Why not just buy a packet of No-Doz and avoid any suspicions? Why carry it on instead of checking it?

It comes in handy pill form with labeled bottles and everything, so this seems foolish.

Is what you are really asking "Can I bring a loose white powder with me if I say it is caffeine.?"

>>1072485
FYI powdered caffeine is illegal in several countries, as concentrated caffeine is basically poison.

Are you working there or just traveling? If working then you could get one through employer even if it comes out of your pay. Otherwise yeah, insurance is pricey. Still better to pay $800 than face $100k fees if something horrible happens.

>>1072295
>Are you working there or just traveling?
A bit of both but I'm self-employed, just doing digital nomad stuff. So no employer to take care of that stuff for me.

People on /trv/ talked about much cheaper insurance so I'm hoping someone gives me some links or something.

if you're just trying to have sex then SE Asia. Singapore and Hong Kong are apparently pretty great if you're trying to spend money.

I want to see some beautiful places, meet new people and their culture, experience what the whole has to offer really.

I'm not really interested in going places where it is even more expensive than Scandinavia when there are so many cheap places to go.

Cheesy as fuck but cheesy for a reason.

USA

You aren't going to understand the Appalachians. You're either going to love them and wonder in awe, or you're going to despise them. Anyone in or below Appalachia is from a different planet. Even the rich people. It's a different world.

The best way too see fucked up shit is to actually live there. I grew up in east TN. It's extremely easy to see who is from there and who's not. If you're not, you'll stand out and no one is going to want to show you anything.

Why did they put deer heads above the TV? Do the antlers improve reception?

Wish I'd copypasted my usual answer, this seems to be a recurring thread and usually even has the same picture.

Kensington Market by day, it's a vibrant hippy neighborhood that has somehow resisted corporatization and (to some extent) gentrification. Its the most authentic feeling bohemian type neighborhood in Toronto. Junction Triangle by night, its somewhat hipstery/douchey but its the busiest nightlife by night and theres a variety of pubs for all tastes. College Street has decent student pubs, its a good bet to get laid, it starts at university street with shitty student bars and the further west you go, the classier it gets. The annex has fun geeky stuff like Korean karaoke bars or board game cafes. Shakes and Lattes is a brilliant board game cafe but probably book a table in advance. Stay away from the "entertainment district", its full of douchey clubs spinning top 40 and mostly out of towners and 905ers go there. If you want something swanky, and pricy, yorkville has high end shopping by day, a few high class lounges by night. Queen Street from University all the way to Bathurst for anything rock or metal related.

The absolute best club in town is called Cherry Colas Rock And Rolla. You'll have to Google it as its got a hidden entrance. I can promise no matter what you're into you wont be disappointed.

I haven't been back home in like 2 years so check that everything is still true lol. But as the other guy reccomended, Kensington Market is awesome. They have pedestrian days when cars can't go through and its super cool. There's a pub called Sin & Redemption in that neighbourhood that has tns of draught beers and its got a cool, dingy vibe. The art gallery and the rom (royal ontario museum) used to be free on wednesdays so check that out if you'll be there. Snakes and Lattes is super cool. I don't think you can book a table in advance, you need to call the same night you want to go and they will give you a time to come. Also hit up Dutch Dreams. It's a super cool ice cream parlor. There's a police museum on Bay street that's fun to kill some time at. The absolute best brunch ever in the entire fucking city ever is at Milagro. It's uptown but right at the Lawrence subway station. If you're into high class shopping, bloor is the way to go but its super swanky. There's a pingpong bar called spin on king street that's a little posh but still really fun. you need to call for a reservation though. I'd reccomend getting bikes for rent (if you can plan ahead, bring a bike lock so you can stop at places) if the snow is gone. They're really fun and you can view the city like that. And definitely check out Dundas Square and the Eaton Centre. There's always something going on and its an easy place to start a day at. Oh! and the best place to get food when you're piss drunk is at Mars Diner on Young street. Trust me. And its open 24 hours.

God I love Japan.

Probably not going to happen. Few Japanese girls speak any English, and they usually prefer jap guys. Go to the Philippines or Malaysia where people speak English.

>>1069084

You're definitely right about the Phillipines, Malaysia, even Thailand etc... all having the stereotype of being places where it's extremely easy to get pussy, but it's not hard in Japan, either. Japanese bitches love gaijin dick, especially the ones that speak English. I hear they love to get their nihongo nipples pulled.

He'll need to get a visa to either work or study in the U.S., he'll have to fill out a form and pay a fee, it's not too expensive but it's not a guarantee that his application will be accepted.

Here's a link with more info and on obtaining a student visa

https://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/study-exchange/student.html

>>1072328
Thanks for the link. I guess I knew the basics, but I also know it gets complicated real fast. For instance I assume as part of the visa application he'll have to prove he has enough money to live/pay tuition, when that's impossible unless he can enter America and start working.
Also he's a devout Muslim and I won't lie, he looks like Osama bin Laden. Gotta wonder if that's gonna be an obstacle.

>>1072332
lol, yeah with the current political climate it will probably be harder to get a visa if you're from an Arab country. But the fact that he already has a degree will help.

Alternatively, he could attempt to get a greencard instead of a visa, it will give him permanent residence in the U.S., but is a bit more difficult to acquire. It would be best to do this by finding an employer willing to hire him here, then having them petition for a greencard for him. Again, his engineering degree will come in very handy in that regard.

Don't forget your travel insurance.

I won't forget insurance, and i'll wear gear and ride slowly. I'll only be on one of these things

you can take the basement dweller out of the basement, but you can't take the basement out of the dweller and everything he can haul in his cargo pants pockets

Well it's a big change. Weird would it be if you were completely relaxed.
I don't know how to overcome this. I recently changed continents myself and I was pretty nervous too.
But in the end, change is good anon. Accept it. Enjoy it.
You're going to have fun.

Transfer is easy, especially if you have time. Airports are structured well plus there are signs everywhere.

When you land go find the connecting gate, then check time and explore the airport and eat. You already know where it is. If you get lost just ask. But it's gonna be easy.

Always important is research how to get from saigon airport to your first bed.
Check wiki gravel and lonely planet to and from airport.
You'll then know what to do, just make a plan. Like landing then taxi stand at arrival hall. Or train or whatever. Keep the address where you go handy and offline. Maybe get maps me and download offline maps to your phone.

Once you slept the first night get a simcard and data. Its your knowledge superpower. Something seems fishy, too expensive or you're lost? Google.

If you do that nothing major will go wrong. Settling in will only take a few days. If you're unfamiliar don't spend any big sums of money or be overly trusting

>>1072238
I remember the first time I traveled alone on a plane to a foreign country, I was 8. It was the most terrifying thing ever and the idea of living in another country was even worse. I guess it's kind of a similar experience.
Next time I did it, I even made friends on the plane and we still talk to each other.
Don't worry, you'll be fine. You'll be use to it before you realize.
Have fun.

Ps.
We don't care about horses, so we don't really think we'd like Lipica.

And we've already seen Predjama as well.

Ps ps.
We already saw Mostnica gorge as well.

Slovenian here, originally from Velenje, grew up in Celje. Both cities are within one hour drive from Maribor, both cities have pretty cool castles but you can spend max two hours on any of these sights before you get bored. Ptuj is the oldest city in Slovenia so you can be certain you will see some old cool stuff there. City of Laško has a very good fine dining restaurant on the castle called Pavus if you are into that sort of thing. East of the country has a lot of spas but you will mostly find old drunk russians there. Certian hills are known for good quality wine. If you have any specific questions, fire away.

>>1072079
Yes. The two moments that were easily the best were when he was kidnapped by 'terrorists' in Israel and his discussion with the Russian taxi drivers about train travel.

He's such a miserable fuck, but yes.

I think it's okay. I find the very enjoyable bits too far and few. I think there could be a better mix between him being miserable and actually learning about the places.

>I am Japanese female college student.

show ass + tits

Don't wear the shit like you do in your country desu

There's nothing to be worried about in France, the UK, or Italy. While the city of Paris has had two attacks in the past year, that doesn't really make the country of France more dangerous (and arguably Paris is only slightly more dangerous seeing as 32 million people travel there every year and just over 100 were killed in both attacks). France is a big country, and if you are that worried about violence, you can experience some of the best of France without ever stepping foot in Paris

In general, every country has had its share of terrorist violence. If you ruled out every country that experienced such attacks, you would probably be left only with Switzerland and a handful of other countries. Hell, even Tokyo suffered a terrorist attack in 1995. Don't let that fear stop you from travelling. The only thing you reasonably have to worry about is typical tourist-affecting crimes which occur in every country, like theft and scams.

If anything, Paris might even be one of the safer Euro capitals now because they are likely going balls to the wall on counter terrorism and security...

Ask your hotel if they do 'ufo' tours.

They generally last about a day and leave from Sofia.

Also yeh, dont go alone in winter, the place is prone to blizzards.

I am working in Moscow as well right now (Australian). I mostly cook and eat out just a few times a week.

If you want some decent sushi though, a place called Yakitoria has an app where you order and they have free delivery. You can easily get a meals worth of sushi for 800-1000RUB.

One of my favourites is a restaurant called 'Voronezh' just by metro Kropotkinskaya. They have a deli downstairs and you can get a nice big pastrami sandwich for under 400RUB.
