If you travel in Mexico choose ADO. Their brands are: AU (shittier tier), OCC and ADO (normal tier), ADO GL (plus tier).

Uh, yeah.
>23 hours from Hanoi to Vientiane
that was shit because they packed us in like Sardines, it was slow, and you had to sit on sacks of rice for 23 hours
>26 hours from Kunming to Anshun
only took mountain roads through villages, pretty sure I've seen the entire southwest corner of Guizhou.
>36 hours from Urumchi to Hotan
bus broke down just outside of Korla, arrived in Hotan at 4am where I almost got parted from everything I own by a gang of uighurs.

all my horror stories pale in comparison to my friend who took a Greyhound from coastal South Carolina all the way to Iowa to meet a girl that ignored him the entire time he was there! LELELELEL

I hitched a ride from Tbilisi to Yerevan back in July of 2013 with a German couple who were staying at the same hostel as me and a friend. I didn't spend nearly as long in Armenia as I did in Georgia but I still impressed with the country's natural beauty and the hospitality of its inhabitants. Maybe this sounds silly, but I've never been somewhere where fucking borders guards seemed so genuinely happy to see a visitor from a faraway place - this one guy shook my hand, had this huge smile on his face, and kept telling me how much he hoped I enjoyed Armenia.

How easy is it to get around if you don't speak the local language.

Enough what? Whores, sunshine, alcohol and drugs? Yeah they aren't short of those anywhere in Thailand.

Spending a couple of days in Takasaki/Maebashi on my next Japan trip. Anybody got any suggestions on cool things to do other than the Daruma temple? The basic plan is go up either Mt Haruna or Akagi since I'm travelling with a massive Initial D fan but outside of that I'm not too sure what else there is to do in that area.

>>940263
I'll be moving to Aussie this coming month. But I am planning to visit Japan during Australian winter holidays, in August perhaps.

Any Aussie cunts willing to share how much they spend there? From SEA, it's rather cheap flying to Japan using Air Asia, I am afraid tickets from Aussie to Japan gonna be expensive as hell, especially during holiday season.

American here, never gotten shit for being American. I attribute this largely to the fact that I don't walk around with a chip on my shoulder or get defensive when people make a jab at the States.

Really? I get it from people all the time. I don't even care about people being critical of the states because we're nearly a shit-tier country at this point, but people give me shit on the basis of being American.

Bump.

Ask your question here. A lot of Filipino posters. This board is pretty down on the Philippines. Even the Filipino that post here

Where are you going?

As a rule, no-one is going to hassle you other than idiot guys 'flirting' with you. You're probably used to that though. So yeah, unless you're going to a really bad area you'll be fine. Just use your common sense, you're probably more at risk of thieves than rapists etc.

And the obvious stuff: Don't get black-out drunk, keep an eye on your drinks, and most of all have a good time!

>>934452
Germany (Hamburg and Berlin probably).

I tend to be unable to control my alcohol consumption so I might as well not drink at all I think.

Is it common for guys to put things in girls' drinks ? I thought that only happened in fiction.

Are there usually a lot of girls in mixes dorms ?

I'll be studying in Japan for 2 years, starting this year, but i'm poor as fuck.
Any way I can get money as a student fast? I'm thinking of renting a place close to the uni for 28000 yen a month, but between that and the school fee and eating i think it's too much.

Plus, I want internet, so what's a good way to get that?
I'm fluent in japanese, so that's not a problem.

I'll be living in Nagaoka-shi, Niigata-ken, so mostly my transportation would be bike and bus.

Also, what's a good way of transport when it snows? I'm sure the bike won't work then.
