Where are you from?
just choose the one that's most different than where you live

>>1185231
Utrecht has the best techno out of those cities.

It definitely isn't fucking Perth lmao

Looks awesome. I wouldn't change a thing.
Maybe one month is a lot for Jordan? Idk but you could spend two weeks of that in Morocco or someplace.

>>1184813
Yeah Jordan would be my last destination and depending on how much time is left I'll decide whether I want to go to another place or not. Thanks!

Why Germany is fucking? I was actually planning to move there lol

Funny how one mans trash is another mans gold

i assume youre here for thanksgiving. Not much to do normally and even less around then. I guess go to Naples, its pretty nice and a smaller vibe than the hood of tampa. thats all desu

>>1184676
Yes I've heard of Naples, before.
Isn't there some Cuban town or something in Tampa? Florida is pretty big a state though, might be time consuming to drive from town to town.

Might see that aquarium too.

>>1184680

Tampafag here, the place you're thinking of is called YBOR, if you're in Tampa I highly recommend going there. Basically where all the cuban or spanish people settled. Became hood central for awhile but now it's nice again. Good food and area to check out. If you want a sit down experience to the "columbia" restaurant. Buy yourself a cigar.

Aquarium is cool. Bush Gardens is also cool. Haven't been to MOSI in forever but it might be worth checking out but I'm pretty sure it's run down now. Lowry Park zoo is cool but I haven't been in years.

Dunedin is a cool place. St. Pete Beach is also a cool town. Check out Fort de Soto park.

Kuwait. Liberation Day shenanigans, as close to a Saturnalia as they get.

Last time I was there, silly string had been banned because young men were using it to cover the windshields of cars driven by young women so the girls would get out to clear it away, and they could talk to them. Also, apparently, cleaning up a few tons of silly string is not much fun the next day.

>>1184611
I think it's considered more as a liquid form

>>1184611

Just smash down some loperamide or entero-stop

I swear this quote has been painted on the walls of every hostel i've ever stayed at

>>1184261
I don't know why this trite quote annoys me so much, it IS true, and people without a sense of wanderlust don't really understand.

I still cringe when I see it though.

>>1184325

Probably because it's posted 1000 times a day by blonde headed girls on Instagram that have only ever been to party cities.

I guess I should add my main interests are museums, exploring (just by walking) around cities with my camera, and history in general.

Brussels kinda sucked. I mean yeah it has a couple of interesting museums i guess but you will absolutely need to be seeing other cities if you plan on being around for 10 days. 2 days TOPS in brussels, hell even 1 would cut it.

2 days Brussels is fine if you don't want to Rush and also have time to stroll around a bit. Pop to Bruges or Ghent with the train and I would suggest going to Amsterdam m, maybe visit antwerp on the way back to Brussels. That way you've seen a lot of Belgium and the trains are cheap and don't take long.

>>1183616
San Diego fag here, what kind of experience are you looking for? Casual? Typical touristy thing? More ethnic? Sight seeing? Food?

Spend a morning and afternoon walking around Balboa Park, hit up the museums you like, don't miss the Reuben H. Fleet in particular, Natural History and Museum of Man are pretty nice too, same with the Air and Space museum. After that hit the Zoo, it's right next to it. At night go to the Gaslamp. Next day you can visit Torrey Pines.

>>1183616
Don't forget, You must try an In N Out burger!
Order a cheeseburger with fries, its heavenly.

this map is quite dumb

>>1183702
Of course it is, it's aupposed to be from the PoV of Ronnie Raygun, the worst president in history

>>1183884

According to who? Obviously some fucking retard. Its a stupid map.

>>1182831
i read they are outlawing alcohol and stopping all tourism for a year

>>1182836
you read wrong.

>>1182831
Bumping for relevance, I'm going to Thailand in the July-August time frame.

How big of an issue will this be to me, in regards to >>1182836 ?

if I may piggyback off this thread,
I love Morocco. Would I like Egypt? More interested in nature and modern culture, less interested in ruins.

>>1182568
>More interested in nature and modern culture, less interested in ruins.

Well then Egypt may not be the country for you, given the fact that like 99% of its attractions are ancient ruins. I really liked travelling down the Nile in terms of nature, but you can probably get better elsewhere, and the desert in Egypt is less impressive than the sand dunes in Morocco. It's probably the most important country in terms of modern Arab culture though, and the majority of Arab films and music seem to come from Egypt, if that's your kind of thing.

>>1182568
>>1182578
I'm sorry but you are a retard.

There is a cool Oasis you can visit in the Western desert away from the Nile (ie the cozy place where ancient civilizations and modern people live) but it is not safe at all.

You could go to Alexanderia, it's an ancient city but mostly destroyed so only modern stuff there, but then again you like nature, not cities so....

Just stick to Morocco, that's probably what you're looking for I guess.

I'm a huge Iranboo, and I was about to say: fuck the USA, just go to Iran.
But then I read this
>-Silly reason, but i think it would be interesting to be in the US on January 20th when Donald Trump becomes president. Maybe riots, demonstrations... Interesting.
That would be cool. Bonus points if you could be in Washington DC that day.

Okay, now the serious part of my post.
Anyone who wants to visit both of these countries, should go to the USA first. The USA implemented a new law almost a year ago that excludes anyone from the visa waiver programme who has been to Iran, Sudan, Syria and Iraq for tourism. If you go to Iran first, you will have to apply for a visa to go to the US later. So I advice you to go to the US now, and go to Iran when the next opportunity presents itself. Iran is definitely worth seeing.

First Americans have a short attention span, and I think almost all of the people upset by the election will have accepted it by then. I don't think we are going to see that much in the way news worthy protests. It might still be interesting to be in D.C. for the event.

Without more info on what you like to do, it is hard to recommend a place to visit. For history, food, and culture...maybe New Orleans. You can walk around the French Quarter and not need a cab. There might not be enough to keep you interested for two weeks though.

San Fran is good, but the weather will not be pleasant, shouldn't be terrible, but not nice.

Orlando, if you like the tourist things, like parks and such.

Most of the cities in the South, have poor public transportation. You can use cabs, or uber, but there will of course be a cost.

>>1182321
I personally chose Iran over America due to the fact I'm more afraid for Iran's future. Considering how much more politically stable The U.S seems you can always go there in the future, where as though Iran seems stable right now I think it would be more vulnerable to a Syria/Libya situation or even just straight out war with one or more of it's neighbours.

Wrap up 5k and shove it in your bum.
Put 14k in bank
Buy 1k worth of "valuables" to barter with
>later in life you can say you once shit out 5 grand
>the money is safe in bank and in bum
>if you pick the right valuable to invest in you could use it as currency for your entire trip. 1,000$ in valuables could be worth up to 6,000$ to locals, barter your ass off.

>>1181152
>Wrap up 5k and shove it in your bum.
>barter your ass off

But then he'll lose his $5K. I think you haven't thought your cunning plan all the way through.

>>1181152

Examples of said valuables?

Where are the yurop travelers to help

>>1185475
I'm not from CZ but I know they convert RAI at the main station and at the airport (don't know about the actual rate).
Your best bet is a credit card and just suck up that $5 foreign transaction fee. Pull out about the equivalent of $500 in the local currency from a ATM, select the transaction to be booked in Kronen so you get the Visa or Mastercard bank transaction rate instead of the terrible local rate and done.
Also if you can pay by card do it, it's just a 1-2% transaction fee on the actual bank rate, still much cheaper than the exchange booth rates & fees.

>>1185481
I have to tell you, even exchanging paper money at the airport will be cheaper than doing anything in brazil. The crazily high rates they might have there is not even close to what we have here, so it's still worth.

I was just wondering if I Czech Republic actually has these "not usual" currencies there. But thanks for the tip

Also, kinda related to my original question:
Seems like most of the time, Delta has the cheapest connections, which fits me well, since I still have a 100€ voucher with KLM, which should work on Delta, since they fucked up the last time I was in the US.
Since I have two pieces of luggage, the price for first class (where those seem to be included) is only like $50 more than economy + two bags.
Is first on domestic even worth anything on delta? Assuming I'd go to LA, I would have a 2+h flight, and those are bearable, even with shitty airlines, but I wouldn't mind getting a meal and a drink included, which would save me one meal on the ground, so the 1st class extra is only like $25, and at that price point, it seems worth it just for the sake of it.
Or not?

It sounds like Seattle and Portland are the two main choices, since you haven't been there before. Between those two, Seattle is a much better choice; it's a bigger city, and there are more interesting things to do that seem more in line with what you're interested in. Several really good museums, a fair amount of nature in/very near the city, and a better selection of food.

>he visits cities to go to museums
