You picked the 2 worst possible places. There will not be anywhere you can rent those in those two places.

There are ranges in Vegas and also in Texas where you can rent fully auto weapons, not sure if they have vintage ones

To be honest mate, your best bet is to ask /k/ .

They'll never stop if its a backpack that isn't obviously one of white hippy my whole life in the bag backpacks.

The problem becomes when it actually doesn't fit in the overhead bin. Then you're force to put in front of your feet and have a shitty trip

>>1166271
Shittier the airlines, the more strict they'll be.

If you're flying first class with Qantas I'm sure they'd let you take 4, 20kg bags - even though I'm sure that's not what the rules say.

Wizz Air however has VERY strict rules about what's allowed to carry onboard and they enforce it like there's no tomorrow.

My general view is... shittier the airline stricter it gets.

>>1166275
Well i only ever fly the cheapest possible so i guess that applies to me

Probably not. $2700 is a halfway decent amount and so long as you can prove your fiance/family are supporting you for at least a while you'll be fine. You might get stopped and held for a few hours while they check it out though.

>>1166203
Yeah what this anon said. Just as long as you got the correct visa and you can prove everything you'll be fine. Just out of curiosity, whereabouts does your fiance live?

>>1166222
this is the fiance

he will stay with me at my big house

I personally enjoyed the Rockies, but during winter the middle plains have a certain charm to them

>>1166128
Are you aware that it's the second biggest country on earth?
We're gonna need more details.

>>1166146

Yes I'm fully aware. My bad.

Basically we will probably be landing in Toronto. From there maybe go and see the city and go to a nice restaurant to have lunch/dinner. After that then I guess we'll head out to see Niagara Falls? I know it's overrated, but that's like going to Florida and not going to Disney lol

>>1166037
Use any airline search engine and you will find one. Its not fucking rocket science.

Some options are mentioned in the sticky.

Have a good trip.

9 months are enough for a long walk to thailand from wherever you live, can't be any cheaper.
Take care and be safe

Bump, I'm traveling to GZ next year and would like to know what's good? Drinking, clubbing?, history and culture related stuff

>>1165852
In Golden week? If you can't get out of China then go somewhere for the nightlife.

Anywhere touristy is probably going to be packed.

Semi related to this thread: I have a 18 hour layover (purposefully chosen so I could spend the night)
I get in at 5pm and leave at 11am. How long should I expect it to take me to go from Tianhe to the airport by taxi?

It's an Islamic shithole

Really tasty food for an Islamic shithole. Watch The Act of Killing, anon.

But if you want tasty Indonesian food, go to the Nederlands.

>>1165742
>If you want tasty indonesian food go to the netherlands

Explain this.

Fly to Paris, from Australia, for one week? for what purpose?

I've had friends have a lot of success hitching in the outback, truckers mostly pick people up. But what are you? two dudes? might have less luck.

Why don't you just fly to SE Asia somewhere?

>>1165536
week in melb + minimum 3-4 days getting there = 10 days. Buying food and not paying anything else would be ~$30/day, so you'll need $300 for Aus, plus at least an extra $100 for expenses along the way. Unlikely you will get the whole 10 days without paying for accommodation, so I'd allow at least an extra $100 for that.

Flight to Paris cheapest seems around $1000 return which seems to cheap to be real. You will spend ~$100 in getting to the airport, eating there, and getting from the airport to your accommodation.

Assuming it actually is legit then that leaves you with $1100 for a week. So yeah it could work, provided you were careful to spend as little money as possible in Aus. I'm still a bit incredulous about the flight price (I used skyscanner) I'd expect $1500 to be more realistic, and in that case having only $600 for a week in paris is not that much to have up your sleeve, but if you have some extra cash in reserve for emergencies it would be alright.

>>1165562
to add: imo it seems to much to be trying to do the melbourne and paris in the same trip, it would make more sense to do one or the other. If you insist on doing both then do Paris first, then fly back to melbourne, that way you can adjust the length of that stay to suit your remaining money, and if something goes wrong you're still in your home country.

I don't think there are any roads between Panama and Colombia. You'll have to take a ferry.

Also driving through the mountains in latin america is dangerous.Some of those roads are crazy.

>>1165431
Don't take such a nice and expensive van like that through central america or northern south america.
You gonna get killed like that.

Get an old but reliable ford transit or merc sprinter.
It's worth spending extra for a used mercedes with a good service history btw, if it's been serviced at a mercedes you get free breakdown cover and a courtesy vehicle/time in hotels and shit while it gets repaired.

>>1165463(self)
admittedly not in much of south america, but it will cover north america and may still be of some use near the southern cone

>>1165371
Cambodia is what Thailand was 20 years ago just quite a bit poorer and not as nice in terms of scenery in the centre. Once you head north or towards the coast it gets really pretty.

>>1165374
Heard myanmar is really where it's at for SEA right now, in terms of being almost untouched by the tourism industry

>gets annoyed when the natural environment of a country is changed rapidly

>criticizes other for getting annoyed when the demographics of a country is changed rapidly

Liberal doublethink everybody.

I got a feeling we had a talk about this earlier today.

Honestly, I think it comes from information oversaturation due to the Internet and the entertainment industry. Everyone is expected to have some sort of "complete" world view in order to not appear ignorant in our globalised world. Given that most people are ignorant who likes to jump to the easiest conclusion, they expect the country they travel to to fit within the constructed image of the country that they've made from preconceptions based on Hollywood movies and vain Wikipedia articles. Take the human nature element into consideration, that most people have a hard time changing their otherwise solidified conceptions of something, and you have tourists who walk around completely oblivious, sacking in tourist traps and ignoring all the nuances, so they can go home with a feeling of "yep, I was right", and then brag to their friend about how cultural they are and how they "really got a feel of such an exotic culture!"

There will be two types of reactions to this thread:

1 - SJW autistic freakout
>OMG who are you to say why others should travel.
>You're an elitist.
>Everyone travels for different reasons so if someone wants to only party and smoke weed that's their choice.

2 - smug agreement from real travelers™
>Everybody is stupid except me.
>Plebs should have to pass an IQ test to be granted a passport.
>I myself am a member of Mensa and have an IQ of 160.
>I learn the local language to fluency before I travel and acquaint myself with cultural nuances to avoid faux pas.

This board is cancer.

>>1165365
Omg how can you judge people for partying and having fun. Never heard the song " girls just wanna have fun? " , it's a lifestyle for me and many of my friends.

I don't go to foreign countries to look at 2000 year old pottery or immerse myself in the " history and culture " ( only creeps do that ). When I travel I just want to get fucked up with my girlfriends!! The cute tourist boys are just a plus ;) :)

Glasgow>Edinburgh

>>1165346
I will probably go through both if I go to the Cairngorms, but what's cool about Glasgow?

Try this -- see how easy it is to carry them at home. They will be the same bags when you arrive in Eastern Europe, and exactly as easy to carry there as at home!

I'm a fan of bacpacks, but if you want to carry a suitcase I expect your arms to be tired quickly!

E. Europe is big and doesn't cater to luxury a lot.

Where are you going, for how long?

People tend to overpack.

He shills for Hillary on his Facebook page. I was heartbroken.

I should add that what I'm really looking for in similar experiences is a work for accomodation hostel with beautiful scenery and great co-workers that doesn't require you to work too many hours a day.

>>1165117
Sounds neat. So you just did kitchenhand type work?

I'm a 18 year old gal traveling in Europe right now and my trip ends at the beginning of November. I think I'll head to Australia next, to Noosa! Cheers, thanks for the info.
