Can you clarify whether you are looking for additional cities/stops between the three you show or things to do at the three locations you are planning to visit?

I've only ever seen the falls from the US side, and an excursion boat in the middle, and they are pretty impressive whether or not you go into Canada. Since I've never crossed the border there, I have no info on how the process works. I would guess it is as easy there as anywhere, given the number f folks visiting the falls and wanting to see it from all sides.

How are you traveling around?

If you have citizenship in one of the right countries, it is pretty easy. The US allows citizens of the 38 visa waiver countries to make short trips to Canada or Mexico, counting the time spent as part of the allotted 90 days. Canada lets citizens of many countries visit without a visa, if visiting by land

On the other hand, if your citizenship is from, say India, things may be more difficult.

I last visited about 30 years ago.. At the time, the crossing was easy for a US citizen, and the view from Canada was superior. Things could have changed since then.

depends when.

if summer, peak district.

nottingham as a city is good night out plus all the robin hood stuff in day.

stratford upon avon is swamped with tourists

I'd look into Derry (Londonderry, or in recent PR stuff Legend-Derry) in addition to or instead of Belfast. You get the same sense of the history of The Troubles, in a smaller and I thought more enjoyable setting.

At the start of the June if I pass my school leaving exam

Any bus station will do.
New Year's Eve isn't any different than any other evening.

I have some vague memory that a bunch of people gather somewhere in NYC for New Years and watch a ball drop r something. Maybe look into that.

>>1054955
Yea that's Times Square and it's totally packed for about 18 hrs before with no toilets or places to sit or eat. I don't intent to do that

I thought New York was meant to be a great place to spend NYE?

My brother went backpacking from Texas to Canada going west to California, then moving up. He got his job back because he was a forklift driver for 4+ years and they needed more drivers so they gave him a tough time, called him a little bitch for leaving and coming back and resumes his life working at the company.

>>1054866
It can be tough to find a job after leaving though. Unemployment rates are high.

>>1054869
They are but if you are qualified enough in a certain field or fields then it won't be that hard may take a few months but eventually you can get a job. Unemployment rates are high for numerous amounts of reasons. You don't have to work for the same company for whatever your specialty is. My brother could've worked for many other warehouses but he chose the one he worked at before. If they didn't hire him, that sucks,but he could've checked around to other companies that probably are hiring people with his skills. The economy isn't based around 1 giant company there are many companies with many different opportunities. Unemployment is high but that could be for many reasons.

Come on guys!!
I am expert in 2chan.

Nah.

>>1054697
Why do you say so?
I want to conversation with foreign people.

I just got back from New Orleans a few weeks ago and DESU I didn't like it. It's pretty damn small and a lot seedier than Vegas (a lot more blacks in New Orleans versus just a lot more white trash in Vegas) so naturally I feel safer in Vegas. Maybe I picked a bad time of year but I really didn't enjoy NOLA.

>>1054690
why does it always feel like I have to drive into the fucking country to get to Newark but then there are photos of it where it looks like it's across the street from Manhattan.

>>1054711
LOL, Which direction are you coming from?

Is the Robot Restaurant worth the price? From the videos iv'e seen I feel like it could be easily missed but it has really good reviews and part of me feels like I should go for the experience.

How hard would it be to get shrooms? Do I have to go through those sketchy Nigerians in Roppongi?
>>1054692
I've heard it's worth going to at least once. Everyone knows it's a overpriced ripoff, but a fun one at least.

gonna relay this one again

Anyone been to EA Gun bar? It's just bb guns and liquer but im still curious about the age limit. Their website doesnt mention anything about it.

Swiss from Zurich here,
Some general tips:
1. don't try to live in Geneva. Almost the whole canton is owned by Russian/Middle Eastern Oligarchs and rent even for small apartments is exorbitant. Try Lausanne and it's suburbs like Morge (direct rapid train connection to geneva)
2. You don't need a car in switzerland. get a train/public transport abonnement, it's cheap and reliable. The whole Geneva - Lausanne area is one big traffic jam on work days. If you need a car there is the thing called mobility
>https://www.mobility.ch/en/private-customers/
where you can rent a car at almost every train station with your mobile phone and a access card for 5-6CHF/hour
3. groceries are fucking expensive, think about going over to france once a week to buy meat and other stuff it's about 50% off just for crossing the border.
4. learn at least basic french, you can get around with english but you won't have fun.
5. Just that I said it: you can't CC/OC a loaded weapon here
6. There's a shitload to do and after you covered your area you have switzerland to explore, you can get anywhere by train within 5hours max, explore and have fun.
Tell me what you like and I can hook you up with things to do.

>>1054495
Be humble or you'll make enemies quick. We're chill and hate people bragging all the time.

If you like weed then enjoy, it's really good, not too expensive and almost legal. Be kinda careful but I smoked a lot in the streets, outside of pubs and at the beach and never had any trouble, the most you risk is a 100CHF fine.

Try to save money and not spend it on bullshit like tons of people do. If you got a decent pay you can save 20k a year.

It might feel depressing at first, but don't kill yourself before May or June when everything wakes up. Maybe go to the mountain while there's still snow.

Get your income tax situation figured out before you move. Even if you live in the canton of Zug, but work in Zurich, you will be hit with the Zurich tax rate. I have no experience with Geneva, they are likely totally different. You are still on the hook for American taxes, but you do get a good portion of it exempt for being an expatriate. Talk to an international tax lawyer and get everything set up.

Aside from that, plan your weekends. You can now spend a day and night in a European capital for cheap. You can even day trip many places for just a rail ticket.

If you are in tech, Switzerland does not have much of a start up culture. That's the only reason to leave, otherwise I would have stayed there forever, even if I had to marry to stay there.

Zurich and Silicon Valley have similar costs of living for a young single guy.

i'd reccomend the new forest where I live, its got quite a few of those little villages you're after, see burley for example.

i can recommend you some nice pubs and stuff all along the south coast but all of the places i know are by the sea, and presumably you're gonna stop when you reach the sea.

>>1054191
I'm really excited about the new forest, one of the most recent places I've read about and it sounds fantastic

Think we're going to hit Devon then ride along the coast to Cornwall

Please do, I love a good pub

>>1054214
well if you're going to the new forest you might as well stop off in bournemouth. My favourite place there is a bar called chaplins/the cellar bar in boscombe. Good food, good beer, great atmosphere, live local bands every night, i believe it got voted the best bar in the country at one point, though i don't know if that can possibly be true.

unfortunately actually in the new forest i don't know what to tell you, everyone will basically just go to their local so off the top of my head i can't think of anywhere special, but they should all have a nice little country atmosphere that should be refreshing if you're from a city

Everyone I know that has taught English in China has always said they had a blast, up until their contract ended, they wanted to get a new job, etc. Every single one of them said their last 1-3 pay checks were with held and never paid out. Literally every single one.

Go to university first, 4 year degree minimum (Education preferred but not required). However I know people in Australia who only finished Year 12 and are teaching in Europe so who the fuck knows.

I'll be real with you, TEFL teachers are a joke. You're pretty much a clown/babysitter, you aren't a linguistic expert nor are you typically educated in education itself if you do a degree not in education. I haven't done TEFL but it interested me and I looked into it; shit pay, no respect/terrible reputation from retards who can confuse than & then.

If you like the idea of teaching, go into education (Primary/High school take your pick, go High school as Primary is female dominated and it gives you more growth; I'm a male Australian primary teacher and I wouldn't trade it for the world but I know that primary lacks a career ladder of sorts). Become an actual teacher in a country which actually values education (LOL) and enjoy a decent standard of living.

Or go to uni, do something better than an education degree (See: Anything) and get a good job.

ironic how in the sentence where I am ripping on improper grammar I end up fucking up my sentence.

commit suicide by cop

>>1053955
This trip is gonna be my suicide

I'd rather experience this trip and die in the process, rather than blowing my brains out.

>>1053956
Fuck dude, that's bleak.

How long you survive depends at least a good amount on you. Just like your current situation at least somewhat depends on you. Why do you have no job or no schooling? I'm not saying you can do anything you want if you put your mind to it, but no matter the hand you're dealt you can always, ALWAYS make your situation that much better through your own determination and will.

If you have depression, it sucks. I'm sure it does. Start doing physical exercise. Lifting, running. Especially running. It will make you feel a bit better. I promise. It literally alters the chemicals in your head.

What do you like? Everyone likes something. Live for that--at least for now, no matter how small. The point of life, at the end of the day is happiness and enjoyment. Concentrate and that thing that makes you happy and just focus on it.

Anyway, good luck, man.

City i'd say Budapest for sure ! It's beautiful, cheap, has attractive girls and cool clubs and bars.

Obviously Ibiza is the ultimate I'd you are into that sort of thing but beware it is expensive to the point of insanity. €10-15 for a bottle of water one of the super clubs.
You'd be better off somewhere like split to be honest, will be cheaper than Ibiza and more beautiful

>going transatlantic just to party
waste of money desu

source?
im going feb 9th... going regardless
what warning

Tell them your Canadian. There is way less hostility towards them.

>>1053555
why are you acting so shocked? Highest alert is where its at all the time, really. Check travel.state.gov whenever you're going somewhere if you want to know what (the US state dept) currently is the warning status of your trip destination. It's a pretty useful website by region, city, and might list things like crime against tourists, from gypsy stuff to cafes or things to be aware about. It also lets you register yourself much as you would a float plan or hiking thing, just so someone knows where you are.

I'm going to tell OP if you want to look like a local, wear a european brand of something, like your shoes or some adidas crap, or else look a touch more fashionable or slightly more businessy, as is the norm in Italy. American slob-comfortable and casual wear isn't typical of a local. They'd have on fashionable pants or a sweater over the shoulders. Women wear skirts, not shorts and sleeveless isn't good for visiting churches.

I think you'll be fine in Italy, but the usual warning to think on your feet, avoid crowds/demonstrations, sports gatherings, and such. Fanny packs/man purses are more common than backpacks. Avoid it all, if you must, by wearing something under a jacket when in crowds.

If you were a policeman or someone with some kind of training, you'd not sit with your back to a door when dining or in a store. Awareness always is just what you do to avoid being a crime victim, and applies to terrorist stuff too.

make sure you go home.

The weather is always shit, just do outside stuff anyway. In winter there's snow sometimes, in spring/summer/autumn it rains all of the time.

Also leave more information on what you like.
Also, you're essentially asking for an all-round tour of the GB and Ireland - nobody's going to write that for you.

>cheap/good hostels
Premier Inn, there's one in most towns

Instead of the cities you have, I made some edits:
>Dublin
>St. Ives
>Cardiff
>Glasgow
>York
>Leicester
>London
St Ives is a beautiful town in Cornwall with Lands End to the west and the Devon national park to the east.
Cardiff is the capital of Wales and is worth a visit, be wary of their alien accent
York is a great place to go, everyone will say the women are slags and it's a shithole, that's in the suburbs. City center is nice with great Viking history and historical architecture.
Leicester is also good, visit the train museum.
Do NOT visit Liverpool or to a lesser extent Manchester. They are shitholes and you will find it spoils the trip.
