The best way for me is to use the streets. I can get a picture of the map in my head. But once I have been there that is when it really sticks. It doesnt matter how you get there, walking, on a bike, driving a car.

Use the streets, as anon said, that, landmarks and big-ass signs for hotels, bars, etc. How much are you planning to help them depends on them too. There are people in this world that can't find their arse with both hands.

>>1089378
Once there....review a map after you just "did something new" and you'll cement in the visual image of the layout and street names that cross intersections, with the street view images of being on the ground. It'll help with the awareness of going north, or whatever direction and make those memories longer term.

Sorry op I don't know. I hope you find the answer soon though :)

Why would you need a specific card for domestic travel? Just use whatever card you use for your day to day spending. If your trying to accrue points wouldnt you want to use the card for everything?

Barclays got me a free round trip to Sweden. Spend 3k in 3 months and you get x amount of points towards any form of travel. No black out dates, any airline, boat, etc, because you spend the points with Barclays. Meaning you save up $125 worth of points? Simple deduct that from the cost of a travel expense.

Yeah it'll be fine, you might need to change the Ice at some point and it'll probably leak so keep a towel under it.

you'll be fine mate. The frozen stuff might thaw out a little bit but should still be able to re freeze.

As a cu/ck/ I can safely say there is no risk of cross contamination or food borne illnesses from your refrigeration method, even if it was frozen chicken or pork. As long as the storage stays below 5 c which it will, your food's fine.

The trip doesn't sound like a fun vacation, so I'm sorry to hear about it. Chin up, anon.

Some fun facts for you lad, Mt Kosciuszko isn't the highest peak of Australia, thats Mt. Mawson. And even then, Mt Kosciuszko wasn't always the highest mountain on mainland australia. There was a mixup with the naming of the mountains based off the original mapping with it and Mt Townsend. Mt Kosciuszko was proclaimed to be the highest mountain of australia so they just switched the 2 names

I think you mean dayhike

>>1089139
Is it possible to bike up to the top of the mountain?

If you value adventure, go to Dubai. You will be bored though, there is little to do besides shop and look at expensive things. On the other hand you will have cheap flights to all of Asia at your disposal for weekend getaways.

Of course Spain will be much more fun but it may not be as exhilarating to go somewhere that is a day's drive away vs another continent. Idk your decision. Spain will be more fun but Dubai will be more "different" and is one of the only safe ways to travel to Arabia, granted

>On the other hand you will have cheap flights to all of Asia at your disposal for weekend getaways.

I didn't even think about that. Great tip.

>>1088965
Dubai is full of money obsessed expat cunts do if that sounds like you then go for it.

Although it's the most liberal UAE country it's still UAE so need to be careful about certain things.

The buildings are pretty amazing though.

Rapid is awesome! I'm there every summer to visit my mom. I dont remember any of the name's of bars in particular but a night on the town is great. Downtown rapid is kinda small but can pack a punch with all the collages around it. Just bar hop on the weekend and take one of the painting classes they have there and have a great time!

Thanks for reply! Do you have any idea how it is for foreigners to go out? Do people wonna talk and stuff? Or is it more Like a "closed party"

isn't south dakota like the rape capital of the usa next to alaska? with rapid city and sioux falls being the worst?

Shameless self bump

Yeah, Acapulco basically has the biggest cartel presence that's far from the US border...and it's because of all the Western tourists who become their customers.

>>1088713
So I'm guessing bad vacation spot for my young white American friends huh?

>>1088437
Just go to a European deli type of place, German, Polish, Yugo delis should have it.

dude they are imported like crazy, all grocery stores in the great lakes area have them in the checkout aisles.

I'm in Michigan, and I don't remember seeing any. Granted, I never really looked.

Good thing your not mexican

do you have a criminal record ? Where you born in Canada ? There's something you're not telling us here

Not so sure about accommodation, but I can give some recommendations for nice/comfy bars and pubs.

CBD: Loop Roof and Rooftop Bar are nice outdoor places. New Amsterdam, Workshop and E Fifty Five are cool and quiet bars. I hate clubs, but the Colonial Hotel usually has something happening on a Friday or Saturday night.

Collingwood: Good streets for bar-hopping are Brunswick St, Gertrude St and Smith St. Gertrude has my all-time favourites Catfish and the Workers Club; both have good music. Naked for Satan and Bar Open are fun on Brunswick. The Tote is supposedly the be-all, end-all of Melbourne pubs, but I've only been there for gigs. It'a alright. When I can conquer my crippling self-hatred to go outside, I usually go to Collingwood.

Other places: There are a few good pubs around Queen Vic Market; the Crimea, Prudence and the Drunken Poet. Getting the tram up from Queen Vic eventually gets you to Sydney Rd, which is another nice area for bar hopping.

Now it's time for me to sit back and be called a hipster cunt by the rest of Melbourne /trv/.

And in terms of things to do, checking out the above areas in the day could be a nice outing; they all have their complements of interesting little shops and cafes. Carlton Gardens are right next to the CBD and Collingwood, and have the Exhibition Building (which you usually can't get into unless there's a convention) and the Museum.

The Art Galleries in the CBD are free; I enjoy going to them occasionally, but, y'know, it's art n shit.

Just wander around.

Thanks mate, we'll check those out

drop zagreb from your list...not a whole lot to see there.

>>1090769
Zagreb is a fun day, but not much more.

I loved Plitvice. The long walk around (Route K, the one you SHOULD do) takes roughly 6 hours. That's another day. Be there early (9 or 10) to beat the masses a little. It's incredibly beautiful.

Zadar is lovely! It's where I stayed for a week. From there you can do a day in Paklenica National Park (great hikes, try the Velika Paklenica trail, great climbing too), a day on Pag, a day-long boat trip to the Kornati Islands etc. The old town is great. Watch the sunset at the Sea Organ.

Be sure to visit Krka National Park near Sibenik. Beautiful waterfalls, trip on the river, possibility to take a swim. Haven't visited Sibenik itself. Split is a great day out too, but too mass-touristy for me to spend much longer.

>>1090798

The waterfall national park sounds cool, I think I'll go there. How much money did you spend on hostels/hotels and food on your trip? Did you take a bus to your trips or did you rent a car? Any opinion as to which is better?

If you don't learn anything from Auschwitz you're just kind of a fucktard.

Salt mines are touristy yet fun to see.

If there is one thing we've had in school its holocaust holocaust holocaust, oy vey the six trillion

Way worse things in history have happened, and Im sick of the focus on the holocaust. Anyways, wouldnt seem like its a good place to get objective information

Most Poles hate the fact that people travel half way across the world and instead of going to beautiful places around the country they visit a shitty place like this. Poland has a 1000 year history, all sorts of nature, and yet people go to a place jews made their own. Oh I wonder how that is...

Wieliczka is definitely worth a visit, even if it does have too many tourists.

>>1091819
It's the definition of
>chat shit, get banged.

Been to NK, know at least 40people who did the same. They tell you to not fuck up a million times and that you will end up in a gulag.
Same as smuggling drugs to Indonesia, get busted, face a firing squad.

Play by the rules and you won't have problem.

>>1091821
Yes but he *had* to steal the banner so he could impress the girls at the hostel about the time he stole from North Korea. Simpy visiting North Korea these days is so blasé, especially as part of an organized tour group (ugh).

He could even post pics on Reddit and acquire all the glorious upboat karma.

Well, right or wrong, he knew the consequences beforehand. NK isn't a "walk-in" state and anyone going there is pretty familiar with the totalitarian dictatorship and their policies.

Sucker got caught in a political game.

>Tbilisi is an interesting city, part of it is quite damaged due to an earthquake
>really friendly people, except at tourist traps (mostly the Tbilisi sulfur baths, you'll most likely get ripped off )
>have been to kazbegi, very nice little village, absolutely stunning scenery, great for hiking
>conversation in English will be possible in Tbilisi, in more rural parts Russian is really helpful

I'd give it a 7.5 at least, most likely if I had known Russian
Pic related : breakfast in the hostel I stayed in in kazbegi : the owner treated me like her son

this pie looks delicious and i dont even know that is it. Cheesepie?

>>1085079
on second thought maybe its just bread hahaha..i just remembered that bread there looks this way. Still good

>>1090481
Expect the Champs De Lysse/Monmatre to be full of Arabs. You wouldn't expect Times Square to be reflective of New York, and so don't do the same with Paris. Its a great city, the best thing I can advise is to walk around and see it for yourself.

don't talk to gypsies.
don't talk to "deaf" gypsies either.

>>1090481

Prepare for disappointment.

Its 3rd world-tier.
