Really difficult if you don't get the degree first, those countries don't want to pay for an Americans education if they aren't sure you won't use it for them. They educate their own to help their respective country, on that side note you're right about America and you have my pity

What if I don't want to study there, and rather just live and work there?

>>1050145
Oh boy, we haven't had a self-hatin' scandiboo in these parts a real long while.

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Notice how that doesn't say running away like a pussy. Why don't you try to improve your own country first scurrying away?

Grew up in Detroit, left in 2008 when things were at their worst, but I visit at least once a year and all my family and friends are still there. The city is definitely coming back. Where you live depends on what you are looking for. There are great affluent neighborhoods, nice blue collar areas, young hipster areas. What type of place are you interested in living in? What are some of your hobbies? Where are you working and how far do you want to travel?

Let me know, OP, would love to help.

Pic related, Belle Isle - fucking awesome.

u gon die boy

No Japan is pretty much a barren wasteland, think something like you would see in Fallout

Here's my travel map. I didn't feel like coloring a US one..

I've just been to California, Nevada (Reno) and Hawaii (Oahu). I plan on visiting Hawaii again this winter to the Big Island.

Germany has recently opened the market for long-distance buses, and they're dumping the hell out of one another. You can travel to any city for just a few EUR.
http://meinfernbus.de/en

check out strassbourg if you want to see a beautiful french/german city. also they have a lot of really beautiful small town around if you are into that. in europe you can hitch hike if you feel like it, otherwise we have carsharingsites and cheap busses

>>1049338
seconded, it's really great for visiting another town for a day or two

if there's any inconvenience they often give you a free ticket for another ride or ~15€ discount or something

Sadly i'm from nordrhein westphalia so i can't help you out otherwise

....bruh.

Not really. If the dude was black and the girl white they might run into some issues in the bible belt.

How many kilometers can you go without collapsing? Also, are you planning to go from A to B or do a roundtrip?

Cycling past the Oude Amstel river would provide with you some nice scenery...

Be sure to include Zaanse Schans. It's about 20 km from Dam Square, so definitely doable by bike.

Other than that, what would you consider your max distance? Are you a fanatic biker who can easily do 150 km a day, or more a recreational type who's going to be dead tired after doing 60?

>>1049066
Roundtrip, anywhere between 15 and 35km would be nice. I don't mind riding the train to go out of the city either.

Isn't that the place with the mechanical bridge ?

Looks like 10 baht coin bro

its a canadian toonie

>>1048832
Yep.
10 baht coin.

Ladyboys are popular

South East Asia is
1. Cheap
2. Safe
3. Easy to enter/get visa
Europe, USA, Australia is not cheap at all
South America is more dangerous and more expensive
Africa is more dangerous, more expensive, hard to get visas
Russia and CIS: not so convenient to get visa, became cheap only very recently
Middle East is mostly dangerous or closed.

>>1048781

Hence the reason I've always been reluctant to go to Southeast Asia. It's basically a babby-tier destination for babby-tier travelers who want to say they've been somewhere poor and exotic. Of course, half the time they just stay in a massive tourist bubble, exploit locals, and act like a bunch of drunken and drugged out bogans.

Protips:
Self-drive vacation and a new town every night is the best way to do Ireland.
Visa and Mastercard are freely accepted. Not a cash society. Charge to your hearts delight. If you use a debit (ie not a real credit card), AMEX or discover or something weird, you might encounter a store that acts like your card doesn't work a few times, because of vendor fees, they might pressure you to produce some other form of payment.
Do you need to carry alot of cash? Nah, you can use a foreign ATM withdrawal as much as you need. It's not uncivilized. Every town will have a bank ATM.
Get a convertor for your phone. Use amazon or newegg to avoid being ripped off. Check that your phone will actually work, set up an unlimited texting plan before you go or buy a SIM, and then simply keep it off unless you're on wifi or something of an emergency.

>>1048743

It never hurts to carry cash (euro) with you, but it is not entirely necessary. Major cards are freely accepted, and ATM's are available everywhere. Get a convertor for your phone charger as well, like the guy above me said.

The best way to do Ireland is to see the countryside; it will only take you a day to enjoy Dublin. Rent a car and drive yourself around the entire country, or/and take as many tours as you can. The euro is very cheap right now, so a cheap price can buy you great long-day tour from Dublin (assuming that's where you'll stay) If you choose to drive yourself, keep in mind that they drive on the opposite side of the road.

Drink as much Guinness as you can, enjoy the locals and their pubs, don't make jokes about the potato famine, don't talk about Northern Ireland (avoid any political talks in general), and have fun!

>>1048737
Relax, Chuck FreedomBurger, you are not going to another planet.

We use the Euroe here in Ireland, so yes you should fucking exchange the currency.

Yes you can use credit cards. Carry as much cash as you want, you can get more out of ATMs.

You can get an adapter for different plug types in the airport (which I am beginning to suspect you have never been to)

Relax, we'll take good care of you. Try not to spend your whole trip in Dublin, it's such a waste. See the countryside.

PRO TIP: don't take interstate see the country side. take your time as much as possible. don't take the same route their and back. enjoy

>>1048564
nm on the same route I see you posted a returning route... should also stop at most national parks they usually rent cabins fairly cheap out of season if your doing this soon.

I'd stay away from Hayward -- a lot of parts are pretty scummy. Union City is better, and Fremont better still -- also Union City and Fremont are an easier commute into Palo Alto. Fremont has a high Asian population; there's a large Chinese grocery store there. You'll need to buy a car -- public transport from the East Bay to the Peninsula is a pain in the ass.

>>1048354
how traffic? yeah i was thinking union city mostly. I just want to live there for cheap but stay away from the crime riddled areas.

Airbnb is a great place to start if you are looking to meet others, travel around a bit, and get a cheap place.

>>1048256
Don'ts:

* Visit Donetsk
* Visit Luhansk

Probably nots:
* Visit Mariupol

Maybes:
* Visit Crimea

If you plan on driving, bring small bills for bribing police. Applies for russia and most likely ukraine too :P

>>1048256

look out for fake money. Ukrainians are pretty good at recognizing them. I was given some at a bus station (buying a ticket at the counter).

How old are you? Why do you need to go with your parents?

If it's your dream... make it happen!

Please check the catalog next time and post in the Japan General Thread >>1046277

>>1047709
I'm 28, but nobody of my friends is intrested in going to Japan.
Currently without a girlfriend so that is also not a option.

Could always go alone, but that would be a last option.
After what they did I might just do that without telling anyone and dissapear for atleast a month.

If I'm going to do that I will need to save up a little bit because as you propably know Japan can be quite expensive.

And I kinda wanted to learn some basic Japanese before going to Japan to make my trip more enjoyable, but because of work and time I always keep putting it off..
