hey, what they're looking for sounds like where I grew up and be able to share that with us.

Any help is majorly appreciated.

Oregon or the Carolinas

There are going to be hicks and yuppies everywhere you go. Likewise there will also be decent people everywhere you go.

I have taken Greyhound four times now and almost everything has been fine.
The only negative so far was a 2 hour delay in getting from Boston to Montreal.

The only weird experience I've had so far was waiting for a ride out of New York for Boston at midnight.
>get water from a water fountain
>two guys behind me start to argue and nearly fight over who is next
>tons of homeless people sleeping around, asking me where I am going

>That time I had a transfer in Atlanta
>The bus station is next to the infamous "Magic City"
>There is an extravagant pimp close to me in line with a pimp cup/goblet, and a shiny suit.

Some old black guy sat down and started talking to me at the Buffalo stop when I was coming back to NYC from Canada. He said it was his birthday and just kept talking. Eventually he asked if he could "help me out" and I realized he was asking if he could suck my dick for money. Quickly killed that convo and told him to move on.

I had another suspicious dude sit next to me and I was weary of passing out since he seemed like that kind of try and ruffle through my pockets. Luckily he passed out and stopped talking crazy to me.

The worst was I was planning to catch a red eye from Ohio to NYC that would have taken ~12 hours. The bus comes in and is obviously full. One of the morons working for Greyhound took my bag and the bus was about to leave. I yelled at the dude and you could tell high school was just the place where he got free meals. Took me a few minutes for him to actually understand the bus was full and my bag being in the bottom of the bus would make no sense. End up waiting another 3 hours for the next bus and the entire trip took double the amount of time as it was supposed to. That was the last time I ever took Greyhound. Fuck the bus. It's where poor people who want to fly go

Go to Greenwich, go to the Prime Meridian and be cool by changing hemispheres several times in that day.
Then have a traditional meal of pies, mash and sauce and Goddard's at Greenwich.
It is a cheap and authentic place. It is hard to find a traditional British food restaurant that isn't a tourist trap.
That was a small gem

>>1224561
Not OP actually

would you recommend any places where I could jog? Im a running addict

The D day museum is a must see and if you like music snug harbor and DBA on Frenchman Street are good. Also Rock and bowl is fun depending on band.

Alright, I live in Baton Rouge and know NOLA very well
New Orleans can be a dangerous city if you aren't smart, first some rules
>stay where the people are at night
>stay in a group if you do leave where the people are
>be prepared to see some weird shit around bourbon

Now for food
>Cafe du monde
obviously a must, the line looks longer than it is
>Drago's
a good oyster place, but the oysters are not good right now, you gotta get them in Months that end in -r, but still good if you haven't had them Acme is the same thing
>Domenica
Located in the roosevelt hotel, it is a great Italian styled restaurant, not to expensive either
>red fish grill
if you go get the krystal fried oyster poboy, a favorite of mine
>brennan's is a great brunch place, mostly everything is good

Pretty much most of the stuff you try will be great, Louisiana is the best food state in the world.

Entertainment
>D-day museum
>Bourbon
like a 3 mile party, ESPECIALLY for St. Paddies
>Blacksmith bar
Really cool atmosphere, located on bourbon
>French Quarter
Just walking around and fucking off is fun
>Drive into the surrounding areas
experience true Louisiana, rent a car and drive to Houma or Thibodaux, maybe BR if you feel like it

If you feel like seeing plantation style LA, try driving up to Oak Alley Plantation, if you are feeling like driving farther definitely go to Houmas house, and drive the levee there

If you feel like making a little drive, just visit the surrounding cities, Southern Louisiana is a great and unique culture

Good Luck

Do not enter into any wagers with guys on the street about where you got your shoes.

In fact, I have to question the wisdom of entering into wagers with guys on the street at all...

If you've never smoked before, don't go on a smoking holiday. Also, if you do go on a smoking holiday do it in the USA.

>>1224240
>Disclosure: Complete virgin - never tried

LMAO just plan a trip to seattle or some shit you moron, if you are traveling just for smokes you will be incredibly depressed

The US is the obvious choice, going to Portland, Seattle, Denver, etc. is the easiest and most enjoyable way to buy marijuana and then consume it somewhere fun.

Consider the Gardens of the World in Hellersdorf-Marzahn.

Better than generic museum X.

I would really recpmmend the ddr museum if youre interested in east germany or it's history, although it can get quite crowded in the narrower parts, the museum does fit in as much as it can into the littlest space.
