The Azerbaijanis love their nightlife. There are several clubs and discos throughout Baku. Don't make fun of their goverment or so on etc. They'll either arest you or kick you out. For do's though, you can always visit many of their skyscrappers and arenas. It's a corrupt and not so interesting nation. But, worth a visit if you want to see something diffrent.

>>1131556
I've been in Azerbaijan for two months, but I lived at the other side of the country, in a small town, so I didn't get to spend too much time in Baku.
From what I've seen, the center is very beautiful and clean, a lot of historical places to be found and a sweet combination with modern architecture.
In terms of nightlife, there are a lot of bars and clubs, people really hang out a lot there.
But the farther you move from the center, the worse it gets, there's a stark contrast between rich and poor, clean and dirty.
Also, if you're going to live farther from the center, take a taxi back to the hotel, the metro closes as 12.

Hope I've managed to help.

if you just want, there are better places to go to, but Bakü is fine too I think.
I've had a several Azerbaijani friends, and when I asked them to what to do as a tourist, they said that I should travel to other cities besides Bakü, like Gence.
If you can get to Iran (visa-wise), I'd also travel to Tebriz. Tebriz is the historic capital of Azerbaijani people, and is more important to see as a tourist in my opinion. Although I doubt the night life is as lively in Tebriz as it is in north.

I mean, these questions.. what do you expect here? What should you know? About what? I don't know. Why don't people put a minimum amount of effort into creating these threads?

As to:
>What shouldn't I do as a European
They don't like Russians a lot there. Then again, they're keeping the Gori museum open because it draws loads of tourists.

Enjoy the lubio and kachapuri. I'm jealous, wanted to go to Georgia for a while.

>>1131288
When you're drinking at a table with Georgians, cause it's gonna happen, don't drink your wine or cha cha before the tamada( toast maker) finishes his toast, or else you'll be punished by having to take another. Beer is totally cool to sip whenever. And when the time comes to make a toast, don't make a little shitty one like, "to tmy poor mates who have to work today while I'm getting pissed!", it must come from the heart.

Good luck, hope you have a strong tolerance.

Nest hostel in tbilisi is cool, and so is the restaraunt racha in the same neighborhood. Georgian food at georgian prices. No english, so point to things and have fun OP.

Ooo, try a plum sauce chiken there, it's devine.

Turkmenistan is the one like North Korea isnt it? Might be a bit hard to get in there and probably not much freedom to just do your own thing once youre inside.
Other than that I can only say Im jealous and eagerly wait for a time when I have enough money and time to do it myself.
Good luck!

It will be the hardest visa to get. I will not have to have the Kazakh and Kyrgyz visas (which I'm very satisfied with), Tajik visa will be pretty easy to get. The problem will start with Uzbek and Turkmen visas, although I have heard of some people who did it even over the Internet (embassy in Vienna).
I also thought about deferring the journey on behalf of other, cheaper ones (getting three visas will cost shitloads of money, at least as it is in my opinion).

Generally my goal is to visit every country in the world, possibly with as little flights as possible in journeys a few months long

>>1131185
To get a Turkmen visa you need an "inviation" of some sort from Turkmen citizens. I have a Turkmen friend, he offered to invite me and have me in his parent's home, but the visa is still 200~ dollars and I don't think it is worth it. All the important cities are in Özbekistan except Merv.

Wow, why have I been ignoring Portugal for so long? Perhaps it's not just a poor man's Spain.....

it's often cheaper to buy point to point tickets and skip on getting an eurail ticket, saved myself £50

>>1128164
The interrailling ticket means you don't have to get specific trains, I'd much rather fork over the extra bit of cash to not have the hassle of catching specific trains, but I suppose it really depends on the person.

Also to OP, I don't think you'll get away with it but I could be wrong.

Flights from LAX to any western europe city should be under a grand. Look into klm (amsterdam), air france (paris),.. Dont use SFO, more expensive.

So I have to drive from Vegas to Los Angeles then get on a plane?

>>1131919
>Greyhound/carpool/hitchhike/etc from Las Vegas to LAX
>Fly with NorwegianAir for 219€ from LAX to London/Oslo
>Fly with NorwegianAir for 219€ from London/Oslo to LAX
>Greyhound/carpool/hitchhike/etc from LAX to Las Vegas

I'm in the same state of mind, but I want to live in a foriegn country. I have $80k saved up, where would an American be welcome, or at least tolerated lol?

Here is mine. I got a instant camera for my birthday and didnt really know what to do with it.. So i took it while travel (i usually dont really take pictures in general) but then.. I got thoss small pictures to cary around and i thought it would a good idea to keep notes about people that i take pic with.. At least to remember what i have done with them cause after few month, it can be confusing.. So i bought a random notebook and here it is. Funny story about the people i meet.

What do you out in yours ?

Moleskin can be a good choice, it seems solide. Mine is very poor but it works.. !

What the fuck is this gay shit, are you guys women?

>>1131776
the natural history museum and the british museum in london are worth visiting that shithole of a city all on their own, if you want nightlife i recommend phonox in brixton

Budget?
Personal interests?
Time spent in each city?

Help us out, mate.

visit Bristol

I'm into food, alcohol, art, architecture, and the outdoors.

>>1131774
November means the Alps are a no-go, or at least not for climbing or hiking.
Ehm, Toulouse-Nice-Torino-Genova-Bologna-Venezia-Wien-München/Prague-Berlin?

>>1131777
France is famous for good food and whine so you picked a good starting point. Germany is famous for beer and got food as well. So this should be easy. You will also fine art and architecture on your way. Outdoors depends on weather.

Clearly the majority of you Brits don't.

>>1131668
don't ever fucking reply to me again.

yes it was a bad idea

>>1131655
"Europa league"
You mean the first qualifying round of about 4 before its even remotely the Europa League?

>>1131657

Fuck yeah.

>>1131655
Hiddens gems? You can walk to every single place in the country 5 times in about half an hour.

or a more direct question:

Is it possible to drive for most of this journey? I'd like to experience more of the non-major attractions, plus maybe stop at random towns along the roads.

>>1131619
I enjoyed architecture in prague

>>1131627
No sorry we didn't invent roads in Europe yet

>>1131597
Pretty much everything.

>>1131597
Pretty much this - >>1131600

So, what sort of stuff do you like to do? What interests you.

>>1131604
Clubbing, shows, bars, etc.

I just recently moved to the area and am very unfamiliar with it, so I decided to ask around in here.

>>1131552
I'd go to Nice.
I love France but I fucking hate Paris.

>>1131552
Paris is going to cost you a whole lot more than Nice. Don't underestimate the impact of monthly living costs.

>is it safe
I'm assuming you're American: yes, it is. Don't worry. Certainly don't cancel your plans if your options are in France! If your options were Karachi and Baghdad I'd reconsider, but you'll be fine. Remember: there are millions of people living there every day without any problems. /pol/ is not reality.

I myself had the opportunity of studying abroad (Italy) for either a semester or a year. Pick whatever opportunity allows you to go abroad for as long as you can. It sounds like a cliché, and it sort of is, but it broadens your mind in a way that no course at any university ever will be able to.

Hey man I'm a local in Paris. If you decided to go there I could help you get in touch with people and overall be helpfull.

The town is pretty indiferent toward its citizens and sometimes parisians are a pain in the ass to deal with.

I am from iran what u want to know. I might be biased but its a crazy concrete jungle.

I really want to visit Iran, but if I do, I get a travel ban to the US because they passed retarded laws last year.

>>1131817
>travel ban
Which ones? I was planning a RTW trip which combined Iran and the US.
And I thought relations were opening up.
