The "visa" you would need to fill out as a person carrying an Irish passport is ESTA...which is not officially a visa, but sort of when you figure you have to pay for it and do something even if it's a minor inconvenience.

If I were you, I would always use your American passport unless you are traveling through Europe or to a country which makes American citizens apply for a visa or pay an entry fee which is not required of Irish citizens (example: Brazil).

I'll use this thread.
I have an EU passport and an Australian one.
I'm going to China and Japan soon enough. I have visa for China on my Australian passport.

I want to exit the EU with my EU passport, but obviously enter China and Japan with my Australian passport.
They don't give a shit where you're from right, as long as your visa is eligible for entry?

Curious about something, maybe you guys can shed some light: does it not raise issues when you do this sort of thing, and now have a passport that, for example, shows you exiting and re-entering EU 20 days later, never having been entered anywhere in between?

I know that used to raise issues with Americans who travelled to Cuba, and had this obvious gap in their passports where they went to Mexico, exited Mexico, re-entered Mexico but had no stamps showing for that time in Cuba -- if customs/immigration was otherwise suspicious, that confirmed that they needed to strip-search your luggage...

Dutchfag here. Not really well known in Leiden though. But it's a nice city with many cultural/language/law and medicine studies. It's probably better to find an appartment to live in, if you compare with Amsterdam. It's situated in short distance of int. airport Schiphol, Amsterdam and Den Haag. But Rotterdam is pretty closeby as well.
Cannot comment on our friendliness, however for foreign people it's pretty easy in Holland since ninety% speak English. I think it's not really expensive, not cheap either. It's way cheaper than England and Scandinavia. But might be more expensive than Mediterranean countries and East-Europe.
I don't know where you're from. But many EU countries have special sponsorhips for international students. For example studying in Denmark is free and you receive some college fund. In the Netherlands you'll have to pay like two thousand euro's for a years college. As a dutch citizen I receive 260 euros a month (but this will probably not be likewise for you). Belgium is cheaper as well in terms of college fee.

Thanks! I'm from Norway, so everywhere I go is cheaper... I only have to pay 2000€ per year in Leiden, as opposed to 20,000€ for non-EU/EEA, which is one of my main reasons for considering it.

Badump guise.

Is Dutch a hard language to learn?

Bumping for my own fortunate

Privats (apartment brothels) are cheap as hell, like $40 an hour. Jump on it!

This isn't in that many guidebooks unless very new ones, and it's an interesting treasure of Europe where reparations to restore property to rightful owners actually included all the treasures, nothing stolen by the nazis or the communists, or sold off by destitute europeans post-war. It's a nearly intact family estate with a princely history (and they were benefactors to Beethoven and various artists), where their works persist and have never been on display anywhere ever before, nor in your textbooks anywhere. It has limited hours, so check them before you plan what you will do each of your walking tour days of your trip.

I remember being in Norway with a manlet Mexican American and he bagged a tall blonde qt3.14 where his head rested comfortably on her bosom, while standing. I have seen Hispanics do fine in Asia as well, and in the Middle East with Asians. Also with Northern Europeans women at hostels and party destinations in SEA. That's the extent of my personal knowledge with Hispanics.

It looks great, friend, but it is like a lot of other Japanese stuff being available online.

If you are the one making these videos, focus on non-standard stuff and include video in the correct screen aspect ratio (which is 16:9 for most people).

And I'm landing in JFK.

>>1142322
JFK is not as close to Manhattan as you might think. For only 7 hours I'd stay inside Queens, check out a restaurant in Flushing or go to Astoria.

idk but once i cut open a blister while climbing a pole in prague while drunk and bled all over the Charles Bridge

and then I went to some bar that served out of a shipping container next to the river. It was great. Quiet, nice atmosphere. Met some cool people there.

Everyone hypes up the pub crawl in Prague but its not that great, unless you want to get drunk with 100+ random people.

>>1142298
Kek nice story anon.
Anyone?

>>1142291
Make sure the places that you are interested are actually open any day of the week. I was just in Prague and the National Museum is closed for renovations that will take years.

I was there for 4 days with my girlfriend and there was nothing that was closed on a specific day when we wanted to get in.


Keep in mind, the museums in Prague are generally shit.

HOW COULD I FORGET YOU WALLY

I didn't get hassled too much when I was there in April. I had to dodge their slowly dying bodies on the street, especially since it snowed a few times when I was there.

Make sure you get to the Air and Space Museum. Nothjing like it anywhere.

>>1142238
Sounds like a good plan, OP. Plenty to do. Good eats. Read washingtonian magazine or the smithsonian website to see if there are any traveling exhibits that interest you at various sights, just in case you didn't know! I always find the best treasures that way, something odd and usual that way, as well as restaurant rankings on washington post.

Smithsonians are free. My favorite is natural history too, the gems specifically. One of the museums will have a night event for afterhours, but only one! The top two non-free non-smithsonian museums are Spy and Newseum. My favorite air and space Udvar, is out by dulles airport and more difficult without a vehicle or reason to be so far west. It's worth it, however. Enola Gay is there and you can get inside a control tower simulation with live traffic and images from the airport.
It. Is. Hot. right now to be in DC, and you'll notice the blocks are long...you will want to wake early for any walking/exploring and then get into the A/C inside a museum, in my opinion. The bar and live music scene at the Clarendon metro might be safest evening for ya. Where did you pick to stay? That might determine where you should hunt for bars. There's a famous rooftop one that is now top of the W hotel, which gives you a view right into the White House grounds and windows. Sequoia in Georgetown has a pretty potomac sunset view. Vietnamese food in northern virginia (various and of course pho choices) and some of the best steaks in the US and burgers (fave:Ray's hellburger), are probably the best foodie choices distinctive for the city. I love going in Dean and Deluca, almost all cupcake places, and there are a ton of hipster big politico kind of bars with bartenders slinging the classics, esp close to the white house.

Nah man I wouldn't risk it. The top might be ok aside from being insanely windy but it seems everytime we get a little drizzle a shit ton of trees decide to fall right in the road all over Haiku and Kula. If that happens, you're gonna have a bad time because it means you'll be stuck up there in the actual storm for at least a few hours, or more if it's too bad for anyone to clear it.
