really good, it's like other parts of SE asia but more chinese influenced and less corporate (outside of saigon that is)

I would recommend Saigon though because you get treated a little better by the locals (don't forget that some vietnamese still hate white people because of the US).

Probably my favorite country. Awesome outgoing population that will try to scam the shit out of you if you let them, beautiful scenery (seriously beautiful, I've never seen better), everything is cheap and even the cheap things can be haggled. I hope I can live there some day.

Are the busses to be trusted getting between Ho Chi and Hanoi/Phnom Penh? Some dude wired on meth and awake for 36 hours isn't going to drive into a ravine, is he?

You should break up with her, not even joshing m8

>>970941
C'mon OP only you know your girlfriend. If you're worried enough to ask this here, then yes you should be worried.

has anyone here had sex with a girl while travelling while she was dating someone else?

it's pretty fun. if you haven't been to tokyo, bangkok, or hong kong yet though, go to those places instead.

this is coming from a guy who's been to those cities and has lived in korea (still am) for the last 3 years.

I'm an Australian and feeling bored too. SK looks pretty gay, I'd rather go to NK.

If you want to just have good cheap wholesome fun try Cambodia, they have errything.

>>974939

please don't. i went to cambodia, it's swarming with australian frat boys and european douchebags wearing sleeveless shirts, getting drunk and acting like assholes, climbing on the ancient ruins and basically being an embarrassment to the west.

Can you read?

You should know it's extremely hard getting into the JET program--especially for British people as the Japanese want western-American accents.

>>974319
Yeah I can read man, thanks for the link too. when I searched for the JET program earlier I got a crappier, "with less infomation" website. Ill have a good look through.

Im sure if I have the requirements I'll have a good chance.

>>974331
Current JET here. Unfortunately it's not that easy... Many good applicants end up being rejected. I'm not really sure why.

Take it easy, though. You're years away from having to deal with things like packing, assuming you get in.

I live in Ljubljana but never did the sightseeing. Anyway, from the top of my head I would recommend the following sights: Ljubljana castle (great view from the top), old part of town (nice cafes, restaurants and shops), take a walk by the river from Preseren square to Trnovo, maybe some museums.

For the nightlife depends what you like. Metelekova or Tovarna Rog are a great experince (totally safe although it looks a bit alternative / underground). Cirkus and Top Six are two big clubs where the type of music depends on the day of the week. Would also recommend Neboticnik for a drink anytime of the day (nice view).

>>973343
Do a daytrip to Lake Bled.

>>973866
Thanks for the recommendations I'll check them out.

>>973867
I'll also be going to Bled for 2 days after Ljubljana.

>>976156
Will you report dyring the trip? What if u die, murdered, kidnapped or other stuff?

>>976165
OP here, switched computers.

Reporting during will be hard, since I've no way to get pictures off my camera (though mobile data is only $15/gb). I'll probably be incognito till I get back, like OreTrain guy.

Being murdered or kidnapped is extremely unlikely, dying of alcohol poisoning from the local delicious fruit vodka is more likely.

Stepping on a landmine or cluster bomb is possible.

>>976170
Will you look for girls, whores, escorts and more? Any drug intention?

You're right. I hate Thailand video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54uzEouACYs

>>975126
This video was made by the Thailand Tourism Authority, but it does have a seed of truth. As seen by my friend from the last thread who is now trying to only have "one time in Thailand". A lot of the diving instructors and such are like the guy in the video. Here's an amateur video, though. Showing more backpacker stuff.

Digital nomad here.

Multiple degrees, specialist knowledge, indispensable to some employers, occasionally insane commitment to professionalism and to results.

>>973231
Oh, and I gave away, sold or burnt everything that I had before I left, I have nothing to go back to and no commitments beyond client contracts.

Not op but ???

Anyone hiked in the "alps"? Looking at the area around Murodo for staying a few nights and perhaps walking from place to place, if possible. Anyone have any experiences from the area?

>how do I become a Yakuza

Wat do?

if i get a small tattoo in a visible spot, will i be restricted in most tourist areas in tokyo?

and by touristy stuff I really meant to say things I could have researched online, I've done quite a bit of looking into what I might want to do but was hoping to hear some stories of hidden gems and things not a lot of tourist get to see/do

>>970453
Go bug CCP at their offices.

You sure you've allotted enough time for the Ring Road? 7 days seems just about the minimum.

www.insidethevolcano.com seems interesting. costs an arm and a leg like everything else though

>>970482
is there anything to do there besides bug them

We already did.

Technically that's no a sex tourism thread.

Although I haven't read all the posts it's entirely some of the hookups listed where romantic situations and the people involved could still be in a happy relationship today.

>>973302
You can't have a dedicated sex tourist thread here. I don't know why, but they literally always get deleted, even though no mention of them is made in the board rules

Street partiers, liberation day national holiday in Kuwait. Everybody gets in their car, packing squirt guns, and goes nuts along the main drag by the Gulf. SIlly string is now banned becasue the young men would use it to block the windshield of cars with pretty girls in them, so the girls would have to get out of the car and clear it away, and they could chat them up. Irked the social norms, plus left masses of silly string somebody had to clean up later,

Can someone offer some advice to help me get over my fear of flying over oceans?

>>964212
Are you afraid of flying or afraid of flying over oceans?

>>964212
Familiarity breeds contempt. Fly over oceans, the fear will fade. Unless you have a honest to good mental problem at the phobia level, in which case you'll need to get some psych help, and good luck.

Can I ask you to post more pictures?

If so, then please, I ask you o post more pictures.

>>971595
Did you go to Bangkok? If so, how was immigration? I have been told I need to bribe the official to get in. I'm American but will be flying in from Japan.

Kindly greentext stories about your encounters with the local ladies, good sir.
