Probably Japan is the best to live in. But Korea has a better nightlife and cheaper.

If you have fun in China and can cope with all its problems, that's what I'd go for if I were you.
China is a world power with the potential to outgrow the western world, and knowing the language and having experience with the culture is probably going to be handy in the future - job prospects, etc.
Your other choices are way less relevant.

Korea and japan are some of the economic tigers of asia no no where near irrelevant. China also is destroying their country with hard core pollution. I love china but these are facts so I'm asking people who have preferably been to all 3.

>Anyone have experience getting drugs there?

If you have to ask on 4chan, you are going to get fucked over or probably end up buying from an undercover cop.

Enjoy

Don't do drugs, fucking retard

I'm doing the same process at the moment.
Not sure how I will manage, but I think I'm getting close to the 2 check in and 2 carry on size.

I first sold what I could sell. Ate what I could eat. Gave away things to friends that were open to receive stuff. And then I still had 3 times the amount of stuff at least....
Sent home some books that I thought I couldn't repurchase/find online.
Donated all the rest to charity shops.
Clothes, travel gear, make up, electronics, sports equipment, luckily I mostly had cheap ones so I was okay with donating the vast majority of it.
Now I'm contemplating over my 4 season bivvy gear, it's probably going to be one piece of luggage by itself...
Kitchen gear and furniture is also to be donated or sold.

I just asked myself if I really needed all that stuff... But I don't, it's just hoarding.

If you think your stuff is all necessary, get a moving company or ship some stuff via post/UPS/DHL/whatever.

I leave bags wherever. Got 2 in different corners of Yurop, and one in SEA. It is not ideal, especially when people call you and ask what they are to do with your crap, but what you gonna do...

Sometimes I just give away crap. Screw the losses.

I figure I'll just hire a moving company. (Or just let my new employer do that)

the whole island is very touristy, people are very open minded, as it's a huge tourist destination, you can take the public bus usually, on gozo you can basically walk everywhere..

St Julians is lovely

Yo, Swede living in Sliema.
I would go to Malta in April-May, since it will be hot and not too packed with tourists.

Paceville in St. Julians will have raves, stripclubs and cheep booze.

You shall go for a hotel in near Sliema, close to party, food and culture.

Buses go pretty much all the time, and most of the stuff to do is in the Sliema area, so you can pretty much walk where ever you want.

How old are you? What do you like? I can give you some tips

You kinda need a whole day for the Louvre unless you want to skip major sections. Just make sure you book ahead or buy a Paris pass (or whatever they are called) that gets you entry to museums w/o having to wait in line,because you will loose a lot of time otherwise. And it's best to go early in the morning, to be there as soon as it opens, not midday when lines are really long

>>1203734
If you really want to see some Monet, go to Musée Marmottan.
Giverny is nice but honestly, for a first time in Paris, you'll have enough to deal with during only three days. You could spend days in the Louvre, you can also stay there only 3 hours if you've got specific interests.
I'd say keep Giverny for a next trip, when you have more time. It's quite "touristy", you could have bad weather, it's quite far away from Paris and needs some hours (one to go, one to return, more or less 2-3 on site and surroundings). I don't think it's the best use of time for only three days in Paris.

>>1205094
Also, next to the Louvre, at the Musée de l'Orangerie, you've got the Nymphéas by Monet. I think it would be better to visit during the day, because once it's night time, the light isn't really good.
Also, if you happen to be under 25 years old and from European Union, most of Paris' museums are free.

Maybe she just really likes to break the rules when she's playing basketball.

She's basically a "casual" traveler.

It happens everywhere all over the world.

Lots of Japanese people never leave Japan, but still make a trip to Kyoto or Okinawa.

Many Chinese people go to Hong Kong and/or Macau, and call that a trip.

The ultimate vacation spot for many Koreans is Jejudo.

I would even go as far as to say that your friend is more well-traveled than a good number of tourists. Assuming she's American, at least she has a large chunk of land to explore.

Watch 2 or 3 tourist videos of NK and you'll quickly realize it's a waste of time and money.
The same thing every time, you won't be special if you do it.
You aren't in danger at any point.
You don't get any bragging rights.

Any retard can go. Pick something actually interesting instead of le spooky mysterious country that's playing you like a fiddle for them sweet amurrican dorrars to support them.

I've been to DPRK, as have a few other posters on /trv/. It's really a no-brainer. Find a tour company, book a tour with them, go on tour. That's all there is to it. The program is decided for you so you don't have to think about where to go.

Hope you like drinking lots of beer.

im not a developer, but I bet it's pretty hard...

Why would your customer hire you at first world wages, when he can get someone in near him or pay 3rd world wages for an indian?

>>1201649
Because
1) Distance is not relevant on the internet
2) He would have to deal with an Indian with shaky English, questionable skills, a chip on his shoulder, and a non-existent work ethic

OP here. I wasn't necessarily thinking of freelancing. I heard some software companies let you work remotely.

>is it worth using
What kind of worth are you talking about?
I've hosted and stayed though couchsurfing a bunch. It's a great way to experience places and people if you have the right mentality, know how to connect with anyone and aren't just looking for free food and board like a miserable bastard.
If these things are in check, then host a few travelers at your place, get references on the site that will prove your trustworthiness to hosts you want to surf with. Vet their profile by reading them carefully, there's a fair few weirdos about.

Already arranged to meet a south Korean guy for a beer so it seems pretty good

Yes

American

Favorite: Australians, always chill as fuck and fun to hang out with

Lease Favorite: British. Always open the conversation up with some smug comment about America. Their women are abbo tier

>>1197691
Me: Dutch
Fav: German. I never see a group of screaming drunk germans abroad. Can have sanctemonious vibe (hippies, extreme lefties). Thats mostly my fault, I like hanging out with those people.
Worst: French or Spanish. Cannot speak english, not even young people.

Norwegian.

Best: Germans and Dutch, always fun to be around, and the girls are fun, also Finnish, binge drinkers but in a good way

Worst: French, clinically unable to speak about anything other than France and always stick to their own, and Japanese, just super weird people. Once shared a dorm with a Japanese dude in Riga, he was "travering Europe", he sat in his room all day on his computer, and left the next morning. Have met a few obnoxious Brits and Australians as well, though only when traveling in groups of 10 dudes, pub crawling their way around the world. Solo travelers seems to be fine.

Bring a CCW with at least 4mags (you won't be allowed onto your flight without one) and if anyone ask you about it open fire at random and go for the high score. Just mag dump on those fuckers it's expected and everyone does that.
You might want to bring a privacy shield so you can jerk off to loli animu durng take off and land no fucks given. You're good to just fap away after take off, it's your right and duty.
Your medication is a jewish trick, don't fall for it. If you experience anxiety during the flight just use your CCW and put a round into your temple to calm you down.

Enjoy your flight.

Nice one. I about died laughing at this one. But I was being legit serious.

Break the feedback loop that causes panic attacks and they will stop happening. Breathing exercises and mindfulness work for that.

What sort of fucked up Central pub are you at. Try going to the local themed ones and not the ones that are flopped all over on the internet. Also, Go fuck yourself. Nearly every bar or pub in Canada has sport TV's. We don't dress up to go drink, I'm nearly convinced this is bait.

have you been to a legion?

>in Canada for 2 weeks for holiday

why?

>>1205696
Can you at least give us a fucking itinerary? None of the places except Spain will have any decent mountains (Sierra Nevadas).

France and also Italia is really great to see Alps. Switzerland is a nice place but a little bit expensive yeah.
