Sure you can. I was there last year and a hand full of people on this board have been there. The down side is that you have to go there with a tour agency but imo that's part of the experience.

I think the easiest way is to use one of the tour agencies based in Beijing and go with them. Some countries have friendship organization that arranges trips so that is also an option. Personally I went there with Young Pioneer Tours (partly because they were the cheapest option), I thought they were good but have in mind that they're the company that the American that's now imprisoned in NK used.

Thats awesome that you went there. What was it like ? What were some of the best sight seeing places ? How were the tourguides, do they engage with you?

Also how was the trip there in general ? Was it worth it? Im pretty sure it mustve been awesome. Oh also, was there any sort of propaganda with kim jong un goin on?

Bay View is the "artsy" neighborhood full of late 20s white people. It's on the south side along the lake. I highly recommend eating at Vanguard, pizza at Classic Slice, and getting an old fashioned at Boone & Crockett. South Shore Park is beautiful any time of year.

The East Side is a college kid neighborhood with a strip of douchey bars on North Ave. If that's your scene you may also enjoy Water Street which has a similar strip.

The art museum downtown was built by a legendary architect and is considered by many to be the gem of the city.

Go to a Brewers game if you can, the tailgating is great for a baseball game.

Avoid the north side, it's all nogs.

Thanks /pol/, always a pleasure.

>>1161625
Thanks mate, I think my friend and I plan to go to Bay View the first night I'm in so I'll be sure to look for the places mentioned.

Anyone know if the Miller Brewery tour is worth a go? I like all kinds of beer and not too snobby about it.

The only good parts of AC are Borgota and Tropicana. No need to visit anywhere else in the city.

great to go to if you stay at one of the nicer hotels just do everything in and around the boardwalk and those outlets by the entrance to the city. Not much else outside of the beach area

Biloxi vs AC?

It doesn't matter, do one, then next time do the other. From DC, it's just not that big a deal.

That said, if you have something terminal and can only do one before you die, I'd say Colorado -- nothing against the NE, but it will be more similar to what you will have in VA mountains and stuff.

Colorado is lovely, especially if you're an outdoors man. I would recommend going to Vail, Aspen, Boulder,Breckenridge, and Denver (but be aware of what surrounds it). I would avoid Aurora though. You should have a fun time if you chose Colorado.

Sorry to jack your thread but I could use some local knowledge (first timer landing in October):

- is the metro system worth using or is it easier to jump in uber/taxi
-how long from a hotel near Union Station to Ronald Reagan airport
-where can I go in DC/nearby VA/MD to shoot guns ie a range
-your favourite place to have a beer / people watch (I am travelling alone) or meet women
-is going up the Washington Monument worth it?

Many thanks in advance.

I hear ya, the feeling I had during my first real travel experience is one that I have been chasing ever since.. For me it was southern Italy and Greece... that was a long time ago...
The closest Ive been to reliving that enjoyment was Colombia... But I think its more the people you meet and interact with than the country itself... Its all circumstance.

Just to know: where is the location that is depicted in your picture OP?

>>1160662
Google image search works well in this case. It's Monte Fitz Roy, on the Chile-Argentina border.

Been to Prague for a couple days once, it's real nice (especially when the weather plays along).

Absolutely hit up the old town square, it's pretty hard to avoid anyways.

>>1159766
English will be enough, plenty of people speaking it on some level, in touristic areas no problem at all.

Sites depends on what you like, i suppose basics are historical sites like Charles bridge, castle, cathedral and stuff.

A secluded Hindu temple I visited with some friends in India.

Not a massive awe-inspiring temple, but there's a humble beauty about it.

For what it's worth.

Gonna be safe in those cities. No kangaroo steaks though

If you can read cyrillic and can speak Russian, you are golden much better off than most tourists there. Use common sense and you will be fine.

The first few ones on this list I guess.

This was pretty spectacular too.

I was there in May and the more central areas were absolutely fucking packed and extremely touristy, pretty depressing to be honest. St Mark's square was also under half a foot of water some times during the day.

The only unconventional place I can recommend is the westernmost part of the city, which I think is a residential area. Very much an old italian feel and almost no people there at all.

It IS Venice, you know. That's part of being there.

OP, there is (or was) a fairly high-tourist-factor "play" about Vneice just off St Marks Square, it is pretty cheesy but if you or somebody you are traveling with does not know much about the history of Venice, it would be worth seeing early in your stay -- I know fuck-all about the history, and knowing even a little of it made the time there much more enjoyable.

America were great at cucking you, alright.

Americans are brazen, self-congratulatory, hypocritical people only interested in advancing their own self. This is how America was born, this is how America thrives.

No other such nation in modern history exists, and for good reason.

> Athens

Just great to walk around. Only 40mins tram and you're on the beach. The Acropolis and the other small hill right next to it are great

> Bratislava
Loved the atmosphere and clash between architecture (on one side of road you had a nice blue church, right on the other side an abandoned commie hospital). Everything is within walking distance. There's a cute little icecreamshop called Koune which has one of the top 10 best icecream in Europe.
Loved the people, everyone was friendly, especially the tour guide and the people at Blues Hostel.
Going out in the basement of the university was one of the top moments. I got ripped of for taxi to get back to the city though (15 euros instead of 5 but it was the only cab around at 5AM)

Such a shame that commies destroyed part of the old city

Paris for sure.

Even without the immigrants and whatnot, i think people just get way too delusional with expectations.

Paris is a damn fine place.

Recent played bioshock infinite burual at sea part 2. If people expect paris to be like the start of that theyre retarded
