no but that list doesn't sound bad either. are you some sort of loser or something thats content living in your town your entire life?

I did none of that while travelling.

>not being at home
>making friends easily because your accent is different
>being vaguely directionless and apathetic wins undeserved respect.

>>924198
God no, I want to move away from my home town, but none of that shit appeals to me.
I'm in a relationship that's not lacking in sex, I don't drink, I don't care about food and I really don't care about taking photos or even looking at shit half of the time.
That's all it ever really seems to boil down to, looking at shit.

because their minds dont think like normal humans. They have NO senses of humor, literally you tell them a joke and they will wonder why you intentionally said an illogical and untrue story. They don't really know how to relax, the german mind is always obsessed with seeking effeciency and perfection, and feel they have to do everything to its fullest potential. Losing at a game of darts, for instance, to a brit is just something that happens. To a german it is a shameful display of laziness and ill preperation.

They are fucking hard to deal with.

Southern Europeans are different to us Anglo-Germans and Scandinavians

We are as a society a lot more closed off and private, latins are really the opposite. They're taught from an early age how to have fun, which unfortunately grim northerners aren't.

You see it in the East of Europe too, Czechs and Russians are a lot less friendly than Croats, Bulgarians or Greeks, so maybe it's something to do with climate too, idk.

>>911046
dont bring Swedes into this one, they are social and know how to have a good time.

was she actually Japanese?

>>922849
Yep. She was from a fairly new company and the company targets (English-speaking) foreigners on their website as their niche. They have some pretty girls that speak English, but I found they bent over backwards to help me because I spoke passable Japanese.

I would like to try in Prague. Some experience or site?

Nah I'm thinking maybe 3 or 4 years but I won't rule it out.

Depends on what your standard of living is and your sailing experience. What size boat are you looking at? How handy are you at fixing things? Are you looking to buy at a lower price and fix her up yourself or do you want one that will require minimal set up?

Tour Montparnasse.

>>919594
I'd compare the winter to a typical Norwegian winter, not much below zero. A warm jacket and a sweater underneath should be all you need.
You'll find easily accessible hostels anywhere, don't need to know much to ask for "room" and pay for it. Most hostels can also use a free translating service, should be no problem.
Christmas in Seoul is a very much couples thing, not that much to do if you're single, I guess

>>919594
Whether you should buy the KTX rail pass or not depends on how much you want to travel around, or how quickly you might get bored at one location.
I'd probably visit a mountainside village for a while, then head for Seoul or Busan.

>>919605
Will it be easy to get a hostel room by just showing up on the day, and not having made any previous booking?

>>919606
Most of my time will be spent in Seoul, then I'll go to Busan stopping at two or three places along the way. No idea how much a regular ticket costs (e.g Seoul to Busan) so can't really tell if the pass is good value or not

>>921466
What are some good love hotels in Kyushu?

Any ones with outstanding rooms?

Whats some fun things to do for an English teaching weeaboo Yakuza while in japan?

what gardens should i check out in kyoto considering that i'm going in the first week of december? i'll be in kyoto for four days.

>>920743
People who spend too much time on their appearance usually aren't able to have much fun.

I just make sure I don't make any faux pas in my attire. If I'm going to a religious site I make sure to wear long pants and a shirt, etc etc.

I dress casual even for work and I pretty much wear the same thing when I travel.

>dressing different when you travel

who does that?

As stupid as it sounds, when I'm traveling and staying in hostels I like to wear shirts with logos from places I've been to. It's a great conversation starter.

>oh hey, cool shirt, you've been in X?

How did you acquire all that money? Sounds like a good idea anyway, but there are about five of these threads a week. Read around.

tldr: traveling is what you make of it. If you're lonely at home you'll probably be lonely on the road. There's added freedom, but no you won't have immediate companionship wherever you go. The general feedback is to choose your hostels wisely, be outgoing, and you'll come across people going where you are. Unless you're content to be very isolated, this is the best practice, and you get the best of the freedom and of companionship, with the added benefit of having friends and acquaintances from all over the world.

I searched travel alone and alone and nothing relevant came up.

>>915178
what do you think tldr means?

>in Istanbul
>late night, take taxi back
>fuck, I realize I don't have small change
>taxi driver pulls the "you gave me only 5 lira!" when I gave him 50

Took his picture and license plate down. Not that it helped me any.

>>918160
Had something similar happen to me.
>take shared taxi (collectivo) to one of the archeological sites in Mexico
>40 pesos for the ride
>first one to exit the van, driver opened the side door for us, I give him 40 pesos in coins
>everyone exits, slowly take out wallets and pay for their ride, we all start walking away (new people I just met while waiting for the ride)
>taxi driver starts yelling that I didn't pay him
>lucky for me, guy I just met was from Spain so he translated for me to tell the driver that I gave him coins
>suddenly the driver remembers...
>girl who was in the van with us had a good laugh at the whole situation

>>918159

>hotel staff are great
>nice enough to type a review for you
>save you time

I don't see what the problem is.

Basically you want to be a sex tourist... fuckup and you end up in prison for a long time. Good luck... I guess go pick up some newspapers from your local porn shop.. or find some forums and ask there.

Surprised not to get arrested or be dead

That's the thing about Nepalese. They're so eager to help even when they have no idea what they're doing.

>solo-trekking the tour de mont blanc during the off season
>decide to do two days of trekking in one while crossing from france into italy cuz fuckit
>French side is ezpz
>cross over to Italian side
>fuck there's so much snow where's the trail
>why are all the signs and trees are knocked over
>sun is going down and i need to reorient myself fuck
>end up going up side of mountain to scope out the trail
>follow safe-looking crest of mountain to get down to trail
>get back onto trail, look back
>the other side of the crest that I followed is a 90 foot sheer drop hidden by loose snow and if I stepped over I would have fallen
>finally reach courmayeur after 16 hours, feet are wet, bottom half of face is burnt, ankles are probably fucked but snow-packed boots numbed the feeling

>Get really drunk in a hostel with some other people in Rome.
>We decide to walk to the Colosseum.
>See a fountain on the way and climb it to take a picture
>Decide it would be a good idea to jump of the top of the fountain.
>With my entire bodyweight behind it, my ribcage smashes into concrete lip of fountain and I hear a large cracking noise.
>Stand up and can't breathe
>Can't even gasp for air
>Despite this, I feel very level headed internally
>Time slows down a lot
>Feel to see if rib is broken
>Not sure
>Finally take in huge breath

I guess I just had the wind knocked out of me. Other than my ribcage aching really badly for weeks, nothing bad happened, but looking back I feel really stupid about it. I easily could have broken a rib or gotten internal bleeding.

Realtraveler?

>>919943
Nope.

Worked for the FBI for 7 years, quit to move to Japan with a load of savings, got a nice paying job, hated it, quit, ran out of money and had a financial situation back home that emptied my funds, apartment contract renewal was up at the same time, didn't have money to renew the lease nor for a plane ticket back home. Ended up sleeping in internet cafes until I had the money to return to the states.

That's the condensed version.

>>919945
Scariest moment?

If they are having kids, I'd hope they wouldn't make the children they are raising to feel that way, or think that there is actually any problem with that. As for the white people thing, generally speaking, ( you can Google the statistics ) people trust white people more. so that's probably maybe a thing.

because if you marry a chink, you're still a chink

but if you marry a murkan, you get to be a murkan and a chink

>>919936
Yes.

Also with a couple of exceptions asians want to be western. And there's a lot of asian girls who find western guys more attractive.
Plus, you're rich. And you can probably get them to move to Aus/Eng/US which would otherwise be out of reach.
