Do you really think that you can base a vacation around some fantasy from a fictional video game?

Maybe graduate middle school while youre at it, even the biggest retards I know are aware of Afrikaners

Congratulations on gettiing a job and leaving South Africa. You're lucky it's Shanghai, since there is a lot more people on average who speak some English.

There are three things you should be able to do to be considered a human being by Chinese people.
>know how to eat with chopsticks
>know a few simple phrases at least
>know how to squat (Chinese squat not Slav squat, there's a difference)

Can't gice you much advise on Shanghai specifically, only been there for a few days, but it's one of the most Westernized cities in China.

Get a VPN before you go so you can get around the internet restrictions.

>Any tips for what I should prepare for or things I need to know for being completely independent for the first time in my life?

You go to youtube and subsribe to serpentZA and watch all the videos where he actually talks about China instead of his motorbike because he did what you are going to do.

>Great food restaurants. Especially food trucks
>Metro consistently sucks
>Interns everywhere

Most people I know live on the far ends of the metro line like Silver springs. It's hot and not an easy place to wear a suit. Very pretty place imo

Swampy so have airy clothes
In summer it's 100 degrees with 100% humidity
Watch out for black people

Full of libtards, gays, niggers, and bad drivers. Enjoy our nations capital!

Which one are you going to? General tips:
>pick the right day (if you can)
Use this: http://www.isitpacked.com/disneyland-crowd-forecast-predictor-calendar/
>utilize Fastpasses
They're free. Get Fastpasses on the most popular rides early in the day, like for Space Mountain. On crowded days they usually run out of Fastpasses by the midway through the day.
>buy souvenirs at end of day or ask them to hold it for you at the park exit
That way you can pick it up at end and not have to carry it around all day. The main street shops and downtown Disney (assuming you're in Anaheim) close an hour after park closing
>ask for ice water instead of buying bottled water
You can ask for it at any restaurant
>bring sunscreen and your own water/snacks

I dunno anon, what do you want to do at Disneyland? There's nothing to really avoid

I dont know why a single person would ever want to go there

>>1274070
Because kids lose their shit for it.

>>1273032

Specifics? Are you meaning social interactions or money issues, or language problems?

>>1273050
I am thinking about general things. I am middle aged, but so far I went always with my older sister o with my parents everywhere, if there was some kind of issue they knew it what to do.

I am completely terrified by the fact that something happens I won't be able to do anything against it. For example my luggage won't arrive to the airport, I won't be able to find the corect direction, etc. etc.

I have so big panic that I am thinking about cancelling the whole thing while I already paid everything.

Just do it faggot.

>>1272874
>Can anyone tell me how the people are there
Normal.
>what kind stuff I should do in the area?
Kill yourself.

Jena is comfy, maybe a bit too comfy.

I assume you're talking about my thread from 3 years ago, unless by coincidence there's another Mainer who did it more recently.
No, I've done nothing crazy since. I might do it again next year; dunno when exactly.
Maine is lovely this time of year, you are all welcome.

ask her?

>why don't people like what I like: the thread

While I'm young and wouldn't consider blowing money on a resort, I can understand why others might.

If you're not particularly adventurous and work 40 or 50 hours per week, you might not feel inclined to have a 'real traveler' experience on your ten days of vacation per year. Sometimes it can be nice to just relax and have all your needs taken care of. I imagine a resort would be ideal for over-worked or stressed-out folks who want to forget about life for a while and not have to worry about anything other than what flavor their next drink is going to be.

Personally I'd never do something like that, but I guess for them it's just a way to relax and disconnect from everything.

You and I enjoy researching, planning, looking for places to see, things to do etc. I think for them doing all this things would be stressful, as they don't really enjoy travelling the way we do.

For me it would be a fucking nightmare being day after day laying on a beach and getting drunk. For them, it's paradise.

I can understand it, but I'll never relate to them.

The problem with Cambodia is Thailand does everything better. You might find a few nice spots in bars and whatever but most of the country is populated by people too stupid to be marked for genocide by pol pot and bottom of the barrel Westerners who fled to Cambodia because they can be left alone to do Meth and commit sex crimes.

>>1271325
The moment when I realized that our tuk tuk guy/guide was Khmer Rouge, killed people himself.

>>1271325
I see. The thing is as much as I read about Cambodia, I don't find anything really interesting apart from Angkor. Maybe it would be a good idea to spend just 3 days in the country and them move somewhere else in SEA.

>>1271328
kek. Just another day in Cambodia I guess.

They are both full of insufferable lefties, I'd recommend Canterbury if you want more nightlife and connection to London. Norwich is more English and out of the way

>>1269697
>They are both full of insufferable lefties
Do you mean the cities, or the universities? I think the simple fact that they are universities implies that they'd be full of lefties. My university in the US is no different unfortunately.
>Norwich is more English
Could you elaborate on that please. Is it the demographics of the university? And speaking of demographics, which city has the least muslims?

>>1269510
Live in Norwich, went to university in Canterbury and I say go for the UEA. Canterbury is a nice place to visit, but it's a complete fucking hole to live in as a student as it's just too small and quaint.

Norwich is great tho. In my opinion just as pretty as Canterbury but with so much more in terms of pubs/things to do (it'd be difficult to find a small city that's better for pubs than Norwich). Clubs are a weak link in both, but at least Norwich has a good deal of bands that visit, Canterbury gets sweet fuck all because of how small and close to London it is. Also, I kinda feel that people in Norwich are more friendly than people from Canterbury but that might just be the accent so YMMV.

The best country for australians to spend money in is australia.

visit your parents house, its out your bedroom door and down the hallway.

>will get me the most beers, massages and everything else

Thailand is fucking awesome for all three. I'm going over seas at the end of the year but haven't decided where to go yet. Was thinking Eastern Europe but the draw to go back to Japan and/or Thailand is intense. Really need to see somewhere new though. Maybe a quick stopover in Bangkok on the way home before they get rid of the street food and a trip or two to Nana Plaza before spending a few days on the beach at a resort and then heading back home.

>>1274222
My understanding is that Florida is generally not recommended as a first-time visit to the US, because it's mostly filled with suburbs, shopping malls. and old people.

>>1274234
I second this, and I live here.

>>1274234
>>1274236
I would say that Amsterdam isn't much either, but still a lot of tourists.

>>1274177
shut the fuck up

I've been there many times, bro. Settle down somewhere interesting and socialize with other travelers for a few weeks.
And stay hydrated if you have the shits. Dehydration can affect you emotionally.

>>1274182
Just been casually drinking some water. I hope its just dehydration that is affecting me.
