If you're only taking 3 Q-Tips then the trimmer is probably redundant.

How about a lightweight version for backpacking

>that huge as fuck toothbrush

Are you stupid?

Do they really have two cities called Rabat?

Make sure you are there for August the fithteenth evening. The festival of the Assumption of Our Lady is celebrated in style in several towns / villages. Parade of statues through the streets and huge firework displays. A celebration not to be missed. Personal favourite is Mosta but several of the others are also very good. http://www.visitmalta.com/en/search-events?pg=1&from=15-08-2016&to=15-08-2016&type=112

Personally I'd choose Russia. Incredibly rich language, culture and history and while the cities might be a bit more grim and gloomy than, say, Budapest and Istanbul they redeem themselves with great nightlife and social activities. In my opinion you should consider St. Petersburg if it is possible for you. It is close to other countries in the Baltics and a short plane journey from the Nordic countries.

Language wise, Russian, Hungarian and Turkish are all difficult languages, but Russian might be a tiny bit easier because of several cognates with English which means you'll be able to decipher the general meaning.

With that said, I also do think that Turkey and Hungary are very nice countries and no matter which of them you choose, you'll have an excellent time i*m sure.

I don't have any personal experiences with studying in either of those countries, but I am fairly certain they are host to some well respected universities.

It depends on where in Russia tbqh.

The inflatables are the only ones that work just right for me, because I can let out enough air that the back of the neck is comfortable, also I don't like to give up precious carry-on room for a full size pillow.

What I also do? I have a real wool (breathable) scarf that can serve as an extra neckroll/lap blanket, or be folded for a low back pillow. If I know I'll be in economy or something else uncomfortable for long hours like a hard train seat or economy car, I might also wear a packable down (or polyester) vest that cushions the back like a giant pillow. To me the enemy of sleep is simply comfort.

I'm going on economy train overnight. Are these necessary? Even when camping I just use a bag of clothing or something. I'll have a wool blanket with me. Can I just roll up a towel? Limited room in pack.

>>1136498
When I was younger I would travel with the ones stuffed with beans. Those were the best. Now I have an inflatable and while not as comfy, they are definitely better than rolling up a jacket or not having any pillow at all. I inflate before going to the airport precisely so I don't have to do it in public.

Usually I just put it up my butt.

Then again, I'm normally transporting hamsters so I'm not sure if it will be the same, but give it a try!

Instead of wanting to bring an invasive specie in Japan, what about getting or finding a local one?

>>1134803
These are already in Japan in huge numbers. There's no import restrictions on them either, the problem is finding an airline that will let me carry them in. Tried several, but they will not.

Please stop these feels, I'm not even joking

Everything I've managed to fuck up in this country and can't ignore anymore.

Winter

I fucking hate cold weather

I've only recently gotten into the idea of doing TEFL, if anyone has any general information that might not be mentioned on guides elsewhere I would appreciate that. Also, if English is the required college major is another concern of mine during the application process.

>>1121694
I'm OP but I can at least tell you that studying English at college isn't required. I'm English so I don't have a major but my degree was in politics, and at my interview for the course 3 of the 6 people didn't speak it as a first language.

>What's some good shit to do in Miami beach?
1) Travel during Dec-Mar
2) Eat/shop/party

A local and tourist schedule should look quite similar to the following:
9PM get knockout gorgeous designer duds dressed to go out. Hit up Lincoln Road or Design District restaurant, get sloshed while people watching, wait for clubs to open at midnight.
Midnight: dance til 4ish or so, club hob, bar hop, maybe even an afterparty club
4AM-7AM breakfast on the way to your hotel, or at least a cuban pastele and cortadito at a walk-up window. Alternately, Pizza Rustica.
8AM Change into swimsuit, lay on beach til it's too damn hot at 10AM.
10AM Go to room. Shower. Lay naked in the air conditioning on your white sheets in your art deco hotel room.
10AM-9PM. Do nothing. Sleep. Watch hilarious Univision. Order takeout. Snack on smoothies or sushi. Eat low carb. Stay in the shade. Nap some more. Go to the spa. Get a Brazilian wax and pedi. If you must get up to eat, do a little shopping while out. Come back until Sun goes away or try the hotel pool.

Rinse, repeat. Seriously.

If it were Dec-Mar, you could actually be outside more early or even all day, a little earlier for sure, and there are a ton of festivals. Since it's summer, damn, it's unbearable. Remember locals only go out at night, and you need to hydrate constantly and move from air conditioned cars to buildings as fast as possible. What kinds of nice things are there to do in Miami?

Coral Gables: shopping, dining, historic homes x15, biltmore sunday brunch, venetian pool swimming.
ArtWalk night, a few choices for this combined with some wine and dine fun, maybe even clubbing. Be safe though :/
Fairchild, Matheson, Old Cutler, Coconut Grove Bike or tour it somehow. It's kind of dead/quiet at night. Day is best. Can be combined with Vizcaya, and right into a Key Biscayne sunset drink, or some partying off Brickell.
Get out on the water. Whether you take a night fishing trip out of Haulover, charter a sail on a catamaran, or something like the stars' homes tour out of Bayside on a party boat, do it.
Homestead mexican food, couple historical stops on the way, followed by a Keys drive, maybe a snorkel or dive boat at Pennekamp, drive down to Key West (3 hour drive each way), overnight it before coming back. Make sure to do sunset at Mallory Square and see Hemingway or treasures.
Everglades: Shark Valley tram (otherwise you'll be walking over gators). Maybe a air boat. Combine with some Little Havana 8th St fun on the way there or back, or some Pit BBQ. I suppose you could do bingo at miccosukee or catch a concert, but err if that's your thing. Winter is best. If you want to drive a long ways...go see Clyde Butchers gallery and do a night in Marco and Naples.

I was actually just there for a funeral; which was the highlight of the trip.

Depends on what your into.

Unless you're really bored of living, decline. Imagine Detroit except instead of niggers, you have natives. And instead of guns, you have rusty knives and broken liquor bottles.

The flagship downtown store is a dollar store. That's all you need to know about Winnipeg.

>>1139025
Oh why did they have the Brazil flag? Nevermind

as possible as with any other language, I've never been in any english speaking country but I'd say I'm kind of fluent.
I think you'd be able to find some Spanish expats in Australia since it's a popular destination, maybe you can find some language exchange activities in your town or in couchsurfing.

>>1139044
But I am 20 and these expats are not from my age group.

I've seen algerians on /int/ every once in a while but that's it.

There was an Algerian anon who made a pretty good thread on /out/ a while back.
Pretty good post on /r/hitchhiking a while back about hitchhiking through the north.
It's definitely on my bucket list, but I suspect for every cool thing Algeria has, Morocco has something cooler.

I though Algeria was reluctant of mass tourism. I thought the visa was hard to get. Or am I mistaken?

>>1138915
But Morocco has touts.

do you live in a hostel?

get some friends? lol

Talk to people?

Good on ya buddy , can't let ISIS win, they want people terrified.

I'm still waiting for a Pokemon Go joke about the driver

>Times have changed and we should learn to live with terrorism

Do you really want to visit a country whose PM makes these kinds of comments?

When was the last time an airliner from a major North American carrier went down?

I would feel pretty safe saving the three hundred bucks.

Safety is never a concern when you're flying an airlines anywhere in the developed world. Your chances of getting into an accident are near zero.

AA costs less because it's more shitty. AC isn't great but it's a bit more comfy.

Both of these are reassuring. thanks
