Thailand for most cheap with modern infrastructure. Followed by Phillipines, then Vietnam. For checking out of the 1st world altogether Cambodia, Laos, Burma.

Not sure where Malaysia and Indonesia fall on 1,300/month.

Closet to the USA, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Belize. Is Costa Rica cheap? I hear Venezuela is cheap

also now as a foreigner in the current political climate it's pretty difficult to get a work permit when you are born outside the EU.

you can't just go to Germany and look/apply for a job there.

I would like to live in Thailand for a while.

Any expat or former in Thailand?

I visited auschwitz three weeks back. Although I'd really recommend it, please keep in mind that it is very popular and will be very crowded. In my opinion that really diminished the experience.

In Birkenau we were the only ones apart from a group of orthodox jews, though, as it was the end of the day. Maybe you could try to time your visit towards the end of the day. They only let you in for a certain amount of time (about 3-4 hours) so keep that in mind.

don't ask pesky questions, they don't like that

especially about the 'gas chambers'

you can also tell that a lot of the buildings have been rebuilt or are newer construction than WW2. if you ask them about this they will relent a little but say it was for the purpose of tourist safety

Old people can go to hostels without a problem. Just make sure to look at reviews in case it is some sort of designated party hostel.

>>1105331
From my experience, a lot of party hostels have a maximum age of 35.

Honestly, with hostels the cliché of 'you're only as old as you feel' does come into play. I've partied with people who were literally twice my age when I was 17/18. I've also hung-out with people who were 70+ years old and staying at the same hostel.

>>1105324
>is 31 too old for a hostel

of course not, jesus

have you ever actually BEEN to a hostel?

it's an all ages affair, literally there will be people old enough to be your gandparents hanging out in the common area

how else do you expect people to travel when they're old and on a fixed income?

>>1104465
You seem to be confused.

'Loud and drunk' is not the tourist stereotype.

The stereotypical tourist dresses in a ridiculous way, does not speak the language, has a map and takes pictures of everything.

>people that come to visit temporarily and spend their money in your country with minimal impact on your sense of culture are less preferable than people who want to stay permanently uninvited with no skills, completely different morality, religion, language, inability to integrate, and unable to contribute anything whilst being a permanent burden to your state and people

>>1104465

I do what I want, within reason. I make an effort to respect local cultures and customs without forfeiting my own. I basically just try to stay true to myself while opening up to foreign experiences. For example, I'm not going to wear a lungi in India to "fit in," as some people do, because I'm used to wearing pants and that's what I like having over my legs. However, I'm not going to do what I saw a lot of folks doing in Thailand, which is blatantly disrespect signs suggesting a certain attire.

In regards to food, dress, and behavior, I do my best to adapt to the standards of the country I'm in while expecting locals to understand that I'm a guest who has his own history, traditions, and expectations as well.

As bad as it can get with the homeless in most major cities in America I've never been to anywhere else in America where such a large percentage of the population just looked poor (not homeless) when I was in Denver. You go inside a place and its nice, but you walk around the city and everyone outside of it just looks so poor

>>1104368
prepar for the cost of living and what you should be ecpexted to pay. have enough money to last till you get a job and finally hope your not banking on a mmj job that is about 2 years late to the party. if that is the case just grow from current location unless surrounding state.

Fuck off we're full.

I've been there once for about 10 days. I'm from Australia so it's cheap as fuck to go.
Stayed a few nights in ubud up in the forestry mountains place, it was super quiet there, good for relaxing and shit. I went with the Mrs, it would be a good honeymoon place if you just want personal time.
We also stayed in Seminyak at an all inclusive resort, which was pretty expensive but was "all inclusive", food was amazing and felt pretty pimp swimming up to the swim-up bar and getting a few beers and a mojito for the misso, and not having to pay.
I guess it's be a good idea to let us know what kinda holiday do you want? Have you been to Thailand or Cambodia?

Get out of kuta/legian
Head north, lovina , amed , candidasa are all good for a honeymoon destination.

>>1104306
Sorry, got that wrong, we stayed in Nusa Dua for the all inclusive. Seminyak we just stayed at a nice hotel and got drunk at bars and shit.

It's alright.
I liked Quebec City more.

Wondering about this too, im going the second week of august

DR has better scene, as far as women, regular chicks and whores, but knowing some passable Spanish helps for the regular chicks.

>>1103318
Ive known immigrant women from both countries here in burgerland and i think they are both qt as fuck. Prices, safety, access to weed, and friendliness of the locals is more my concern. and yeah i know basic spanish

Why do people on /trv/ always assume that people want sex tourism information? Fuck off to RooshV or whatever, you faggot.

IIRC this proposal has been making the rounds for decades. So: yes, but it's never going to happen.

>The highway would then cross the Bering Strait to Alaska's Seward Peninsula, connecting to the tiny town of Nome. The plan doesn’t offer any details on how drivers will travel 55 miles across the ocean. Unfortunately, there is also no road connecting Nome any major expressway, so you might be better off using a dog sled.
you'd have to drill and fill concrete supports fucking deep to make it work. it'd cost trillions. never gonna happen

no.

but it doesn't matter, it's never going to happen. it wouldn't get enough use to make the cost worth it (though the "trillions of dollars" quoted in the article is a joke-interstates average $20m per mile, and this would be smaller, but through rougher terrain, plus some of it's presumable already constructed, so $20-40b seems more accurate, but still too expensive).

bering straight engineering is a bigger problem than cost, though-50 miles of storm-blasted, ice-coated, earthquake-rocked ocean. how do you bridge that? and now that i think about it, that'll put a helluva spike in the pricetag-probably $100-150b just for that stretch. ferries are not a year-round solution. and then another bridge over the english channel?

wizzair (ryanair?) to fly from krakow to prague, then from budapest to krakow.
i never ever used tour companies before, and i cannot imagine a situation where i would do that unless i suddenly woke up as a chinese upper middle class woman one day, so can't advise on that. i would just take the train between vienna and budapest for sure (railjet from westbahnhof to keleti), prague to vienna either train or bus.

i've visited all three of the cities dozens of times, ad so i could give you advice on what to do, but you didn't really give away your preferences, so....

prague - beer and old town
vienna - cafés and museums
budapest - food and spas

those are the keywords that i can think of. architecture and culture are pretty interesting in all three.

Bratislava is only an hour away from Vienna, you should check it out if you have the time; it's ok not the best of cities but at least you can say you've visited Slovakia as well

>>1100710
Prague airport is kind of farther out of the main city, train will be right there near old town. Budapest, same deal. Vienna, same deal. So, whether it is the most economical, it eases ground transfers somewhat to do a train. If you do fly, I'd fly into Budapest from Poland and do a reverse plan.

Your 3-city route is highly popular as a 10day itinerary trip, giving 3 days in each city, plus or minus the half travel days there. For my next trip, I'd suggest the following:
2 days, 2 nights Prague
Add 1 or 2 days for side trips, such as to Karlovy Vary or Hutna Kora. You can be completely done in Prague with 3-4 days. It's tiny and entirely walkable. Off the beaten path, the Lubkowicz palace is a must see.
2-3 days, 2 nights Vienna,depending on your love of museums and time of year for concert evenings, one of which you can do a half day to an overnight side trip to Melk monastery cruising the Wachau valley and possibly overnight somewhere along the way back to Vienna. Some people go to dresden or salzburg as closeby trips. You could easily kill a full 10 days in vienna if you are a shopper or lover of museums, but it is a pricey place for food, hotel, etc.
Budapest is the most spread out of the above cities, really a distinct 3 city area, and only 2-3 days is very tight, especially when sights close early. I'd suggest a good 4 days is minimum to explore it well. Can't miss: hospital in the rock, terror house, going to 2 spas (not just one), jewish quarter klezmer music restaurants, and some of the coffeehoues are as historical as in vienna and worth a stop.

I'm going to Thailand tomorrow, any tips? I'm trying to learn a few phrases but the language seems hard as fuck. I'm hoping there'll be a decent number of people that speak some english. Also, is it safe to drink tap water?
And any tips for surviving the 16 hour flight?

No only bottled water. Everyone speaks english and every one sees u like a walking money bagg. Dont be the stupid tourist who gets mugged and fucked over. Oh and everyone tries to fuck u over. Thailand got raped by white people. They only returning the favour while smiling. The country has gone to shit. South especially. And suck it up its only a flight pussy. Fuck i hate thailand oh so many traps

>>1089840
I'm gonna be mostly in the south (bangkok area, phuket) so I'm assuming it'll be pretty touristy. Are traps really that bad there? I was wondering how easy it is to hook up with locals.
How do you find places to stay? You must be doing it super cheap since you're not spending money on hostels.

I know some people that really love Russia and some that really hate it, but I think you would have a great time.

I heard something about the visa and you have to do something with that every time you go somewhere new and sometimes its a little annoying to visit multiple cities. Maybe somebody can clarify that for me

>>1105981
Ah thanks. I've heard about visa issues before. Definitely have to check it out.

What did people seem to like the most about Russia?

Volgograd, while having an amazing (and I mean amazing) museum, Rodina-Mat' zovyot, Pavlov's House, and the biggest statue of Lenin, doesn't have too much more too offer after that. Don't get me wrong, if you love history, it's a great city but once you exhaust those options it's pretty dull. I went during Den' Pobedy and it was great though. Niznhy Novgorod is beautiful. I lived in Samara, so I love it. That said, it's not the most exciting, but it's still very Russian compared to Petersburg and Moscow.

If you have more questions I'm happy to answer.

>>1105981
As a foreigner, you need register every time you go to a new city. You can thank the leftovers of soviet bureaucracy for it. It depends on how long as I recall, some cities being for three days some being seven. If you stay at a hostel/hotel, they'll typically do it for a fee or free. If you couch surf, you'll need to do it yourself, as will your host. It involves doing duplicates of paperwork by hand which is a nightmare. It was bad enough that when I was in Ekaterinburg I almost went to a hostel just to get it done.

Oh and I know the guy in the picture died but I don't plan on being isolated in the wilderness and eating random shit I find growing around me. For food I'd probably have an ice chest and a hot plate or fire area

Maybe you can find it in the 4plebs archive buy there was an anon who loved out of a van who had excellent advice and stories
