As a mode of transportation, US trains can e Hellish -- outside of certain commuter corridors where they are OK. Trains geared more towards excursion runs can be a fine, if touristy, ways to see some landscape.

Train travel beats travel by bus.

Getting an eye gouged out with a hot poker beats getting both eyes gouged out with a hot poker.

I don't have any experience with central America, but in general, if it doesn't require a visa, it will reset.

>>1134124
it gets reset. I know a guy that basicly lives there doing that.

>>1134135
Ok thank you

I would think a bank statement would be easier. But you know who would know the answer to what they require...?

>>1133948
I see the confusion.

I wanted to know whether to put cash into my checked-in luggage or to carry it on me. On one hand there's pick pockets, or the other hand you can get into a suitcase just by using a pen on the zip.

Cheap banjo, over-the-top ornate head. Bridge is a wee bit crooked and the tailpiece looks cheap.

1/10.

Cons? Really?

I don't give a fuck these days. I get it automatically with my credit card.

i made the mistake of getting travel insurance for my car through a third party. It was a waste as the car rental company doesn't recognize it anyway and they require you to buy their insurance unless you throw down a huge down payment.

>>1133873
Also ALWAYS read the fine print on any insurance before you buy it. There are often strict rules that will stop you from ever even making a claim unless certain conditions are fulfilled.

what are you into? clubbing vs. trekking ect

>>1133776
Pretty much every degenerate activity.
Also sightseeing etc.

>>1133773
Why make a new thread when there are 2 SEA generals active right now?

About, what. Travel?
What, the other 49 threads weren't interesting enough?

>>1133671
First time inexperience stories, I thought that was obvious enough

>plan trip with autismal planning for everything
>stressful as fuck, not fun at all
>go on road trip with no prior planning at all
>best trip of my life

You're passing Ghent. Check it out. It's more than worth it. Not as touristy as Bruges, but bigger and more authentic.

>>1133600
German here.
Don't take the Autobahn if you want to see small villages and medium cities. On the bigger roads you can still go 100km/h
You only want to see Berlin and Cologne? I would prefer very much Hamburg over Cologne. The "feeling" of Hamburg is great imho.

>>1133610
I'll try seeing if i can fit it in!
thank you.

>>1133640
I'm planning to take a train through germany, i'm choosing hamburg over cologne because:
a. it is highly recommended by some friends
b. i have friends i can meet there
c. it's much more "on the way" compared to hamburg
thank you for your thoughts though.

>>1133530
I don't think you really should be worried. Few people travel there so there isn't that much accurate information on the visa on arrival. I can give you my own experience though.

>fly to Dhaka last year
>be prepared with things like letter of invitation from local
>border guard actually doesn't care, he just wants me to fill out the form and to see the name of my hotel
>pay $51 and I'm in

Talking to some others who also got VoA, they were only asked about the hotel they're staying at. So have that as a printout. Unless you're staying with friends/family, in which case have their address handy.

What are you in Dhaka for an entire week anyway?

>>1133530
You white?

I would not worry too much. Granted, I haven't been there for 20yrs.

>>1133530
Are you still alive OP?

Long drives are fun. Bring good music, snacks and just cruise.

Pull over and nap if you feel you need to. Drink coffee. There's not much more too it then that.

Pretty much what that guy said. If you're not tight on schedule, then check out some places. But get plenty of rest, and if tired, always pull over. Podcasts are great too.

>>1133208
Get your car serviced before the big drive.

Get a large thermos and fill it with coffee every morning.

Try to hit the big cities in the late evening and get a hotel on the outskirts

Don't be afraid to detour for a day if you want to see something on the way.

t. moved from Nova Scotia to Texas

Toronto is certainly worth visiting if you're never been. I don't think it's really worth visiting if you're not even going to really stay one day, though. Toronto is kinda ugly on the whole (like all Canadian cities), and more of a city that rewards exploration. I don't think you'll really being doing it justice or be all that blown away.

Niagara-on-the-Lake is certainly pretty. I don't know how much time you have, but you could do a circuit around Lake Simcoe, or go to Kawartha (awesome ice cream) and back. That'll give you the right countryside vibe if you avoid the major highways. Watch some Letterkenny to get a satirized idea.

If you had a lot of time, you could make a circuit of Lake Huron. Tobermory up the Bruce Peninsula (pretty) has a ferry to Manitoulin island, where you can make your way to Sault Ste.Marie and down to Mackinac and onward to where ever you live.

Where in Michigan are you? I assume not on the UP?

Did you buy that in India?

>>1133123
>Canada's day weekend
>QEW one of the busiest in world

avoid it m8. toronto is alright, its a lot safer and calmer and more hipster than chicago or michigan. scenery leading to it is shit compared to michigan though.

t. lived there for five years

>>1133248
niagara on the lake has a more scenic route too.

>>1133250
True, dang, I actually managed to forget about Canada Day, lol.

Still, that means there will be all kinds of little town fairs and stuff going on. No trolling, if you tell people you're American and came to see what Canada is all about, I think you'll be treated pretty well. Canada Day is less bombastic than 4th of July though.

I'm not in Toronto at the moment, or I'd suggest grabbing a beer.

Ayyy, you could've slept on my couch in Brussels. But I've just booked an August-October trip to Indonesia. Sorry bro.
Are you sure that one night in a hostel is so expensive? I reckon it'd set you back 20-25€.

>>1133202
Which is like 3 nights of equal comfort in Morocco...

Thanks for the offer though! Im sure Ill find something! Have fun in Indonesia!

>>1133113
What are your exact dates?

Can you post your itinerary for North Africa?

>>1133063
Nowadays most people tend go in the opposite direction

>>1133063
Go to Agio Oros, its thestern peninsula of the 3 next to Thessaloniki.

The whole peninsula is owned by the church for 1000 years and has 13 monasteries.

Women cannot go there, its an ancient law though.

>>1133186
thats heaven on earth

they have a whorehouse every kilometer of the way, cheap, young, clean.


the law of no women is the perfect excuse for married men to spend a couple days away from wives when travelling in through eastern europe.

but you find this information anywhere, its an ancient secret

so you're not really asking for tips on how to take photographs of things you see. you're asking for tips to photograph yourself, and things happen to be on the background.

I've only got one tip for you: don't be fat, bitch

Try to limit the amount of photos you are taking. The more you take the less meaning each one has.

>>1132807
I disagree, I prefer the girl on the left because of that beautiful red hair. I'd love to tongue her firery crack.

You have literally just answered your own question. What is it you want from us ?

I mean the history of Finland is different than that of the other countries, just like their language isn't a Germanic language.

But I think that if you visit those countries, especially as an American I guess, you're not really going to notice a bigger difference between Sweden and Finland than between Sweden and Norway

Forgot to add, reason I'm not doing this with U.S. trains is because I've seen mostly everything the US has to offer. I'm bored of the US. I've been to all the major landmarks in every region.

I would be a 19 year old male traveling solo. Other option would be doing the entire trip on my motorcycle, but I don't know if I have the stamina.

Train from Winnipeg to Toronto was one of the worst times of my life. Fuck all to see and takes forever. Best part is stopping every few hours to let a freight train pass. Rails aren't continuous welded either so is a constant clunk-clunk-clunk.... forget sleep

>>1132479
Well, I would be in my own cabin.
