what do you want to see/do in Germany?
Every state has something different to offer.

>aiming for Berlin
Wow great, what a shocker, just like 99% of your cuntrymen. Are you studying Feminist and Justice Studies or Street Theatre Set Design?

>>1142239
I thought the most popular place for Americans to aim was Dresden or Juelich ;^)

Jokes aside, engineering, and Berlin seems like the strongest prospect, but I'm definitely open to other cities.

>Has anyone here moved Germany for school?
Yep, did so last summer.

1) Either you really can't afford it despite your money-no-object claims, or you need depression treatment. To "not bother" with someone is kind of weird language to use. Overall a lot of critical words in this deal.
2) Maybe you should go to Japan, Singapore or Hong Kong. You seem like you would be bothered too much in your depressed state to witness anything too upsetting.

>>1140783
No, uh, I have the money, about 80k. (I didn't say money was no object, I said it wasn't a issue.)

I was just wondering anyone had the experience of traveling for first time and being unimpressed (I thought maybe it was common). Or maybe there are people that had the some of my concerns and after they landed they were pleasantly surprised.

What's upsetting in South Korea or Taiwan just out of curiosity?

>>1140778
First time I left the country was to South Korea. Had a miserable trip. I was unimpressed, as you put it. Everything was so superficial, and Seoul was essentially New York, and everything outside of Seoul was essentially Soviet-era, which would have been fine if I had not traveled to Korea for modernity. Went to China after that, and it was a complete 180.

I would not go to South Korea. It is too familiar.

walk around, sit down and have a nice drink.

If you want to do the queue, you can get into the big church.

Beautiful city. I recommend getting off the big streets & just walking around in some small alleys

>>1140565
Yeah, and dont get caught by the tourist traps at St Mark's Square?

Take the waterbus down the length of the grand canal at night and then walk back.

DO NOT pay to go on a gondolier - one of the biggest fucking tourist traps in existence and ridiculously priced for what is essentially a very short boat ride.

Take a half-day trip to Murano and admire the glass works.

Just walk around a lot and enjoy the small avenues and winding pathways.

This time of year it's going to be hot which you might find unpleasant - there'll also be a fair amount of summer tourists too which will be annoying - just be aware of that.

Personally I thought Venice was nicer during the evenings or early mornings when less people are about.

It is in general one of the most touristic and pricey cities around.

I would recommend one food place which sold some great pasta for a very reasonable price though - see attached pic.

I don't know if this is bait, but English behavior is normal. Would you prefer some parts of America where strangers walk around acting like they're on coke?

>>1139407
It's not bait. I'm in Bristol at the moment and everything is so fucking dreary here. I can't explain it. It is nice, and developed and everything but there is like this bad energy everywhere. And it really can't be just the weather as I have lived in Canada in the past, and it is a very nice country to live in.

>>1139407
Sorry that you're so afraid of normal friendliness mate

I went to Italy and you could talk to strangers there too. I think it's when you get far enough north, like 50 N maybe the oppressive weather just depresses everyone

Mention the war a lot they love it

>>1137328
I second this, also make sure to remind them if what they did, this will help keep them humble.

Remind those fuckers that America saved their fucking asses in the war.

How do you handle unpaid-for guests of the customers, if at all?

>>1133400
Whomever stays in a room with a guest is their business. They accept responsibility for their guests behaviours if they are in the room with their permission. Rates are by the room, not the guest # - sales just uses the guest numbers to track and analyze shit. That being said there are limits on the number of people who can be in a room of a certain size or type, but this is dictated by your states fire safety code. Ex. Our single kings can have a max of 5 occupants, I believe, legally.

>>1133394
Ever fucked any lonely MILFs? Or been asked to cuck some bald fat loser's wife? Or ever boned the Honduran maids?

>>> If I buy the house am I legally allowed to live in it and stay in the country without a visa?

What? Ofcourse not.

>>1132352
>am I legally allowed to live in it and stay in the country without a visa?

if you are an EU citizen -Yes
if you are from outside EU - No

This will now become a huge problem for Brits owning and living in houses in Spain.

>>1132360
It's possible to ask for a permanent residence card if you're a EU citizen living in another EU country for at least the last 5 years. It will allow you to keep living and working in the country if need be.

>>1143404
Im on a bicycle trip through Europe, and I can tell that you don't need a tent like that. If it's your first tour then you're probably gonna pack more things than you truly need, but that's not necessarily such a bad thing, especially on a motor bike where weight doesn't matter that much.

If I´m going wildcamping in Norway I have to camp a little bit away from the roads, so I´m not sure if a sportstourer is the best choice for those offroad tracks

Skip brussels and spend a few days in copenhagen instead.

>>1143337
Yea? Only staying there 2 nights and was told Brussels was quite a nice city. I actually decided to stop there because I'm car pooling up north from Toulouse, and Brussels is the furthest north I could find in a day trip, and needed a place to stay at the end of the day, so figured I may as well visit the place if I'm there. Is it really not worth it?
Copenhagen seems a bit off track for the itinerary I'd planned, isn't it also pretty expensive?

This is actually very similar to the route I'm taking in the winter, I'm starting in Copenhagen, then Berlin>Prague>Vienna>Budapest>something else in Central Europe, maybe Zagreb or Belgrade>Rome>Florence>Madrid>Paris>Amsterdam.
I usually book in advance via hostelworld

>inb4 don't go

Dubai is not very popular on this board. Some for its politics (Indian labor), some for its glitz (soullessness they would say), but it is actually a great place for leisure/recreational tourism. An adult playground. But you will not likely get too much advice here on that place.

My advice is to get alcohol from the duty free to preflight before going to clubs. Also order a "Blue Frog" at any club you go to, to save on alcohol cost. And make sure taxi drivers run the meter. Even if they quote you what you think would be a good price, meter is cheaper.

>>1143235
Ah, thanks for the info dude! I'll keep those in mind!

I am sorry that your dog died.

>RIP in peace, puppers.

>>1142885

Thanks man

I've arrived now, theres only old brits and germans, anyone know where to get weed or more fun drugs?

>>1142865
There are open borders between all the countries you mention. No problems.

That may change if/when Brexit happens, but exactly how all that will play out is not yet known.

>>1142865
The tariffs and border security is only for your going home to the US.
Keep very good receipts and records together in an envelope. Where there is VAT charged or waived, you should have that paperwork all together and so its clear to anyone you aren't a shady type and not trying to hide where and when you bought something if anyone is searching you and your bags, say in France. No, they can't charge you, but you won't look like someone trafficking to finance a trip.
If you are able to ship items home each time you buy them, to a relative, you should. It's nice not having new valuables laying around each night at a hotel or in bags you have to check. Insurance is a good thing.

>>1142898
>f you are able to ship items home each time you buy them, to a relative, you should.
Thanks anon, I was thinking about this but was worried it would cost a lot more then just flying home with them in carry on.

do you like clubbing? as in having fun to good techno/house music..

Check out the techno clubbing scene there. It's spectacular. The bouncers are rude to tourists but check the door policies from google.

If you're a male who is not in a serious relationship and have some extra cash, go to FKK Artemis.

Is Lebanon OK to go to? Last thing I heard, the trash collectors in Beirut were all on strike so there's loads of garbage in the streets and the whole city stinks.

Also hasn't Lebanon taken on like 1 million Syrian refugees, which I imagine must cause a lot of tension and lead to a lot of noticeable poverty

>>1142630
>Is Lebanon OK to go to?
US State Dept warns Americans not to go in very detailed warnings about 15 pages long. Government employees are forbidden from all personal travel. Why would Britain be any different? Well, they aren't. Check out the map that blocks out more than 50% of the metro city area of Beirut for safety reasons related to bombings last month and kidnappings.
