Do you think it might have been easier to Google that question rather than making another thread?

He tried to sneak in a question while pretending to be starting the Japan general

I saw some thing called fuerza bruta back in 2007 or 2008. It was pretty cool not sure if it's still around

In my (admittedly limited) experience with trains you don't generally have an option for carrier, so these kinds of sites are not necessary

The price is usually the same no matter the time of day you go, sometimes there is a first class or whatever, but usually it's a flat cost

You just go to the website of the train line you need and book the fare, what exactly are you trying to compare with?

>>1071015

Busbud. Megabus is not included but it will show you cheaper fares than the official websites.

>>1071050
Thanks. But why is Megabus literally half the price of the other buses?

Depends on budget and what you hope to do.

Help us help you. Elaborate.

My personal recommendation is no more and no less than five days. Long enough to see what it has to offer but not too long because it gets surprisingly boring very quickly. And expensive as all fuck.

My best friend and I are going, neither or us drink but we want to see a show or two.
Neither of us have been to vegas but don't get much time off work so two days/nights is all we can go but we don't want to waste our time or be rushed.

>>1070985
See the fountains once during the day and once at night (make the night display the last thing you see before going home). See a show. Go for one really nice meal.

Go up the Stratosphere, preferably at night but it does cost considerably more.

Explore one or two hotels during the day that appeal to you.

anybody?

Just edit an existing boarding pass that you have. Use a real flight number and time.

If you are from a rich white country the odds of Thai immigration asking for proof of onward travel are close to zero though.

>>1070903
Photoshop.
Or just edit the HTML in firefox and print it.

Most likely, it wouldn't be a problem anyway.

Hi anon, I studied in Rome for 5 months 2 years ago and I recommend it, but I didn't have much money and can't really recommend you good restaurants.

However, of the places that you mentioned, I'd add Villa Borghese for a picnic if the weather is nice, Campo de Fiori for dinner and drinks, and the Vittoriano/Altar of the fatherland for a great view of the town for free. Finally, the Spannish Steps may not be a nice sight these days, since there was an incident were some hooligans completely fucked up the fountain one year ago.

Hope I could help.

Ostia Antica (kind of a mini-Pompeii, a short train ride from Piramide station)

EUR (fascinating and in places beautiful Mussolini-era suburb, built for a fascist imitator of the Olympics that the advent of war put paid to)- home of "the square Colleseum" amongst other things

the "English" (or protestant) cemetery,complete with its pyramid

Honestly, just stay in New York. You'll be treated better (the Japs don't like non-Japs).

Take a week long vacation to Tokyo if you really need to experience it.

You can't just move to Japan and work in a bar. They don't want you unless you ply a proper skill, start a business or marry a local.

>can learn quickly if I'm there
Everyone thinks that.

>I also have a cat and need to bring him with me.
Holy fuck, this special snowflake stuff is a red flag. Japan will grind you down into a fine powder.

Don't move to Japan. You wouldn't make it out here with that mindset.

Either you make 6 figures in New York or barely make 2,400,000 yen a year (20K-24K USD). Which is the average salary for someone living in Tokyo.

Just work your 6 fig job in New York and come out to Tokyo for vacation till you get your fill.

you can check out location aggregate sites and browse to your preferences.

Impressive list - I've been to quite a few of those in Europe and, yeah, most of those are pretty great. A few suggestions - those in capital letters are the best.

Italy - going from north to south: BERGAMO, Brescia, MANTOVA, Ravenna, Bologna, ORVIETO, NAPLES, LECCE, OTRANTO, MATERA

Germany - maybe Trier; but for sure the Rhine valley for the landscape, WURZBURG, Regensburg

Scotland - ST ANDREWS, Perth, Glasgow, the West Highlands (also along the Great Glen between Fort William and Inverness)

England - the South Downs (Sussex) and ARUNDEL, Canterbury, Lincoln, York, Oxford, CAMBRIDGE

Spain - Avila, SEGOVIA

A bit further east: Ukraine - Lviv, Kamyanets Podilsky, KIEV, ODESSA

Russia - NOVGOROD, ST PETERSBURG

Romania - THE PAINTED MONASTERIES OF MOLDOVIA

Georgia - TBILISI, UPLISTSIKHE CAVE CITY, Mtskheta, Davit Gareji Monastery and surrounds

Armenia - Etchmiadzin, and the landscapes of the north of the country

Turkey - ISTANBUL (god-tier, seriously)

Uzbekistan - SAMARKAND (can't overstate how amazing this is), BUKHARA,

Do what all the Africans do. Go legally, overstay your visa.Male money from sort of vice like women or drugs.

the obvious solution. though, i would rather not follow that. i was hoping you guys had legitimate, less obvious, ideas. beggars can't be choosers but still. i really appreciate it though, i hope i don't have to do that. while I'm not opposed to women and drugs, it would be rad to contribute to society in another way.

- Visit Skye, it's amazing. I've been to almost anywhere in Scotland and it's my favourite part. The scenery is amazing
- Drive the coastal route from Oban to Fort Williams (Ben Nevis) to Mallaig. From Mallaig you can also take the ferry to Skye.
- See Cairngorms National Park. It has a lot to offer. Hiking, cycling, skying or just driving around
- See Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park
- Try to visit at least Islay, Jura, Arran or Mull. Google them to find which interests you the most
- Drive from Inverness to Brora, and possibly onwards to Wick. Beautiful coastal area
- Visit at least one whisky distillery. For the most complete experience I'd advise The Balvenie as it has a malt floor and an active cooperage. But I could easily list 10 more that are absolutely worth is
- Eat haggis. It's amazing in every form
- The Orkney Islands are great too. From the man of Hoy to the shipwrecks between Holm and St Margarets Hope to Skara Brae to the lovely Orkney Brewery. Try their Skullsplitter beer
- Inverness is a fun town too, as is Oban itself

I second skye. I was there new years eve, its great.

Drive up the west coast to tongue if you can. Its beautiful, really remote though. Theres a trail up the coast from ulapool.

theres all sorts of brochs, standing stones, glens, castles, caves mountains, ruins on the route. I did it with my gf in a rush in 3 days, we didn't get t do all that much but it was a great trip.

Castle Doune. It was most of the castle in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and if you stop in the gift shop on the way in they have "loaner coconuts" so you can gallop around in style.

This is a great stop to surprise fellow travelers with. Didn't tell people I was with why we were stopping at Doune, just that it was a castle I particularly wanted to see because of "its history," which was technically true. My power level went to over 9,000 in their eyes for the rest of the trip.

>>1067472
They have rum in little juice box boxes. You should try that.

>>1067474
It's basically juice box style boxes of rum. It's fucking hilarious.

>>1067475
Unless you don't drink. In which case don't try that.

>>1066709

Lol I wear my tony lama cowboy boots when I'm over there for work

Chicks love them

yes, but not since '96, so not a lot of up-to-date info. haifa was beautiful, as were the golan heights/galilee, diving in eilat was awesome. border with egypt was locked down at that point, no idea now.

bring a radiation suit and a spade with you
just trust me

Check out the visa situation before going. Having an Israeli visa on your passport might present issues entering Egypt or Jordan.

>>1071178
visiting* typo, fuck...

>>1071180
what account? also is the airline not letting you buy ticket because this deposit?

>>1071189
Into her bank account, and she has the ticket. They said she needed at least 6 grand. But she will be staying with me. So I'm confused

>>1071158
You might as well stay in upstate Vermont, pussy. You'll never be a Real Traveler holed up in those tourist resorts

>>1071162

I haven't found a place to stay yet. What are the good tourist resorts in those cities?
