>he likes fit
I got some bad news for you

>>1121025
The fact he told me that he uses 4chan really changed my perception of him. Like he says he likes to workout and stays fit and that he's not into adult material.
Well, back then he seemed more innocent
I really dont know what to do. He never flirted with me or anything but I just gave me his number...
Please help. My blood is as cold as ice now

>>1121027
what country are you going to? do you even know if you'll go to where he lives or a completely different part of the country?

Yes. It's very, very common and I've done it on my first flights, too.

I'd recommend checking out the airport you're flying into on this website:
http://www.sleepinginairports.net/

The obvious things are to find a comfy bench that's not occupied in a well populated area, secure your valuables and don't oversleep for your flight in the morning. That's it really.

>>1120949
of course it is allowed
there is even a movie about it:

Thank you, I really appreciate this

Russia is offering free land to those who can settle in the far East.

>>1120933
Apparently they are only giving it away to Russian citizens :/

>>1120918
Republic of Georgia was giving away farms for a while, but I'm not sure how easy it would be to live off the land there--I believe they were hoping skilled farmers would be able to rehabilitate agricultural land with low productivity.

Don't worry about time or money. I'm writing a story and am in dire need of some inspiration.

>>1120490
then why start in Turkey?

>>1120489

I hitchhiked from London to Istanbul. If you don't have any time constraints, I'd suggest something along the lines:

>Istanbul
>Sofia
>Belgrade
>Sarajevo
>Dubrovnik
>Ljubljana
>Venice
>Milan
>sweep through Austria, maybe see some cities
>Munich
>Berlin
>Cologne
>Amsterdam

Don't know if that's good or not. You could go up through Romania and Hungary and the Czech Republic on the way to Germany as well. It just depends on what you're interested in doing. I basically suggested the reverse route that I did. I don't know if it would be practical for cycling, especially when you have to pass up through the Alps in Italy, Austria, and Germany.

Giving a partial answer to my own question here.

Finding some tickets, BKK to Addis return, for 490 euro or so, via ITAMATRIX.

Funnily enough they are with Kenyan Airways, stop over in Nairobi, but getting a ticket BKK to Nairobi is more expensive.

>>1120479
Research routes flying through the Arabian Gulf. I know those count have cheap flights to Thailand, with all of the Ethiopian expats, I imagine there may be cheap flights to there, too.

>>1120624
Gulf Air, Etihad, Oman Air, and the other national airlines of the region

disappointment/an umbrella

>>1120129
>>1120157
>disappointment/an umbrella
That sounds accurate.

I didn't bring any of those things, but I took them away as souvenirs.

Expect to get shouted at if you stand on the left side of an escalator at a busy station.

Also, expect to lose years of your life if you set foot near Oxford Street, it is one of the most polluted places on earth.

I would spend half a day in perugia. There is the most delicious sandwich maker there. and also a couple of bars with nice scenery and coffee. Great for a relaxed lunch

>>1119283
Noted, looks solid.
Thanks for the suggestion.

If you're going to Perugia, no reason not to take take along a towel and swimming trunks and spend an afternoon at Lago Trasimeno. This depends on when you're going, of course. Go to San Marino. It's meme-tier, but at least you'll be able to say you've been there. I'm Italian and I haven't ever. Assisi is also nice, but kind of small. Ravenna is supposed to be nice, but it's just on the outskirts of your red line. Where will you be staying, exactly? Will you have a car, or will you use just trains and buses?

>>1118529
I'ma be in yurop from June 8th to July 13th. I'll stay with my half-uncles until July 1st. After that I have no plans.

I'm a brazilian dude, 22 years old. I like people more than I like slaving at jobs, so I chat more than I work. I prefer sports stuff to the 7 arts.

Can u tell me more bout you and Venice?

>>1118529

If you haven't already booked your lodging. I highly recommend Generator Venice hostel. I stayed there over New Years and it was awesome! Very well maintained, friendly staff, pretty good location too.

Don't ever visit Venice in the summer unless you are an idiotic tourist from Germany, UK or USA who wants to pay 3x prices for everything and only see other tourists in the whole city

My hunter friends go to Poland very often to hunt (we're Danish). I don't know much about hunting personally, but the country itself is quite nice.

>>1118200
Pole here and I can't say I'm surprised. There's quite a few hunters here, but more importantly, it's a hobby ridiculously overrepresented among politicians. This results in a strong lobby with a keen interest in keeping the law hunter-friendly.

>>1118169
I know that the Czech Republic and Switzerland are both pretty gun-friendly. I don't know about hunting laws there, but I know that their gun laws are a lot looser than anywhere else in the EU, I believe.

Most interesting nature is in the north east, but that's not really accessible so I suggest you spend your time in the southern parts.

Almaty is the best for a mix of nature, city and night life and a good point to do day trips from.

Check out the mountains behind the city (pic related) just a short bus trip from the city center, make a trip to Charyn Canyon, (the Grand Canyon Jr) , visit some of the lakes, eat some horse and drink some kumyz at the green bazaar and get drunk with some Kazakh men in a beer/shashlyk garden (bonus points for slav squatting.) Those are all the things off the top of my head.

I never stayed there, but Hostel Loco is run by a pretty chill dude I met in the mountains. I'm sure he can point you to some interesting shit.

Only spent a few days in Astana, but it felt a bit empty and alien to me. Large empty highways, little to no action on the streets... Spend a day there before your flight to check out some funky architecture.

There's not much touristy stuff to do, and the people don't really understand service or speak English, but there is a lot of fun and adventure to be had if you go in with an open mind.

I lived in Almaty for a year and really enjoyed it, so ask away anon.

Aralsk is the former port of the Aral Sea, but the Soviets fucked up by draining most of it. Now it's creepy as fuck, like a desert with decaying buildings, but people still live there. Look for the abandoned airport.

From Aralsk, you can see Vozrozhdeniya Island, or just "Voz." It has an abandoned Soviet base there which was used to test biological warfare on. The official story is that all of the smallpox has been removed (there were several large rusting tanks), but many people doubt it; People have found piles of petri dishes abandoned on the ground.

Then there's "The Polygon," in Semipalatinsk. Wear garbage bags over your shoes and a dust mask, and burn your clothes after. It's where the Soviets tested nukes.

Kazakhstan is weird as fuck like this. A few months ago, there was a giant herd of deer that simultaneously died, almost going extinct, although no cause was found. They were burned and then buried. Then there's a city in the central north, downwind from former mines or test sites, where the people seem to become zombies. They get violent, demand sex, have to be restrained, and lash out at people for no reason (it's only affecting a small group of people and might be psychological, but the government was investigating.)

Weird, weird country.

www.google.com/flights

I always use that for the best rates

>>1120347

Dunno, but that does happen.

When I was booking a flight back to the United States from India, I noticed that, when I had my fares set to INR and my country as India, I was getting rates which were at least $100-$200 less than when I had USD and the United States set as my currency and country, respectively.

>>1120361
>>1120347

Have you guys considered that perhaps it converts the currency based off IP?

Colmar is very nice. Basel is nice too.

>muh Strasbourg is very nice as well

>>1120375
I've spent a lot of time in Switzerland and would prefer to check out France for this trip, but cheers m8.

We've gotta choose one, and are trying to figure out which is nicest/most interesting. I'd really like to enjoy some Burgundian food, good wine, beautiful architecture, and frankly spend time in a quieter French city.

Dijon is nice and can be visited in a day.
If I were you I'd rent a car and spend another day in the vineyards between Dijon and Beaune and in Beaune itself (nice historical center, with a beautiful Notre Dame church and a 15th century hospital).
Then on a third day you could either take a train to Auxerre, still in Burgundy which perfectly fits your description of a quieter French city with beautiful architecture. It has a very well preserved medieval center and two major gothic churches (St Germain Abbey and St Etienne Cathedral), with wall paintings from the 9th (the oldest in France) and 11th century.
