This seems more like /int/ banter than /trv/.
Southern Italians do clap when planes land, yes. Northerners think that's retarded.

As a guy that was on 20+ Ryanair and Alitalia flights to Italy I can confirm there are always a few old ladies that calp on landing.

>>1271309
Well I don't, but I've been on flights from Malpensa, Bergamo, Ciampino, maybe 50 times in my life, and yes a few of them had clapping onn landing. Maybe 25% did? I put it down to passengers new to air travel. One thing Italians used to do which was highly annoying, is turn up really late at checkin, the gate and sometimes cause delays. That was over 20 years ago.

WHY DOESNT ANYBODY CAREEEEE

Communism

Oh thanks.

Singapore: Why would you even consider this? It's just a shitload of malls, and it's hot as fuck. Nothing redeeming about it as a travel destination.

Taiwan: Cute girls, lots of nature in a small area, genuinely really friendly people, and most people in Taipei speak at least basic english. Most liveable place in Asia.

Japan: The best out of these for travel, by far. The culture and sights are fascinating, the people are interesting to meet, the rail infrastructure is unmatched so it's crazy easy to hop around on bullet trains around the country with a rail pass. Girls aren't as easy if that's your thing though.

>>1271275
Also, depends on when you're going. Taiwan's weather is shit much of the year.

>>1271275
If you have narrowed it down to these three you are probably boring as fuck. So do whichever one you want, it will be subpar as far as asia goes.

Doing the Inca trail around the same time, I wouldn't mind some advice as well :)

>>1271147
Yeah I did it. You can book it in any of the shops for $150 for the five day version.

First day: You walk up to the mountain, really nice views and you can go up a glacier lagoon which is really cool. Great day

Second day: You walk up to the mountain and over the pass, really GOAT views and the mountains look really rugged and later the day you decend to the jungle which is a nice change

Third day: Absolute shit, just walking on a shitty jungle road, nothing interesting. Later the day you can go to some hot springs that are nice but not really hot. Part of the day is done in bus

Fourth day: Really got annoyed that day because the night before they said "you can either go ziplining for $30 and we bring you to the hostel or you have to walk next to the road and railroad", fucking annoying to walk on that shitty road for two hours with no shade and trucks passing by and then the railroad track was pure cancer as well

Fifth day: Wake up really early, see Machu Picchu, don't forget to book a ticket to Machu Picchu or Huayna Picchu mountain or you can't climb it. MAKE SURE TO KNOW EXACTLY HOW YOU ARE GOING TO GO BACK. If they say you go back by car: DON'T DO IT YOU WILL HAVE TO DECEND MACHU PICCHU AND WALK TO THE HOSTEL AND THEN BACK THE TRAIN TRACKS. It's pure cancer. And from there you have to wait maybe 2 or 3 or 4 hours before your shitty van departs that will take another good 3-4 hours to reach Cusco. Go back by train.

Oh and they will start hassling you for tips each day. First day it's nothing, but second day $10 for the mule handlers, then they want $20 for the cook and the guide wants $30 on the last day. I expected to give them maybe $20 in tips but that felt like a rip off. Just say you have only $25 with you or something and that's it.

I don't really know what to think of the trek, yes you get really nice views of the mountains but day 3 and 4 are hardly any walking and if I had to do it again I'd choose the four day version of the trek

3. go here http://willmyphonework.net/
4. check and see if it provides what you need
5. use burner phone

>>1270850
Why do you need Google maps when there are free offline apps that do the same thing?

>>1270853
ok thanks I'll try this
>>1270856
I thought of this too, but have never tried the function myself. I dont really know how reliable it is in another country. Does it work almost the same way?

>>1270489
Idk about round the world but it's pretty easy to become a trucker in US. Idk about the EU, but that could be cool too,

>>1270489
Contract IT jobs, indeed and other job sites always have IT jobs with some kind of required travel. Maybe not around the world but def in the US, I was at the point doing about 75% travel during my current job.

One of my old co workers said her husband travels a lot working for iron Man, the sporting goods company. Apparently he travels the US and sets up shops at different athletic events. She said they're always looking for new people. I imagine the requirements aren't too stringent but obviously you'll have to deal with customers.

How much shit are you taking and fucking why? There seriously tons of way to save space by just looking up where you are going before hand for washing machines. I'm going on a month vacation and only packing 5 pairs of jeans,shirts, socks, boxers, and 1 pair of swimtrunks. Just look up places to do coin laundry, use vaccum bags, and such. By the time buy all these "space savers" you would have most likely already paid for an extra bag check

>>1270285
Literally as much as I can, I need to bring my work related stuff and if I'm successful at finding a job and get a permanent visa (I already checked the local laws and bureaucracy, it's not impossible), I want to move out from my shitty country completely.

>>1270285
Not OP but Im terrified of losing my luggage internationally. Happened to me stateside.

You should get your money's worth driving driving from cairns to melb, you will see alot of what the east coast of Australia has to offer(nature, beaches, wildlife, climates and maybe you might notice the cultures between states)

How long are you going to stay at destinations along the way?
There isnt much to do between sydney and melbourne

I spent 7 months in Australia recently and am going back soon. It is a worthwhile place to visit.

I've seen some flights from the west coast of US going for around $700 return to Sydney or Melbourne. Would be much more inconvenient from the east coast.

3 weeks is a very short time for doing the whole of east coast in Australia. It is a very big country, just like America, you have to figure in the huge distances. Cairns to Melbourne is like going from Chicago to LA. Look at either going Cairns-Brisbane and maybe a short flight hop over to Sydney for a few days or if you like cities and mountains go from Sydney to Melbourne.

I have not been to the east coast yet, will be there early next year. I did spend a lot of time in Victoria though and can highly recommend it especially in the summer.

>>1269857
As a Flyover-American, I suspect Australia is probably one of the most expensive places you can travel to and stay.

I don't think it's worth that much just to see Bizarro Murrica in the Southern hemisphere.

On which faculty?

>>1270016
Faculty of Humanities

Are you looking to study or treat it as a vacation?

Source of the picture is Humans of Georgia fanpage.
Do not think I stalk some innocent girls.

>>1269824
Georgia the country or the state?

Bump. Am also tempted to go here, seems pretty nice. Tblisi is meant to have some good nightlife too.

Do your self a favor and check out Sighișoara
when you are in Transylvania. A wonderful little town. Would also check out Timișoara if you have the time.I have been in Romania many times, and the Transylvania aerea is very nice. You will meet a lot of nice people there. But beware gypsies and other people who will try to take advantage of you.

Bucharest is also a nice big city to visit. Check out the Ceaușescu Palace when your there.

Not many Romanian speak English. But some students do.

>>1269780
>Do you have any advices on what I should see in Romania?
my dick

>On internet I found only some advices about Bucharest, Brasov and Transylvania (Dracula's castle, etc). I'm interested mainly in meet people, nature and cities.
don't visit the castle, it's shit, take your fag bike and visit the rural areas from Sibiu to Cluj

>Do romanians speak english?
yes
>- Are there a lot of hills on the middle of the country?
yes and shitty roads

>beware gypsies
this
but they are only south of the mountains since their wagons can't climb them
just avoid speaking english and looking like a tourist

>>1269795
Thanks!
I'll take a look to these advices.
If you have other idea please share them with us :)
ps. what about the hills? are they very hard to climb with a bicycle?

/pol/ incoming 3, 2, 1...

>What are your interests?
>Go to the city that matches them.

>>1269767
my interests are just good food, grand cathedrals, beautiful old towns.

Literally every city here has all of those things

you can always go to the embassy yourself...

>>1269726
>finally
How so? Was it delayed?

Send your mom.

>>1269739
Could be difficult if OP is far away from it. Maybe there are consulates somewhere close though, if the embassy is out of reach.

Or any another country desu

i just wanna get out of this shity hole

Take a boat from Libya

I had a friend take a comparable trip to the Pacific Northwest. She said that Portland was very, very disappointing and that Seattle was a much better city overall. She loved Vancouver. So, Vancouver I guess.
