I wouldn't say Central Asia is that popular, it's enigmatic and people are curious about it. It's obviously opening up a bit more though...

Africa

For me as a european, i see iran and colombia as new destinations, where until now europeans did not dare to go

Doubt it, far too expensive.

Seems like a pretty bad idea m8. I'd recommend some city stuff in Madison and Milwaukee but half your group can't even legally drink.

What are you into? Are you looking for museums? Architecture? Touristy stuff?

when a gypsy pickpockets you, just let them do it

they'll run towards a more senior gypsy with a knife in case of trouble

Just do everything you can to not get mugged, because if you do get pickpocketed >>1268040
is most likely right, they will run to someone who can and will hurt you, not kill, but hurt

So be smart and you'll never be in that situation, ex. don't act touristy, don't wear nice shit, put money and shit in socks, wallet by dick, that's what I do every time I go near gypsys

also a little fun tip is to fill your pockets with condoms or something funny, so when they reach into your pockets they will only get shit

>>1267983

as long as they're dirty gypsie scum and as long you don't kill/permanently injure them, you can do whatever you want to the one you see pickpocketing you. Police won't do shit, because everyone here hates those motherfuckers, just explain them what happened. Be careful though because what >>1268040 says it's true.

The best advice I can give you is to be smart: don't keep your wallet in you rear pockets, don't bring important documents with you, be careful when you're in the middle of the crowd, and if a group of gyppos approach you asking for money or trying to sell things, tell them to fuck off and go far from them asap.

The 500 reported pickpocketing a day seems a bit exaggerate to me btw. I hope my post doesn't trigger any moralfag, I absolutely have no problem with any race/ethnicity/nationality in the world, but hate towards gyppos is one of the few things that really unites every european.

this guy spent several months there in colombia earlier this year. lots of vids with some info. girl in this vid certainly worth cking out

there is this hill in cali where only poor people live but they appearently have the best view over the city.
Leave your expensive clothes and items at home and go there, take a look at the city

>>1267914
he hated Cali though
also no idea why people like cali it's one of the most violent cities in the world yet they shit on Rio/Brazil all the time wtf?

general advice for most of Latin america honestly if you are headed to any poor areas try to look poor and carry nothing important

Everything. That's why it's Americas best highway

its ok. atm isnt most of it shut down cuz it got buried in landslides and shit?

either way:
-Mt Ranier nat park: Gorgeous, need a pass
-Mt St Helens
-Olympia nat park: out of the way, by about 3 hours so your choice, Olympia itself was alright
-Portland: I guess, its there
-Wildlife Safari: drive through zoo enclosure in Winston Oregon. best $20 I ever spent.
-Crater Lake: out of the way but cool
-Redwood national park, no pass needed, you can just fucking park alongside the road and hike.
-Muir Woods: its ok, dont go unless you have a park pass already, its not worth single visit admission

It's not that big of a city so sure, city center should work, and just bike around.

6th street is the crazy tourist drinking bender street. Lots of other less crazy drinking streets around town as well.

Have fun and don't brings drugs into Texas.

>>1267714
I would stay in the city center. Tons of hotels downtown I frequent the la quinta on 10th. Walking distance from 6th street and very cheap for a hotel downtown.
Definitely check out 6th street and float some nearby rivers. However bars close at 2am here.

>>1267714
Do you guys know the legal drinking age in the US is 21, not 18?

Fuck off faggot

this is now an alpaca thread

Works fine if you can get to the destination on a direct flight and it's in Europe.

>>1267433
typical haha

I remember in the middle order citties there were many older chinese who just couldn't fathom the modern features of the city

and they all complained it was too crowded, but shit grandma you had 7 kids what did you expect would happen
often they would say "too many people" in frustration at queues

chinese threw so much money at fountains, statues and anything else that looked like it might be lucky
often places had signs "no money throwing", and often the sign would be half burried in jiao

Pretty damn cheap as far as Im aware.
There are obvious differences for different kinds of food and acommodation but they start pretty low, especially if you want to couchsurf.
Getting from island to island is super cheap if you chose the slower ships (gets you to another island for a couple euros but takes maybe twice as long as a speedboat for twice the money).

Overall great places to see nature-, culture-, people- and foodwise.

>>1267431

All accomodation and transport is already arranged. But if possible I'd like to live relatively cheaply since it's a two week vacation. I assume prices go up during July, tho.

Similar scenario for me. So it turns out my outgoing and return flight will have a 10 hour and 20 hour layover in New Delhi respectively.

I was wondering whether I could get a transit visa, then just quickly leave the airport, catch a shuttle/bus and then explore Poo Capital of the World during this time?

It seemed to me direct flights through SVO did not need transit visa when i was talking to some dutch girls going to Thailand.... however everything i have read says you need it.

Dont fuck around with Russia, get the visa you need and do proper research. A transit visa may only allow you to be in the airport and not actually travel about the city.

Also SVO is a shitttttt airport, good luck. I have 3 year tourist visa and i travel there quite a bit as my entry hub before connecting, and i hate it every time. Have fun!

Not hard at all, if you can ride a boke you can vespa.

Good place to visit with the wife, be sure to eat her ass there.

In that case, go for Krabi - and Ao Nang specifically. There's a ton to do if you get bored of beach/snorkeling/day trips. There are a bunch of nice restaurants/quiet bars around as well, at least one with live music most of the evenings.

Unless you go to the south western end of Phuket near Kata beach, which is quite laid back, roghly 30-40 min to town.

>Krabi or Phuket?
My ass

A gun
