what are some of your sketchiest travel experiences?
Got incredibly hammered in serbia with some friends of friends that I didn't really know and ended up passing out in some unknown appartment. I woke up not knowing where I was, or who this guy passed out on the couch was. He eventually wakes up, recognises me, calls my friend and he comes to pick me up. So all ended well there.
Also, in albania the bus driver wanted to hold onto my passport when I got on the bus so he didn't have to get it from me later to give to the border guards. I was reluctant but gave it to him anyways. He just left it on the dashboard right beside where people were constantly getting on and off. Shit could have gotten stolen.
I found out I shared the same hostel room as a convicted rapist/axe attacker while I was living at that hostel in dublin.
All and all I don't have many sketchy stories because I'm a pretty cautious traveller.

Nothing major.

I could share stories of things that happened in Paris but I don't want to be labeled as a lying racist samefagging /pol/tard.

Northern canadian here. I get harassed by drunk natives all the time. It's part of the whole northern experience.
I went to Aghdam in Nagorno Karabakh and ran into some Armenian soldiers.
They made me delete my pictures.
Here's an abandoned mosque in Shushi though.
>>1150842
Okay so i was in new Zealand and like always drunk as fuck on 10% Cody's. I was hanging out with homeless Maoris because I'm hardcore like that and we went to some park and drank like 24 Cody's (it's 10% abv whisky and coke cans). Anyways I think I smoked some meth and passed out cold and when I woke up I was wearing one of their shirts and it stunk really bad.
Anyways the one guy who hadn't bathed in weeks invited me back to his squat which was under some stairs and he had some meth addicted hooker with him. She was screaming "city mission represent!!!" And eventually took off her panties and told us to fuck her. She had a gnarly fat meat flappy pooter.
I wouldn't finger this sketchy crackwhore without a condom and she got pissed off and so I just watched her fuck this dirty ass crackhead rawdogged, I think I was eating chips. He banged her for a while, then some other homeless guy came over and we smoked more meth, then he ate her ass while we watched and ate chips, and she laughed hysterically I guess she never had her ass eaten before.
It was pretty fucking grody if I'm perfectly honest but it'll make a good story to tell the kids at Christmas
>>1151000
I also ran into soldiers. But the memory card was already inside my sock :)
>>1151000
wtf why would they even give a shit about your pictures
>>1151019
Because you could publish evidence of their war crimes.
I went trainspotting with a buddy of mine through Europe, we didn't plan anything in advance and all we had with us was some clothes and a sleeping bag each.
We started of in Sweden (homeland) and made our way down to Prague, got shitfaced at a pub and came up with the brilliant idea to find somewhere to sleep before we became sober. We climbed that huge hill with the walls on top and fell asleep in a bush, we woke up in the middle of the night because a police officer had pulled over to take a piss, he pissed for a good minute like 2 meters from my face. It was pretty fucking spooky.
Some dodgy nights later we arrived in Zagreb, we found a abandoned building not too long from the main station and while exploring we found a bunch of makeshift beds in one of the rooms, shortly after someone ran full speed into the building, I think we were on the third floor. We started walking down the stairs, my friend grabbed a brick and we mentally prepared to fight a drug-fueled hobo, we turned the last corner quickly and there was this old fat little guy standing with his dick out taking a leak, the look on his face when he saw 2 smiling dirty swedes, one holding a brick in his hand and the other saying HALLÅ DÄR in a relieved voice was fucking priceless, he zipped his pants and bolted out through the building.
Later that night we climbed a hill looking for a place to sleep and a dog jumped a fence and started chasing us for a good while, we managed to find a old camp spot and made up a fire then fell a sleep.
We got to Amsterdam but I don't remember much, I smoked too much and can just remember fragments of me walking around the red district paranoid as fuck watching hookers wave at me, I lost my friend but managed to find my way to a train station where I fell asleep on a bench.
The best part was one night in Germany, Bergen, we spent the day down in the town then at night we climbed a mountain and fell a sleep watching the stars, that shit was so damn beautiful.
>>1151091
What is trainspotting and how old were you when you did that? Good story
>>1151110
I think we were 19 at the time.
I don't know if trainspotting is the right word for it, we had a universal ticket that allowed us to hop onto almost any train within Europe, so to save money we'd mainly stay around close to train stations and hop on long late night trains when there was nowhere to sleep, or we'd jump off one or two stations before every mayor city and sleep in the bush, then take the train into town the next day.
I found trains to be very comfortable to sleep in, much better than hostels where there's always that fat guy snoring in a corner. The trip was not comfortable though, we were freezing our asses off, walking around without proper sleep for several days and had to deal with a lot of shady people, but in retrospect it was one of the most coolest experiences I've ever had.
>>1150974
Tell us about Paris, anon
I'm no hardcore traveller, Morocco and Brazil are the most exotic places I've been to. Being from Amsterdam I wasn't used to seeing public displays of poverty and failing infrastructure. Then I went to London and it felt even less civilized. I'm not even kidding, that place is fucking awful.
Oh, I never really run into trouble because...well...
I AM trouble.
:^)
>>1151003
Now that's what I call sketchy!
>>1150851
oh wow
i (20m) caught a fat dude just wearing boxers filming me from an apartment across the alleyway while I was packing up. Had a flight out of that timezone in the morning.
Walked around Philipsburg, St Maarten alone. Strayed away from the touristy area and into the predominately black slums. Had several people try to sell me weed, and just as many trying to sell me shoes. Some lady followed me down the streets cussing at me for a little while.
Makes for a great story.
In Thailand on Koh Chang, riding my moped back home very late at night/early in morning, see big ass black expensive pickup truck parked ahead, slow down as i see mean looking son of a bitch copper in uniform and black aviators on getting out with a big duffel bag, shady man comes out of building door, both of them look right through me, i know im seeing something i shouldn't like its some kind of drop, they both walk in, i turn around and do one. Problem is i live a few doors down and so eventually i turn back again to go home thinking enough time has passed, and there is the fucking copper coming out without bag. He sees me again, i nod and turn around again. Waited a lot longer before heading back. I've done some shit in my time and i knew what i was seeing going on was some heavy shit i didn't need to be seeing. Cop understood i knew that when i didn't bat an eyelid. was saying "shit, shit shit shit" all the way when i had to turn around the first time.
>>1151003
Why did you continue to hang out with the homeless methheads?
Almost got dragged into a 2v1 fist fight in england with some drunken assholes outside a kebab shop
the girl I was seeing at the time was drunk out of her mind and very upset about something, so she mouthed off to them while we walked in and of course that got their attention, they kept trying to bait me into going outside with them while my ex kept drunkenly yammering about how they were assholes
I was stone cold sober and probably could have taken the both of them but it would have been messy and I didn't want to risk getting badly hurt or deported for fighting or some shit
ironically enough, my ex dumped me the next day and I left the country anyway
>>1151230
How come she dumped you?
>>1151231
I think it was just a case of really bad timing
We were great together when we were in the US, but when she came home to england she got shoveled with a load of shit from her bank and school, got a hormonal birth control implant put in, and was probably going through post-travel depression by the time I came over. When my presence wasn't magically making everything feel like it did when she was in the states, maybe she confused that for having fallen out of love with me or something and just couldn't handle it anymore. Maybe if I had come over at a later time, or went with her when she left for home instead of waiting a couple weeks, or something, it wouldn't have gone down like it did.
It fucking sucked. I'll be back over in england pretty soon for unrelated reasons and maybe things will get patched up between us, but I doubt it. I'm still feeling the ripples of the breakup desu

Was the worst. Slowly building dread, and then the crowd coming out to surround us.
Cuba is a strange place.

this is 100% accurate coming from a black hispanic from the Caribbean who's traveled around eastern europe

>old polish men staring me down and then softly saying some shit in polak when I walked down the street with my white gf in Warsaw
A large percentage of people either tried to give me a menacing stare down; not to mention the sarcastic attitude of the service people there.
These squattin slavs trying to look down on me when my salary is minimum 10 times a majority of theirs left me annoyed.
Prague was pretty nice though.

I got out of Ukraine as quickly as I could. Kiev and Odessa were alright, but it certainly has it's dangerous underworld.

Any stories? I'm kind of fascinated now by what they're like.
My vision of the Carribean is ludicrously romanticised.

I've almost got in a fight in a few countries actually. Never actually came to blows, but almost every time. Weird.
Probably my "sketchiest" almost fight

>Chinese friend proceeds to get on his phone and starts yelling at whoever he's on with
>I ask him what that was about
>"Oh those were my friends, we're coming back after I drop you off and we're going to beat the shit out of those guys"
Weird trip. I have others if there is some interest.
>>1151568
I own a consulting company for businesses that start up in new locations
>>1151572
>Oh those were my friends, we're coming back after I drop you off and we're going to beat the shit out of those guys
I'm charmed by how casually put that is. Even if not in those exact words, just saying "Oh yeah we're gonna beat some people up."
>I have others if there is some interest.
Definitely, go ahead.
>>1151558
Biggest beneficiaries of affirmative action are white females.
>be at hostel in Tokyo
>me and two other guys wanna check out this Rastafari themed bar in Asakusa
>get there, order some drinks
>sit outside for some reason with this really weird ensemble of Japanese people and a black guy from New York (the owner of the bar). Seriously none of them looked like they belonged together, one was preppy, one was a gangsta, another this weird dorky schoolgirl type with braces
>they talk about all kinds of weird shit in broken Engrish (not even broken English mind you)
>particularly this one loud hyperactive girl who must've been jacked up on every pill in her medicine cabinet
>We try talking to the owner, asking him questions and stuff. Every time he retorts with "why are you asking me questions!?" or whatever in an angry tone
>he tries to steer the conversation like he's some sort of game leader or whatever, but doesn't want any part of it himself. Forces the loud girl to talk to us, and forces her to speak only English
Then we went home, kinda disappointed we didn't score any bud like we thought. Doesn't sound so dramatic but it felt so weird the entire time. Like we were actually hanging out with Satan and his strange Japanese minions or something. You know some insincere shit is going down at that place
>>1151572
Arab here, sounds like a common thing in the middle east here (call your lads to beat the shit out of them, where 1v1 becomes entire town against town fight)
Flat tyre in the middle some village in tribes area in Pakistan. Village looked empty, but after 5 mins we were surrounded by locals. Some carried guns.
I think now we can work at F1 pit stops.
The truyh will be hidden in their face,
so close they will not be able to focus on it until it' too late.

It was pretty much verbatim. My Chinese friend is a weird guy, he was down to fight people all the time but like wouldn't drink with me in China because he was "ashamed that his father would see him drunk."
Here's one from Norway back in January

>finally he says to one person "give me a cigarette"
>all the norwegians just basically try to ignore him, or frankly sheepishly reply "i don't have one", something to that effect
>the guy is really aggressive for the record, getting in people's faces if they ignore him
>finally this guy makes eye contact with me, starts walking towards me
>before he says anything, i sternly tell him "dude i don't want to talk to you, leave me alone"
>"give me a fucking cigarette"
>i keep repeating sternly "leave me alone, i'm not bothering you, i'm not giving you a cigarette"
>starts getting really weird, asks me if i'm divorced, asks my mom is still alive
>"dude, why are you still talking to me? leave me the fuck alone"
>he starts taking a few steps too close to me
>i slam my beer on the table and stand up
>"boy if you get any closer i'm going to fucking hit you, back off"
>the guy jumps back, says "no problem" a bunch of times, and runs into the bar
Firstly, I felt really bad about calling a black guy "boy" like that after, but I was angry and I guess it slipped. The guy eventually started harassing waitresses and bartenders inside the bar, so they kicked him out, and me and some Norwegian guy had to stand outside the bar until he finally left. I don't think he was crazy, just really really shitfaced and being an aggressive nuisance.

Lol you're one of those two bit shoeless Joe Ponzi scheme "I beez makin you white folk rich" fast talkers with an office above a pizzeria.
Post proof coon
Not something that happened to me personally, but to a friend I was traveling with at the time.
About 8 years ago, I and a group of friends decided to go backpacking thru Japan. We started in Osaka and wound our way north to Aomori. In Tokyo, we stayed at a hostel in the Roppongi district. One night, we all went out clubbing, and one of my friends ended up hooking up with a local girl. The rest of us started heading back to our hostel around 11 pm in order to catch the last train. My friend (we'll call him "C") stayed at the club and ended up missing the train.
By the time C started making his way back, there were no trains running, and he started walking back. On a pedestrian overpass, he ended up asking a young man in a black business suit for directions. The man understood C, but apparently didn't speak much English himself. The man seemed to waiting for something or someone, and after trying and failing constantly to explain himself to C, irritatedly motioned to C to follow him.
C followed the black-suited man to a parking lot, where the man motioned for C to get in a black Mercedes sedan. C was nervous, but the man was polite, so C got in. The man drove C back to our hostel, and got out of the car and opened the door for C. That's when C caught sight of tattoos at the man's wrist under his suit--and that's when things clicked: he had just accepted a ride from a yakuza. C thanked the man very politely, then walked into the hostel and ran the rest of the way up to our room to tell us what he just did.

Isn't "boy" only a racist term in the US because that's what black males who were slaves were called? It is racist outside of the US too?

you guys are painfully dull. Especially the weebs, theyre so wildly shocked by meeting someone slightly outside the norm.
Havent you guys just ever wanted to do something fucking wild and not give about the consequences, just throw caution to the wind and have some bad ass stories where your life is in actual danger?
Live a little guys. This is pathetic.
>>1151898
I have multiple hobbies that are actually pretty fucking dangerous and my trade requires me to fuck around with machines that can burn me to a crisp in moments or amputate me in a matter of a fraction of a second.
I travel to be comfy and to relax. Sorry your daily life is boring to the point of making you want to do stupid shit when you travel.
>>1151898
OP asked for sketchy, not stupidly Darwin-award-winning dangerous. If you wanna live vicariously through the suicidally desperate for attention, go watch Jackass or something
Have a story from over a decade ago. A little foggy.
I went to a really niche Caribbean Island as part of a college sponsored mission trip (i.e. it was a Christian college, and the trip was led by a pastor). We take a flight, take a cruise, and we are at the island.
Now, the pastor wanted to have the theme of the trip be that story about the fish who swallowed that guy, and he lived for a while in the fish, so we were going to spend three days on the water (on a boat). The pastor had been a sailor in the Navy or something. Man was old. There was seven of us.
Well, this is a niche Caribbean island, and by that I mean it was shit. The boat we have rented is out at sea (or at least it was not docked), so we need to take a little dingy out to, and this dingy was a piece of shit. Looked like it was going to capsize. The natives who are ferrying us to the boat offshore looked like pirates, as well, so the pastor was on the dingy each time it went back and forth.
When I went out on the dingy, the pirate native starts rocking back in forth in this little dingy, and this thing is such a piece of shit that it feels like it will capsize from the smallest of rockings. Pastor is telling them man in... whatever, I can't remember to stop, but this guy must have been drunk or drugged because he is just laughing hysterically, rocking the boat back and forth (little tiny thing), so much that all of us think we are going to capsize without life-jackets some distance away from shore, and to make matters worse, one of the girls on-board starts to have a panic attack because she can't swim.
So the pastor turns to this real athletic type who was on the boat with us, I think he played football, that if this guy didn't stop (the native ferrying us) to just pick him up and throw him off the boat, and he translates this to the native who immediately becomes somber, and we reach the boat without harm.
All of us are on the boat, and the natives who look like pirates sabotage it. (cont.)
>>1151934
The natives sabotage the boat. They remove the engine, and it is revealed that there is a hole (some kind of leak) in the basement of the boat (in the sort of lounge).
The natives take off, and we are stuck on this boat off shore (shore was vaguely in the distance if your sight was good) on a boat without an engine and is slowly sinking.
And it is getting dark. People are having panic attacks, but something about the leak meant that it wasn't so bad, I can't recall, so, as far as the pastor was concerned, we wouldn't drown.
Well, we are stuck out at sea with no way of communicating with the island, and off in the distance the weather starts to turn sour. Storm rolls in, so we all assume we are going to die. Spend pretty much the entire night miserable out at sea with rain lashing against our faces singing hymns with the pastor, holding hands and hugging.
Morning comes, coast guard finds the ship, and we are rescued. Some sort of explanation: the people who rented out the boat sue those who use it for its destruction (sinking) and the law is so fucked that these pirate looking natives always win.
Now, this was the first day. The trip was supposed to last for however long that guy was in the fish (I forget), and all of our provisions and shit are gone (were supposed to be on the boat), housing arrangements (sleeping on the boat). Everything is fucked, and this island is niche. It is not for tourists. It does not have infrastructure.
Not sure if anyone is reading this. Should I keep going?

I'm enjoying this Caribbean Insurance Fraud story.

My problem is that I think too far ahead. Reading about people getting their lives ruined over trivial shit leading to an ED article about them has left me intensely paranoid that the slightest weird thing done by me could spiral into something nightmarish, even if I know that's completely irrational.
I wish I was one of those charming people who can get away with violating social norms and seen as weird in a good way, instead of just as a weirdo to avoid.
Oh well.

That anon wanted to write 'trainhopping'. Trainspotting is standing along a track and taking pictures of moving trains, in my mind one of the weirdest hobbies around, but hey.
He meant Interrailing though, definitely not trainhopping. Trainhopping is, quite literally, hopping on and off trains without paying (on the outside of the train, finding empty freight coaches or hanging on for dear life).

Story time negro
My dad worked in offshore oil exploration back in the late 80's. He was managing some locals on the deck of a smaller ship that was based out of Port Hardcourt in Nigeria. It was +35 degrees with some fucked up humidity every single day so he'd be wearing shorts and a wifebeater. The locals had a different idea. They were worried that their skin would turn even darker if they were exposed to sunlight, so on those insanely hot days those locals would suit up in full wet weather gear and tried to cover as much skin as possible. Apparently it was a miracle none of them died.
Back in Port Hardcourt, the expats were housed on another ship because a) there were no reliable hotels in the city and b) if there was unrest they could sail out to sea or back to Lagos until things cooled down. There was one problem with the boat, it didn't have alcohol on board. Not too far from the docks there was a 'bar' that the locals and only the bravest Eastern Europeans would drink at. Desperate for a beer a handful of cashed up expats wandered over to the bar. Things were going well and after a few obviously watered down beers later, the bar seemed less menacing. And so they kept drinking late into the night until some soldiers showed up. The locals knew it was time to leave and apparently so did the Russians. Dad doesn't remember much after this point but he told me that they were robbed and beaten up at gunpoint but somehow managed to make it back to the boat, albeit with empty pockets.
I have some more of his stories from the times he worked on the boats if anyone is interested. They used to fascinate me as a kid.

Lesson of the story is choose your travel buddies well, the entire thing was avoidable and completely fucking obvious. In hindsight I should have just waited outside the entire time.
He ended up being tied to a chair and getting blown by a girl while two old jap dudes held guns to his head and made him sign a note saying he was paying this girl for a blowy. I don't really talk much to him anymore and don't think I'll ever travel with him again.

My grandfather was a Christian pastor, and he went to the Gaza Strip to meet the family of one of his congregation who he had recently baptized and married. A whole neighborhood, hundred or so people, celebrated with him.
He got to the address, got out, saw someone run towards him, saw people behind them running towards him, saw people behind those people running towards him, and got back into the taxi, terrified. But the roads were blocked with all of these people, so he was stuck, but they were all friendly anyways.

Met a guy in Marrakech, he offered me girls and drugs for three days straight (I always had dinner at Jamaa el Fna and he found me there all three days).
At the end I decided to accept his offer for girls. He starts to guide me thru several small alleyways. When I start to think this was a bad idea we reach our destination: a big ass avenue that connects directly to Jamaa el Fna. We could have literally gone straight through it to the "massage parlor".

How easy is it to enter the UK as an American?
It's a one way ticket since I plan to travel all around Europe so I'd like to know if a one way ticket is a red flag even though I'm a US citizen
>>1153632
It's not. I got held up at border customs once while taking a train from France. They wanted to see a return ticket, which I sort of had,as I was going to Italy next. They wanted to talk with the people I was staying with, and they called them to corroborate my story.
If you're entering with just a one way ticket, it's gonna look suspicious yeah so there's a good chance you'll be turned back.

Worst case you'll get maybe get 10 minutes of grilling, basically no matter what you say they'll fuck with you and try to catch you in a lie, it's sort of just to prove they're doing their job and scare you a little bit, relax theyre not going to refuse any first worlders.

It's not so bad. If you don't have a return ticket just make sure you have a few thousand in your bank account and a statement to prove it, as well as a contact address. They might hassle you a bit but if you can prove you're employed back home and have a bunch of money they should let you through as long as you don't spaghetti everywhere. I got harrassed for about 20 minutes because I came in without a return ticket, but I showed them I had about 7 grand in the bank and a job at home so they let me in and just warned me that if I was gonna be popping in and out of the country during my stay, it'd be advisable to get a return ticket just so I didn't get held up at the border every time.

I went to Estonia and got too drunk and ended up blacking out and waking up in a drunk tank (prison cell) next morning. I had no fucking clue where I was, and I could hear someone in the next cell banging on the door and screaming which was scary. I was imagining all sorts of weird shit, and was very relieved when it turned out I was just at a police station. Lost my wallet though.
I was taking anti-depressants which fucked with alcohol tolerance in a way I didn't realise. Makes the distance between black out retard drunk and a bit merry a LOT shorter.

I think it's more to do with your own choices, I'm a pretty smart solo traveller.
I went Cape Town in January, was gonna go up to Windhoek and onto etosha national park and then into Botswana but I pussied out and just stayed in Cape Town instead, spent 4 days at a gun range and done a week chilling on the beach in simonstown, chill as fuck, had some boss spicy fried shrimp and lettuce in dressing for lunch like every day at this little bar by the beach, the taxi driver that took me to where I was staying dropped me like 2 miles from where the house was that I was staying at for the first few nights, I went into the police station to ask directions and they ended up giving me a lift as I was tired, sweating hard and an obvious tourist, guess they figured their conscious would bite hard if I got mugged, which apparently was very likely.
Anyway I went into Cape Town central, and obviously it's sketchy as fuck, people ain't stopping at the lights after dark, packs of natives roaming around, it's pretty edgy, despite this I saw an Asian twink looking fella with an open rucksack on his back, a fucking iPad in his hand and headphones plugged into it on his head, the fucking dudes just walking around downtown Cape Town like a fucking Toshiba advert.
I went for a walk twice a day along the big sea wall that runs all along the beach, which is ugly as fuck by the way, packs of spooks everywhere, never even got looked at funny, I even got into an argument with like 5 dudes at a guesthouse because the advert was bullshit, there was a building site literally 5 metres from my window which I couldn't close, loud as fuck plus nigs just hanging out looking into my room, i lost the argument.
The only sketchy shit that happened is when I banged a hooker during Song Kram in Pattaya, i done a runner without paying but the hotel doors were locked so I ended up breaching the back door via the hotel kitchen and wading through piles of rotting food at like 5am.
Got approached by a friendly dude in Havana. He started talking to me and offered to be my guide. Showed me around the old town. He then asked me to meet him the next day where we would travel to his home town and see shit there.
"Yeah sure buddy meet you tomorrow", fuck that!
Don't ever wander off with some strange locals to less busy areas. A common scam in third world shitholes is to "friendly locals" inviting gringos to isolated areas and then fucking them over.

Cameroon isnt that difficult. What i found annoying was the millitary stops (because of bokoharam in the far north) so u must ALWAYS always always have your passport on you
if you have skin that isnt dark and you arent asian (they are actually common there) you are automatically white and get treated as white/god.
But overall its not a difficult country for westerners, its just different

Really, really stupid of me--if I'd ignored the officers or acted like I couldn't understand Russian I feel pretty confident I would have avoided the whole incident.

Not really, just apply to less desired embassies and you'll be fine. For instance, shitloads of people want to intern in Paris. Only two applied to Vatican City and like none applied to Kathmandu. Plus if you go third world you can stay in diplomatic housing.
Make sure you have some language skills, they also like post-grad people more because they're usually more mature. Good luck!
Can't believe it took me that long to remember that.

>>1152700
Algeria is difficult to visit as a tourist. If you're in the oil/gas biz, it's possible...
South Sudan is not especially dangerous to white outsiders. It's corrupt and there is a simmering civil war going on, which is reason enough not to visit, but white/western folks are not a target. Petty theft, 'white price' or bribes notwithstanding, as they are standard for the region...
Cameroon is not bad. It's a relatively stable and sane corner of Africa. My university actually has a lot of Cameroonian exchange/foreign students for some reason (it's kind of random, I really wonder why...), and granted these are the children of the richer educated elite, but almost all of them have been bros. Tend to be more on the quiet side, hard-working, studious, always extremely polite. I've banged a couple Cameroonian girls too... good times.
Senegambia should be the same colour. Senegal is actually probably safer than Gambia. Gambia has a crackpot dictator who has made life complicated for expats there.
Sierra Leone and Liberia are really no worse than their neighbours either, really.
Malawi, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Madagascar are also not especially dangerous... Corruption, poverty, lack of robust infrastructure, the usual hassles. I have a coworker from Malawi who says apart from the glaring poverty, it's an otherwise peaceful country. He recommended the weed... I also know a couple who went there and said they had no problems apart from all the attention from being white.

Russians can spot western foreigners at a glance. We don't dress the same, don't have the same body language, and very often have different facial features, etc.
I am a plain white American mutt, but was randomly approached several times who would straight up ask me in heavily accented English "How do yoo lyike Russiya? Where do yoo vyisit? Where are yoo fryom?" shit like that. I always wondered how they knew, so I finally asked one young guy, and he was like "You just don't look Russian. Clothes, shoes, your hair, and plus you are looking up and around at everything and look happy. Russians keep eyes on the ground, frowning." True story.
I would've just waved at your ghost. Surely he knew you saw him.

Second, you shit stains always think everyone is offended by what you say, or in your imagination THE TRUTH, which pussy-ass PC lieberals just can't handle.

>>1156301
No, I think if the cops would have had a harder time robbing me if I hadn't spoken Russian--all conversation above was in Russian. I think it would have been too hard for them to order me around in English and they might not have bothered.
If I'd had my passport, they would have accused me of not having something else (arrival card, copy of hotel registration, whatever bull), and then robbed me. Happened to me a few weeks earlier in Moldova, too, but that wasn't scary because it was in broad daylight in the middle of the city and they let me go after paying them like $6. In that case, I wasn't carrying a mythical registration card.
It's a thing. Police all over the post-Soviet world rob tourists. It's more often a little less sinister than my Odessa experience--typically they'll just accuse you of something and demand a bribe, rather than flat-out mugging you.
If a cop in the ex-USSR approaches you, cross the street. Get away. Don't talk to them.
>>1156224

AIDS isn't automatic even with an infected person. You probably got the 'I'm horny and wanna fuck this exotic white dick' treatment, rather than usual 'I wanna fuck a stranger because I hate/am bored with my boyfriend/husband' treatment. In other words, a black dude passing by would not have had the same treatment.
I've boned a few African girls myself, and it's funny because all of them said something along the lines of 'I always wanted to try a white man...' (And for two of them, I am sure I was their first white dude)
Although, a lot of traditional African tribes accept/condone open/casual sex among the group. Some don't, some do, it varies from group to group.

When I visited Russia to visit some travel friends I met once upon a time, this is what they told me too. I was told I look just un-Russian enough (clothes, face, hair) to warrant attention, and that I should always avoid eye contact and cross the street or walk in the other direction if I saw police.
>mfw sweating bullets one time on crowded Moscow metro, standing directly opposite two militsya with their dog
I was never hassled by cops though.
One time on a crowded bus in the Moscow suburb where I was staying with a friend, I got kinda busted by the transit checkers. I was borrowing the student pass of my friend (a girl), which is supposed to be carried with student ID at all times. Well, I didn't have any, and don't really understand Russian either... On a bus in a suburb where tourists never go, mind you. So this fat transit lady clearly asked me for the ID, and I pretended to look for it and shrugged, then after more admonishing in Russian and impatient sighs, I finally said "Uh look, I'm Canadian (showed my passport), I don't speak any Russian...". She was shocked, eyes bulged and head moved back, and then... she laughed. She shouted in a laughing (astonished?) way to the checker at the other end of the bus, and all I could make out was "blah bloo bluv yazharo kak CANADCHSKY STUDENTCHESTKY blazhi roodiroocho". At the mention of Canadian, the entire bus, and I mean the ENTIRE bus, went quiet and every head looked at me. Nothing more came of it, I luckily wasn't fined, but I was a spectacle for the rest of the ride.
I was in Leipzig on the fourth of July last year and my German friends didn't really understand too much about the holiday but they somehow got their hands on some fireworks, they understand that much. We get drunk and start wandering around the outer city/suburbs looking for somewhere to launch the fireworks and find a local park with some statues, I think they're aged around mid/late 1800s. Anyway, it's 12 at night, we're hammered, and someone suggests that we should put the fireworks in the American's ass. I forgot I was the American so I agreed, but I already agreed so we went for it. They put it in my ass, lit the fuse, and it barely missed the statues and the castle-ish estate behind it. Heard some people approaching in a car in the distance so we all got on our bikes which was harder for me in my condition. Took a long shower that night.

As a stupid kid, around such firework holidays friends and I would get roman candles and would shoot them at each other from opposite ends of a large field at a nearby elementary school. Not aiming to hit each other, but just some silly Harry Potter hijinks. One time I managed to send a rocket (from across the field) straight into a large plastic garbage bin, next to the actual building, that was full of garbage. It was set up on two sort of hoops off the ground, so its bottom was actually about a foot off the ground. Saw the flare/rocket go in, fist pumped, and went on our silly way firing roman candles. A few minutes later, I was nearby and checked my handiwork, when the entire bottom of the now melted bin (started a fire, I guess) suddenly flops down, and a pile of flaming smoking mess with stringy plastic on the sides follows. Then it really started to give off thick black smoke. We didn't have anything to put it out, so we had an 'oh shit' moment and just bolted as fast as we could. Fun times.

Didn't mean to imply it's Club Med, it's clearly a shithole in the midst of a civil war. I have a few different journalist friends who've been and traveled around a bit. Anecdotal and perhaps skewed views since they had a Toyota of bodyguards and interpreters following them , but they said the danger felt comparable to the 'typicals' in the rest of Africa. Being asked for money, bribes, threat of banditry from desperate and armed poorfags. These things will happen to anyone going there though...

I had the hots for her friend who lived with her parents in some suburb even farther out, so I couldn't stay there obviously. We had made out and felt each other up (handjob/finger bang) on an earlier trip, and she had invited me to Russia (I was already 'in the area' doing some long-term backpacking). When I got there though, she was still friendly, but decidedly not physical, which was a bit of a bummer. Basically was smiley and polite but wouldn't agree to go anywhere alone with me. The girl I was staying with saw this too, and I guess felt bad because eventually she flirted with me back and forth, and one night let me play with her tits, which led to trading oral sex, plus again the next morning. The day after *that* I had to fly home out of Russia though. She was 20, a virgin and made a big deal about being converted into the Orthodox church a few years prior, so not too bad considering the lack of P-in-V.

Why come all the way to Europe? Saudi Arabia is stirring shit up in the name of Sunni chauvinism, let them take them in. Turkey and Syrian neighbour countries are stuffed, I agree, but Turkey has its hands red here too. Ditto for Russia, it should be taking refugees as a responsibility for its part in the war, also. Europe should do its fair share, fine, but it is doing overtime as it is. Germany admiring itself in the mirror over its "Hey Look We're Not Nazis Anymore!" messiah complex isn't going to solve this disaster, and is clearly causing displeasure in the rest of Europe.

I'm guessing you've never talked to a Muslim in Britain have you? They have sharia law police to enforce their own law, as well as protests where they chant their lack of respect for British law. They do not believe any law other than Sharia to be valid, and govern themselves accordingly. In fact, over half of British Muslims say they believe British law should be replaced with Sharia Law. Sharia law, of course, encourages rape and murder of non believers and says it's okay to have sex with children, like Muhammad their pedophile savior.
If they actually just wanted a better future for their families, they would give up this sick twisted, barbaric religion and act and dress like the Europeans. It's not racism, because it's not about race. It's about CHOOSING to give up their religion of rape. They don't, do they? They only associate with their own and are unfriendly to non beleivers like their religion tells them to, wrapping their women up like freaks and only interact with Europeans to rape, rob, or try to convert them. It is not an immigration, it is an invasion.

I've been an 'expat' for several years and counting, been on /trv/ since 2008, speak three languages, and been to every continent (minus the penguin one), over 30 countries (including several Muslim majority countries). While I'm sure there are people around with bigger e-penises than that, it's still enough for me that I don't really feel the need to suffer smug SJW bullshit from 19 year old Islamist apologists.

Probs more safe places full of muslims but you get my point.
>>1161120
Some of those places are safe insofar as being police states, but I would still exercise caution. You might get your shit wrecked if in the wrong place at the wrong time, or offend one of Allah's laws by allowing yourself to be raped for example.

Also, somehow I always managed to make vendors extremely pissed off when bartering
>>1162222
You're not very used to bartering, are you?
It's a common trick to the point of being omnipresent in many countries that the vendor will pretend to lose his temper or be extremely reluctant so that you feel forced to go back on your offer. If you do, you'll end up paying the "normal" price that will "feed his family" (which is five times the going price for a native". If you keep on pushing through, or if you just up and leave, most vendors will drop the charade and let you pay normal price.
People in foreign countries have long since caught on to the tendency of tourists, especially American ones, to be loose with money and panic at the first sign of trouble, as well as not bothering to understand the culture of the country they're visiting beforehand.

Out camping in Joshua Tree and we spot this really sketchy long greasy haired haired dude cruising along the campsites just staring, almost like hungry staring (possibly looking for a victim). I almost shat my pants when i realised we were the only ones sleeping in a tent, the rest of the campers were in their RVs.
Dominican republic is the fkn worst. The whole of Dominica (Haiti and Dominican republic island) is just a shithole if you count the shore out. The cities are soo sketchy you wouldn't believe.

I went on a 3 day trip to Jordan from Israel with a tour group and we were supposed to stay in a Bedouin camp for a night. However, my girlfriend would not camp out for a night and wanted to stay in a hotel. The group leader said they'd organise for us to a hotel for a night.
Later at about midnight a guy came up to me and my gf and said he would take us to a hotel. He told us to get into a beat up old jeep with no seatbelts so we did.
We drove an hour through the Jordanian desert at midnight, it was bumpy as fuck and the driver was constantly on his phone while driving. I thought we were going to get kidnapped and beheaded in the desert
>>1163859
>However, my girlfriend would not camp out for a night and wanted to stay in a hotel.
Christ what a princess cunt. You're with a fucking tour group, and Jordan is easy mode. In some ways easier than Israel, because at least you don't have hot-head heebs with a loose trigger-finger all over the place, or hopeless Pali teenagers looking to slash and martyr.
I was driven overnight from Cairo to Dahab in a van ('shuttle taxi'), granted back in 2008 before it was kidnap central.

That's not the right link, m8. That's about some Berlin hipster wacko who killed another dude and then killed himself.
DR, Santo Domingo- Got dropped off in the middle of nowhere because the Gua-Gua driver was drunk or something, street covered in garbage and dying stray dogs with mange everywhere. Got really strange looks form sketch looking Caribbean people and though I was being followed but probably just paranoid because nothing happened, found my way back to the center of town no problems.
Costa Rica- Got in a bar fight with a drunk local at Sharky's in Tamarindo when I refused to buy coke from him. After my mate and I pounded his ass into the concrete and he was dragged out to the street by the bouncer, he threatened us and said he was going to get his friends and be back. The bar owner told us the guy was a bigger dealer with lots of local friends and dangerous so we left though the back of the bar and left town the next day. Felt pretty sketch.
Probably the sketchiest thing (thank god) was telling a drug-dealer to fuck off in Goa. From the beach to my guesthouse, I had to take a certain path through some unlit back streets. A few days in a row I came back after midnight (one time with an Irish sloot, go me) and this same tweaked-looking dude would jump out of the shadows whisper-shouting "HASH COKE HEROIN SPEED?!", and repeating the same several times as we walked past. I confess to some interest in hash, but the guy was a completely dirty scuzzbucket, and I don't want to smoke literal dog shit, so no way. The first two times I just ignored him. But on the third day, a little liquored up, I stopped for a second to shout at him to FUCK OFF. Not wise, alone in a dark unlit alleyway labyrinth... He shouted back "NO YOU FUCK OFF" and puffed his chest like he was going to come at me. Honestly, I probably could've taken him, but he might've had a knife or some shit, and I was staying in town for a few more days, so I didn't want to have to trouble later. I just kept walking and took a different route from then on.
It was also a little scary because there are loads of stray dogs, mangy emaciated desperate little buggers, that roam the streets and beaches and night. You can hear them growling, yipping and fighting all night. Take the wrong turn on a street and you'll get a few of them growling at you. On a beach you can't see too far without lights, but you can hear them close by. I don't know why they don't just kill them.
>>1163859
That was in wadi rum right? what you experienced was totally normal with the jeep driver, nothing shady about it, i was there too, their jeeps are so old and overused that they don't have a functioning odometer anymore, if you stayed at the camp that night there might've been a chance a bedouin guy came to you and smoked hash, as it was the case with me, literally came out of nowhere and sat next to me near the campfire and lit one up
It's a great place, i'd suggest you go back there for a proper stay , i know i will.

It was probably nothing, but it was my first time travelling anywhere exotic, so it was rather sketchy to me.
