my wife and i chose cambodia over vietnam a couple years ago. absolutely no regrets. temples are amazing, modern history was jaw dropping. everything was cheap as hell, people were super nice.

food left something to be desired, imo-everything is lemongrass+palm sugar+fish oil. it was delicious for 3 days, then utterly disgusted by it.

if you pick cambodia take the betelnut tour to phnom tamao wildlife reserve. i shill the fuck out of it every cambodia thread i see because it was the highlight of a trip of highlights (and they provide a fucking phenomenal homecooked lunch-best meal of the trip). pic related.

I enjoyed the food overall in Vietnam much more than Cambodia. However the food by the beach in Cambodia was some of the best I've had. I recommend Vietnam though as far as food goes. Cambodia if you want drugs, sex, and tourism with some temples here and there.

Tits or gtfo

You will never run out of things to do and see in Hong Kong. It's awesome.

If you're single? Stack up on condoms. And viagra/cialis. Or just buy them at local pharmacies. HK is one of the easiest places in the world to get pussy of all kinds - paid for or not.

>>1125505
Married.

Should I watch my back there? Like how do they treat Americans?

>>1125505
Going to Hong Kong on tuesday, researched Lan Kwai Fong and the maid sunday so far.

Any other tips to get laid?

go to Letná beer garden, spend hot summer drinking cool beer

>>1125328
If you are going to Prague do not miss:
Charles Bridge in Prague
Old Town Square
Prague Castle
Žižkov Tower
Go around Kampa at night with some bottled beer
Prašná Brána near Náměstí Republiky
Vyšehrad
Náměstí Jiřího z Poděbrad

I wrote a ~12 page Google doc for a 3day trip in Prague complete with nightlife and ideal walking tours. Post a email and I'll send it to u

if you want to be poor, sure

Nope. Your 4 years of teaching and living abroad can't be applied to anything in the real world.

>>1125308
TEFL can be parlayed to a career as a legit school teacher, at international schools especially. But I don't think Japan has a market that. I think it's pretty much restricted to third world countries where people with money want their kids to have a quality Western education. Like the Middle East and South East Asia.

Why does everyone use fIip foanes?

What are your favorite foanes to use in here?

>>1124999
not everyone does.

but japanese like simple things, generally.

for a while it was illegal for kids to have smartphones, and t's still illegal for japanese stores to have communication apps for kids under 18.

until a kid reaches high schools it's uncommon for them to have a phone that can call more than their parents, school, or emergency.

If you want to get into bars and clubs, what ID do you bring? Passport?

I'm a local and I'm nice.
Expect February to be cold, wet and dark, but don't let that hinder you from seeing things.
I suppose you want to see the mermaid and the other historical sights. You could walk from Langelinje to the city center and stop along the way for the sights.
For food you could check out Papiroen, but stay away from Nyhavn, it's a tourist trap.

>>1124732
Seconding papiroen.
Nightlife is fun and active, maybe a little less accessible then the rest of Europe.

I fucking love Copenhagen in winter. Only downside is, as soon as it gets dark, it's a little dead, but it's so comfy under the snow.

Food is good, especially for high end dining. In general, I didn't get disgusted by anything, as I love seafood.

I'd move a day from Bratislava, Zakopane or Wrocław to Vienna, there's a lot to see there and you'll run out of time with just 2 days. Otherwise a solid list.

Bratislava: can be done it 6 hours
I think you could dedicate some days from Bratislava and go for Vienna for an extra day or get a train to Brno
Krakow: can be done in 2 days easily, I suppose you can visit the salt mines and concentration camps for the other 2 days while there

>>1123867
Zakopane is honestly not worth it unless you really like mountains, nature etc. Add a day or two to Prague or Vienna. Wrocław can be probably done in 1 day less as well, unless you want to go really in-depth.
Im not sure about Bratislava.
You could go visit Auschwitz while you are at it as well, although i am not wsure if it will fit what you want to do.

>>1123849
Not really greedy, but more frugal I'd say.
I'm so used to being a poorfag that I avoid spending as much as I can and end up missing out on a bunch of neat things when traveling.

>>1123849
That'snot greedy, that's cheap/being a cheapskate

>>1123849
Yeah, I can relate. I never bother paying for any beds and people usually feed me, so I used to spend not more than 10 euro a week or something. (Also, I'm always hitchhiking of course) I suggest you giving no fuck about this, OP

depends on airline. usually it is not a problem, but it depends on airline.

>>1126443
Ryanair? If so, they usually don't give a shit.

>>1126451
Ryanair? the same company that had a slightly smaller baggage check at one airport and so charged everyone to check baggage that fit in the checker on the outbound flight?

Ryanair are the cunts of airline travel

>literally skipping all of Colorado
Dude you gotta see at least the Front Range, Rocky Mountain National Forest, Cave of the Winds, Garden of the Gods, Mesa Verde (but not if you have a fear of heights), etc.. Colorado is absolutely based, and you should definitely hit it on your return trip

>>1125984
Spend a a few days in Canyonlands, there are a lot of nice hikes in the needles.

lou malnatis > giordanos > gino's east

I work at a Lou Malnati's, 2nd job as a driver.

IMO the pizza is better than Giordano's and Gino's East, and that's coming from a lifelong Chicagoan. If you don't want to spend a lot and like thin crust, Freddie's on 31st is good.

>>1125684
this is true.

Shit load of museums:

Orsay

Musée Gustave Moreau (Symbolist painter)
Jacquemart-André (a museum in a beautiful mansion)
Cognacq-Jay (same deal, beautiful mansion)
Carnavalet (museum about history of Paris)
Always check out churches

This is my favorite museum in Paris, I've rarely had to queue for more than 5 minutes to get in
www.musee-rodin.fr

It's pretty simple
>don't go to shitty favelas by yourself, it's pretty easy because there's nothing there but poverty
>don't walk around by yourself at night outside of commercial areas
>get businesses to order taxis for you if unsure

It's not the 80s anymore, plenty of tourists go to Medellin and are fine. Carry around $50 in a pocket in case you get mugged. Westerners don't get kidnapped unless in the countryside by FARC. Attracts way too much police attention for gangs. You don't sound like a chav who passes out at 2am in public, so you'll be ok.

What's up

I'm a European guy who lived in Colombia for a little over a year, visited Medellín a handful of times and I must say it is one of my favourite cities on the continent. The people are awesome, the parties great and the women beautiful. Not to mention the food! If you get the chance (who am I kidding, you will at every corner) definitely try a Bandeja Paisa. Fucking good.

Anyway, the security situation in Medellín has improved immensely in the past 15 or so years. While of course there are still problems of course you will have nothing to worry about as long as you use your head. Don't walk alone at night. Don't get too drunk. Don't get in cabs without a taxi pass. Etc.

A must is the free walking tour. It's four hours long and the best introduction to Colombia and Medellín that you could wish for. I've done the walking tour three times and the guides were excellent every time. If you do it shortly after your arrival you will have a great basis of knowledge about the city, the people and the country which will definitely improve your stay.
