Hello /trv/
I am going to Brussels, Bruges, Maastricht, and Amsterdam for a comparative government trip between March 4th and 14th. I am from the US midwest, and I have never left the country, but I have travelled to most of the US states. I am wondering what I need to know about international travel, specifically in Belgium and The Netherlands. My daily itinerary is filled from 10AM to about 4PM with trips to government buildings and meetings and classrooms, but after 4PM I am free to do as I please. I'm 29 years old and this is part of a Masters Program, so I will be very independant and I don't need to stay with the group or any of that jazz that often plagues undergrads on study away trips.
So, What should I do? What should I know? Any great places I should check out in those cities or events during that time frame?
Much appreciated. Pic unrelated.

OP here,
I forgot to mention I am a guy, and I will be bringing about 1000Euros for spending money and my hotels/travel/meals are paid for.
Pic still unrelated.

Belgium - beer
The Netherlands - weed
The cars are going to be smaller, and people are going to speak other languages than English.

That KFC thread inspired me to make this one. When I travel I make sure food is one of the main aspects of experiencing the different locations I visit. I've had some amazing food on my travels, dishes that I would never be able to try in my home town. I always try to eat as much local food as possible and often reminisce about the food especially if it's a cuisine I absolutely can't find locally.
The best food I ever had was in Mexico. I traveled around the country a couple years back and only ate Mexican food throughout my time there. I tried dishes from many regions I visited. Pic related, chile relleno I had in Guadalajara I believe.
What was some of the best food you've had on your travels? Which countries do you think have the best cuisines? If you can recommend some must try places please do, unless it's an obscure destination I'm sure there will be someone here going there and will enjoy the suggestion.

This is not a very original opinion, but I nominate Vietnam for the world's best cuisine. Forget phó, those gooks can throw a quail egg and a handful of cilantro onto a hot plate on the sidewalk and hand you something wonderful. I've seen it happen.
From what I know of Thai food it's a real contender, so I should drag my fat ass to Thailand some day.
Sri Lankan curries were fantastic with all the little side dishes. I've never been to India for comparison, though.
When it comes to simple cooking, Moroccans can do more with meat, onions and potatoes than a chef in a British pub ever could.
Phó related

I puked up a fuck ton of Poutine in Toronto because drinks were cheap as hell.

Poutine is the only good food we have but I only eat it a few times a year to not be a complete fatass.

I love Vietnamese food, definitely want to go there in the next few years mainly for the food. I haven't been to Asia yet but I can't wait as the Asian food I tried here in Canada is amazing.
Going to las vegas next month, any advice?

Don't gamble that much.

-Walk through the casino/hotel when possible to reduce the time outside, as it gets rather warm (but then again, I'm basing it on March and Summer weather)
-try catching some of the free shows (such as the fountains, the Sirens of Treasure Island, and Circus Circus)
-do the buffets

So I applied for a semester abroad in China and received confirmation that I can study in Shanghai. Problem is that I also have the opportunity to study in Beijing so I wanted to ask you guys what you would choose.
Which city is better?
Which city has more options for travelling?
Which city has more interesting sights?
Anybody with experience here that could tell me about both places?

Beijing is a smog-infested hellhole. Shame, because if not for the smog it'd be a very lovely place.

I have about $4000 CAD. I would be leaving from Toronto. I just want to get away from it all. Someplace warmish but I want to avoid like parasites, infected stuff, basically I don't wanna come home and deal with illness or in extreme case be dead. Somewhere safe and politically stable.
Trying to get the most amount of days away. Umm beach, resort? Hotel? Sights to see? I'm not sure. I just want to relax and enjoy before I have to start university in the fall.
Canadian Male, 18, of South Asian descent. In case that helps with areas and how friendly they are known to be.
Any help is much appreciated!
Included a rough picture idk.

Sorry, but last post I will make until replies. I also have a name of middle eastern origin even though I don't identify with it. I don't really wanna go someplace filled with Donald Trump minded people ruining my vacation and filling it with negativity.

Go to an all inclusive resort. Maybe a cruise. Look on Groupon, or for vacation/flight packages offered by airlines like Delta.

I am planning a trip with my girlfriend, about 1 or 2 months... We are planning to walk some 1000km together somewhere, not really having a destination or a plan.
We plan to sleep outside preferably, in citys we will go to campings or as a last resort a hostel. We will shower in the sea or w/e... We got gear (backpacks, cooking, medical, sleeping...)
I was thinking about doing a modified santiago de compostela, and ending somewhere north of bordeaux france... Or mayby start at the pyrenees and try to get somewhere in switserland following the coast..
We have a little experiance wildcamping and stuff, we dont care to live on 5 euro a day (this will be more then enough) we will hitchike whenever possible / whenever the road gets boring..
I also was thinking hiking in the sardinia island in italy... or mayby start from scilia and try to get as far north as possible..
Do you guys have any tips? We dont mind city's but we do like nature, the best would be to traverse national parks and also some citys so kind of both.. and I do want to see the sea..
I prefer places that are not dangerous, Also gear allows us to be comfy at 10 degrees, (we are going in april - may or something..) but we can get till 4 degrees together and we will be okay.. any good places / tips? we are already pretty good prepared and stuff..

>pretty good prepared
You mean well prepared. And you aren't if you don't know where the fuck you'll be going.
Anyway.
I have never hiked in France so I couldn't tell you. Sardinia is a small island if you want to walk 1000 kms. From Sicily up north is a nice idea in theory but the South of Italy can be very ugly in a lot of places (Reggio Calabria wtf), and there isn't a continuous hiking trail like e.g. the Appalachian in the USA. So you'd end up walking alongside roads, and those don't have sidewalks over there.

>>1070150
>5 euro a day
I don't doubt it can be done but I would get bored of that diet very quickly. Unless you're dumpster diving or good at getting dinner invites.

New Zealand's South Island (where I live) is about 1000km long. There is a cycle track the length of it I think - you could walk it. I would do it in summer, not winter though. Go down the middle and you got some unbelievable scenery.

Hey /trv/, i recently called a debt on a guy that was giveing me the runaround he said he was broke and gave me what he owed in indian rupees, im in the uk and i have found out it's a restricted currency, anyone know if a way i can get it converted or am i better going to an indian fast food place and selling it to them way below conversation and cut my losses?
Thanks.

Put them up on gumtree saying you have some and you will sell them at exactly the current conversion rate. This way you'll both be getting a better deal, usually if done through a money exchange/bank they give you slightly less than conversion rate and then charge a little more to buy.
There's bound to be a lot of people going to India from the UK. Do you have a lot? If it's not a big sum you might as well just sell to an Indian at your local corner shop or fast food joint.

You'll be lucky if you can find parking within five blocks of your destination. Bring a jacket. It's pretty much just a really crowded city...definitely check out the parks though, they are beautiful. My favorite part of last time I went was when I left across the Oakland bridge and I suddenly felt like someone took a lid off of me. That place is claustrophobic just to exist in. I'm from SD btw

I am currently 19 studying computer science looking into either networking or information security. It has always been a dream of mine to move to Ireland not just to leave the US and never look back but to also embrace the culture and experiences available. What are some tips and needed information on moving to Europe from the US?

Ireland is saturated with comp. science majors. Especially after Lisbon and even moreso now that Germany essentially own us. Not impossible to get a job in comp science here but it's competitive.
Best advice if you plan on moving here for some reason? Don't go around telling everyone that you're american or your great grandad was Irish or some shit. It just pisses people off. Especially if you go to the wrong part of Dublin or venture out of the tourist zones.

what do you do when you go to a new city? how do you have a fun time, especially by yourself?
I'm going to montreal soon. i was there a couple of months ago, and all i did was go to restaurants by myself and check out a few tourist spots (the park, notre dame cathedral and the bay area). it was interesting, but not "amazing".
what can i do this time around to have a better time?
i've looked and there's something called Igloofest during the winter. it's basically an electronic music concert. i've never been to one before, is it fun to go to these things by yourself (especially if you're shy and don't speak french)? what else should i try to do?

Big cities are easy when you're alone because you can always find your people. I live in Albuquerque, there's no such thing as a heavy metal bar here. I went to London and bar hopped and it was a great experience. I always used to hate bars with a passion, but then I went to some where I actually liked the music and everything changed.
Basically just search out whatever you're into. Anime, bicycles, BDSM, whatever. Find your people. You'll fit in instantly and have a great time.

i'm not really into anything.. i read books and watch movies in my free time

Hello /trv/, first time posting here
So i would like to get some advice from you guys, i hope i won't be too general.
It's my last year as a senior and my exams are only months away. Once i get done with them i have about 1 week of freedom before i get called to join the army. Hence i am looking for a suitable destination,within Europe, to go for that period of time with my close friends (4-5 people).
We are going to eat shit 2 years straight so we are aiming to make this experience the most fucked up one and forever memorable, and since we are over 18 we won't have many restrictions as far as i know.
Budget wise, we prefer to stick to something not too expensive but we wouldn't mind if the prices were a bit salty.
Thanks!

Would help to know where you are from, and what you like. But here's some general ideas:
Berlin
Barcelona
Belgrade
Seems like B's are good.

>>1069393
Cyprus
Our main interests revolve around clubbing, clean beaches to chill during the day and nice senery to take some video shots of our mad adventure. Hunting women is also one of our main interests.

Avoid Quarto Oggiaro if you're a tourist. Milan in general is pretty safe if you hang around in the centre or go clubbing somewhere. Go to at least one Centro Sociale (Leoncavallo, Macao, Cantiere are the main ones
What are your interests OP? I've commuted to Milan daily for years so I'm knowledgeable

It could be list of caffes to visit or unique places with views what ever

As it will be my first time there, I want something more traditional. Plus, as it is a budget travel, I would like to know where can I eat good Italian street food.

It's so fucking cold I need a tropical vacation. I'm thinking about Costa Rica, what does /trv/ think about it.
I'm thinking 1-2 weeks but I'm not too familiar with where I should go, I would def want to stay in at least 2 different places. Stay in hostels or airbnb. Mainly interested in it because it's in a warm area and seems interesting don't plan or want to be on the beach all day.
I'll probably be by myself because my friends are pussies.
