Why would you travel from Canada to Thailand if you only have 8 days and never travelled before?
And why spend 5 days in Bangkok? Especially if you have a girlfriend...

No offence but 7 days in an all-inclusive Cuba resort would be more appropriate

Don't expect that kind of weather (for more than 2 days) or that kind of clothing. Well, except on Saturday evening, for some reason. Beer's hilariously expensive.
Where will you be studying? Trinity?
The Luas is (are?) useful, regular, and sufficiently cheap. Definitely look at suburbs close to a line if your courses will be in the centre. They were working along St. Stephens Green last I was there, so that line might still be closed.

>>1208463
Yeah, the weather is similar at home (I'm originally from Brittany, France)
Nope, UCD apparently.
Sad story about beer :/
Will look at all that, thanks for the info!

>>1208464
All irish uni's have on campus accommodation just search "UCD on campus accommodation" there will be plenty of Erasmus students there i'd imagine.

Join the foreign students club they go on tours for cheap and you will meet people in the same situation as yourself

Travel around, Dublin is ok but Galway/Cork is better and more """Irish"""

Everything is expensive so have money

>>1208335
North and/or West

>>1208335
Charleston, Asheville, camp in Smokey national park, skip DC, Pittsburgh, and then from there either go towards Vermont/Maine for more nature or go towards Ohio and Illinois for whatever the fuck is there (haven't been to Cincinnati or Chicago)

>>1208335
id drive straight south, do a lap of florida, first the atlantic side, then the gulf side. stop and swim with some manatees, go northwest thru the pan handle, see pensacola and mobile and end it in new orleans....texas has a shitty coastline so id stop in lousianna..

>I have a criminal record a mile long, will this be a problem?
I hope so

>>1208332
Being born on US soil or being born to a US citizen both lead to citizenship. It doesn't sound like this is a question of "naturalization". In the second instance you may have to affirmatively claim it. If you parents never registered you then there may be some sort of expiration age...18 perhaps?

>>1208332
don't be a criminal

>>1207703
make sure you drink a lot of warm water to sober

Your inability to put your phone down and experience your surroundings makes me hate this century tbqh

I have no idea, but there are frequent Chernobyl threads here -- you might see if any got archived...

How did you get the scholarship, and what sort of program is it? Just curious, I'd love to spend some time in Ukraine.

>>1207794
I've looked through a few but didn't find too much info about the country itself. Lots of info on travel but little on staying. I'm mostly concerned about cultural attitudes with the Russian incursion going on and general corruption, etc. I've heard the cops can just come in and seize everything.

>>1208401
I applied for a Fulbright Research grant. The statistics for it are really in the favor of the applicant. Normally it's hard as shit to get but Ukraine usually has 7-15 awards a year and about just as many applicants. I'll be researching the effects of Chernobyl on the food supply there so I guess they thought it was a good enough reason to accept me.

I mean with HSBC at least; it does seem straight forward withdrawing from ATMs abroad but I don't know how easy this is in random Asian countries. I will probably order to my local all 3 currencies (enough for a couple of weeks hostel accommodation for these 3 countries) and then use my bank card to withdraw decent amounts of money when I need it so the fees don't kill me too much.

>>1207690
Don't know about those countries. With credit its often a fee and % you lose. Debit just a fee. So I get out a couple €100 each time. (SEA tho, works different in every country tho)

>>1207697
Yeah I would like to think I'll be good to go in Hong Kong since I am with the "The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation" after all...

>>1207663
If you're really into art London is worth a day or two. All the good museums are free to the public. Both tates, nat portrait gallery, British museum, v&a, and more.

I'm not familiar with South Germany, but a trip to non-Amsterdam Holland is worth it for the art as well. Amsterdam just needs a day trip.

What's your flexibility?

>>1207669
Oh and look into Flixbus for super cheap travel.

>>1207669
Thank you. I was considering flying into London then stopping somewhere on the way to Cologne. I'm not very flexible with time so I think it would be difficult to go from London to Holland then south unless I spend a day or two at most in each city.

Also, another question for anyone who can answer, I've read recently on another thread that TrustRoots is superior to Couchsurfing. Does anyone have any experience to validate that? Right now I only have an account with the latter and I was thinking to use it for accommodation.

>Denmarkian
>250€
>Vacation days, implying emlpoyment

How the fuck are you this poor?

Also, show me a return flight ticket to a baltic capital from Copenhagen that costs 20 euros.

>>1207646
350 Euro, thats not a budget thats just your transport costs.

>Don't Speak Slav

Not really a con in case of Slovenia. Everybody speaks some English here.

When do you plan on making that move?

>>1207508
Not even sure that I am, I just want to research it. I heard a stories when I was a kid of people taking 200,000$ USD and retiring to Thailand. It would be nice not having to work, wouldn't it? Learning about a new culture and generally being adventuresome.

>>1207509
OP here. I just know that within the next 5-10 years I will have between 100-200k USD. I figure if I learn the language now and the culture it'll make my retirement to that country much easier. I really hate being a wage slave.

+1

hat sort of stuff do you like to do? Where you coming from? (might as well give you a short flight.)

>>1206989
The US is too big to have one definitive city. Interesting places I can think of to go:
>New Orleans
>Washington DC
>New York
>San Francisco
>Seattle
>Austin

But it really depends on what you want to do, how long you want to stay, whether you want to spend all your time in one place or hit multiple different cities, whether you want to stay urban or see some nature too, etc.

>>1206595
Nah

>>1206595
No

>>1206595
Maybe

Any suggestions for romantic spot? Or cool stuff in general?

You don't need Korean for survival, however it's good to at least learn hangul (spoiler: it's phonetic) and shopping level Korean to make your life easier.
What are your interests?

Also make a 'to eat' list.

>>1205035

>>1205788
What exactly is shopping level Korean? I tried to look up some basic phrases but other than the hellos and thank yous it seems difficult to even memorize.
I guess my interests are nightlife, shopping, hanging out with locals if possible (good website for meetups there?). Is it easy to get around with public transport?
And is there any way to avoid eating meat there, I realize it's big part of their culture.

Sorry for the question spam.
