I cant hold all of the American memes.

Interesting thing about that TR photo...it's staged. The hunting knife, for instance, has a carved silver handle from Tiffany's (he was from a rich family). Eventually, he did become a great outdoorsman, but not when this pc was taken.

If you tell an Irishman that bit about your ancestors they will laugh you out of the pub. Don't.

Definitely check out Fabric in London, despite its legendary history and fame, it remains beautifully dodgy, sketchy and run down, which is amazing because there is more DnB/dubstep history in that cramped, sweaty space than anywhere else on earth. Good array of drugs, too. Ministry of sound is the gigantic megaplex you'd think it would be, certainly lives up to the hype if a bit overwhelming, brixton (o2) academy is one of the nicest large venues in the world imo, if a big name is in town check that out.

Other than that, I won't rag on ya too much over the Yankee stereotypes, after all, traveling is the best way to grow out of those..

How long will you be staying where?

If your driving around be extremely mindful of your speed in the Netherlands. They issue a ticket for 5KM over the limit and it's all electronically sent to the rental agency.

Personally clocked in at 480€ fines in 2 days of driving

Rotterdam is an architectural mess, very pleasant on sunny days tho

Grab a beer at Hannekes Boom (AMS) if the weather is great

6 days London, 2 days Bruges, 2 days Brussels, 3 days Amsterdam. We've been before (Bruges is the only new city) so we are looking for the "best" tourist spots but really looking for local/real great spots. Again, thanks for any good advice.

my job is actually pretty flexible. two of my buddies actually traveled throughout asia for two MONTHS and still had their jobs. it all depends on what you do too.

>>1089933
What is your job my friend?

Got a regular job, earn good money and on top of that I have 13 weeks of payed holidays each year (5weeks normal and I work 12min longer per shift to compensate for the rest) on top I can get up to 3 months of unpaid vacations every other year.

Could be worse.

I'd say Huckleberry Finn, but maybe that's too obvious of a choice.

Turner diaries

Uncle toms cabin?

If youre expecting some racist haven/caricature with people waving Confederate flags like on tv then youre going to be very disappointed

Just hitch hike and buy a tent. Its safe and easy.

Inb4 not a real traveller blabla

The Kiwi Experience is the way to go. It's great, i did it 5 months ago, both islands for a month and i fucking loved it.

Anyway, Stray and Kiwi Experience literally go to the same places, but the Stray bus is smaller and usually more autistic. On our Kiwi bus we were 45 people, the driver was hilarious, we were drinking like 4 days a week, everyone was loving it, everything was great. And the Stray bus (the gay bus) were sometimes at the same hostel as us, and while we were 20 people drinking we would see the Stray group, which was like 6 people, drinking orange juice and eating sweets and playing Uno.

So it depends on who you are as a person, maybe i was lucky to get in such a great group but i was just like you debating which bus to go on and im so fucking glad i chose Kiwi. Its called the Big Green Fuck Bus for a reason aswell.

Feel free to ask whatever you wanna know about it.

im spending a school semester in NZ and il probbably have a few weeks in NZ before school starts. Is The Kiwi Experience a good way to see NZ or is it mostly just a party bus?

Lived there for 2.5 years, now live in Ottawa 2hrs away, love going back. Great city. Definitely worth a visit. Drinking age in Quebec is 18.

>>1090252
Favorite things to do?

>>1090253

Montreal is a good city for party my friend. At my opinion it s like Las Vegas but with less prostitute. Exept that there s nothing to visit.

First for tokyo is a meme city

>>1088532
Japan is a meme country

Moving to Tokyo om The 29th this month to study. School got pushed up so I now have one free week before it starts. What should I see/do during this time? My budget is kinda weak

Never booked any of the error fares but used the site to find and book promo flights around Asia for around 3 USD each way

I went on there. It looks like any other blog that just posts deals. Or am I missing something and you can actually book stuff through them too?

>>1090450
It's more or a less a blog that posts deals with instructions on how to book some of the certain flights,

I found about the cheap Asia flights on the site and then booked them on airasia.

Torn whether to go to Kenya or Tanzania

Kenya has Maasai Mara and Amboseli (good view of Kilimanjaro apparently)

Tanzania has Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater (high concentration of animals apparently)

Anyone vouch for these 4 parks? I'm sure theyre all good

I'd rather go to South Africa. They have the two best theme parks in Sub-Saharan Africa: Gold Reef City Theme Park and Ratanga Junction. One of the attractions at Gold Reef City is a roller coaster named Tower of Terror, which goes straight down through an old gold mineshaft headframe. I believe Gold Reef City also has a big casino on the property.

>>1081986
Why not both?

But seriously if you can only do one, make sure it is the right season for the migration. i.e. a sea of zerbas, wildebeest and thompson gazelles in the park

It's a pretty amazing spectacle and you can't go wrong, plus predators are easier to find because of it

How long you been together???

>>108974
5 months is a really long time for her to travel without you. She might not be planning it now, but women are far more promiscuous when they travel.

Honestly, you need to have a fuckton of faith in her.

>>1089747
Europe... I live there! *Don't worry anon I'll take good care of her..... In all seriousness what part of Europe is she going to? As culture varies enormously from country to country, Italian and Spanish guys are relentless when chasing a woman whilst I find the more Northern Europeans are a bit more respectful of her having a by etc (always exceptions to the rule though).

how does one get into rainbow gatherings, they always seemed interesting as someone who isn't a smelly hippy but doesnt mind smelly hippies.

>>1085766
Just go camping with some good friends.

It's exactly the same, just without the kitsch hippie merchandise and designs.

You also enjoy the nature without having to tell every fives minutes that you enjoy being there unlike those capitalists who can't appreciate the feeling of grass on their feets.


If you really want the psychedelic aesthetics just find a psytrance party, they're everywhere, easy to find and accept anyone.

>DAT Rainbow Gathering smell

I don't by it. Recently got homeless?
Anyways public beach showers if truck drivers resting place showers is to expensive.

>>1090381
If you're so poor that you can't even afford a truck stop shower maybe you should save a little more money before traveling

>>1090381
If you're in the US, no idea.
If you're in the UK or Europe - major railway terminuses usually have cheap showers, and would probably be your best bet in most big cities

I really love the american south. I was planning to visit the Hank Williams museum in Montgomery and Graceland and Sun Records in Memphis

What book(s) should I read before I visit and while visiting?

Is that scene in Love Actually true where American girls find British accents attractive?

go visit the other islands if your staying for a month.

>>1087335
Assuming I'm not, any ideas, or is Waikiki pretty much a lying on the beach vacation?

Also, I don't mind touristy areas (or I wouldn't be going to Waikiki), but ARE there any good relaxing beaches there that aren't filled with tourists?

>>1087317
I am currently stationed in on Oahu, so I might be able to help you out. What is your spending budget?

>>1088061
Check the tanneries at Fez. Do not do it in Marrakech. They are uglier and the keeper is an asshole that tried to hit us

>>1088136
The owner of the big shop above the Fes tanneries is a cool guy; used to represent Morocco in Olympic kayaking and lives half the year in new Jersey. He treated me to lunch on his rooftop wheni told him i was american.
He'll also jew you out of every penny you have, but jesus he sells nice stuff.

OP I've been to Morocco every year since 2009. Mostly I stick to the mountains and about tourist stuff but i can probably answer any questions you have. Been to every big city more than once.

I bought such a sick leather jacket there, unfortuanetly lost it though
