Wow. Sounds brave and intrepid. But is it manageable?

>I want the budget to be less than 2,5 euro a day.
That's crazy. You will starve. Eastern Europe and Central Asia are cheap, but not that cheap.

Why is accommodation in Japan so expensive?

>>1130227
long term or short term? It's actually pretty reasonable outside of big cities

Are there any good podcast type learning resources to learn a bit of Japanese? I listen to Pimsleur during my commute currently, but I get the impression it's too formal. Something more conversational.

I'd say the nicest in my personal experience is Dallas, Texas. It's a very modern city, some cool shopping centers and stuff. They've got an in-n-out, if that tickles your fancy.

There's a fuck-ton of highways though, and they're ridiculously high up. I didn't drive, but I'd hate to.

WHY CAN PEOPLE NOT MERGE

WHY DID THEY NOT BUILD THE MERGE LANES BIGGER/LONGER

GEORGE BUSH TO 75 (towards plano) IS HELL

Dallas does have the galleria and northpark (malls) which are great. Some good museums (the crow/dma/nasher).

>>1129431
Minneapolis if you're going between mid May through mid October

>>1121003
what are some nice cities with sun and beaches and a nightlife which isnt for plebs?

>>1121008
in or around Europe pls

What should you do if youre stuck with zero money and nowhere to sleeo

>>1132453
>legally

Nowhere, wrong country

>>1132453
Nowhere it's illegal in France. But it doesn't matter, French women are cool. So long as you're polite, friendly, and they find you attractive you can just ask her if she'd like to have sex and they may say yes.

ok will try this
merci beacoup

It gets worse, to rent anywhere you have to go through these bullshit scam agencies where typically you provide first and last month's rent, plus damage deposit before signing "agency lease". Since NYC rent is crazy that's like $9-15,000 USD you have to come up with to get a tiny apartment.

A lof the people you see are either grandfathered into older, rent controlled buildings, live in coops, or live with a dozen roomates like in San Francisco where people split up living rooms into 2 bedrooms with sheets so they can all afford rent.

There are still some inexpensive hipster-y areas you can rent but need to go further out, or go into shitty tier neighborhoods full of crime.

>>1132273
I've often wondered this myself

>>1132275

Jesus christ, I am never moving to NYC.

Don't act like the british in Amsterdam. Be a bit catious and don't walk alone at night in Berlin, except maybe the really big and central areas taht still has people. Beware of scammers and pocket thieves in Prague, as well as scummy taxi drivers taking the long route. I think you should ask for a price before you get in.

It's like visiting USA and getting the impressions of a whole country from Gary, Indiana

include at least one scenic route

Scientific work, sure. Finding ruins and artifacts as well but it's very, very competitive.

yes, but it's probably not easy, you'll have to at least be a doctoral student and have an actual plan no one is going to give you money to go fuck around in the middle of the jungle

Yeah, how many ancient ruins have they found in the last couple months? A whole new Mayan city, another complex near Ankgor, a new site at Petra...
Unfortunately these were all done by people sitting in front of computers using satellite imagery. Get yourself a GIS degree.

Korea can do all the gritty drunk shit like in Japan but cheaper.

Korea is dirtier than Japan but better food.

I personally found Korean girls hotter than Japanese but Koreans can be bitchy.

I enjoy Korean nightlife more but Japan had much better day time activities.

You'll see plenty of drunk koreans at 6am esp in Seoul and Busan.

I have no idea about China.

>Korea can do all the gritty drunk shit like in Japan but cheaper.

Partying in Seoul is like same level of expensive as Tokyo. "Japan is really expensive" is such a tired meme. Seoul made the list of the most expensive cities for 2016, tied with Copenhagen and LA. Tokyo did not make the top 10.

Still beats Australia. Cheapest 6 pack is like $13 abs cheapest spirits are about $30 for 700mL

The shittiest thing about working is that you can't spend months at a time experiencing a place.

You can hit up all the tourist sites sure, but you won't be there long enough to make any real friends, you will barely pick up any of the language if you're lucky, and you won't find much if anything that isn't in a guide book. Studying abroad is basically living in another country and is far superior

While I have not actually studied abroad I have spent extended periods of time in a foreign place. I've also traveled through most of Europe and Central America.

There are obviously pros and cons of both. As you stated when your hanging around one place for a month or longer you begin to feel fully immersed in that place. You usually end up making lasting relationships with people you're staying with and end up getting a very genuine feeling for that particular place. The cons are that it's usually more expensive, unless your working, also if you end up not liking that place then you're pretty much stuck.

Just hitting up separate cities every few days is the same. Pros, you get to see more, fellow travelers seem to be more genuine/outgoing/fun because they know they will never have to see you again. Cons are youre moving around all the time which can wear you down and that qt you meet at the hostel that you walked in the park and held hands with for an afternoon you'll never see again because she has a bus to another city at 8 in the morning. Relationship are over before they even start most the time.

As for the studying part I don't know. But I get the feeling people don't go abroad to actually study seriously. I think a lot of people just like the idea of getting out of whatever shit-hole they came from for a few months.

>>1131997
the longer the study program is usually the better cost effective it is, if it's cheap like USAC
a summer program might cost 4-6k
one semester for a USAC program could be 5-12k and a year being 8-22k

I'm amusing you are going through your school what;'s the cost and what does it include?
All of this will effect if it makes sense for you to go.

not much history in new zealand. We have only been a country since 1840. new zealand is all about the onspoiled landscape in the south island - lots of hiking and scenic drives.

In general:
LoTR, Rotorua and Wellington in North Island.
South Island, check out Dunedin (Larnach Castle and that Albatross thing), Milford Sound and Queenstown. Most of South Island is for nature stuff though.

There's a few galleries and museums in Auckland that are nice though like Auckland Art Museum and the Domain. I really recommend selling the Maori culture to your mum if she enjoys unique cultures and shit

New Zealand is one of the few places in the world that native cultural customs is practiced in mainstream society. Def an interesting place culturally. Alas not much history tho considering its such a young country.

>Paying in japan of all places for a happy ending

Assuming you are white, just stand in the middle of shibuya and pick anything. Seriously it's that fucking easy

>>1131864
I've neved had one before. Yes i'm white, swedish, and I would never get one where the penalty if caught is Jailtime... Is it legal there?

Thinking you're a special snowflake and your stupid question deserves a thread of it's own, instead of posting this in the Japan general where all the other fat neckbeard weebs think they will be treated as gods over there. Mfw

DUDE WEED!! XD

It's a week. Just wait until you get home man, Jesus.

I'm on vacation man. I don't smoke in my neck of the woods. I'm here to have fun, not be mature. Faggot.
