Seriously consider Wales

Definitely see a pantomime.

Where you planning on travelling in SEA ?

>>1044699
Indonesia, Thailand, Laos , Cambodia, Vietnam, and a Malaysia just to see Singapore for a day.

>>1044696
For the full trip? Unless you want to go full hobo mode, no.

Airfare will be in the 3-4k region at least even if you get all flights as super saver specials.
SEA about $25 per day (2250), Australia $50 per day (1500), South America $35 per day (2100) is what you need for hostel, mostly cook your own meals, no/tiny amounts of alcohol, non smoker, minimal public transport/taxi use and maybe going out every other week once.

so
3000
+2250
+1500
+2100
= 8850
add some other stuff you will need like:
a taxi, long train rides, travel insurance, visa fees, doing some crazy stuff, entrance fees, replacement of lost damaged gear/cloths you want about$100 per week.

A healthy reserve of at least $1500 cash for emergencies (just to get home if needed, get a passport replaced, if you get robbed not be fully fucked till your insurance sends some money, and banks can shut down in SEA and South America without notice, so you want cash)

I was in Indonesia last week. Me and my friends got kidnapped by ISIS sympathizer groups and got transported to an ISIS compound. We all got beheaded while being taped for their new video release!
I'm a ghost girl btw

Think of all the wear and tear you could have saved on your fingers by not typing that... what a waste.

It's my favorite country.
Went twice so far.
2 years ago for 10 months in total.
This August I revisited for a trip across Sumatra
>9 living in Jakarta, with trips to Lampung, Yogja
>1 month doing the Bali, Lombok, Gili T thing.
Recommendations:
>Definitely go to Yogja for Borobudhur & Prambanan
>Climb a Volcano, I went to Krakatau & Prambanan
>Go to Pangandaran for Green Canyon, canyoning there was so awesome I did it twice in those 9 months.
>Near Bogor is Puncak, hilly area with a natural park, paragliding and the like.
>Mount Bromo is touristy but great to see.

Location of Pyramiden for your convenience

>>1044559
>Would love to visit Bear Island and Kerguelen Island some day.

I'd like to visit Kerguelen too one day, too bad the price for a return trip costs as much as a trip around the world + more.

I'm doing geology at university, im hoping at some point ill do a research project on igneous rocks and get to go there with research grants.

Australia

where are you from?
and you want to go to mexico and explore then go to japan and explore?

or you just mean how to get from mexico to japan in the cheapest and best way?

>>1044313
You phrase it an odd kind of way.

Asumiendo que eres Mexicano y que quieres viajar a Japon, pues está cabrón. El vuelo te va a salir en unos 20,000 MXN, entonces sera mejor que te prepares y que vayas unas 2-3 semanas de ser posible para hacer que el gasto en transporte valga la pena.

Aeromexico es caro pero cómodo y conveniente, tienen vuelos directos a Tokyo desde Monterrey, DF y Tijuana. Si tienes visa para USA, considera American / United, ellos te pueden dar precios mas competitivos, aunque son mas austeras.

Ahorita el yen esta débil, pero tambien el peso... aunque probablemente sólo empeore la situación del peso. Te va a salir caro, pero vale la pena. Considera gastar unos 40,000 en un viaje de 10 dias, semi-austero... usando airbnb, usando un poco de tren bala y comprando comida economica por lo general. Si tienes mas dudas nada mas pregunta.

>>1044377

>40000 en 10 dias

not OP but I just booked my tickets for New Years, about 10 days, what do you spend 40000 pesos on? I was planning to spend about $500 or so on airbnb?

I did a short trip by car to Netherlands and Belgium recently. Been to Amsterdam, Hague, Rotterdam, Utrecht and Maastricht. I've slept in a tent in Amsterdam and then rented bungalows on various campings 20-30 km away from the major cities. Moved strictly on foot through the cities, it's tiring but the best way to get the feel of a city.
Random observations:
- piss easy to communicate in English, pretty much everyone speaks it well
- the bikes are a pain in the ass and you constantly have to watch out for them. Impressive how popular they are though.
- how can you live with no drapes in your windows?
- those omnipresent Ja/Nee stickers on the mailboxes, do they really work? I can't imagine leaflet spammers care much.
- let op! Drempels! Holy fuck stop putting those everywhere. Also they're all really high and kept scratching my poor car's belly.
- stroopwaffels are God's gift to mankind

All in all, it was a fun trip and I liked it there.

>>1042750

>Ja/Nee stickers

Companies have to comply with them. The delivery guy would get fired if he just ignored them all the time.

>>1042411
everything in the netherlands is overrated as fuck

Are you going to kidnap me and take my organs away?

>>1041554
So I always wondered about those. Do you see any savings compared to someone who takes a compact car and stays in cheap motels? It seems like those camper vans burn through fuel fast and have a lot of maintenance involved. Plus you still have to pay if you want to use a campground.

>>1041554
Maybe... I'm in Norfolk

Kuwait is safe to travel but no public displays of affection or allowed and alcohol can be hard to come by. Don't get me wrong, it's not impossible, but it's technically illegal so you are dealing with a black, prohibition, type market and all that entails.

I'd suggest, after meeting the fam, take a flight over to UAE or Bahrain for more wesern style fun. There is shoping there but even Kuwaitiis go to the aforementioned destinations for leisure. It's funny being on a plane, they announce they have left Kuwaiti airspace, and there's a long line at the bathroom and women go inside in burkas, and come out in their most luxurious western style dresses and wear.

But to your main point, no issue being a westerner. A lot of western military, contractors, and other expats there already.

>>1040679
tl;dr You can be out with a female, unlike Saudi, but no touching or PDA. She might have a male family member there, just because, though.

Okay guys thanks for the advices so Far! How is the public transport there? Or would it be better to rent a car?

Am i allowed to drive with a kuwaiti girl next to me?

>>1041750
£300 each..

£50-100 i suppose, depends what you're doing...obviously.

>>1041754
Eating, using public transport seeing the sex museum and Anne Frankes house and smoking a lot of weeeed. I am a bodybuilder though so I require a lot of food.. £60 each enough?

Do you know how to drive a stick, or have you confirmed this car is an automatic. Granted I had a confirmed automatic and still ended up with a stick before.

>>1040960

Confirmed automatic. I don't drive stick, so I called up the rental company to make sure. Any ideas on the health insurance stuff?

>>1040960
If I had a nickle for every time that has happened to me, I'd have a couple of nickles...

Irritating...

(I can drive a stick, but when in UK didn't want to mess with one more thing being in the "wrong" place... there was enough to deal with without THAT.)

How did you enter NZ in the First place without a flight-back-ticket?
Why do you want to leave NZ in summer though?
Be ready to pay 650-1000€ for the flight bra.

>>1040478
http://www.dohop.com/

Not sure which cities you prefer, but it came out around 700-800 euros.

>>1040482
I guess he lives in NZ and by return flight he means to Germany and then back home.

>>1040321
Go to a national park, or as many as you can. Bring bear spray and possibly mosquito nets. I've heard there are also rafting opportunities. Alaska is my dream trip, Gates of the Arctic National Park in particular. If you go let us know how it is

>There was a large migration of gangs from LA to Anchorage in the 80s and 90s

Say fucking what now?

I live in Kasilof, Alaska, and if you've never been up here I'd recommend visiting Homer and possibly Seldovia or taking the ferry to Kodiak which is rather inexpensive, Denali National park is pretty cool I suppose, Kennicott mines are interesting if you're into historical mining landmarks and what not, Seward and Valdez are both beautiful areas but there isn't shit there really aside from like camping and boat tours which I recommend doing the one in either seward or valdez where they take you right up to the edge of the glacier, pretty epic watching massive chunks of ice falling into the water right next to you, idk I probably know a ton of other shit you'd be interested in too, I've lived here my whole life

>How much job are there? I'm allowed to work 20% of the week there.

You can get an illegal job in a 7 11 store, but you will get exploited. Also anything in hospitality is good, try getting a kitchen hand job in a hotel or a large restaurant. The larger the establishment the more protection you will have from the law.
>Any of you guys who lives there?
I live in Melbourne, so my advice on Sydney is limited.

Are you Chinese?

>>1040061
I'm Swedish.

>>1040055
>I like mountains
hopefully not too much, the tallest mountain in Australia is like 1500 feet, the continent is crazy flat

>>1040037
$500 for the emergency flight back home and your sorted anything more than that and you can make on the road.

some countries are real assholes about the (proof of) funds you have in order to enter the country and get the visa/visa entry. It's a roll of the dice, but you often see filthy backpackers getting pulled up for it, particularly ones that thought they could work whilst there.

>>1040046

Been to plenty of countries that list "proof of funds" as an entry requirement and I've never been asked to show mine. I think you're fine as long as you don't look like a miserable vagrant and are from a first-world country.

Eat as much local food as you possibly can. Almost all of it is amazing.

go to night clubs and pick up girls
