Palma de Mallorca has a district that's more or less only LGBT.
Look up Plaça Gomila.

>>1112443
Amsterdam.

The places I knew about are closed now but I'm sure there are new ones.

Play safe, anywhere that is a melting pot of horny travellers is going to be STD central, you can get strains of everything from every corner of the globe.

Madeira is the LGBT hotspot in Europe. You can get a Ryanair flight out there for like 50 euros return

>>1112294
Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen

Usual pish. Inverness is quite nice.

Get a good jacket, the summers consist of heavy rain and the winters of even heavier rain.
>socializing
Don't be an autist and you'll be fine, even then the type of humour means even the oddest of people fit in. Just go to the pubs near your uni with a few people from your course and you'll be fine.

As for stuff to see, historical stuff up north, shopping and stuff in the cities as usual. Hope you enjoy it son.

You sound brown.

If you are brown what you want to do is head up to Nairn, just up the coast about a 10-15 minute drive. Look for some council flats, and some young people sitting around outside drinking buckfast, a tasty Scottish beverage, and a trademark for Scotland's welcome comity. Juts head over and say hello, and they will sort you right out.

Israel is also secretly a sex tourism hotspot. There are brothels EVERYWHERE in Tel Aviv and prices are around $100 a bang with some Russian Jewess qt 3.14s.

>>1112168
>Jewess

Lol do you think these blood sucking parasites would sacrifice one of their own?

They enslave Russians because non jews are considered subhuman in their culture.

The airport is trying to find out if you are actually a tourist, can leave on your own cognition and funds, and if you'd get into trouble or create trouble while there, political trouble. They have known enemies, so they might ask you more than other countries. What you want to do is be ready and able to hand over an email and facebook password, and answer normal questions that any normal person could easily offer in response. Why would anyone worry about that? You shouldn't.
Open-ended and vague travel isn't typical. Most people coming to this country have tours and packages because there so SO much to pack in during typical vacations. So, if you aren't staying with family and friends, you'd have a pretty good idea about your first 5 days of course. You'd have reservation and confirmation, and some itinerary stuff printed out and ready to show. When I'm traveling somewhere high season and I need to keep organized, I copy paste links and slap those addresses and reservations and plans into my google calendar, and then simply print out my weekly schedule. Done.

They're not really happy with Jordan trips or seeing the Palestinian sides of Israel plans, makes you look kind of sympathetic or sketchy. You should be interested in Bethlehem, and that's about it. That should help you to know.

The thing to keep in mind is that you aren't really personally being targeted or grilled, but that there is a higher protocol of steps that makes sense because it actually works. Being asked the same question more than once is their job. Be honest and straightforward. This is one of the safest countries in the world because it has to be. El Al is probably the safest airline as well.

For sites to see, I really do suggest a guidebook' list is long. If you plan to have cell coverage, it's a pretty tech country with great guides online for everything from restaurants to things to do in the evenings. I liked the garden at Yad Vashem.

Spanish audiobooks, start at 0.75x speed and increase. Once you hit 2x speed you're nearly at native speaker.

>>1111902
YouTube, watch Spanish videos, just listen to it as much as you can.

Don't eat sea food at the night markets if you don't want parasites as they often don't match health and safety standards. Watch out for pickpockets are what I can remember from the top of my head.

Not all Great Wall trips are created equal. Some of them are barely more than scams in which you'll be forced to stop off along the way at jade factories and Chinese medicine clinics (i.e. quacks who believe in magic). Also some destinations are overcrowded to the point of not being fun in tourist season. The "highest point" at Badaling, being the classic example. Do your research to make the Wall trip fun and not a bummer. I prefer the "wild wall" sections myself.

Beijing nightlife is quite interesting in some parts of the city. It's been a few years for me now, but as I remember it, if you're college age or not long out of college, check out Wudaokou. Otherwise, Sanlitun Village and the Guloudajie area have some interesting options. You should make sure you go out.

>HK
Totally different atmosphere to Beijing. Walking around the city just looking at stuff is fun. All the old colonial architecture is awesome.

Check out the Tiananmen Square massacre memorial museum, too. It may not be there much longer, or at least close for a while as it moves, so get in there while you can.

>>1111501
Good luck. Dallas is a sterile, yuppie sprawl. Denton has some appeal. Deep Ellum in Dallas is alright. Fort Worth is better than all of them. It's hard to pinpoint anything specific to see. just bars.

>>1111521
In Dallas, though, you can go take apiss on Cowboys' Stadium... so that's fun.

What exactly do you mean northern TX? It's a huge state, so that could mean Marshall to DFW to the panhandle. Anyway, I've been all over every square inch, so I'm sure I could help out.

you're forgetting that fingerprints usually get taken in those situations. That's WHY they take fingerprints.

Depends on the country, I have heard immigration tell people when they get deported that if they change their name and get a new passport they can come back. I have seen it, in fact.

I've done this in Russia.

My name is Simon, I'm German. Now you can either pronounce that in German which renders as

or in English, as

Seoul and Tokyo I think are extremely convenient and easy to use. I see some people sometimes say that they are confusing to use because those systems are so big, but honestly I think those people are retarded. Its literally just straight lines

As somebody from the UK, I thought Paris had surprisingly cheap public transport. However the metro is scary as shit sometimes

>>1109978
Tokyo can be confusing if you're trying to get there the fastest or for the least amount of money. LIterally everyone uses an app to determine that. But if you're a tourist and not concerned whether you get there 10 minutes earlier or if you spend an extra 150 yen its dumb easy. With very rare exceptions every single subway stop is reachable by at most 2 transfers. Its just find where you are, find where you're going and find the matching colors that come out of both.

I lived in Toronto for 6 months. I liked the city just fine, the people were very friendly. Overall though I think the city was pretty boring. There's literally nothing unique about Toronto.

Lived in Toronto for almost 4 years. This guy doesn't have a clue.

There is lots to do in Toronto - look up Torontoist, BlogTO, etc for things from food festivals, concerts, good bars (Pravda is a fav of mine, old soviet styled bar with great vodka and decent prices).

Kensington Market is always good in spring/summer. The distillery district is a great time with patio bars and museums/niche stores.

If you want a younger crowd (and a more party scene) hang around UofT, the Annex, Bathhurst and College St, Yonge and Eglington (Yonge and elibible).

The hockey hall of fame and sports teams of all flavours are located not far from the downtown core. If you want to escape the city for a bit, head up to the Beaches neighbourhood (called simply "The Beaches") - nice homes, beautiful parks etc, cool beaches. You can also head down to Lakeshore for the beach scene on the shore, country clubs, golfing, and outdoor concerts at Exhibition Place. Even a streetcar ride is fun I find, though I am somewhat of a transportophile.

If you want any more advice I can give you my email and really get into detail.

Good luck with your travels!

The soundtrack for the Orlando Bloom chick-flick "Elizabethtown" is full of good travel music for the road, as much of the movie is thoughtful and deep shots of driving down the road.

Not recommending the movie, really, just the music.

a quick look at AirAsia, a round trip from MNL to BKK would cost 250 USD in mid June

>>1108917
That seems oddly expensive for Air Asia

Going with daddy, Cebu Pacific costs only about 400$.

3. Should I tell my parents about this? I get the sense that they will not like this (every parent had a strict no-online-friends rule for their younger kids). I posted about this issue on a forum with an older target audience and someone replied how I should stay safe by only meeting my online friend online. Many people liked that post. My parents are also if a very bad mood and they've recently been talking about divorce - the last thing they want to hear is their daughter meeting some online friend in Spain.

I'm a dude, but IME Spanish guys can be a little aggressive/touchy feely, but not rapey, and not even willing to put in a a whole lot of effort in general. Maybe it's the culture, siestas, or prostitution.

How old are you?

Are you sure he is real, have you interacted with him via webcam, etc?

It's fine if you meet at a public place, it's Spain, not El Salvador or something. You meet him, you see if he's okay, you leave with your friends. If you don't feel comfortable being alone with him then don't, it's a matter of common sense, really.
Depending on your age I don't think telling your parents there's "a guy you've met online" is important, unless you decide to go out with him alone or something, and even then you don't need to mention the online part to get them more worried than they should be. And of course you should tell your friends.
Of course this applies only if you're sure the guy is real. This seems common sense to me, but I'm a guy and never really had to worry about things like that, but if you're a girl, especially under 18 (hypothetically speaking because you can't be here if you're under 18) and you met a guy online...of course it can be something you don't expect.
Just use your head and be with your friends when you meet him.

It's quite expensive. If you want a full meal for breakfast lunch and dinner then you're looking at about 150kr a meal at the minimum if you go somewhere. If you want a little more as to not starve you're definitely looking at something like 225-250kr a meal at a better place.

lot of people pack lunch here. the brown bag tradition thing.

What he said is right. If you go to fast food like BK and McD its around 10-15 Euros a meal.

Pack lunch at home/hotel if you want to save money on eating.

>Best places to go
Connemara, Ring of Kerry, Dingle, Tallaght.

>places to avoid
The Northside.

>things to try
Traditional Irish music in a pub, beer,

>food to try
not a lot going in the way of traditional irish food, mostly potatoes, stew, colcannon.

>How not to look like a completely retarded burger fag
keep trap shut. Nobody wants your opinion on your heritage or Irish politics

Try to avoid Dublin, it's very expensive and fully of scumbags(chavs).

A visit to Moyross Estate in Co. Limerick is a must visit, beautiful place. And it's free.

Enjoy your stay.

If I was taking my grandmother on a trip there, here's what I would do if I had 6-10 days...
Book my flights to fly into Dublin, Fly out of Shannon. (use Delta)
Spend 1.5 days in Dublin then pick up a rental car (something high enough to see over hedges to keep grandma calm from the near head-on collisions on blind curves) and do the drive vacation for the Southern half of the country.
In Dublin, I'd do the cathedral visits, Guinness Tour, live music or literary pub stop or two, see the Book of Kells.
Then I'd go South, give her a visit to the Powerscourt estate, Wicklow mountains, St. Kevins in Glendalough. Sleep somewhere like a B&B nearby with a pub dinner, and into the car the next day, rinse repeat. Have a great GPS that talks so you feel free to veer off the road at the historical signs and see some ruins and find your way back again with no maps or signs to worry about.
Highlights are a series of choices along the way. Kilkenny is def overnight, as is the Dingle Peninsula. Jameson Distellery is can't miss near Ardmore with a cool cliff walk. I enjoyed the Ballinalackin Castle (really a country house) on the Doolin, Aran Is. and views. Spas nearby as well as the Cliffs.

Duolingo.

I'll check that out man, thanks!

The library, actually. Check out a set of audio language CD's, rip them to your computer, put the files on your phone, and listen to them when you're driving or whatever. I'm learning Spanish right now. Another thing I did, I changed the language on my PS4 to spanish. I play a lot of Battlefront and I can play that game no matter what language is on the screen. I've picked up tons of words that way. I also use spanish at the ATM, or at the grocery store self-check.
Also try to watch TV in the other language. Or listen to music. You gotta immerse yourself.
