So I'm headed to Turks and Caicos Islands for the first time next week. I'm staying at the Sands Resort.
I've done a bit of research but would love to hear from those who have been there. I'm looking for tips such as hidden gem restaurants/activities, night life (especially vice/party-related), and any other specific Do's/Dont's that anyone cares to share.
Thanks for your expertise!

Beware the stobor
Stobor?
Anybody have any actual tips/recommendations?
Hey /trv/ I'm staying in Canada for the entirety of December to January. I know its cold as balls but are there any activities places worth checking out? I was considering Churchill Manitoba for the northern lights and all that.

just asking for some winter suggestions from canada anons jeez
Hey /trv/. I'm keen to go somewhere in Jan/Feb 2017, I was thinking of either Europe or US/Canada (Australian here). I don't mind the cold but I'm afraid of not being able to do anything if there's heavy snow that forces things to close or anything like that. What recommendations do you have for places to travel in the Northern Hemisphere? Of course no one has control over the weather, so I'd just like to hear your best suggestions. Pic completely unrelated
Traveling to the Northern Hermisphere and afraid of heavy snow? I guess you have to deal with it or you have to travel in summer.
But I can recommend Sweden or Norway. Too. fcking. beautiful,
>>1133108
Hey OP, Canadian here
During the winter in Canada, expect all 'outside' summer attractions to be closed for the season, like gardens, old forts, etc. However, there are tons of winter attractions that open up, like ski hills and skating rinks etc. As for general closures, Canada is extremely hardy in terms of dealing with snow and things will only shut down during the most extreme conditions, maybe one day a year. I've driven through white-out blizzards on several occasions which is possible because of our massive highway snowploughs. Restaurants bars and stores only close if it is literally impossible for the staff to open them due to snow, which is very unusual
>>1133108
The fun part is that places where you can expect heavy snow generally don't give a shit because they're prepared to handle it. Countries like UK on the other hand enter "SHUT DOWN EVERYTHING" panic mode the moment they spot a snowflake.
Next month I'm travelling to italy, might go without friends. I'm doing 12 days to Milan, Venice, Florence, Pisa, Rome, Naples, Pompeii.
Any tips?
In Venice check out San Zaccaria church's flooded catacombs, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Zaccaria,_Venice it's only a stones throw away from St Mark's square and it is beautifully atmospheric and lovely and cooling on a hot summer's day. Also Florian's in St Marks Square is THE PLACE to have afternoon tea (do it inside and you'll see the wonderful artwork too) have a pot of their blossoming tea if you can afford it my wife and I went there for our first wedding anniversary and I surprised her with that. The big bell tower in St Marks square costs next to nothing to get in and has the most stunning views you'll ever see of a city in your life. The waterbus is a great way to not only get places in Venice, but it is cheep and a great way to see the city. If you're an Indiana Jones fan you'll want to see Campo San Barnaba while you're near the Rialto Bridge and have a drink in the plaza Indy and Elsa come up in after bit in the catacombs in the Last Crusade. The Rialto Bridge itself is a bit of a let down at the moment because some shitbag Jeans company has paid to have it covered up with their advert while it is being repaired (way to ruin the good PR you got for funding the restoration you idiots).
Don't Visit the Lido in Venice it is like Bennedorm and the beach is shit. Do go on a visit to Murrano if you like glass, because the stuff you'll see in the showroom gallery there will blow your mind. The glass factories will arrange for free trips to Murano run by the factories so if you have the time then go for it but St Marks basilica, the Doges Palace, the bell tower, San Zaccaria and Florian's should be your priority if time is precious.
Italy will be VERY HOT in July so make sure to take a hat and a huge fan along with some bottles for water (Rome and Venice have nice fresh cool water fountains you can top your bottles up at as you walk around).
>>1133110
Thanks I'll definitely go to Campo San Barnaba and St. Mark's Square. How much do gondola rides usually cost?
Any advice for Rome and mostly I want to go up Vesuvius in Naples?
>>1133098
Avoid pickpocketers (in Napoli)
A friend and I are planning to go to southern France this summer and we are going to go do some hiking in Gorges du Verdon - any one here have experiences in the area? Do you by any chance have recommendations on where to start/end, we are flying to Nice. The aim is to do a 4-5 day hike.
>>1133073
I never hiked there so I can't give you advice, but it's pretty crowded in summer.
I actually don't know if you can just go hiking into the wild there, French national parks tends to be restrictive.
>>1133101
There are trails, like everywhere else in the world. Whether you follow them or not is up to you
>>1133101
>>1133124
And anyway the Verdon gorges aren't a national park
A good idea still? Due to arrive in a about 10 days time but reconsidering after these latest events...
Rip OP
Don't worry you won't be missed
>>1133039
Just avoid cliche tourist locations, oh and don't go through the airport.
I'm of the opinion that everytime something like this happens, security is greatly improved for the following weeks or months. I think you'll be safe.
I have no idea how public transport works in the US, but apparently there's a bus from DC to New York that I can take. Supposing I've landed at Dulles and it's like 4:30pm, does anyone know exactly how I can get from there to central park before 2am? Money's not a huge issue but I'd prefer to keep it under $50
pls help, I'm super retarded
>>1132999
Try Megabus
http://us.megabus.com/Default.aspx
A quick search got me fares from 27-31 dollars, so its within your budget
Not OP, but....
>>1133009
>try to visit website
>the state commission for gambling has blocked the website
What fresh hell of retardation is this, now.
>>1133009
Will I be able to rock up on the night to catch the bus, or should I book in advance? How popular do you think the service would be?
What is a good place for a 20 year old to move to and start over; maybe from scratch? I have my reasons (hellish ones), and realize hardships, but there are so many places and opportunities in America I just don't know which path to take.

>In America

: >Thinking about going on holiday to Tunisia this summer..ask me anythink ..Am tunisien
>>1132985
you gonna get killed
I do love harissa, so maybe I should visit Tunisia.
I want to move to Narita airport Terminal on a permanent basis.
Is this possible? I have roughly 12 million yen in savings. I believe I can do this, and it is my life dream to do this.
First of all, I'll get this out of the way, yes, I am a weaboo. I love Japan. I don't see any issue with loving what is, essentially, the perfect society. I love anime too, yes, and the anime advertisments at the airport are one of my main considerations. My parents disallow me to have anime posters in my room so the airport would be a nice release. However, I have many reasons for wanting to do this, chief among them the peace of living at an airport and the fact that I would finally be able to settle down. I have chosen Narita Terminal 1 for many reasons.
It is a very large departure area with a huge amount of things to see and do. The observatory area is probably the best placed observatory area in any airport I have visited. I love watching planes go by. I could do it all day everyday.
Lifestyle at Narita would be perfect. It has a wide array of restaurants. It has a salon for hygiene. It has showers. It is clean. It has dining options to suit everyday, whether I wish for some rice balls from 7-Eleven or Lawson or a McDonalds or Confections from Ginza or nice high class dining establishments. I would never get bored of the food. Ever. It is warm and welcoming and I am sure the Japanese people would allow me to stay. Which brings me to my next point for why I think this is possible...
At Narita, both in departures and in arrivals Japanese film crews film a show called 'Why did you come to Japan?' in which they interview people who have been visiting the country.
I am certain that they would soon recognise me, and make me into a celebrity on Japanese television and internet. This would ensure I would be granted permanent residence of the airport. My money would dry out but I am sure people would buy me food and drink just for being so dedicated to my cause.
Hiroo Onoda. Have you heard of him?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-25772192
He was a Japanese soldier who fought for 3 decades after world war 2. He died a hero and a legend to the people of Japan. By moving into Narita I hope to essentially become the modern version of Hiroo Onoda. By steadfastily refusing to leave my new home, I am sure that I will become worshipped. When I die I may even get a statue of myself at the airport, something typically reserved for Emperors. I have visited Japan 10 times, I know the mentality of the Japanese people. They admire western dedication to their ideals. And this? This is my ideal. The last time I visited Narita I saw a beautiful Middle Eastern Girl purchasing Onigiri at Lawson claiming the airport was so clean she never wanted to leave. I hope she will see me on TV- I know she watches Japanese TV as I followed her and watched her use her phone- and join me at my home.
Do you believe I have what it takes? I have extensively examined previous cases of people living at airports.

>I have extensively examined previous cases of people living at airports.
Give me examples, anon.
OP! Your plan is FANTASTIC!
Ignore every single anon that reply saying that your plan is stupid, that you're an idiot, a retarded dreamer or anything negative about you or your plan! Even if they have a sound argument against you! They're just jealous!
Go for it, OP! Carve your mark in history!
Don't believe in yourself! Believe in me! Believe in the me that believes in you!
Anyone know what became of the border checks between Hungary and Austria? I'm going on a multi-country trip this weekend which involves both countries. I would assume they have been dismantled by now, but I don't think it ever made the news, international news at least.
>>1132849
>multi-country trip this weekend which involves both countries
cant trick us that easily Achmed ibn al refugee. Fuck off we are full
>>1132849
I would assume that you'd have to simply show your passport to the border officials, since there are no visas or any body checks in the Schengen area
>>1132849
I don't think they've been dismantled. But I'd also assume the police will mainly investigate suspicious Romanian trucks that could possibly hide some refugees in the back. You'll probably just have to show your passport and go on. Unless you're driving a suspicious Romanian truck.

That sounds like pure horror.
Is there any chance that someone happens to know what the names are of either of these two buildings or where they are located?

Whats your experiences with wwoofing in the united states? would you recommend
>>1132599
I wouldn't recommend it at all -- if I want to work as a farm hand, I'd want to get paid.
To each his own though, of course, enjoy your labor.
>>1132618
but they feed you and give you a place to stay
Why not try it? Whats the worst that could happen, just do it for a week or so.
I am so frustrated. I booked a flight one morning for the following morning. Then when it come to that morning, I couldn't figure out how to take my flight and check-in at the airport because it didn't say which airline I was on, and nobody would speak in English to me at Medellin airport. So I missed my flight check-in time, then refused the $100 skip the queue thing because it seemed like I should get a refund, because I actually hadn't received my e-tickets yet - I got an email saying I had to confirm my credit card details or something and only managed to do that the morning of the flight I think it was, or maybe the previous night, then only got a confirmation email an hour after the flight had departed with e-tickets.
The travel company said that they sent the email in a timely manner. And now when i check back my email dates they show: My email shows that on Thursday June 16 at morning I got the email of 'payment of book' in the subject which says 'Once the payment is confirmed, we will issue your electronic tickets and we will send them to you per e-mail.' then I got my confirmation with e-ticket at June 17 morning. It says my flight is on June 18th in the morning. I don’t even get how that could have worked relative to my time perception. The *next* day - from an email I didn't have. I don't know if my phone and internet connection collaborated to undermine me or what! This is too difficult for me to work out, but now I have lost a bunch of money to this. I really want to go home to Australia.
>>1132571
next time, book your flight back home in advance. even in todays modern world with internet and all, (sometimes) it still takes banks 2-3 days to transfer money, as an adult you should know that. and without a confirmed money transfer, who is going to issue you a ticket? seriously get your travel know-how straight.
also you shouldnt expect everyone to speak english, especially when youre in colombia.
dont look at things too negatively, you just have to stay a couple days longer so make it worthwhile! its easy to blame yourself and others for your misfortune, instead you should see it as an opportunity. being ill-tempered wont better anything. hope you'll be able to get home without further troubles! enjoy your stay!
You sound like me, I always fuck something up.
>>1132571
>home to Australia.
latinamerican here
medelin isnt so small, im pretty sure some airport staff speaks english, just try your best to speak humm slow and clean, or should i say, the mid-atlantic english accent, or simply just a new york / american accent.
australian and some british or welsh accent is hard as fuck for me who watch movies in english all the time, imagine for some badly paid airport clerk who only had a 12-months english class
