Legoland is the shit my man, only been to the Windsor one but shit was it good

They have legolands in the us

>>1134927
Billund is in the middle of nowhere, at least as much as it can be in a small country.
There's also a water park there with vacation homes.
I've been to Legoland once when I was a kid. I'm sure the people are perfectly nice.
If you're super into LEGO then go, but if you want to experience other stuff also, then I guess you could take a train to Hamburg or go eat at Henne Kirkeby Kro and see the west coast.

Don't go during January and March because it is winter and the time of heaviest snow fall winter, which will make a number of treks and mountain passes inaccessible for an indeterminate amount of time.

Really? Wikitravel said March was a good time with warmer temperatures again.
It's really the only time in the year I can get a longer time off work, and by then I could have around 2500 spending money saved which according to the (minimal) research I've done so far should be enough.

Late March early April might be okay but there could still be a lot of snow left if your planning on any trekking at slightly higher altitudes. April and may are prime season, snow is gone and monsoons don't come till around June usually.

The usual tourist spots are like that for a reason. Because they're the best places and the ones most worth going, and everyone knows that.

If other places were as good they'd be the usual tourist spots too

Just because a place is more famous than another place, doesn't make it better. I thought people on this board should know this.
However, categorically skipping every tourist spot is also stupid.

And that seems to be everything that needs to be said on this topic.

Do you speak French? because if you don't you're fucked over there.

>>1134487
I can converse, but complex words are beyond my reach right now.

>>1134488
I can tell you one thing what we say in the Netherlands.

"France is a great country, the only problem is that the french live there"

The problem is that they often refuse to speak english. Or they will only answer you in french. This is even in the restaurants, they dont give a fuck that you're a customer.

Better study up on that french.

Nice pic. Never got to see the volcano, clouds never lifted...

Do SEA, cheaper than most anywhere. Safer too if you're into that. Plenty of shit to explore outdoors. Won't have to pack as much if you're going in the winter months because it's so warm.

>>1134627
What is SEA?

Here's a quick lesson.
Bourbon is sour mash whiskey. Bourbon is the name of the region it is made in. If it's not made IN Bourbon, you cannot call it Bourbon. That's why Jack Daniels says "Tennessee Whiskey" on the label, even though it tastes identical to many kinds of Bourbon.
The same is true of Tequila. If it's not made IN Tequila, then it's mezcal.

How to get some? Go to a big liquor store. There's some good mezcal out there, but there's a lot of good tequila out there too.

Disclaimer: This is just a general explanation. I'm not super familiar with mezcal, but the ones I've tried pretty much tasted like tequila.

>>1134261
I live in Austin. Yes, there's lots of tequila and mezcal because of our proximity to Mexico. My experience has been craft beer. There's a lot of it here. Some of it is good. Most of it is not.

>>1134370
anything specific you could reccomend?
>>1134365
i'm not a big tequila fan but it might be because the sort of tequila you get here comes in bottles with little sombreros, i figure there must be something to it if its so popular so i'm willing to give it a go

You're from an Asian family.
You're supposed to be working in a high profile job, aiming to become the CEO while keeping the stability at 120%.
Why are you even considering going to a lesser job? Are you that naive?
And yes, it's immoral to go against your parents wishes and even worse to leave then behind and move to another country.

>>1134279
>stability at 120%
Is that even possible?

>>1134259
It's your life dude. Do whatever you want.

Get up into the Blue Ridge.

Your budget is shit. You won't be able to go abroad. If you have a car maybe just go for a road trip and spend sometime living out of your car somewhere nice on the Florida coast.

Or greyhound it up to new York/ Atlantic City for a week or two. Maybe spend some tome in Maine if youre into nature and shit. Good luck. Next time prepare in advance, you'll get more for your money. Fucktard.

well what are you looking for? nature, (historical) sights, meeting lots of people, partying?

I feel like America mostly offers great nature and big modern cities, but doesnt have the hostel/solo-travel culture like Europe and SEA.

So I would advise you to look for a cheap flight first and go from there.

I just cant imagine how you would actually spend your days alone in american cities, visiting museums maybe? then again I havent been there so there might be lots of stuff to do that im missing, but I still think your best bet for some actual change of scenery would ge going abroad.

>>1134133
>How do you respond when they act like that?
They don't because I travel to countries most people know are actually worth visiting.

>>1134133
How to convince a person afraid of new things that traveling is fun? Might as well try to convince an evangelical Christian that the church of Satan is actually a pretty cool group of people.

American here. Don't know specifics about companies and whatnot, however I do know it's more expensive than you'd think to rent one. Good luck, may be cheaper to buy a peice of shit car and stay in motels/hotels for the vacation and get a few grand back selling it at the end of your trip.

>>1134231

i had a look at few companies and you are right. its around $200 a day.
more if you want unlimited kms :(

>>1134118
here's one that does like a smaller camper van sharing like air-b-n-b

http://www.lostcampersusa.com/?gclid=CNrdg6rI1c0CFYNsfgodCpsFAw

>SEA
More or less the only country left in Southeast Asia where you could even theoretically pull something like this off is Cambodia--it remains possible to get an indefinitely renewable Cambodian business visa for a few hundred dollars on flimsy pretexts, at least for now. The Philippines has a relatively generous visa regime as well, though that will obviously depend on your nationality.

More or less everywhere else you will need a local job, a local wife, or more money than you probably have to be allowed to stay legally for more than six months. Life as an illegal immigrant is possible but risky, with near-guaranteed financial repercussions (most countries charge you by the day for overstaying visas or permissions, which can add up to many thousands over the course of some years), eventually, and some constant chance of arrest and deportation.

No detailed idea about land tenure for foreigners in either CB or PH, but do know that the Cambodian government (one of the most corrupt and kleptocratic on earth) regularly appropriates property for politically connected sugar or paper interests--lots of local farmers have become homeless thanks to land grabs in the last twenty years or so. So it has the potential to be pretty exciting real estate. And I know that foreigners cannot own land in Thailand, just condos (not the dirt underneath or around them). Even that is a pretty recent innovation; I lived there for many years when all property was forbidden to international buyers. And Thailand is in the six months and you're out club anyhow, so you won't be able to get legal residency.

>>1134081
Thanks for the reply.
Cambodia was actually my first pick for the reasons you listed.
If im not mistaken a foreigner cant buy land in cambodia, but you can do some kind of legal partnership with a cambodian citizen to buy property.

>>1134085
Concur with the other dude that said that Cambodia is the place because of the Visa situation.

The trick in 'bodia is to get a company (offshore or not), buy the place through a local, then make a 99yr lease to the company.

Of course, rule of law is weak in Cambodia, and the day when the locals decide to string up the big man and his croonies, it is gonna be even harder to defend your 'rights'.

Just find some good people to rent from. Stay a couple of years. You have no idea what will happen and what you will want to do in the future.

Depends totally on the city, what you are into, how much time you have total and what all else you want to get to that trip.

Me, Id love to spend a week or two in Rome -- I've been there only once, and it was for three days, which was great but there was much more I would have wanted to do with more time. Still, my time in Rome was one of my favorite travel memories.

long stays in one city are way over rated from a opportunity cost prospective.

I did 3 days in Rome and thought that was more than enough. If you're going for 1-2 weeks, jump on a train and go around places.

go talk to the girls in the picture

Count how many sheep you see on the way.
The one who sees the most at the end of the trip receives a blowjob from the other.

>>1133865
just sit and observe the thoughts passing before the viewer of mind
find that which perceives these things
see thought as clouds
see the body
see you are not this
see your body is not separate from the environment
all fits together
the flower will bloom for you
do not run from this moment
die in it

>>1133797
Watch the fireworks on TV. DO NOT GO DOWN TO WATCH IN PERSON! Too crowded and you will be penned in.

Go to times square and try the pizza at Sbarro. Easily the best NY pizza. FUHGEDBOUTIT
