Southeastern part under influences of Asiatic cultures especially.

Give me some examples of interesting things to see and do in Russia. My impression of the country is that it's largely just cookie-cutter communist shithole cities apart from Moscow and st Petersburg,

Literally nothing.

Research how to leave Nuuk

Anyone seen that episode of Departures where they went to Greenland? Seemed like the ninth circle of hell

Cool term bro where'd u get it, /b/?

Also get a back pack, cheap ones on amazon if u can't afford a good brand like deuter, osprey, Gregory, etc. go to a reputable store such as REI where u know nothing they sell is shit and get the products they offer.
U can get some stuff off amazon like a backpacker stove for 8$ off amazon is what I use.
Get some hiking boots not work boots, Iv also used athletic shoes on over night trips before getting my boots. Also look in to a backpack tent or a hammock, would be cheaper. Don't really get ur question. U but the stuff u need, millions of articles and websites that say what u need. Don't buy an being stuff u don't need.
Also California is great for backpacking or hiking.

This thread is already shit. Someone make a proper fucking thread.

Nara is a meme city

The Narrows is amazing. Look up the subway as well.

The subway is Awesome as fuck, look it up, you wont want to miss it.

Also I prefer Observation Point to Angels Landing, similar hikes, and Angels Landing may be a bit more treacherous, but the view at the end of Observation Point is better, its one of the best views ive ever seen after climbing a mountain, Angels Landing view will be similar but not as jaw dropping as Observation Point.

No words for looking down that canyon.

goddamn it my bad didn't mean to post a flipped image

Go to "Dalby Stenbrott" and swim, then head east to "Österlen". Kivik is pretty nice.

>>1117609
I would recommend visiting Öland but I'm not sure what their gypsy situation is like at the moment.

>>1117609
Country gets more beautiful further north, but people more scarce.

Personally I prefer mid-midsouth area. Your map says "Falin, Rättvik, Mora, Leksand". This area is packed with tourist shit and lakes to go camping.

Population is alright but most will be racist rednecks wherever you go.

Guam. When I was in the military. I killed a giant tree snake.

Not much to see really. It's a shithole island.

Probably Kazbek in Georgia. Drove there in the middle of a huge snowstorm and there were thousands of trucks standing at the side of the road waiting for the weather to clear up, very surreal.

We also drove past the South-Ossetian border on our way there. Was strange

I've been there it's not far from home, but I don't really know what's the fastest to get there considering I just hiked
I guess you don't have a car since it's the easiest way to get there, isn't there transportation to the village next to it ?

>>1124522
>>1124535

I checked it would seem there are buses that go to the village but depending where you are it might not be of any help

>>1124537

I am coming from Finland. Now the cheapest way seems to be taking a flight to Paris, take a train/bus from Paris to nearest whatever town and hike to Montsegur.

Sweat is stinky. Bugs love the byproduct of the bacteria produced in sweat. In fact food odor is so similar to stinky cheese, bugs will land on cheese in studies.

They love people who excrete uric acid (drinkers).
But they've known for a while CO2 attracts too (avoid exertive exercise at dawn/dusk peak biting times).

Stay clean more often than usual, shower off perspiration like you would immediately post-workout at home. Prevent it in the first place when possible by doing the most active stuff before the heat of the day or when it cools later.
Actual bug killer on the clothing itself, and the mosquito net if using!, your skin exposed gets safer repellent, but garment color apparently doesn't matter anymore, but I always heard dark was worse.
WP just quoted some articles about Consumer Reports repellent ratings, and i was pleasantly surprised to see two alternatives to DEET. Try them out.

Personally, I think cotton gets cleaner each wash than synthetics, even wicking ones. No bacteria memory is a good thing. Feel free to use bleach.

Thanks for all the info, what would you recommend when comparing long-sleeve versus short-sleeve for shirts and pants?

>>1123978
Not him, but long-sleeve for sure. After a day or so, you'll get used to it and not sweat as much as you did before.

People from the southeastern US

There are genuinely nice people in every country. You're a fool for generalizing entire countries with many millions of people.

this, a council estate in Hull is a bit different to thornton le dale for example

aw, fuck man
a few days in london is like... going to an art exhibit and looking at one piece of art at random. Do you know what part of London you want to be in? Don't go south of the river, it's not very good down there. Try and seek out some stuff to do that's specifically interesting to you. Museums are good, if that's your thing. You can spend all three days at the British Museum if you want. You can go shopping, which is actually pretty cool if you find some groovy shops like Forbidden Planet.
Are you taking trains from london to amsterdam to barcelona? That's quite a bit of train time, I'd recommend getting Ryanair flights to reduce your travel time. Trains can be fun, but when you have so little time you'll get bored and wonder why you're spending so much time staring at trees going by.

>>1123874
No we are flying between all cities: 4 full days in London flight to Amsterdam the next day; fly to barcelona 3 days later; flight back to london 5 days after; and finally two nights in London before hoping back across the Atlantic. So we will have about six days in London.

So any tips on barcelona and the beaches/ramblas?

>>1123681
>What should I know about it?
You're crazy.

I was actually planning to visit North Korea as well but the current situation has gone from bad to much worse. I'm sure I'll hear about your hard labour sentence in the news soon.

You should go to SK first so you can enjoy some gorean "barbecue" before your future diet of grass and prison rats.

>>1123681
I'd advise against that. Foreign tourists are arrested and imprisoned there consistently and without notice. It's not worth it.

FKK Oase.

>>1123306
Too expensive.

Please tell me you fly business class at least else you got ripped off by 1k even if it's just 2050

Ticket + hotel
Tickets loose are 1180 (KLM)
Hotel (Hotel Yotel NYC) was around 1300
So togheter they were cheaper on KLM package deals

>>1123167
Took me about 2 minutes to find a 650€ round trip flight from Amsterdam to NYC and a 7 night entire apartment Airbnb in Manhattan for 450€.

Both Brugges and Brussels are pretty boring and shit. I dont get why they attract so many tourists.

Go to Ghent instead.

>>1123241
What's there to do at Ghent

>>1123328
Bruges and Bxl are just the normal tourist path.
Genth is of the usual path & pretty vibrant city. It's ok.

I'm a big fan of Mechelen for culture/during the day. And Leuven is by far the best place to go out (avoid june-august & december-january)
