>The Japanese? Those sandal wearing goldfish tenders? Bosh! Flimshaw!

Marina del Ray / Venice beach is about 2hrs on foot, seriously though, how the fuck are you going to manage travelling if you can't afford a bus fare?

im mexican, i am going home i was in japan with a scholarship, therefore i am poor :D

there's nothing around. just boring hotels, storage spaces, and long term parking lots.

There is however an In'N'Out Burger very close. I would try it out if you haven't had it before. It's always packed though so prepare for extra time.

I think going through Germany, Switzerland, down into Italy then back up the Western coast, southern coast of france and then into Spain is better. I would also visit Northern Spain if you have the chance. Much nicer than Barcelona (although it is a great city)

>>1150685
Belgium and northern France has really crappy landscapes, honestly not much too see there. Plus the traffic in Belgium can be horrendous.

I'd recommend going through Switzerland too. Do what >>1150731 said or you could pass Geneva, see the lake and get to Lyon easily.

I am moving permanently from Germany to Barcelona, I am not a tourist there. What do you guys know about toll roads in France? I don't want to spend too much money on tolls. unfortunately selecting the option "avoid toll roads" in google maps does nothing (only the route in Spain is changed).

Dubrovnik and Split can be explored in one day each easily. You can use your time to go to Bosnia as well.

Maybe Mostar ? Zadar is also really beautiful :)

Thanks guys. Might cut a day from Split and a couple from Dubrovnik to check out Zadar and also have been recommended to see Hvar...

Hays Kansas in the middle of the state is one of the funnest college towns I've been to. I like it a lot. Other than that city, Kansas in general is one of the most friendly states there are. The people are not rednecks or hillbillies or incest, but they are small town and probably small minded and in general there isn't terribly much activity outside of Hays. Kansas City and St Louis is okay, sure you can make some good nights out of that. Colorado is also only a days drive away.

is it easy to find work? WA state is so incredibly crowded. My city (bout 15 miles east of seattle) has doubled in population the past 5 years. From 40k to 80k. Middle class is pretty much non existent. I heard the BBQ scene is amazing in Kansas. Barely any traffic, either. Btw the incest thing was kind of a joke, I talked to one girl from kansas who told me she bangs her brother. No clue if she was joking or not.

I don't live there, just visit frequently. I imagine middle class jobs are plentiful there. I'd look it up. Definitely not a tech oriented state.

No one ?

>Are the majority of people traveling down from north to south or up from South to North?
I would be surprised if there were official numbers on this, or even an estimate. Besides, there's not 'one' route that backpackers follow.

And what do you mean by west coast? Litterly just follow the coast?

>>1150572
my best guess is if you're from outside the continent you'd want to start north to south, like starting from lima and going all the way down to patagonia, why that direction though i can't tell because i haven't been there but that's what i always hear

Im thinking of moving to costa rica if Clinton gets elected. If im going to live in a latin American country i might as well live in the happiest one

Living in Serbia right now.

Reasons for leaving:
>Girlfriend of two years lives here (biggest one)
>Terrified of a Clinton presidency
>It's very cheap here

How easy to find work and a place to live:
>I work online so I'm making a western salary over here pretty much
>Girlfriend found me the place to live

Is it better than your life back in the US?

>For sure

>>1150625
how well do you speak Serbian? Is it your first foreign language? How long did it take for you to pick it up?

I personally reccomend Jisatsu (自殺).

It seems like the perfect choice for a guy like you.

out of hk shanghai beijing seoul tokyo kyoto osaka and taipei i thought the most cyberpunk was taipei, the alleys in wanhua and datong specifically.

Osaka and Tokyo have a lot of the fancyness and flashiness of cyberpunk, but very little of the dirt and poverty. I would guess that maybe Hong Kong's your best bet, I've never been there though.

Did you mean to post this on /tv/? Movies are not real life, despite what Americans believe.

ASL and time in each city? I could possibly go out for a beer if you're in my city during the right time and if you're not some 52 year old creeper. Also, post your throwaway info or whatever.

Just start talking to people about music, some obvious common ground

Strike up random conversations with as many people as possible till you find people you get along with. I know it sounds cliche. "Cool *bandname* shirt" "Do you know when/where *band* is playing?"

Im a giant introvert autist and never have trouble making friends at festivals. It helps if you're on drugs and talk to similar minded people.

Lurk social networks for "alone travelers to festival" group, there are plenty generally.
Speak with people, offer them alcohol or whatever.
You don't find anyone you want to pass some time with? (very difficult) It's alright get drunk alone and enjoy the music, nobody is there to judge you.
>t. massive autist who went alone to a psytrance festival 2 weeks ago

>history and culture
>gook shit and anime
Yeah tough choice. Good luck, op.

Japan has some nice culture though, right?

If I were travelling in the summer, I'd take the Mediterranean without second guessing it, but with it being the winter I feel like the area won't have its optimal climate for it to be as enjoyable as it can be.

Northern hemisphere Summer in the Greek islands, July. Winter in Japan, late Feb. Santorini was really good with a group of mates, beaches and backpackers. Hakuba was the most beautiful place I've ever been. Snowboarding and Onsen's. Was nice with the missus. Both countries had fantastic food.

bump?

27/m bs physical therapy
Just graduated from school in PH. The senerey is beautiful! If you plan to stay in the Ph, live in a smaller city. Don't live in manila, it's too big of a place to trust strangers. Gf had her earrings pulled out once. The poorer people in 'barangay's' are the ones i trusted most.
Money wise; don't trust anyone eith your money. I stress this! Never reveal how much you truely make. They will be all over you, your cock, your gf's cock, everything to try to win your favor. I exaggeratted that a little, but if you do tell them how much you have/make, tell them half the amount. I tell it to the graduating students too, if they don't, the parents will expect them to pay for all the families bills. The money itself is fast and easy to spend.
The country is beautiful, just be careful.

Also, if you're an english teacher, than go with vietnam. Filipinos are taught english from birth.

Does anyone know anything about Tortuga bags? These look good.

Currency? Although I guess at this point which of the most likely choices is not that huge a difference.

I've visited Russia a medium-sized handful of times, I'm an American, and I'm not fond of Putin (by the same token, I'm not terrified of him, nor do I think he needs overthrowing--he seems popular with the Russian electorate, crooked though he almost without question is, which says it's up to the Russian people to decide if they want him or not).

All that said....

I like Russia a lot. People are very straightforward, often unpleasantly so, and it is an undeniably politically and economically dysfunctional place. But the country is the progenitor of one of the world's most important literary and cultural traditions, and people are very numerous, diverse, and interesting (and the women are, if not always up to the minute by Western fashion standards, frequently uncommonly attractive. But that has never been a thing of interest to me, as my Ukrainian-100-years-ago wife would not approve.).

Well, what do you want to talk about?
Let me live up to >>1149838 expectations and, in a straightforward way, ask you to drop that meme esl teacher and i like putin bullshit in favor of asking specific questions that you can't google easily

Learn the language. It will be a day/night difference. Russia is big. Diverse in people and nature, as the anon above says. You can get lost in the endless taiga riding a bmw and listening to the brigada soundtrack or you can attend high-end parties in Moscow, the country can cater to all of your needs. Set yourself specific plans and follow them. My recomm is to google a "tzarist russia" tour for yourself. See the most beautiful and important buildings from the period up to 1917 when they fell to Communism. A large part can be done in westmost Russia (the part next to Poland) so it'll be more bang for the buck.
