>being this much of a nazi about cigarettes
I didn't know Texas was the Singapore of the Murricas

If you're caught smoking a cig without the stamp do you get caned too?

>Bastrop

Of all places, why Bastrop? My first job out of college was down there and I did not think it was a fun place. It's about 30 miles outside of Austin, which is very fun, but the road there is always extremely congested because of commuter traffic.

I seriously hope you have access to a car because there's no public transportation.

The one nice thing about the town was the state park, and that burned almost completely to the ground in 2011.

Time of year matters too. Are you going now, when it's winter? In a few months, when it's spring and pleasant? Or in summer when it's hot as balls?

>not knowing about interstate cigarette smuggling

Every state in the US taxes cigarettes at a different rate (places that produce them like North Carolina have ridiculously low prices, places like California attempt to snuff out smoking by making it too expensive). There's a lot of illegal money to be made in buying a shit-ton of cigarettes in one state and then going to a different state and reselling them for lower than what they cost there. Think of it as a slightly more elaborate take on the Seinfeld episode about Michigan recycling deposits.

That said, there's practically no enforcement of it unless cops are looking for a reason to be an asshole. The only reason that sign is there is because it's on the New Mexico border, and Texas doesn't want the poverty leaking in.

NY is pretty active about catching cigarette smugglers from Virginia.

From the list I've been to Mexico City, Vinales, Brno, East Bay and Southern Gulf Islands.

This year I will likely go to: Toronto, Grand Rapids, Todos Santos, Providence, St Louis, and maybe Beaufort as I plan on being in Savannah.

are you dumb bro?

just use temporary accommodation (find a room on gumtree or whatever) when you arrive and find something more permanent when you are in the country

it's a 'hopefully' a year and a half away that is autistic levels of planning

>>1067125
You misread my post, I said half a year away, that's actually not a crazy lot of time.
Also, why is it easier to rent a room than a flat? Isn't it the same thing when you're moving there unemployed?

>>1067131
wow i did misread it

also renting a room is easier because its less formal, often for a non-fixed amount of time etc

try airbnb or gumtree

but this is assuming you are moving to a city

I don't know how reliable those lists are, but happiness is contagious. Avoid countries and cities where people don't smile back and looking happy makes people wonder what drugs you're on. It's depressing.

First you have to identify the reason why you're unhappy. If you can't fix it at home and for some reason think you can do it abroad then moving might make you happier, otherwise I'd say it's about the same anywhere in the world.

No you'll feel even more miserable since everyone else around you is happy but you aren't

Was there last week (Oslo, then Nordland area).
Everybody speaks english.

>>1066340
I've been to Moss with my gf previous holidays, literaly everyone speaks english

Most people here speak English good enough for basic conversation, Janteloven could complicate things for you. How fucked you are really comes down to the colour of your skin and where you're from.

bump for need

Enjoy freedom.

Pamplona is more fun than Belgium, without a doubt

Not sure what your hobbies are, but it's a fairly small city.
Most people go clubbing during thursays, fridays and saturdays.
I used to live there, so ask about anything.

How about the average age? Are there a lot of students ? Hobbies are doing sports and hang out, nothing special really

NZ also has something like this but the acceptance process is not as clear as the two you've mentioned. No point system and the decision is left to their discretion.

>Trying to bounce ASAP
lel did you rob a bank or something?

Checking it right now. Not as neat but worth a shot, ty anon.

Also, are there any good restaurants that you know of?

>>1065517
As long as you stay out of playa del ingles and maspalomas it's actually pretty good.
Las Palmas is decent, the nature in the center of the island is gorgeous and the small towns also offer nice food.
Rent a car, drive around, go hiking or diving...

>>1065517

It's not really a place with individual incredible attractions. Stay away from the blatantly tourist stuff and have a good time. Just bring a book and some swimming trunks and enjoy yourself drinking, eating, relaxing, hiking, and shit on your parents dime. It might seem lame but its always nice to get away.

It's all relative and you should get in the right mindset. I know to an English person the canaries are kind of boring but to an American it'd be quite enticing.

For posterity: made the choice to spend more time in Cusco.

Motorcycle? Bicycle? Which is it?

>>1066681
Rented one in Kyoto. Not as cheap as you'd think for Asia.

You will need a CC, Passport, International Permit.

What else do you want to know?

>>1066681
I believe buying requires residency for registration purposes, so not possible for a tourist except on a working holiday.

Look on goobike and webike for listings. And if those websites are too Japanese for you, don't bother at all.

Also note that traffic is slow here and expressways are expensive and a pain. Expect to to lose the better part of 20000 yen if you decide to go through Shikoku, for example.

I'm from a household which earns six figures. Yes. Before travelling. Not that much these days.

>>1066454

I travel once a year, for about three weeks depending on my annual leave/money/destination
I live in the USA

The traffic has been fucking unbearable these past few weeks, even over Xmas going to work was still a nightmare

>>1066835
Yea, I thought that might be a problem, so I decided to do it after Christmas Break, I was only wondering if it has good buildings/touristing areas
