Ignore the security guard edition. Let's get back to discussing your Philippine travel related inquiries and opinions here.
>>2653293I’m glad you will be back with us! I’m enjoying balut and sweet longginisa for breakfast. Washing it down with my kopiko. Then I’m going to take the hot 2 hour jeepney ride into town to just walk around as the only white man in town. Maybe I will stop by jollibee for lunch. Then I’m going to take the jeepney 2 hours back to my cuckshed and spend a few hours on 4chan reminding guys how fucking good it is to be a crypto millionaire (in pesos) and to be married to a provincial virgin! And you can too if you are lucky like me! Picrel is my wife after we took the jeepney 7 hours to Dagupan.
>>2653330Does your wife and family make good balut and bagoong?
>>2653293If you ever get tired of being here and if both of you truly love each other, marry your gf and bring her to the States. Just like what I did with my wife whose interview will be in a couple of weeks.
>>2653410You are a fool. You will find out.
>>2653411They never listen to reason. It’s pointless. He will find out once he is penniless and an alcoholic looking at her on Facebook with her new man. If you are repulsive in the US then you are repulsive in the Philippines. Any woman who will give you attention is just trying to make some money. It’s not really love. It’s a business arrangement. Never Marry A whore
14.8 seconds of airtime edition>Last Thread: >>2637085>What is this thread? Why are there two generals?/rcg/ was initially created as a way for the roller coaster enthusiasts on here to discuss all things roller coasters and theme parks. While roller coasters are the main focus of these threads (and the title of the general) there is also discussion on other theme parks, their rides, as well as the parks themselves and trip planning too. That's where /tpg/ comes in.>Can I talk about Disney/Universal parks in this thread?Absolutely! Disney discussion of all sorts including rides/resorts/dining/trip planning is OK.Thread Tip Pro: When in line for a coaster with a bunch of normies, feel free to autistically infodump to them every single iota of information you know about the ride you are about to go on: opening date, manufacturer, # of inversions, stats etc.Roller Coaster Database:>https://rcdb.com/Amusement Park News Sites:Comment too long.

>Beginning July 3, some of the most beloved stories from Universal’s films will leap off the screen and land on the streets of Universal Studios Florida for Universal Mega Movie Parade – a spectacular celebration of iconic movies E.T., Back to the Future, Jaws, Ghostbusters, Jurassic World, Illumination’s Minions and Sing and DreamWorks Animation’s Trolls and Kung Fu Panda. Universal Mega Movie Parade will be Universal Orlando’s biggest daytime parade to date and combine 13 brand new floats, nearly 100 performers – including dancers, skaters, stilt walkers, poi performers and more – and special effects to create a jaw-dropping experience where guests can relive classic film moments in a whole new way.>Guests will watch in awe as they see the massive 16-foot Stay Puft Marshmallow Man atop the Ghostbusters float, the colorful Caterbus and giant rainbows on the vibrant Trolls float, a live marching drum line perform the iconic movie score of Jaws alongside a float themed to the film, and – for the epic finale – a Gyrosphere, Raptors and the fierce Tyrannosaurus rex aboard the Jurassic World float – and so much more. Fans should also pay close attention to the parade to see if they can spot additional details that nod to iconic elements from the films.>jurassic world instead of jurassic parkcringe alert.
>>2653359>Has Loch Ness Monster reopened yetWhich Florida park is that at? We only talk about Florida parks here.It’s supposed to open a week from Friday.
I'm going to Busch Gardens Williamsburg for the first time in a few weeks. I'm looking forward to riding all these coasters.
I'm driving from Phoenix to Seattle later this month. Leaving on a Thursday and working on Monday so I don't have much time to go of course. Excursions need to be under 2 hours or so. Here's some things I was thinking of visiting >Sequoia >Golden Gate Bridge >Redwoods>Crater lake(may need to skip)I don't think It'd be worth going to Yosemite if it's not a whole day/weekend thing. Any other stops you'd recommend? I've been to Grand Canyon, Death Valley, LA, Pinnacles, and taken the PCH before
>>2653382Your plan is doable but it's really hedging your bets on a lot of traffic simply not existing, parking in the cities not being shit, and getting very lucky that the tourism is low when you visit each place you listed. You don't have to be a complete dickhead to anons giving you advice here anon.
>>2653383Again as someone who lived in LA and has done long drives like this before, you're overestimating traffic when going around city because you don't know what you're talking about. Even if it was rush hour the entire time it wouldn't be as bad as you say. You're naive
>>2653388I'm glad you lived in LA, however there are other parts of your plan that will screw you over. Mostly the places you want to visit along with getting from A->D this all with checking into hotels, dealing with getting gas+food, and all this with other traffic. Your question is what other spots you should see when you're really squeezing your time?Keep in mindThursday you are looking at 12 hours on the roadFriday at least 6 if you want to stop at BSaturday you are looking at 5-6 then enjoy everyone else trying get there via the 101, hope you are leaving around 6am if you want to spend time enjoying that parkSunday looking at another 12 hours minimum You see how there is some unbalance? I mean great you can take a few tik tok vids and instagram shots as you won't really have that much time to take in all that much.
>>2653154I'd go to Sequoia and explore Eugene Oregon if I were you OP. I'd say Vegas and grand canyon if you haven't been
>>2653395I'm not going to everything listed in this thread retard>I mean great you can take a few tik tok vids and instagram shotsYeah seeing Giants Sequoias or the golden gate bridge isn't worth it if you only have a couple hours for each. >Just don't do anything bro Grow up child>>2653404Thought of stopping here too since I'm gonna be driving through. All I know about Eugene is University of Oregon. How's it compare to Portland?

>>2652946yeah, that’s how noble Ukranians treat their own people in their land that they intend to reclaim. pretty jewish if you ask me, keep sucking their cocks
>>2653046>Ukraniansrussians hate nazis and love jews though. jewtin made holocaust denial illegal in russia
>>2652764Ignore the shills. This board sucks when it comes to anything Russian. Reddit (specifically r/askarussian) is unironically miles above this shit hole board. This is beautiful though. Can I just enter Russia and take the train/drive to Crimea from Rostov or wherever? What's the viable route nowadays? For some reason flightradar says there are SmartAvia flight between Simferopol and Sheremetyevo as well as Pulkovo but that can't be right.
>>2653126I feel like there is one autistic butt hurt belter who doesn't understand that people want to visit the biggest country on earth. It having a reputation for being cheap, full of history, clean and having some of the most beautiful women on earth helps too.
>>2653126The hardest part would be getting a visa, I am not sure if they are issuing them for tourism from the USAI flew to Sochi from Istanbul and took a hired taxi to Crimea over the bridge. But it wouldn't surprise me if there are still some commercial flights into there
Any particular hikes or tours? I will be in the area a little over 24 hours in mid June.
>>2653267The North Rim has fewer toursts than the South Rim. This is common knowledge.
>>2653271You're so naive that you think the second most visited national Park isn't full of tourist even on the north rim. You have little travel experience and are low IQ so you've come to this conclusion
>>2653277I came to that conclusion after visiting multiple times but keep pretending that you know what you're talking about
>>2653284You came to that conclusion by having never been anywhere else kek.
>>2653277I've gone to the canyon in late winter and didn't feel like there were that many people there at all. And relatively few people go to the north rim but the park service is still trying for reservations systems because they're gatekeepy jews.
What places have you visited, or want to, that you'd describe as a shithole, whether endearingly or not
>>2653128It's just falling apart. Probably because it's full of Romanians.
>>2652993>>2653148rp me on turkish kurdistan pls
>>2653115>I've never seen anywhere in Scotland as run-down as places in Wales.the most run down place I've seen in scotland are the old pit villages in remote rural areas. the colliery closed half a century ago but somehow people still live there, presumably on gibs. bleak, soot stained buildings slowly crumbling, generationally unemployed residents milling around, the interior of the pub still has a trough urinal and hand stencilled signs in picrel font, even if you are only driving through it you feel depressed afterwards
>>2652895Nevada. I’m not well travelled but that was without a doubt the most depressing and shitty place I’ve ever visited.
>>2653150Stop using interstate truck stops to describe the wonderful heartland that is the Midwest.
Idaho has some of the best hiking and most beautiful scenery in the US. But because there's no fed run national parks tourists skip it lol. Literally some of the best scenery and hikes and drives in the intermountain West but because it's the onl western state with no fed parks even all the easy baby trails are secluded and empty
>>2653088People don't skip Idaho it's literally full of Californians now. Houses are expensive and people make like $9 an hour here
>>2653088God the south is so souless
>>2653149This. California literally destroyed the state>inb4 it's just Bioseyeah because ID has soooo much other infrastructure...
>>2653178>Iowa #1HAHAHAHAHAHA
>>2653393shits kinda boring but the quality of life here is great. I live in a metro of 225k but the suburb I am in is 97% white. You make good money here compared to the cost of living as well. Also... your moms a ho
What's the best place to go the face the most engaging bargainers? >Spent 2 months in India. Pajeets typically set a ridiculous price for whitey and refuse to budge beyond maybe 10%>no banter, no shit talking>they get upset when you drive a hard bargain>arrive in Kazakhstan>market vendors give a great back and forth, willing to go down to a price both parties are happy with after a good amount of push and pullWhat's the best country for bartering enjoyers? Turkey is also based.
>>2653079>irrationalIt's completely rational for an independent economic actor like myself to want to maximize his benefit>antisocialBoth parties understand the relationship is purely transactionalHere's a little tip from a pro: if you want to be successful in business, leave your personal feelings at the door.
>>2653050Kek
>>2653047"bartering is unethical"I think killing a retard like you would be entirely ethical for the betterment of the human race
>>2653047>>2653079Enjoy having your pride, conceit, and vanity being used against you.
>>2653047>Bartering is unethical. Just pay the upcharge; people have families to feed.This fake kindness and/or white guilt is in reality a superiority complex and covert racism.What make you think you are better than them and should look down on them? What makes you think that you live better than them?
>here’s your 18% tip for handing me a drink Is there anything fun to do here that doesn’t cost a fortune or that is even free for that matter? I’m sick of paying to do literally anything here.
>>2653275>in a German christian community where they live almost without technologies.you could have just said mennonite
>>2653275Yes. Canada is paradise to most Europeans. A utopia is what most whites would call Vancouver.
>>2653275Ok it’s not thaaaat bad but it’s not getting any better or will ever be better. Ten years ago I would said this place was great, but it’s actually noticeably getting worse and everyone is noticing it.
This is a Public Safety Announcement.All the disparagimg comments about white Canadians (they're rude, lazy, homeless, etc...) are made by a pajeets projecting to make themselves look better by comparison.Ignore them as best you can and don't believe them even for a second.
>>2653386I'm not a pajeet or a chang and it's 100% true. White people love being a racial underclass getting outperformed by third worlders that can't speak English. Honestly makes me believe the SJW stuff about whites looting India and Africa being true. White people can't even compete with illiterate third worlders.
Going to picrel for 5 days next month. What do if I want to eat with and talk to Polish people and avoid filthy tourists like myself
>>2648753Bumping in case anybody needs/wants this info, or would like more.
>>2643480Tbh Europe as a whole is becoming more retarded everyday. I'm teaching english here and most people can't learn shit even after repeating something 100x times.
>>2650416I think it's because more and more languages are available on websites, apps and programmes. People don't need to learn English to watch their favourite show anymore. Which is a shame. t. ESL
>>2650416Where do you teach?
>>2648753awesome recs
Let's talk about Eastern Europe travel here.Give me your favorite Eastern European spots/suggestions.
>>2651387>you will stick out like a sore thumbAnd? I asked if dark people suffer prejudice, not if they're rare, which it's obvious looking at the demographics.
>>2648299>How would visiting Russia scratch your cold war tourism itch?wouldn't it make the most sense to visit the largest republic of the soviet union if i wanted cold war tourism?
>>2647453>Ukraine not eastern europe>Belarus not eastern europe>frickin Russia not eastern europeBUT:>Romania eastern europe>Greece eastern europe> Bulgaria and balkans eastern europeRomanians speak fucking latin adjacent language you know, their culture has to be closer to France or Italy for example. And you are implying they are culturally closer to slavs? Same with greeks?What?
>>2651286depends on where in Poland probably. In southern Poland we have pretty good bus lines, bus every 15 at most 30 minutes , in 1 hour, 1:30h max i am in Krakow starting from my village
>>2653283OP is retarded, pls understand
I keep hearing >Japan is a great place to visit, but a terrible place to live! Those who've both travelled and lived in Japan, is this true? If so, why? I visited Japan last year, I know that obviously being on vacation with no commitments is a completely different experience from living somewhere and having a job, but still, to me it seemed like a place I would be happy to work in. >can go for a walk at night and don't have to get worried about getting robbed by a crackhead >know that if I leave my wallet somewhere, it'll still be there when I get back >if you live in a major city, you don't need a car, can basically get to anywhere in the country by bullet train >japanese people are polite, pleasant to be around, and keep to themselves which is great for an autistic introvert like me I know that Japan's working culture is extreme, but that only really applies to actual Japanese people, right? As a foreigner you won't really be expected to conform to any of the strict social rules
>>2651929Japan was cruel to me when I stayed for over 3 weeks
test
>>2652723Standards have been lowered so much that if you live in a country where you can take a nightwalk without fear of being mugged and infrastructure isn't visibly crumbling in 2024 then you're basically living in an utopia.Depressing.
>>2652965Visit Osaka and tell me that. The poos are plentiful in that town.I love Japan but could never master Kanji despite a formal attempt and the ability to acquire several European and Slavic languages. I earn a high professional compn in the US and this enables me to continue to visit Japan on my own dime.
>>2653385Well that's your issue, you can acquire European and Slavic languages because they share Germanic or Slavic language roots, something like Japanese is so far removed. I've noticed that many Westerners can simply never grasp stuff like correct pronunciation and intonation in all Asian languages, your brains just struggle to comprehend it for some reason. Good for you that you continue to visit, but personally I could never imagine myself going there without some grasp of the language, you are genuinely missing out on so much. Also Indians exist in all countries, they just manage to adapt to all societies. I hate Indian women in England though, they're attractive but are all uppity cunts.
Can some anons share?
>>2648481I mainly stayed in Kharagpur, which is a couple hours south of Kolkata, if I remember. Was in that direct area for most of the time which, outside of the city itself is surrounded by some houses and many, many medieval-esque stone huts. I found this pretty surprising/interesting. Rice fields galore. Occasionally we'd drive up to Kolkata with her parents(stopping or driving by many smaller towns in between which is where I am getting my sample size from, around 10-15 smaller towns/villages visited in this way). Then, I'd also travel to Sunderbans a few times which took an even longer drive to get to the coast, stopping less but seeing more. Once in a while we'd also stop, getting some sugar cane juice or coconuts on the side of the road to take a break from the chaotic roadways. You're right, though. I've never traveled beyond West Bengal/sunderbans. I was hoping for some kind of natural beauty to balance out the dire cultural side of the country (no offense if you're Indian..but there was more than once that I saw people just straight up punt feral dogs) but I guess that was just..everywhere other than where her family lived.
>>2648799He's kind of bullshitting. In New Delhi things are expensive but you could literally say that for any capital city. Can you get a nice hotel in Taipei for 40 dollars? Not really. Outside of Taipei you can. It's the same with India.
