Vietnam and then maybe Bangkok and northern Thailand, you could do laos and Cambodia but, they're only a couple days each for most people.

Wherever in Thailand interests you. Maybe Angkor Wat and then fly to Hanoi to spend some time in Northern Vietnam.

OP i've been to Maui a few times. Does $2500 include your airfare? Hotel? that amount might be a tad light if you're staying for more than a few days. As for what to do you can't beat renting a snorkel and fins and just exploring. Seriously this is a cheap best bang for your buck activity. look into renting a bike too. avoid whale watch tours, and go check out Paia. Its a small surf town on the north end of the island and you can watch surfers and chill on a beach that isn't too touristy. have fun OP its really hard to have a bad time in Maui

>>1290668
Maui resident here - Make sure you get a rental car, as thats pretty much the only way to get around efficiently. Go on the road to Hana, top of haleakala, and into Iao Valley. If you want to just chill on a beach, south maui (Kihei, Wailea) is where it's at

If by under 10k you mean 8 or 9k, it's possible, but you'd be fucking disappointed with what you got for it. 2k you could get a studio or maybe a little 1 br above a shop, 3-4k for a 1 bedroom proper, then parking, and the only shops less than 30 min away are boutiques and bistros, so either waste gas or buy 12 dollar croissants.

Why not live in the burbs?

>live in the burbs
Because I want to have fun

Try a slightly cheaper neighborhood. You're gonna be pissed how little your money gets you in an overpriced city like Santa Monica.

>>1290656
Both good ideas.
When did you intend to go? mid-Sept is shoulder season in a lot of places and the bargains abound. Kids are back in school and busy, and the hotels are cheap. I drove around Nova Scotia mid-Sept last year, saw the busker festival, swam on beaches in cape breton, kitchen party music, sailed, saw whales, and had gorgeous choices for like $60-100/night with meals. I highly recommend the Trout Point Lodge and the candlelight walking tour in Annapolis.

Call up a vet's office and ask "wat do?" if it's both still alive and you still want to help.

I found my kitten at 3 weeks, and that was a few weeks of bottle feeding before she had the teeth and interest in solid food.

I hope you can help. I hate it when animals are in distress or pain.

>>1290657
Otherwise kill it and end it's pain.

This is what we did. We are in the middle of bumfuck nowhere in the Balkans, and everyone in the hostel is leaving in a couple of days, there are no vets around and the hostel owners didn't want to take care of it

Rest in peppermint smol cat :(

Glasgow is much safer than London. There's no reason to be scared there. Yes there are some poor estates where the life expectancy has dropped to 53 but you won't have any business there anyway.

>>1290624
Yeah someone was winding up you up M8. I've been here 8 years and never had any bother, even when Ive been stinking drunk in rough parts of town. I also lived in Highlands for a while and know both places quiet well. Ask me anything.

>>1290642
Without being too much of a hassle, how is it around town, what places to avoid, are transports ok like subway and buses, just general tips and advice you might have for a portuguese guy about to spend some time there.

Thurston's lobster pound is on the ass-end of the island, but it's the quintessential Maine lobster experience; worth the drive. There are nice outdoor places to fuck around and make a day of it anyway. Ship Harbor, Bass Harbor lighthouse.

>>1290622
lived there a summer and my sister is a Ranger. Farther through the island at Southwest Harbor theres a place called Beals, HIGHLY recommend, but you can get a good meal in town at Geddys as well. Steer clear of the restaurant at the Bar Harbor Inn, not that the quality or views are bad but they get a bunch of overseas workers to work the kitchen for pennies and then they end up getting physically assaulted by the management and scared into silence, its pretty fucked and I quit because of it.

I also heard good things about the chart room. I know this post is like 12 hours old, but anyone else going there would do well to listen to this.

Stay in, microwave a pizza, and drink 6 cans of Lidl-brand lager. Congratulations, you are living an authentic life.

>>1290557
Just walk around the city like most of the vagrants that live there. Plenty of cafes and shit to hang around in. Also the bar scene is pretty great desu

I'm in Japan

Where in Spain is this?

>>1290867
I'll be there in 3 weeks. Can't fucking wait.

>>1290439
fuckk sorry, just found out there is active Vienna thread.

Travel light, no more than 32L

>>1290421
This. Though I'd say somewhere between 30-35L.

Unless you want to carry a heckton of souvenirs with you. You don't need that many clothes with you for example, just find places to do your laundry at.

I'm a business traveler first and then taking a bit of vacation afterwards

I'm looking at taking a big ass laptop bag (I've put 1x 17" laptop, 1x surface, 1 dSLR + 2 lenses (standard + telephoto) in it and it counts as a personal item on delta/etc) and regular suitcase/roller bag

Are backpacks recommended here because they're good for hiking?

Absolutely not, no. This is one of the stupidest posts of all time on /trv/. Do not take loans to provide spending money. You take loans to finance transition to a position of higher earnings/assets; otherwise you will find yourself in a spiral of debt you FUCKING IDIOT

10k seems a bit extravagant for SE Asia

Yeah. This stinks as an idea. You're fucking yourself for what? Three months of your life you're going to pay off for the next few years. You're going to spiral into debt and only have a few memories to take from it.

Please either save and go for it or aim for somewhere else with the money you have.

There is something that makes you value something a lot more if you have to work for it.

I think there is no longer roaming in the EU

When you get to Helsinki go to an "R-kiosk" and get a prepaid SIM. They can be found everywhere

>>1290458
This'll work, but be aware that you'll be paying for data once you go outside Finland, only the regular plans include the free ETA roaming. From what I could tell, most operators charge around 0.5-0.7 cents per MB.

I live in inner-mongolia, it gets down to -25c or so.

You'll need two layers on your legs, some thermal underwear of some sort under your trousers. You can buy it there.

Actually, buy it all there, Russians come in all sizes so it will fit and obviously they have everything they need.

Any decent mittens/gloves will do unless you're on a bike/scooter, you just put them in your pockets.
Scarves, hats with ear flaps, stuff like that. You can buy them locally anyway.
Good boots are fine, you can get foil-lined insoles which help prevent heat-loss but you're not likely to spend hours outside so it's not a big deal.

Bring some nice comfy flannel pjs, they're great for if your building isn't well heated but most of them are in cold climates.

>>1290377
You really don't need big bulky jackets. Layer with wool, merino is good and comes in different weights depending on your needs. For an outer layer get something wind/waterproof (gore-Tex).

>>1290377
Just buy stuff locally, no need to lug around heavy winter clothes, there's much better choice there.

It's not that cold in Piter, but quite moist and windy, so it's going to feel colder than it is. Better to have water- and windproof stuff, thermal wear helps a lot. Get quality boots, crappy ones get their soles corroded by the anti-icing chemicals they spray the streets.
