Did you not think telling us where you're moving might be relevant? Dutch people are relaxed, have money, are educated, infrastructure is top notch.

Sorry. Amsterdam.

Raad these books:
Stuff Dutch People Like (also a blog)
The Undutchables
The Xenophobes Guide To The Dutch

I genuinely found them very interesting, and I'm Dutch.

The Northeast. Places like New York, Boston, Philadelphia, D.C, and maybe Baltimore if you have the balls. Anywhere else in this country is a culture-less, soulless shitheap. Trust me.

The only other cities outside of that is maybe Chicago and SF, Seattle if you are into that. Otherwise avoid America at all costs.

There are plenty of decent college towns out there in America's heartland where you'd get a good feel for the culture. It all depends on what you're into hobby-wise, sports-wise, drinking/drug use, etc.

Sorry OP, I don't have any advice but have a question for this /SEA/ thread:

Is it possible to have a quiet relaxing, month long trip in Phuket? I'd like to get an airbnb house next to a beach and basically just hangout there for the entire time. Like I just want to hang out on the beach, read, sleep and maybe once in a while head to a market for food. Is phuket a good island for this or should I look elsewhere?

I personally feel Phuket is shit. Is it beautiful? Yes, it some places it is extremely beautiful. However it is overpriced and full of some of the worst people you will meet in the Kingdom. Be ok with the fact that you will be overcharged for being a tourist, hell even if you live there they will try it. Some places go as far as listing Thai numbers for prices that are lower than the Arabic ones. Taxi and transprt are corrupt, police are corrupt (well this is true in the whole country, just worse here) But all of those nice pictures you see, they are leaving out of the hordes of Russian and Chinese groups. Sure individually they might be nice, in a group they are capable of ruining everything. Go look at Trat, Koh Lanta, Koh Kood, basically places that are not advertised to hell.
Pic is Koh Phi Phi ful of chinese. Should be allowed to have this many, but Thai boats don't care as long as they make money. 10 years ago this beach would have had about 3-4 small boats.

>- The city has lots of historic content, preferebly from the classical or medieval eras
>- Good nightlife and pretty guys/girls
>- Good food
Granada, Spain checks all of these boxes hard.

I was going to say Rome, i live there. Everything else will be a bit of a letdown after that.
Istanbul is not Europe btw. If you go there and are a pretty girl as your picture suggests then expect to get harassed by shitskins wanting "jiggy jiggy" and learing at you and touching you. If you are with a male they will leave you alone.
Munich, Vienna, Brugge, are nice, not too touristy but very nice.

>>1071163
I definitely recommend Porto, Barcelona and Berlin based on your description and my experience.

Uhhh....why do you wanna do that? I mean Passport is better in every way.

I can't imagine you would NOT get your passport back --the two are not the same thing.
Two ways to find out for sure -- at a post-office or something near you is a passport office. Call or stop by and ask them.
Or contact the e-mail or phone contact info available online.

Whats the point of these things?

There's a thread here: >>1066260 with answers to most of your questions. Reading through it would probably help.

But to start off with, make sure you didn't pack too much. You don't need much to walk to Camino. At all. If your backpack is over 40-45 liters, it's probably too big, and if you're carrying more than 10kg, you could cut some stuff out.

It doesn't cost very much. Basically the Camino costs as much as you want it to. Most of the time, you can find accommodation for around 10 euros or less, and the only other major expense is food, which can be quite cheap. Eating off the menu del dia is filling and usually costs 10 euros, fruit and other food can be found along the way in markets for cheap, and food in small bars is also usually inexpensive. Wine and beer are generally cheap. Most people say 30 euros a day is pretty typical, but it's possible to go cheaper (depending on how much you eat and drink).

A small note about price, though. Some albergues are "donativo," which means you can pay whatever you want. That doesn't mean it's free. You should pay about what you would normally, and maybe more if you really liked the place. They can be great places to stay, and someone has to support them.

Can't you just buy it in a real shop and see on the spot with a ruler if your computer would fit ?

Look at aluminum case/the ones media professional/musicians use. You're not going to want to put your PC into a fucking ordinary bag.

Like any less economically sound part of the world, you need to exercise due caution.

But in general, I found Ecuador and Colombia to be filled with as nice a people as you'd meet anywhere, and to not be any more dangerous than anywhere else.

Go in summer.

July has Nadam which is a big festival, good time to see things but bad because it will be crowded and probably more expensive. Depends on what you want to do.

Oasis hostel is a little far out of the centre of the city but is really nice (also there's a bus straight into town). pic related, it's their backyard

There is literally nothing in Mongolia but rocks, water and sand. And horse milk. That's really it, I don't know how you guys are going to be bro-ing it up, but don't expect much. Mandatory: Return to your previous mongolia.

A month in Olympia, did you think this through all the way? Olympia is a relatively small town, granted it's a fun little town but it's just small. It has some cool nightlife I guess, there's lots of students so you might be able to meet some cool people, it's even more liberal than Seattle though so they are mostly all the SJW type. There have a pretty cool market in the bay harbor on weekends and nice fountain thingy that kids like to run around in.

There is lots of nature around that area especially in the Olympic peninsula. You've got that to your west and the Cascade mountains to your east. Hope you have car to see it all.

If you have the time take the 101 highway up to Port Angeles, and do a loop back to Olympia through Aberdeen. If you're into forests, you'll like the Olympic peninsula. Lots of hiking there, the trails will be muddy, but if you're English it wont be anything new.

Try to ride a ferry or two. There's ferries in the San Juan Islands.

Have you been to a ski mountain? There's a cluster of them to the east of Seattle. Even if it's just snowshoeing it's not something you could normally do in London.

Might want to look into some bear safety. This time of year they aren't very active, but you wont know anything about them.

Could be going there for work.

I'll be getting a rental. I have a license out here, just not in the US. I always heard that it takes a day to pass your test and get your license in the US, or maybe that's just Hicktown states.

Whether that's the case or not, I'll be seeing a lot of the state. I'll check out Seattle a few times, and I might go up to Vancouver. That sort of thing.

As for the people, I'm very cut and dry, say it how it is Southerner. If I encounter any harsh tones, I'm confident I can smooth it all over with my generally quaint accent and banter.

>not an /out/ guy

Hmmm, that let's out everything I would have otherwise mentioned. But I'll say g look at Mt/ St. Helen's anyway -- seeing how half a mountain disappeared in the explosion is fairly awe inspiring...

>>1073261
Well fuck...give it to me..some light hiking couldn't hurt..give me some good views.

Not to be rude, but in order to give you something different, I'd need a rough idea of what country your from and where you've been/the kind of things you've done and enjoyed.

Then I'm more than happy to help!
