Book into an airbnb or backpacker hostel when you arrive, don't pay for accommodation you haven't visited. People will take advantage of foreigners. Finding a bank is easy, google what they need (usually you will need an address before you can do this, they might want a letter of introduction from your current bank saying you're a customer in good standing).

Thanks for the advice! I was already thinking of booking an airbnb just to put a roof over my head to start, though I wasn't going to visit first, which sounds naive now. I'll look into it.

And yeah, I wasn't too worried about finding a bank, but it's something to check off. Wasn't aware of a letter of introduction.

One thing as far as work goes, I was thinking of trying to find work that offers room and board, to take care of the living issue as well. Does anybody know if that is viable for a full year's worth of living/employment?

Where are you from ?

Any idea where you're heading?

cool story anon

ok

what should i expect, how is it the same how is it different?

you most likely aren't the first group that the guide took care of and he will tell you what to be cautious about. it is part of his job.
how much did you pay for the trip?

based on the intro i thought you do this on foot or alone or something.

idk the worst that can happen is you realize how you could have done this much cheaper alone. so don't check the prices.

If you have a tour guide and a group there is literally nothing to be afraid of outside of things that are beyond your control anyway. Be respectful, responsible, and have a good time.

Go to pubs. It's the one place muslims never go in.

Are the Arabs, Africans, and such really a problem there?

I visited London 2 years ago almost to the day. I went to the London Dungeon, Wimbledon, pub tours, Hyde Park and a lot of museums.

Do a daytrip to the Grand Canyon.

Thanks, what other thing could i do more on the old part of the city?

Good shopping at the hotels. The hotels have really good buffet's too. Wicked spoon was probably the nicest one I went to imo.

If you want something very different, you can try the Machine gun shooting range on S highland Dr.

But really, my personal favorite is getting drunk shooting dice at the Bellagio. Find a good $10 table with a couple folks and just give the drinks lady $1 for every beer. I made $390 in 4 hours and got wasted lol.

Unless you can exude confidence along with common sense and intelligence that a fair amount of drug users seem to lack, then you should be fine.

If not which is probably your case, don't be a fucking fag. Not even trying to be an ass but I think you need to realize that those drug dogs and ion scanners alert to microscopic amounts of cocaine, cannabis etc.. If you're one of those pussies who will shit their pants not knowing whether you carried drugs or not...don't do it.

>I'm worried that the dogs might start sniffing me.

lol, then it probably wouldn't be a good idea to get stoned. i assume you're talking about weed? do more drugs in your offtime.

At the security at schiphol airport the guy after the scan asked me suddenly 'how am i doing?' (in the sense of how i thought he was doing).
I wonder why. But maybe you can except such things nowadays,

>>1268771
No. I mean there is, but not enough to ever justify going there.

>>1268728
>from Leipzig of all places
what do you mean by that if i may ask?
I will start a bachelor's in Heidelberg in October and I asked a couple of friends who study there and they all love the city. It's not huge but definitely beautiful. You should be able to find the right kind of friends with similar interests in any uni city, if you take the initiative.
Might be different for Masters but usually at least some people who chose to study the same thing as you should be likeable for you.
What will you study?
It's governed by the Green party so there will be lefties around but with almost 40k students in town there should be diversity of opinions.
When it comes to stuff to do, what exactly do you have in mind?

Sorry about the incoherent text but I'm too lazy to edit it now.

I studied abroad after my freshman year the following summer.
>Just a month
>Wish I could've done a semester instead of a month
>Decided to drop out bc it got too expensive. Now working and trying to obtain as much money as I can to go to Russia next summer for the World Cup and meet friends there.

She wants the D

>>1268689
How can you tell? And what should I do? I've never had a hookup like this.

Watch "Before Sunrise" with her! Try not to think about fucking her, just be curious and sceptical but make advances when appropriate

>>1268673
Have you already paid for your places to stay or do you think you'll be using 2500 to get rooms, food and transport?

>>1268673
I'm not 100% travelling all the way from Osaka just to spend 2 days in Nagasaki is worth it. I've known people to usually do it as a day trip from Fukuoka. It might be a good idea to spend atleast a day in Hiroshima and/or Fukuoka on the way there.

Protip for Kyoto - don't bother with the buses, train/subway is possible for some sightseeing but outside of that just rent a bike instead. Buses are often full if going towards tourist sites. You'll often see a full bus to a tourist site turn up followed by a slightly less full one that's going nowhere near the tourist site. I've lost count how times I've seen tourists unable to get on the first bus jump on the second without checking it's going where they want...

As far as food goes, most restaurants have no problem with singles. Places like CoCo Ichibanya (curry), Marugame Seimen (udon), Sukiya and Yoshinoya (donburi), Ichiran and Ippudo (ramen) are good chains that serve cosistantly decent food and can be found almost everywhere.

A question for all the nomads:
what personality do you have?
how do you deal with lack of physical contact with long time friends, etc?
what doo you need to travel constantly for any amount of time? what equipment, skills, how much money? Do you actually need interenet?

please, state in what contries/climate do you stay

>>1268513
>what personality do you have?
ISTP. I'm very, very self sufficient. But most people assume that I'm an extrovert because I can act like that when I want to.

>how do you deal with lack of physical contact with long time friends, etc?

Personally I never really cared or missed people. That's probably a reflection on my relationships at home. But I actually talk more to girls that I met traveling more than people at home now.

>what doo you need to travel constantly for any amount of time? what equipment, skills, how much money? Do you actually need interenet?

I'm not a good one to ask for this, my budget is far higher than normal because I saved a fuckload of money before I left and I'm not frugal. But I know lots of people that just make money wherever they are via stuff like workaway. They tend to spend more than they save and consantly bitch about how much stuff costs but they make it work.
