If you are in Bavaria (near Munich) check out Chiemsee and it's islands. Also go for the castle in Neuschwanstein. It's not necessary to go inside though. Also check out Königssee if you're around. And make sure to not be in Munich during Oktoberfest or else you'll blow all of your money there for hotels and beer.

Check out some cool smaller spots like Strasbourg, Ghent, Trier, Plzn, Brno, Krakow, etc.

Touring, or this new style of bike that's coming about, adventure bikes. They're a little bit cooler than touring bikes, and can in some cases fit panniers to get all of your luggage in. Some are more road oriented like the Genesis Datum, some are a little more offroad capable, like the Ridley X-Trail. It depends a lot on what you're going to be doing as to what works best for you.

Personally I'd recommend a traditional steel touring bike. While they can be kinda heavy, they're very comfortable and usually come with a very wide range of gears, and are available in drop and flat bar styles. Ridgeback make a good range of tourers with a range of pricepoints. Genesis also make a very nice tourer if flat bars is more you bag.

>>1132518
Alright, so touring bikes are something like road bikes but better adjusted for carrying a luggage, am I getting it right? Can it serve as a city bike as well?

>>1132738
Yeah, exactly. You can use them as city bikes, but then I'd say most drop bar bikes are capable of that, within reason. They wont be as well suited as a singlespped or cheap beater because the look a bit more desirable, but that's about it.

I don't have a photo of it but I was in JFK airport recently and I just have to say it wasn't a pleasurable experience. It was cramped, hot and uncomfortable. The decor was outdated and people seemed unfriendly and irritable when waiting there. I'm from Indianapolis so I guess I have the privilege of having a decent airport to fly out of and maybe that impacted my opinion a bit but seriously JFK needs some work.

Has anyone ever been to Eindhoven Airport? I am supposed to get through customs and through the gate in about twenty minutes, is this do-able? I know that it's a small airport but want to make sure.

Met a guy in Montreal last year who had hitched there from Vancouver, Canadians are pretty friendly. Sustinence may be your problem.

Who cares? If you're not going back to the same restaurants just don't worry about it.

>actually being worried about the tip lmao
From which pussy nation are you?

Some restaurants will.
But some will only take the amount written on the final line in case the server is trying to change or add a tip amount (source formor tip worker). Anyways it was a honest mistake you can't do much about now, just move on and don't worry about it.

Hey /trv/, I'm going to a conference on lasers in Barcelona for a week. Science talk's over on July 29th. I've never been to Europe before, so I plan to take a week, departing Barcelona on July 30th. My return flight is out of Munich really early on August 8th.

General idea: end up in Munich two days early for the biergartens. I want to get a multi-country Eurail pass and see sights along the way.
1) I'm looking for three or four key sights that don't take me too far from the train.
2) Do you recommend Airbnb or hostels?
3) Ideas: Neuschwanstein Castle, Black Forest, something in Southern France/Northern Italy
4) I can spend a few hundred to ~$2000. I have my finances squared for Spain, France, Switzerland, Italy, and Germany.

TLDR
What the fuck am I doing?

Rail is super expensive.

Take EZ Jet, go anywhere in EU for dirt cheap

There's no reason for you to rail from Spain to Germany unless you make several stops on the way and take your time checking out wherever you are. Flying will be much cheaper.

Visit the Vatican. Book a timed ticket online beforehand so you won't have to queue in line.

Get a romapass for travel

OP,

I recently did this, except for 3 days instead of 7. Also from the UK (23)

I'd recommend 'the yellow' as a hostel to stay at. Lot's of young people looking to have a good time and make friends. Solid facilities and very affordable.

Your itenary should look to include these:
Colosseum
The Forum
Vatican
Catacombs
Day trip to Pompeii

Not sure re:Beaches

If you want the real catacombs experience with rapes and skeletons you should go to Paris catacombs
300km of tunnels at your disposal to get sacrified by a weird cult and your body forgotten somewhere under a random street

Yeah that would be interesting to go to one day with muh buddies, but until then ill have to settle with what i have back home. Ill post a couple of pic of the catacombs tomorrow, nobody went further from the part which is flooded for years already so it will be interesting atleast

>>1132138
totally worthwhile experience. one of the only things in paris worth waiting 4 hours in line for.

you see it personally and then still see shit on the internet that dwarfs what you saw in comparison and makes you want to go back. holy fuck

>>1132011
Let's spray blood and hate around YEEEEEHAAAAWWWW

Hopefully they will know better than you how to use it and then you will die <3

>>1132323
You sound mentally ill.

Are you talking internationally? If so, how the fuck would you get a gun in another country.

If you're a burger, check concealed carry reciprocity.

Checkout the syllabus online of a nearby uni. They usually post them. Basically just start with the essentials. Basic words and sentences that you use throughout the day. If you're looking for more detailed instructions check out an English for dummies or grammar book at your local library. Also, the internet. There really is no end to resources available to you, it's a matter of how you use them.

Fair point but I was looking for someone to point me to a guide that already existed

Bump for the hope that someone else has been through this type of situation before

Go to a gym, they probably have ad-hoc rates.

>>1131972
Also good luck. If it's a tech interview remember to talk out your thought process while you're coming up with the algorithm

>>1131953
Don't be cheap; if you are traveling for a interview you might as well do everything you can to be successful. If you have a car then stay at a cheap motel outside the city and get good rest and have a shower and then drive in the morning of.

Looking to get my license next year so also interested in this

>Have you guys ever done it ?
moved to another country & bought a motorcycle specifically for it, and been trying to do as much of it as i can for about a year now

>Got some tips or stories ?
1) if you wanna ride > 4-5 hrs per day, consider investing in an aftermarket touring saddle.
2) your bike's fuel economy may be drastically different on a country road compared to a highway. for me, its the opposite to a car (highway economy good in car, country twisties economy good on bike)
3) storage/stowage: best is what you can strap down onto the pillion. topbox is generally quite roomy & conveniently placed, but catches a lot of crosswind & can noticably raise centre of gravity. panniers can give excellent volume & god-tier centre of gravity, but will hamper traffic-filtering ability. hard cases (as opposed to collapsable/compressable cases) may allow contents to shift during cornering, which you quite surely do not want. backpack gives great weight control for cornering, but you better have well-designed straps for long-range comfort. try them all for your own load-outs & see what works best for you in which sorts of trips.

>How is it compared to normal travelling (ie : bus, plane, train) ?
hahahahahahahaha..... omfg....... the number of times i'd scramble to make a scheduled public transport service, then the service was delayed anyway, or when the unions called a few days' strike, or when security screening was retarded, or when the departure hall food/drink outlets were overpriced, or when your travelling companions are groups of obnoxious cunts, or when your (mainly bus) service gets stuck in traffic, or when """terrorists""" are out bombing central stations & terminals... get on your bike & head for the twisties, don't even consider looking back.

i'll try to check this thread when i can, ask me anything.

>>1131811 here again with a grain of salt for ya... the guys in OP's pic are going *way* harder than i ever have. so if that's what you are aiming at, leave my rambling shit in the dust & god bless you. i'm a weekend to week-long traveller through fairly well-developed regions, not a hardcore cross-continental voyager.

>>1131751
they dont have buses or trains?

>>1131770
You trying to get around a city, or get around the state? Getting around the state sans car is, to my mind more trouble than it is worth, Within most cities, you're fine.

As a local i love k town bbq

Katz's Deli. If you're in manhattan, it's a subway transfer or two away, but well worth the trip out. Get the Pastrami on rye and go directly to heaven
