>New Mexico
Hilly, hope your car is ready. South New Mexico you should fill up every major town possible same with Arizona

>Arizona
The route you are taking is a lot like mexico, The route you're going is flat and not a lot inbetween. Tuscon is pretty okay but stay away from the south side

I live in arizona drove both states and been to LA/SF. That route is a whole lot of nothing

>>1194620
On I-8, get gas in Yuma, AZ before you cross into CA as its much more expensive there.

Just across the CA border is a big dune field which is neat. You can see the Mexican border fence from the highway in places, just a mile or two away.

>>1194705
Also I-8 is going to be fucking busy in the mountains between San Diego and El Centro this time of year. There is a border patrol checkpoint that backs up traffic even on non-busy days so good luck.

>>1194566
Very unlikely, especially if you are going to stay in anything established like a 4 star hotel.

First time to Australia, should try and visit Sydney and Melbourne, that's where most of the culture and sightseeing is to be done.

Adelaide is nice and chill but can't say much for any night life.

>>1194566
Make an effort to visit Melbourne you wont regret it. Adelaide isn't that great in comparison.

You are ignorant as the day is long.

Do you really think that there's spiders everywhere? You'll be lucky if you see one in the cities

>>1194562

Cartels.

This

But Morelia is a pretty cool city. Really cool old looking architecture and food. But I was only there for two days when I was 17 so I wasn't able to do or see much

>>1194562
Morélia is indeed a very beautiful city.
The state is also home to Tzintzuntzan near lake Pátzcuaro, the city of the same name is beautiful too.

Lol Enjoy getting deported at the border at your own cost

>Any opinions or experiences in working in Australia without a working visa?

It's possible, but not very enjoyable. Even exploited restaurant workers being paid under the table in cash are usually on legit student visas but working longer hours than their visa technically allows for. So you will be competing against university students from China, India or Bangladesh willing to sleep three to a room in order to get ahead.

Or, you could stop being a whining baby, pay for the visa (which you will make back in a week working legitimately) and pay tax like people with real jobs do.

What's the best location to pick up grils? I am not delusional, I don't expect them to jump on my dick as soon as they see me but are clubs a good start?

Locations like WOMB? Or will they just have 95% males everywhere?

I'll repost from the last thread I suppose.

Guys, I'm going to Shikoku but I'm getting confused.
Google lists a shuttle bus to Sakaide from the Takamatsu airport as a viable route, but the website only lists a shuttle bus to Takamatsu station and Kotohira, and I'm not sure who to believe.
Ideally, if there's a direct route to Sakaide, that would be the best option for me.

Is the snow good right now? Heading to hakuba tomorrow and am getting mixed messages from locals

>Australia is on here mainly because I know a trap who lives there, easy 8/10, sucks cock etc., just iffy about losing my virginity to a trap since I'm straight.
Whether this was your intention or not, this thread will go off the rails.

>>1194426
Go to Nam, theres so much to do here like:

Eating awkwardly with your girlfriends parents who know fuck all English
Going to endless cafes
Visting shitty museums
Trying to ninja fuck your girlfriend at a hostel Secretly meeting up with village girls and Koreans

At least thats my experience so far, still have another month to go.

>since I'm straight

That's not how it works you little shit

>>1193612
In your check-in luggage (pack it well, wrap it in two plastic bags at least, and put it in the middle of your clothes), or as duty-free.

Oh wait, you shouldn't drink in the US in the first place. Go crazy in Austri, though.

If you buy a bottle or two at the duty free, I'm sure it will be fine

>>1193612
The US customs website says that you can include alcohol in your duty-free allowance if you are 21 or older, which implies that if you are only 18, you will need to pay duty on any alcohol you bring back. It also says that it will enforce state restrictions on importing alcohol.

>>1193544
memes are that you will certainly get laid if you are white.

>>1193610
Well, the memes were right about Trump, I suppose.

Good lord I did Taiwan in the summer and that is the most physically uncomfortable I have ever been. Mainland China is the Arctic compared to that. And because of the heat and the humidity the bugs (which are everywhere) get HUGE.

Pic related, Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial in Taipei. What you can't tell is that it's like 40 degrees C and 100% humidity in this shot, and it's like 10 pm

For daypacks, north face or osprey

For backpacks, kelty

>>1193096
can you tell us why you picked thpse brands as well, please.

I'm looking for a backpack

I bought a no name brand eastern European 55 Liter backpack for 25€ in a random store and it lasted me 4 years so far without any problems

I think it's cool to "be there" and only mention my layovers in passing during conversation; but in general they don't count.

I usually read stuff on my itouch

>>1192752
If the visa process isnt too much for a short stay I usually try to get a stopover and make a day trip of it.

I love layovers, it's my favorite part of travelling. Just plan ahead. It's a great way to see countries you might otherwise never visit. My 2 favorites were Istanbul, and Dubai

I definitely want to go back to Istanbul

Dubai was okay, but it just felt like a shitty Las Vegas, it was cool seeing the mall, but it was 110 degrees with 100% humidity. Needless to say I smelled like shit on my flight.

>>1192728
Perhaps only if you speak great Spanish and stay the fuck out of Caracas

>>1192728
Only if speak spanish fluently, you can pay for a armed escort and can bribe the customs that you can bring in all the daily goods you need for your trip.

>people get shot for a pack of rice or a box of baby formula casually, nobody cares
>even the beach resort hotels offer you a armed escort from the airport to the hotel and back and advice you to bring your own toilet paper, towels and diverse other goods of daily use...
>Most of those goods are banned from "importing" so expect that the customs will sack half or all of it for shit and giggles

Great people, great locations but atm I put it on the same level as South Sudan or Somalia. You can go there but it's not a good idea.

Well they just closed to boarder to colombia

>Is a week enough time for a rough itinerary of Tel Aviv -> Jerusalem -> Jericho -> Dead Sea and back?
I would say barely. Along the Mediterranean coast there is an awesome railroad that makes travelling very easy, but Jerusalem and Dead Sea are deep inland, compared to the country's size. Also you can get fucked if you forget about shabbat because all transport stops. Yes all transport. You might be able to find and pay through the nose for a taxi, but the rule of thumb is, from Friday night to Saturday night you stay where it caught you.
>Any particular museums, cultural and nature hotspots you would recommend in those areas or nearby?
Tel Aviv is a very young city, there is a nightlife scene that I personally am not familiar with, again, keep in mind that Western Friday night in Israel happens on Thursday, and the equivalent of Saturday night is on Friday. Youth in Tel Aviv don't give a fuck about abiding by the religious constraints and get turnt on Friday nights.
My favorite museum in Tel Aviv is Independence Hall, it's small and they tell you the story of the country, its origins in its modern state and the events leading up to and resulting in their declaration of independence in 1947.
Other museums didn't strike me as impressive.
A must-visit is Jaffa, the city's old southern part. It's being destroyed by highrise buildings being built nearby, so see it before it's too late. There are historic points, like where Napoleon attacked the harbor, and the old lighthouse, and barely visible ruins of the old harbor in the sea.
Also Yaffo/Jaffa has the best flea market in Israel called Shuk Ha'Pishpeshim, you can easily spend half a day there looking at all the old and new stuff.
In Jerusalem Yad-Vashem is an absolute necessity. Tourists might overlook it because of all the pressure to see the religious parts of the city, but I urge you to make some time in your schedule for it. (1/2)

Of course you should see the Old City, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. I would also recommend the catholic Church of All Nations on the Mount of Olives.
Be careful when going to the Old City/Church of the Holy Sepulchre and check the dates of Easter for all different Christian branches because being there during a mass pilgrimage sucks.
My favorite places in the country are out of the way you mrention. On Taglit, my favorite part of the trip was going to a bedouin camp in the desert near Masada for a dinner and half a night of sleep. The night sky in the desert, if you walk away from the camp a bit, is so full of stars.
Before sunrise, we were taken by bus to Masada to start going up so that we could see the sun rise from the top of the mountain. That view is breathtaking, and the fortress is cool too. No idea if it's available to individual tourists, just advising you to look into it. After that we went to the Dead Sea.
Another good one is Caesarea, it's up north from Tel Aviv and it's hard to get there. But there are ruins of Roman hippodrome and Herod's palace, and a working amphitheater. The now ruined city changed many hands in thousands of years.
>What was your experience of the climate in April?
It's the best time to travel around and not go mad from the heat, but stay hydrated anyway. All tap water is drinkable unless stated otherwise, even if it's not very tasty. The Mediterranean is generally too cold to swim in though. The Dead Sea is probably fine.
>What was your experience of entering/exiting Ben Gurion?
There is a train station attached to the airport. If you arrive on shabbat you're fucked and need to take a taxi.
If you mean passport control, it takes a long time, especially when leaving the country. They will look through all your cabin luggage (in your presence) and most likely open your suitcase to check it (without you), esp. if you look vaguely Arabic. Get there at least 3 hours before the flight, better 4make it 4.

>>1192464
>Is a week enough time for a rough itinerary of Tel Aviv -> Jerusalem -> Jericho -> Dead Sea and back?
Generally yes. That doesn't mean you'll get to see everything though, you can easily spend over a week in Jerusalem itself.
>What was your experience of entering/exiting Ben Gurion, and crossing between Israel/the West Bank?
Both without any problems. Ben Gurion I got asked a couple questions (purpose of visit, how long, etc), the West Bank nobody gave a shit. At all. IIRC at the Hebron checkpoint they didn't even bother with the passport, a pale face was enough.
