I envy them
Off to Oslo on Thursday night, will be staying until Monday afternoon. Can anyone recommend some things to do other than viking ship museum? Going to see two metal shows on saturday and sunday night, any good metal bars/shops and general interesting history/sightseeing/nature?

Im not too familiar in Oslo but im norwegian but from what iv heard of bars (if they still are open): Kniven, Elm Street (maybe closed), Cafe Fiasko.
For other activities i guess the Wergelands park can be a nice place, maybe more during summer but google it and have a look.
Another common turist attraction is the kings castle in the end of the main walking street in centrum area, Karl Johans gate (street).
>>
Rock in, Kniven are good rock/metal bars. Neseblod records in Schweigaardsgate is a historically interesting metal shop. The folk museum (folkemuseet) might be interesting, Vigeland park is obligatory place to visit. Stay aaway from Karl johans gate (Except rock in in a side street) rather go to youngstorget/torggata and Grunerlokka.
>>
>>1181934
Theres some weird black metal tourist sites, but I dont know much about that. Other than that, I fucking love Oslo, one of the greatest cities.
Check out the Vigeland park, Tjuvholmen for modern architecture, Vulkan food hall, Crow Bar brewery in Torggata, Tim Wendelboe for coffee, Torggata for kebabs etc.
Anything else youre interested in let me know

Is it a 99 year lease?

It's a beautiful life, never been to Guadalajara but it's sypposed to be a lot like here (Monterrey), carefree people, close family abd friends, amazing food, shittons to do around the country, and if you know where to stay out of you'll hardly run into crime.
I imagine crime is a lot like in the US actually, unless you go to border territory.
>>
>>1181902
Oh and with 15k you can party all over the country for like a month, or live well off in Gdj for a year.

I am a male-to-female transgender person and I would for somebody to relocate somewhere in the world with my soon to be husband where we could live in isolation yet not completely cut off from civilization. Our dream is to find somewhere we could live in peace and find peace within nature. We want to grow our own food and supply our own electricity. We want to form our own band or tribe as we have a few close personal friends interested in joining us.
Where would a good place be to accomplish this? I heard Canada somewhere between the frozen Inuit lands and the metropolitan areas were ripe for this, but is that really the case? Should we be looking for our peaceful isolated existence elsewhere?
Now sure if /trv/ is the right board for this, but I may try /int/ later.

Also, I'm sorry for bring my gender identity into this, but I figured I might as well as this may become a factor in where we relocate to. I heard Canada doesn't really have that much of a problem, but nothing is set in stone yet according to location. In the first line of my initial post I meant to say my soon to be husband and I. The word arrangement got a little messed up.

Come for the advice and insights, stay for the put-downs and memes. It's that time again, kids. ESL General.
Feel free to ask about any country. I have experience with Korea and I'm now in Japan with an above average job, so feel free to ask me anything.

I'm thinking of falling for the meme. I'm worried about how permanent of a lifestyle it is. It seems most people just do it for a couple years.
A few more direct questions.
1.is it possible to earn a degree online while teaching abroad(say in accounting or something)
2.I know some countries require a degree to teach, does it have to be a teaching degree?
3.does anyone have experience with India, Any of the Gulf states, Russia, or the Maghreb
>>
>>1174657
>1.is it possible to earn a degree online while teaching abroad(say in accounting or something)
Well in theory, yes of course, why wouldn't it be... But you'll have to pay fees and study
>2.I know some countries require a degree to teach, does it have to be a teaching degree?
No, definitely not. A teaching degree is an advantage in places where they actually give a fuck but usually not a requirement. As in most industries experience is the most valuable thing.
>3.does anyone have experience with India, Any of the Gulf states, Russia, or the Maghreb
I don't. Some girls I went to university with went to the UAE; their facebook activity suggests that they are still alive and reasonably well. I think you would earn very little money in most places in India and the Maghreb however.
>>
Can I get into the EPIK programme if I'm not from an English-speaking country? I will have an MA in English language and Culture from a great uni and a CELTA degree by the time I'm done with everything though.
Any tips?
Also, is ESL in Malaysia any good? I'm just orientating myself atm.
Don't usually see one of these so I thought I'd make one.
So in two weeks, I'll be traveling to Uttar Pradesh, namely Delhi then to Saharanpur and probably other touristy places in the golden triangle.
What am I to expect? Reasons for traveling is my name was a half anglo from Saharanpur and by the google images, it looks like a shithole. I'm very much into culture so I dislike gentrified places, so what actions should I take to ensure safety?
Traveling with 3 women in their 40s - 50s, 3 men and my gf (in our 20s).
Questions:
>How to ensure safety
>Keep items safe tips
>Is street food safe to eat (i have IBS)
>Are toulets available or are they squat holes like you get in Morocco
>useful lingo/phrases
>appropriate dress wear
>recommended things to see/do

Hey /trv/,
I live in the United States and I'm not in the Christmas spirit this year. I wish to take a trip over Christmas and New Years instead of being at home listening to a dated Mariah Carey song. Has anyone experienced traveling over Christmas? Where may I go?

Depends on budget
Best place to go for Christmas is Europe obviously, German towns prolly do it the best
I went to the Alsace region in France and that gave me a warm feeling all throughout my trip
But you're budget needs to be bigger

>>1183559
>Depends on budget
I have ~$15,000 without strings attached atm.
>German towns prolly do it the best
I've been to Germany before and would love to return especially to Berlin and Dresden.
>>
>>1183549
That's a mighty budget. I just did the grand European tour and thought Prague would be a really beautiful city to spend Christmas in.
Have you seen Queen Latifah's Last Holiday? Yeah. I recommend you watch it and go all Queen Latifah.

So I'm probably gonna leave the US next spring and just waddle around Europe(Germany, France, idk) and maybe Turkey (Istanbul) or Egypt (Cairo). I have very little money and have no idea what I'm doing. Has anyone here done anything like this?

Yeah, I've been traveling before.
Do you have a question or anything?
>>
>>1183186
I did it in Peru then had to go back home after a month because I also had very little money. The more you save, the longer you can travel and you have plenty of time to save 1-2k at least. Keep in mind where you're planning to go is more expensive than Peru (not sure about costs in Cairo desu)
>>
>>1183213
How do I effectively save money while traveling? Can I couch surf? Can I find random jobs in random cities so I can get some money?

Some boring airport questions coming up.
So arriving at Manchester ( UK ) airport on a weekday lunchtime in January by train. With 72 minutes before boarding for a European flight with Norwegian and only hand luggage.
I've never waited more than 30 minutes through security at any airport, but I've never been by Manchester before. So my questions are in two parts.
Norwegian say that the boarding gate closes 30 minutes(!!!) before departure, which to me is rather extreme. Can I assume this is not actually the case and that I could quite easily roll up 15 minutes before departure and just join the end of the queue? How strictly is this enforced? Will they give me a last call if I am held up for whatever reason?
Security shouldn't take more than 30 minutes at this time of year and day right? Outside of school holiday season???
And finally. Norwegian say that you can do online checkin and they'll send you an SMS with your boarding pass 2 hours before departure which you can use on your phone, and that it's not possible to do like Ryanair and print your boarding pass out at home ( which would be much easier ). Has anybody used this system, does it work? Do I need mobile data for this?
Anyway what are my chances, unnecessarily long and stupid post. Sorry.

You've got nothing to worry about.
Security will take 15 mins if its busy, less than 5 if it's not.
I've never used the phone pass myself but I have seen plenty of people scanning their phones to get through the gates so I assume you will be okay there.
I use Manchester airport 20+ times a year.
>>
yeah i fly out of manchester whenever i go abroad and its nearly always a breeze, and that's usually in holiday season.
i flew with norwegian recently and they sent me my boarding pass via email straight after the online check in, but if you're using a phone pass then yeah im sure that will work, manchester is a pretty modern airport
>>
>Norwegian say that the boarding gate closes 30 minutes(!!!) before departure
Standard procedure. If everything goes by the books, this will be true, so don't doodle with it.
>Norwegian say that you can do online checkin and they'll send you an SMS with your boarding pass 2 hours before departure which you can use on your phone, and that it's not possible to do like Ryanair and print your boarding pass out at home ( which would be much easier ). Has anybody used this system, does it work? Do I need mobile data for this?
This is what I don't understand. Do they specifically mention SMS? If so, you need just regular GSM services, not mobile data, which is internet, SMS doesn't use internet.
The way Ryan and Wizzair (and I assume other airlines too) do mobile check in is that they just have an app that displays a QR code which is your boarding pass. You can print it for redundancy's sake, but I usually just shove my phone screen into the scanner and it works. This will not work with an SMS though, as SMS is strictly text.

I'm graduating from university next semester, and having spent my entire life in Wisconsin (I've traveled abroad considerably, but have only ever lived here) I'd like to move somewhere else in the US or Canada for a few years. I love WI and could potentially see myself returning, but I need to get out for a while. Here is some criteria:
>Snow-filled winters
I love the winter, and the snow especially. I also enjoy autumn and having all four seasons.
>Close proximity to mountains/foothills and forest
I enjoy hiking and generally being /out/ along with the natural beauty of these things
>Somewhat rural
Emphasis on the somewhat. I've spent the past 5 years in Milwaukee, and have grown accustomed to the offerings of a larger city, however I'm from a smaller town and appreciate the safety that they offer. I want to be able to walk home drunk at 2 am without getting a gun pulled on me or jumped. At the same time, I want a place that has cafés, bookstores, an art scene and the like.
>Liberal population
I'm pretty middle of the road politcally, but lean more towards the left. I despise SJWs as much as anyone here, but would rather live with them than some backwoods rednecks. This is partly due to the cultrual offerings listed above being more prevelant in liberal areas, and partly to finding cool people around my age (20s).
>Jobs/COL
I double majored in Philosophy and Literature, so I likely won't be making a ton of money and thus need a relatively low COL. I'm looking towards going into editing/publishing or technical writing, so a place close to where these sorts of jobs are not unheard of would be nice.
Right now, I'm thinking of places like Portland, ME; Vermont (open to city suggestions, I only know of Burlington which seems perfect but maybe too college-centered); Somewhere in CO (maybe too expensive), WA or OR (doesn't have the winters I want).
Looking for more info on these places and reccs for more. Thanks.

Wyoming is also on my list, but I feel as though I'd have a hard time finding a town that offers the cultural amenities I'm looking for.
>>
You can't afford to live in Portland unless you have a trust fund. It is a cool city with an easy vibe and many breweries but it's barely a Maine city. Really all it does functionally is propose liberal referendums that the state shoots down. Occasionally talk of splitting from the rest of the state.

Free if you walk, swim and steal food.
Numbeo tells me it's $1.19 for 1 liter of milk in Buenos Airse.
So $1.19, granted you walk, swim, buy 1 liter of milk and everything else. Jail will probably be free, too.
