Me and my girl gonna spend a week in Rome.Any advice about things to see or other cities to visit?
Except Vatican City and the main tourist attreaction what else is essential to see and experience about?
>>1287020
Rome is a shithole, if you don't get a hard on when thinking about Roman history and 3rd world shitholes then go see the vatican and get the fuck out ASAP.
There's too many good Italian cities to waste it on an overly touristy shithole that has trash everywhere.
Treat yourself and go to a place like Assisi, or the Amalfi coast. And if you like touristy spots, check out Venice.
Rome is an Indian tier city, avoid it at all costs
Rome is trash-tier, there's nothing worth visiting.
Rome is amazing tier.
Must see?
Must avoid?
Money advice?
What is the creepiest /x/ spooky type thing I should see? Altas Obscura and the dark tourist sites are scanty for Venice. Surely they have a creepy cemetery or execution site I can play ghost hunter at (I don't believe in ghosts I just like seeing dramatic sites).
Thanks!
>>1286421
There is a palace called Ca Dario, it is not open to public but it's creepy, you can google it, it's cursed.
The other super creepy thing is the Ospedale al mare, in the Lido island. It's an old but not so old (my bf was born there) hospital, you can explore it and find some junkies or squatters.
About the cemetery, it's an entire island, the one of San Michele. It's pretty big to be a cemetery.
I'm not into /x/ shit so that's all I have to say.
Avoid eating where you don't see Venetians eating, avoid pizza and ethnic restaurants, avoid eating in places that have "buttadentro" outside the restaurant. Please don't come to Venice asking for pizza. Please.
This is my horror.
And about the ghost hunting, spooky things, the city herself is dying, eaten alive by tourist vultures.
She is the ghost.
please don't come
>>1286746
>please don't come
oh. ok.
but thanks for the advice. If I do come I will be a quiet and inoffensive tourist, I promise.

Looking at going to Hong Kong, was inspired after a thread on here a few months ago. I've done some research and I want to stay on Hong Kong island itself, hostels are like $25 per night for a dorm in wan chai, is it worth paying $80 per night for a room in a cheaper but fairly nice hotel room closer to LKF ? How easy is it to find cocaine, and do you guys have a rough price ? I've read some articles online about the price but I was wondering if any of you are there or have been recently and know the price.
Is one week too long ? I suppose I could do a day trip to Macau. What are some must do things during the day ?
I've been to HK a few times and most recently got back yesterday, my biggest suggestion is stay on Kowloon side not HK island.
- It is cheaper
- More of the actual local food and better shopping options
- Central/Wan Chai/Admiralty are ok but it's basically the same as any western city, if you want to see HK then spend your time on the Kowloon side.
If you are going for business stay on the island but otherwise there is no point, MTR will take you anywhere you need to go within 15 minutes so being located on the island isn't as important as it might seem.
A week is not too long, maybe I am easily entertained but I usually spend a week and a half per trip to HK and never find myself without anything to do.
Macau and Shenzhen (visa required) are easy options if you do get bored.
What are your interests and I'll see if I have any suggestions
>>1285662
I am looking to eat some good local foods, see some of the sites, one thing I want to see is where the old walled city was, I've read there is a park there now so I want to go see that. Probably do the peak, maybe the dragons back too. A big draw was the night life hence why I thought I should stay on the island itself, but is that a bad idea? I am pretty sure I can get a visa for shenzen while in Hong kong, does it cost money ? Is it worth a day trip to ?
Pay $1000hkd a gram, you'll find people selling it in LKF and wan chai.
Have you ever had troubles with the police / justice while abroad?
>>1284000
I once hit a cop when i was drunk.
Not really fair to say i had trouble with them. All they did was beat the shit out of me and drove me home.
Thanks ukrainian cops, for not killing me then and there
>>1284000
German police waved me over on the autobahn from Hanover to Bremen: at first I thought because I was doing 160 km/h in a 130 km/l stretch, but turned out they wanted me to check my car reg documents - they gave me 7 days to present them at the local station, which I did. They told me they pulled me over because my car was UK plated and there were cases of stolen foreign cars being "delivered" to "customers". Very nice polite officers: one man one woman.

Hey /trv/
We are all red blooded men here as far as i know, so tell me:
Out of all the countries you have been to
>which country has the most beautiful girls?
>which country has the worst looking girls
>>1281498
>best looking girls
USA, hands down
>worst looking girls
Europe, across the board
With my own eyes:
Best: Japan
Worst: India
>>1281498
>best looking
The US....wow I'm not sure how to feel about that, after all the places I've been it's hard to grasp that the US still comes out on top somehow.
>ugliest girls
Cambodia, and France, but French girls are bro tier so I'll let that slide, and I appreciate Cambodian girls not beating around the bush and not doing coy BS.
Japanese visiting New York next week. Assuming I don't get BTFO by Kim's ICBMs are there any tips, suggestions and dos and don'ts /trv/ might have for me during my stay?

Pan handlers seem to press asians hard because they have a reputation for handing over money rather than act confrontational. Tell those bums to fuck off.
I'm a lifelong New Yorker who hates my city with a blazing passion. Ask away
Can you tell me some restaurants/fast food joints around Times Square that have meals without the usual glucose-fructose injection?
I found some salads in Paris Baguette that did not taste sweet af, but I need some more for the next time I'm locked up there.
>>1276818
That's really the only place. I guess you could do Hard Rock Cafe, but that's fatty and not very good. Times Square is just a giant tourist trap. There is a place called prêt à manger that's similar to Paris baguette but it's not in Times Square. It's easy to find thing, since there's like a million inn the city
Bostonite here who also hates New York. AMA. (I hate Boston too btw. I think every city in the northeast is a steaming pile of dog shit)
I have some time during September to travel (maybe a week), and money isn't an issue within reason, but I'm a very inexperienced traveler, have mostly been abroad with friends/family, and because I'm inexperienced I don't know what I like and so where to go. I rarely get to take long vacations, I work hard for my money, so I'd like to maximize my chances of enjoying myself.
I'm a boring person who needs to plan ahead, is stressed by spontaneity in unfamiliar places and finds the concept of visiting popular locations just to put a mark on the map absurd. If I wasn't, I'd pick a random destination that's cheap and just go down the list of "known places to visit".
Does anyone have some algorithm (mental or written) for choosing a traveling destination? Surely, in such an experienced hobbyists community someone, at some point, must have made a decision-making list where you feed it information, go through the logical motions and it spits out a "Go to city X to try Y". Hell, I knew such an algorithm myself in the past, it was called "Grandpa"! Unfortunately it's no longer available to me. :( Help me out, /trv/.
>>1286999
Yeah I had this crazy algorithm that I use everytime I am plannig a trip, pay attention.
I see a place I would like to go to, then I go to it. I look at photos and youtube videos of the place, then I book a plane ticket and go.
>>1287033
>I see a place I would like to go to
But you decide you want to go there based on some criteria, Anon, otherwise your decision on where to go is arbitrary. I want to know how you make that decision - what makes you want to go someplace in the first place?
>>1287033
>I see a place I would like to go to, then I go to it. I look at photos and youtube videos of the place, then I book a plane ticket and go.
This is pretty much true, OP.
Honestly, don't overthink it. I would like to think you have some kind of bucket list of things that might interest you nearly everywhere. For instance, that time you took world history in school, and you oohd at the dawn of civilation, or Constantinople, or the roman empire ruins in...oh say Israel. Or maybe you are a geology nut and would find Iceland cool, or maybe you were a medieval kind of person and would enjoy intact villages. Literary person? Shakespeare, the sagas, the pub crawling stompin grounds of various authors of a country, from tangiers to paris. Maybe you are younger than me, and you find your inspiration from modern art, architecture or popular media like musicians, or you have key paintings you want to see at museums from Vienna to London.
Take your 3-4 ideas, and know that September is a great time to get some shoulder season deals, and maybe run the prices on airfare/hotel/cars for more than one place and realize, woah, theyre giving away iceland that week. Then decide if you're going to do a rental car drive vacation, or expect to stay in a city the whole time in public transport and narrow it down.. Once you pick the place, get "studying" on the highlights you'll see and why they are cool. I always read up a bit of history or even watch a movie that used it as a setting.
Where would you recommend I go to have a wild night out with the boys? Im travelling to all of these places in December with some friends in early Jan.
>Rome, Florence, Milan, Munich, Vienna, Budapest, Prague, Amsterdam, Paris, and London.
I need some recs for entertainment. I have a good list of the museums and sights that I want to go to; I don't know what places to check out entertainment-wise though.
>>1286982
How are you visiting all these cities in a month? Thats horrible.
And to say it again: the best nightlife in europe is in Berlin, with Amsterdam, London and Paris second.
>>1287000
Its like a month and a half.

sick of this mediocre fucking life. I wanna visit south america, west coast usa, alaska, eastern europe, etc before i get shit on by responsibility
any /adv/
What's your question?
What's the issue?
making money and traveling aren't mutually exclusive. You can do both.
>>1286851
I guess you have to start somewhere...
Paramedic school is one of those careers with little promotion and salary increase.
Pretty much the good jobs require you to put in a minimum of 4 years of college. Period. Life is indeed a rat race of boring ass jobs that give you little enough return to just get by. Have a significant other, and you two can pool your savings on groceries and rent and basic necessities you share like the cable bill or the car insurance. Or you get multiple roommates. Sacrifice then you get more out of life.
If I was a broke kid and I wanted to get going on a career, nursing is a good one for people who want to do 2 weeks, do a little home health, then 6 months, do a little LPN, then work on the R.N. and then, eventually? can even make doctor salaries at nurse anesthesiology, nurse practitioner, or even some leadership roles. Want a great schedule? Work per diem, and take 6 months off to do your travel shit, or work overseas in the nursing exchanges. Or become a school nurse, and get all holidays and summers off.
Be male? Oh yea, straight to the top of leadership. Paramedic? Ehh. Good luck. Save your money and do nursing school. My other advice is that what you feel bad about not having things can be mediated a little bit by more social life, and less online life. Get a new hobby or a couple new friends.
>>1286853
i'm rambling at the moment man, its my first night off in about 2 weeks. Cooked myself a nice dinner, watching simpsons reruns, drinking some avery gose.
I started having major existential thoughts after watching the frank grimes episode :/
You can choose one city to live in. You can still travel, but you will always have to live in this city for the rest of your life.
What do you choose?
You can also choose a small town if you wish.
For me, its Hong Kong. Many people like it, many people dont. But for me personally, its an amazing place with so much to find and late nights when its raining... its so comfy. I come back here all the time
What about you?
>>1286673
Budapest. I found the city relentlessly charming, and it gave off a fascinating vibe that I feel like I could explore for a long time. Learning Hungarian is a hangup for me though, it seems very challenging. I suppose my perception of the city is incomplete, considering I've only ever been there on the off season.
But now you've got me thinking about Hong Kong, also a very interesting city in a completely different way. 2bh it would probably be my #2 pick.
>>1286680
Budapest was very comfy indeed and amazing looking city as well. Got so many good things in it. Surprisingly little amount of hustlers too, considering the amount of tourists. I didnt get hassled that much, which surprised me
