What a great topic. Just spent 5 days two months ago at a buddies place. Antwerp is nice, but only takes 1.5 days to be content with it. We spent a few hours in the downtown old district and my final night at the Bocadero/Roxy nightclub (both were fantastic btw). It should be noted I have minimal experiences with nightclubs though.

There are plenty of nearby gems to enjoy that take just a day to enjoy sufficiently. Bruges is within 90 minutes of Antwerp is one of the most beautiful town's I've ever seen! Called Venice of the North. A+

Brussels was dirty and felt sketchy, the town center was neat and the Atomium is cool but ehh overall.

Amsterdam is like 2hrs away and has wonderful architecture, wish I had spent more time there but it didn't work out. You can rent a bicycle and explore or relax in the coffee shops i guess.

Overall Antwerp is a great central city for day trips. Hopefully you have a car and can afford the 6$/gal gas though.

What kind of bags do you have in your mind?

I am currently looking for an ideal laptop bag. I stay in the third world though, so my ideal bag is one that does not look like it contains a computer. Check out the Quiksilver Messenger bags, or the Crumpler brand

There are also groovy distressed leather bags out there that look good and are gonna look better with time. Some are real leather. Some are PU. The good ones are made in India. Search for "vintage laptop leather shoulder bag" on Ebay and some versions come up.

I will stay with simpler messenger bags though. IF I put the laptop inside my regular carry-on luggage, I want to be able to roll up my laptop bag and attach it with straps to my carry-on, if I can't fit it inside.

I liked Prague. Practical with old world charm. Haven't been to Berlin since the Muslim takeover. I expect to go back for Crusades II.

>I've arrived at my destination already
So what are you complaining about? In the future research how long it will take to get to the airport and don't run the risk of missing a flight.

>>1285335
I got to the airport in time, the problem was the polish border patrol, they were slow as fuck

My condolences, no

Do Bled and triglav, I would start following the coast around krk/rijeka at the latest.

I suppose the Willis Tower (Sears Tower?) is also a good stop for a cityscape. Is that located on Magnificent Mile? I'm not sure myself. I've been to Chicago only handful of times but there isn't too much outside of Millennium Park, to be honest. Maybe Hyde Park and some other areas if you're interested in architecture. If you don't want to get shot, I would just stay in the touristy areas. Crime is greatly exaggerated but there are several neighborhoods where it is quite rampant. If you stay out of those parts, then you should be more than okay.

I haven't been to Cleveland. I assume they have that Rock and Roll Hall of Fame but probably rather mundane at best. Still, a better option compared to Columbus. I also have no opinion of Pittsburgh which I have been to before.

if you can make it up to detroit the abandoned buildings could be pretty asthetic

>>1285182
Stop in Pittsburgh. Avoid getting shot by not going to Cleveland.

Why would you visit DC? Why not go abroad?

Honestly there isn't a whole lot to do in DC outside of visiting the war memorials and seeing a couple of museums. If you're there for a week it's going to be absolute overkill.

Also avoid certain areas of the mall (not shopping center, the national park called the mall). They are incredibly dangerous in some parts. DC has a tendency of being quite clean and rich on one street and an absolute third world shithole on an adjacent streets so you need to be careful and practice common sense to stay safe from hoodlums.

All else being equal though you should have chosen any other city, if you are forced into visiting only cities in USA due to budget constraints you should have atleast went to NYC. Washington DC is bottom tier for visiting, sorry to pre preemptively disappoint you. After you and your buddy visit the monuments and the war memorials (+ maybe the pentagon) you will have nothing else to do for a full week and will probably regret it.

i hate dc, but a lot of my less traveled friends really liked it

supposedly these days there are lots of nice coffee shops and clubs

spending hundreds to drink coffee seems dumb, but to each theor own

>>1285158
i actually hate the taste of coffee

i am monitoring this thread

If something/somebody annoys you, the only sure thing you can do is fix it yourself.

its super easy to fuck other travelers

If you're at least a little good looking, white and socially adept, it's easy to find an at least decent looking Taiwanese girl. No need to pay hookers. Even when your looks are terrible it's still doable.
