Internet exist, people who travel like to pretend that they have reached an higher level of maturity than none travellers, they LARP as colonialist explorers.
That's the most autistic thing I've ever heard. Thinking you experienced something because you saw pictures of it on the internet is moronic. A lived life is what is worthwhile in the end >people larp / pretend they have reached a higher maturity
So what? What is it with this sites obsession with individuals and letting individuals define things for them. So, cringey fricking people exist that think they're hot shit for traveling... so? Does that make it not a good experience in life? Because you read more about cultures on the internet, that one loser that traveled a bunch and knows less than you now makes traveling gay and not a good way to live your life?

I don't understand why this is always something that perplexes people on how to get around. All you have to say is some family member died and you had to go take care of family affairs. Must be my field doesn't care about "gaps in CV" because I've never been tasked to justify what I do with my life. All they've ever wanted to know is if I've been involuntarily terminated or if my license has had action taken against it in the past.

Travelling is a product, it is as profound as buying expensive tickets to some concert. Travelling doesn't make you "cultured", travelling doesn't make you "wise", travelling doesn't make "interesting"
This. Travelling is an """experience""" for dumb consoomers with no talent/skill other than "I pay for fancy vacations so this should make me cooler than other people"
indonesia is really upset at white women. in bali, hordes of white women keep engaging disrespectful and degenerate behavior. they appear fully nude in public. they have sex in public. they piss on religious statues.
indonesia is actually considering forcing white tourists to take decorum lessons upon arrival to bali.
I remember reading a book about a guy trying to sail the entire Nile, and the first white person he sees on entering Sudan is a fat, middle-aged German woman who spends the winter months there with her local toyboy.
how about they just start offering them here, back in the west.
I'm so fricking sick of how women behave now. Covid was a goddamn disgrace. women shrieking at people for not following idiotic rules put in place by morons

Seems like all his advice on how to live a good life involves having a large amount of money. >Just travel all the time because well have jobs that will let us leave for a month or two to travel and all have the money to do so >Just order expensive food and drinks everywhere you go because we all can afford that >Just tip a ton for mediocre service because it's nice and you can afford that right?
I've always thought he was way more out-of-touch than people say. How the frick are you supposed to travel so much and experience so much unless you're filthy rich or getting paid to do it?
Anon you realize he wrote his book in like 2001. Beers were 3 bucks. No one drank IPAs yet, Sam Adams was the fanciest American beer. wienertails were like 6 bucks and they sure weren't made by some 24 year old with a masters
Was it the traveling or the fact where ever he went he found fun stuff to do? Granted the show found him the stuff, but if you can travel anywhere, even shit holes, ans have a good time, Id think that translates to a decent personality.
>DUDE, my girlfriend was grooming and raping children, so I paid them off so they wouldn't go to the Cops, but then they went to the Cops anyway and then I killed myself out of shame, LMAO
Yes, seeing old stuff in other countries is neat. Seeing rare things in museums is neat as well. Even going to old libraries can be fun. But going to your local library and checking out and actually reading a book is probably more enriching. I got a recommendation for a book last night from here no less that will probably help me more than riding a zipline in another timezone.

How much should I expect to spend (per person) on a trip to tokyo (aside from the flight) without having to stay in hostels? I don't need to stay in a fancy hotel, just something that isn't too dirty and where I have my own bedroom and bathroom. What's a good amount of time to go for a first timer?
Everyone keeps telling me it's ridiculously expensive, but you say it's not. How do you feel it compares to European cities?
Just google it you lazy frick. It differs depending on the time of year so take that into consideration.
If you don't want to pay much expect tiny hotel rooms, that's pretty normal there in general.
>just google it >also it's gonna suck and be expensive
lol you've never been have you, you're even wose because at least a travelgay shill is defending it because of the sunk-cost fallacy. also traveling obviously sucks dick look at how this conversation is going from the jump
Where did I say it's expensive or it's going to suck? I just said if you don't have much money, which is subjective anyway, you're not going to have rooms that are as large than in some rural area than in the US where space is abundant.
If you're going there you're not going to spend much time in your room anyway, so the space doesn't matter anyway.
The Yen is currently extremely weak to USD historically speaking. Great time to travel to Japan if you're burgerstani since the dollar is worth almost 40% more than it usually has been.
Usually it's an easy mental rule of thumb that it's 100 yen to a dollar. As you can see it's much more right now.
Anon is correct, when I first went in 2015 I was poor and I remember the exchange rate being shit. When I traveled from Tokyo to Kyoto and I got a nice sushi bento box with better stuff than you’d find in America for $13.
Well first how close do you live to Japan? What sort of things do you like to do? There are other cities in Japan. Tokyo can be very expensive if you’re going to some Sushi restaurant in Ginza otherwise you could just eat from convenient stores and still have good food.
you can get a pretty decent hotel in Tokyo for like $1200 a month. Try APA, Holic, Livemax or Ibis Styles and try neighborhoods not right in the middle. Konbini food is super cheap, conveyor belt sushi is super cheap, even if you're getting like nice steak regularly it's only like $30. Most expensive thing is the plane ticket. And if you're willing to stay in capsules they're extremely cheap like $300 a month

I'm actually American, I've just been other places so I know America is pretty mediocre
I'm sure seeing Paris filled with africans and arabs would improve the country
Paris is better than any city in America even with it's problems, and there are cooler places than Paris too. If Americans could see Tokyo, Singapore, Dubai etc. they'd realize that America is quickly becoming third world and excessively behind the times. Hell, even places that people hate on a lot like London and Paris are wayyyyyy better than NYC because NYC is a literal shithole, Americans just have 0 self awareness of this.
I've been to London, it's literally like most large American cities except with different landmarks and the people have different accents. There are still great cities out there but it's mostly the mid-sized or smaller cities since they are able to retain a bit of their culture.
American cities are so fricking shit bro every single one of them. What's the good city in America? SLC and Boise because they have no crime? Those cities are literal endless strip malls, most boring, ugly places ever

Savannah, GA was one of the most beautiful cities I've ever visited, it had a cool Southern gossip vibe that I've never experienced anywhere else.

The Riverwalk in San Antonio, TX is delightful too, and the Tex Mex in that city is great.

Europe is just strange to me as an American. It feels like you're in some glass bubble and you can't escape it, like being a house cat. Too domesticated. Must be the opposite of how yuros feels when they always complain about America seeming like a psycho meth fueled crazy town.
I will never go to Europe during the Summer because yall don't have air conditioning and as a fatass American I require air conditioning in every shop or hotel I go to.
Don't get me wrong, I love the castles, history, and culture of Europe. I was born there, and my mother is from Europe. But the quality of life is gay. Everything is expensive, forget owning land. Couldn't bring my guns with me, taxes were way higher than back in America, the famous universal healthcare has wait lists that can be over a year long.

It is not legal to create any new semi-private AKA shared hospital rooms in America in any hospital receiving medicare/medicaid dollars AKA all hospitals except private ones.

Any time a hospital is built or renovated they have to make the new rooms private.

all those countries are coming here in droves, the people themselves you're telling americans to visit and learn from. why isn't america seeing vast improvement with not only the observers, but the source itself coming here?
Because the government sucks and I'm not talking about travelling to the third world countries these people come from, obviously. Go to Asia or Europe and you'll see places better than America.
For all its faults America has top tier museums. The major museums are great, but what sets America apart from Europe is that it has a lot of weird little niche museums that focus on very specific, odd subjects. I've been thinking of one day doing a road trip and hitting up all the weird little museums that dot the US.
Different anon, but The national parks in America are some of the greatest in the world. The first time I saw half dome at yosimite was one of the most amazing things I have ever seen
I remember when they weren't 75% chinks. In fact, the essentially zero travel from China thanks to bat flu gave an amazing look into how our National Parks used to be and it was amazing. But man they fricking suck now, chink tourists are rude motherfrickers.
I’m assuming you’re referring to the Chinese and not just Asians in general because Korean and Japanese tourist tend to be respectful and polite. Even here in Korea Chinese tourist are generally hated for leaving trash everywhere, being rude, and not respecting where they are.

Well yeah, chinks meaning Chinese. There's chinks, nips, zipperheads, asiatics, etc. If I'm going to be using racial slurs I make sure to use them correctly. Chinks are awful. I can tell a chink tour from a jap tour 10 miles away. The nips are quiet, always look like they're tiptoeing around the place. Chinks are doing the opposite of that. Being rude, blocking pathways, blatantly disobeying park signs of staying on paths and not touching shit, etc.
Telling Americans they need to leave one of the most geographically diverse countries in the world was one of the greatest cons ever pulled by travel agents
Don't go to Paris. Go to New York.
The mountains of Asia? Why not go to Alaska or the Rockies instead?
European Culture? Visit the East Coast. America upholds European culture better than Europe does.

KEK NYC has to be the most boring, soulless megacity on earth, literally a concrete butthole, manhattan looks like a hallway of buildings with nothing but Mcdonalds and Starbucks
New York is the most culturally diverse and exciting city in the world. There's something happening on every corner, on every street, in every building. Its history and stories dwarf that of 'Ancient' cities like Rome or Athens. It simply is, THE global city.
>There's something happening on every corner

What’s better about New York than other cities? I’ve only been to one of their shit airports but I’m being serious and curious. I’ve been to most major cities in America and abroad. It was the most overpriced airport I’ve been to in my life. $20 for a beer pricey.

i honestly consider americans who go on road trips and hit small towns far more "well traveled" than the ones who fly across the ocean to fart around in a big city for a few weeks. maybe it's because i've actually done both though as opposed to captain TOKYO NUMBA ONE in this thread
I've watched rugby with scousers. I've played pokies with aussies on schnitzel night. I've smoked hookah in a dubai bar with arabs that were definitely not drinking. Doing normal stuff with normal people is kinda fun
While I agree with you it all depends on what stuff you're interested in. Also who in their right mind wants to go to NYC or any other big American city?
And also European culture, yeah buddy show me something comparable to pic rel in the US.
Yeah doesn't look bad but I was referring to culture, the Kölner Dom is 600 years older and Catholicism had way more influence in Europe than the Mormons in the US.
That's Köln/Cologne, Germany. I'm really not an expert because I've mostly traveled Europe so far but the most interesting city I've been in here was Berlin. Might go to Rome some day, the buildings even in some shitty side streets are awesome.
I have a friend that's one of those people that idolizes him and I can't stand it. I always tell him that you could have offered Bourdain a wienerroach covered in literal shit and tell him it was made by an Indian street vendor and he would slurp it down and talk about how incredible this country and it's people and food are for 10 minutes. He always gets pissy lol
>Muh service industry empathy
god I hate homosexuals like this. I had a hairdresser once who said she went into hairdressing to "help" people. Fricking bullshit. Try social work, or nursing, or literally any clinical profession. Having an autist punch you in the face while you attempt to give him vital treatment. Getting chewed out by minorities because their lack of gibs is your fault. Working night shifts at the hospital. And then doing it all over again tomorrow. That's real empathy, not this vapid service industry providing absolutely nothing essential for people.
it's also dumb of him to say that since it's his entire world, yeah i bet a lifelong firefighter would be pretty positively biased towards how great firefighters are
There's a ton of soulless israelites who only care about money that are in clinical professions, who'd happily pass you by to do paperwork, while you sit in your wheelchair with an open catheter. Kind souls are welcome in any profession that involves dealing directly with other people and immediately make it better, including someone painstakingly making sure you leave the hairdressing salon with the best hair they could give you
Someone explain to me why the hate for Bourdain? Is it because he had a traveling food tv show at the end of his career?
The man was a legitimate chef who climbed up the ranks starting from the bottom. He was a food and booze critic but unlike many others, actually had the chops to judge and had great takes. He single handedly brought the Blackni back into fashion and made oysters look humble and delicious instead of bougie food the rich love to hate.
So I gotta know; what did this man do that was so offensive you you spergs?
He had the appearance of a pseud, it's very easy for non-pseuds to sniff out a patronizing fake like Bourdain. He acted like he was "a man of the people" but it was clear he was of a different class treating normal people like he was going to the zoo to look at some weird animals. Just a really patronizing personality, which is clearly part of the reason he disliked Guy Fieri so much because Fieri was able to actually connect with the working class instead of looking down on them (or at least he gives the appearance that he does).
> He had the appearance of a pseud, it's very easy for non-pseuds to sniff out a patronizing fake like Bourdain
If you're a complete fricking idiot and only judge him on his travel tv show, I can see how you'd come to that conclusion.
The guy battled heroin addiction in NYC while working in F&B for 20 something years. That's not a pseud, that's a blue collar salt of the earth man. His experience is what made him suited for that show. Your ignorance is the only thing that makes him seem patronizing.
Bourdain grew up in a privileged household vacationing in France and going to fancy prepschools. He was not a man of the people in any way, shape, or form.
Every time I tell women that I don't care to travel, they look at me like I just kicked their dog. Good thing I am white and attractive so they don't mind until they find out I won't actually take them anywhere.
I thought women being massively into travelling was just an exaggeration until I tried to get into dating again after a long term relationship. Holy shit, every woman went on and on about travelling like it was some transcendental experience despite all going to the same places and doing the same basic shit. I don't know how companies did it but they psy-op'd an entire gender into throwing away tens of thousands at their peak into into meaningless excursions that they barely remember outside of photos that no one else wants to look at.
I love to travel and I’m a man but I don’t understand the specific fascination when it comes to women. Honestly Bourdain’s shows did give me a perspective but even before that I watched people like Rick Steves and Samantha Brown going around. I think social media is to blame. I don’t think many people after 2006 and access to smart phones were traveling to counties like Vietnam or other places in mass. Women would have been too moronic to know how to get around.
People who travel are honestly an instant red flag to me. I've never been outside America and I don't need to. Other countries are corrupt, godless and actively make a person more evil just by being there.

America is so fricking bad if you defend it you are delusional, this is why refusing to leave America is a phobia. Sure, America is great if you want to spend a lot of money to sit inside, other places will uplift you simply by looking at the scenery though.
US cities have no scenery, US towns ruin the scenery by putting up highways and strip malls with no regard to aesthetics. Sure the USA has some great nature, but those aren't the places people live and all of the national parks are corporatized, cost money to get in, you need to drive 45 minutes to get there, overcrowded.
Europe and Asia manage to build their towns and cities based on aesthetics, staying in towns and cities there is an uplifting experience while the only towns in America that are actually nice are the ones that are sooooo out of the way like in the rural rockies

European cities are the same as US cities except with different scenery and fewer Black folk, you're just delusional. Also they're trying real hard to change the "fewer Black folk" part.

I've traveled before. You're not special because of it. But if you can't find nice areas around where you live, that's a personal problem. You either live in a shit area in which case you should spend resources on fixing that, OR you've made traveling such a large part of your identity that you can't enjoy your own area.
I went on a long drive this weekend on the mid-Atlantic and enjoyed myself and found a lot of nice areas to stop and even live if I was inclined.

I'm saying literally the opposite of "I'm special for travelling" I'm saying all Americans should travel outside of America because the infrastructure is better in other places and maybe if Americans had perspective on that they'd desire less repetitive suburbs and highways and more actual uplifting infrastructure.

Infrastructure is everything that makes up the city, experiencing a place like Tokyo or Prague with incredible, all encompassing good urban design and infrastructure is a very fun experience. It's more than just the buildings being better, which they are, the neighborhoods are better, more to do, more to see, better looking. Tokyo is filled with shrines that all have free live performances, Tokyo has neighborhoods like the Tokyo Dome city that has roller coasters and water slides right in the middle of the city, a train ride from the beach a train ride from the mountains, no where in America is like that.

Do you think the people who plan infrastructure are unable to travel outside of America? Or lack of exposure to other methods of infrastructure are what's limiting us? Do you think city planners don't have access to the internet?

Chicago is one of the greatest cities I’ve visited, granted I’ve never been to the shitty areas. Brilliant architecture, good food and people, some of the best museums in the world. But really I wouldn’t rate most of the US cities I’ve been to in my top five and I’ve been to most of a lot of them. Hong Kong and Tokyo are some best cities I’ve ever been to. Being more of ethnostates has a lot to do with it

I can't really speak for the US but from all I've seen you have stunning and diverse landscapes everywhere. Main problem might be that a large amount of those areas is private property.
And living in a city in Europe isn't that romantic for the most part either, you may not have as much problems as in the US but it's still not great. At least you can walk anywhere and public transportation is halfway usable I guess.

I went to Europe in 2018 and was going to go on another trip this year but decided not to. I'd rather buy nice things that last. Travel is kind of a waste of money. I'd rather buy new furniture and a car than waste 3 weeks and 4k.
Alternatively, you can rent a car for 2 days for 100 bucks and travel around your region for way cheaper and see new things, eat regional food and go to museums etc if you're an American.
I come across an interesting if not infamous website, seemingly as old as the internet itself yet never truly explored by the average mind.
*grabs a live chicken and bites its head off*
As I was saying, my journey for fame, fortune, and food has brought me to Cinemaphile; known to some as the true birthplace of the modern internet. Specifically I find myself on Cinemaphile, a den of the absurd, the dying, the reborn, and the contrarian; dedicated to the "discussion" of all that takes place in front of a camera lens.
*kills the last animal of an endangered species*
I see Aiden Gillen, a close friend of mine who has become a peculiar case; blossomed into somewhat of an ironic god for the ever sarcastic masses of Cinemaphile. A simple phrase from his opening lines in "The Dark Knight Rises" immortalizes him in the memetic dreams of Cinemaphile. Not long after, I encounter a scantily clad prepubescent girl who makes some vulgar sexually suggestive approaches towards me -- likely the work of the less reputable men who lurk in the shadows of Cinemaphile. A fight breaks out nearby, two overweight men with poor hygiene fighting over the sexual history of a B list actress. I smell the pungent aroma of passed gas; it smells good. It smells like beautiful disgusting chaos. I'm starting to feel at home here.
*shoots a doe in mid birth and uses its umbilical cord to strangle the barely newborn fawn*
I ask the locals for their opinions of my own work on television and it doesn't bode well for me, I'm called a pretentious homosexual and told to kill myself. The lingering insecurity of my sexual past flares up like a gazelle blown apart by a stick of dynamite, and I leave to ponder about my experiences with Cinemaphile...and of course...find something to eat.
*drags the corpse of a homeless man into a nearby kitchen*
Do normies realize Japan is so great because its an ethnically homogeneous country? Its funny how americans think they "beat" japs in the war, when now their whole country is basically a third world shithole filled with poor mexicans and savage blacks
>Do normies realize Japan is so great because its an ethnically homogeneous country?
They never even start to consider why Japan is so great. To them it just is and no further thought is necessary.
I don't hate it. In fact its fun if you actually go to a cool country like South Africa and you see big white sharks and lions
But people who think travelling makes them cool/interesting are morons. Its a consumer product at best, just like iPhones
im simply not doing it, massive waste of money and roi is almost nonexistent unless you're a coping dimwit. those funds can go to much better uses like mortgage/emergency fund/future children tuition fund/etc. In the US there's so many different biomes and natural beauty that international travel is simply to waste money so you can feel rich.
I'm a Hispanic. How do I become an amerifriend citizen? My english is pretty good and I look like a younger, slimmer Tony Soprano
My country is a shithole ran by corrupt politicians and crime is getting more and more extreme with each day. I just want to run away and be safe
In terms of being a citizen just take the tests and stuff, move to a cheaper state and don’t live in some purely gentrified place, which is one of the harder parts. If you mean friendly with most Americans I would say that most of us are more friendly than the media portrays. Plus you seem to write at least good English, how well do you speak it?
>get a visa >buy a plane ticket >overstay your visa >make sure a Democrat is president when you do this
Done, that's how most of them do it. Go an marry an American woman (or man if you're a chick) and you'll be home free. Don't be one of those saps who walks to the American border and has to pay the cartel a lot of money, your safety isn't guaranteed that way.
>I traveled to a Muslim dessert shithole to...use the bathrooms and brag about them online
do travelcells really?
I kneel. Maybe spend the money on a down-payment for a home and finish the bathroom like a saudi oil barron and you know...actually own something?
you're so mindfricked. you're really bragging about some shitty saudi hotel bathroom and I'm telling you that you can own some gaudy bathroom if you like it so much but the thought of it is like poison to your consoomer mind. fricked up
there is no bigger waste of money than traveling. my fricking gf wont stop hounding me to go on a trip. we have a house, I'd much rather spend the money on my home and just stay here away from people. to me, traveling is like pissing your money right down the drain, you gain nothing from it except pictures and jet lag and you wind up right back at home anyway. frick traveling
You either barely scrape by or you travel like a scrub. I've traveled in foreign countries 4 weeks at a time and the total bill there and back and the whole stay/backpacking was $2400. I'm not a 'oh i like traveling' instaprostitute so I don't do it often but it's not expensive to travel if you do your research and get deals going.
you have the right idea. but did you buy a house with a woman who's not your wife? that'd be moronic if true.
got another fun weekend planned to makeup for wasting away your life making some israelite richer with your reward being an empty house and being a dog daddy? sounds fulfilling and amazing!
>projection
What do you do with your weekends? nothing because you have to save pennies to splurge for the 6 bed hostel room in Bangkok. hopefully there's a girl this time so you can see her change!
>american cities are shitty because they're filled with shitskins >no! european cities are shitty because they're filled with shitskins!
What is the point of this argument
Pre-industrial western cities were pretty comfy. They might’ve smelled a bit like shit and clean water and food was more of an issue, but like any time if you had the appropriate wealth you didn’t deal much with that.
>traveling is le bad because bourgeois liberals do it for instagram clout
Yes, those people are insufferable. But to write off travel entirely is 90 iq hick thinking, who would scrutinize any beer that's not budweiser, and think wine is for gay people. Nothing wrong with those earthy people but they are not cultured, and culture can best be taken in by reading world literature and then visiting those places you read about to absorb the ethos of the place.
Going to bangkok or buenos aires is infinitely more interesting than what most Americans do - Florida, west indies, or some nearby lake you go to every summer.
>Going to bangkok or buenos aires is infinitely more interesting than what most Americans do - Florida, west indies, or some nearby lake you go to every summer.
Why? If you're from bangkok or australia or something then that's a common destination and going to Florida or some lake in Michigan would be the foreign trip. It's all relative.
If you go to the lake and have a crazy fishing trip with friends and family that can be more rewarding than going to buenos aires and sitting in a club every day.
Since we are on the topic of NY, Ive lived here all my life (33 now) and I have never seen this city in such a bad state. Criminals let go immediately with a slap on the wrist, illegal immigrants pouring in by the thousands every day, prices of everything is going through the roof, its an absolute shithole. My sister was punched in the head by a random black man in manhattan last week, there was nothing she could do but take it and move on, she didnt bother calling the police because theyre useless.
NTA but I follow NYC politics because I used to live there. The worst thing about this was that Adams was the most pro-police, anti-crime candidate that was viable. The guys who competed with him and who will compete with him again in the future are even worse.
Why would you stay there? I genuinely don't get it. I lived in DC for years and left after 2020 because I'm not moronic. I don't get complaining and just staying, if my sister was punched in the head by a random guy I'd be in prison for murdering homeless people the next night. Cuck.
Recently some Koreans got attacked by some black kids on a New York subway and it’s so funny to see people in general and especially on Reddit rip toe around the obvious if you know what I mean
if you point out anything obvious about blacks annoying the shit out of people you'll get down voted to oblivion.
I’m not the smartest guy in the world but I know to reel myself back in situations in real life where this sort of thing gets brought up. Especially as a white guy living in Korea. You can probably imagine the sort of person that travels to a different country to work in Asia is pretty liberal, I am not. My ex Korean girlfriend brought up Asian hate and I either didn’t want to have an argument, was smart enough when to shut my mouth, or too much of a pussy to bring up the notion that it seems to be that a lot of the Asian hate is perpetuated by a certain group of people. Same around co workers.
ITT: fat american mutts seething
America is a land of mass consumerism, greed, and envy. It's the great satan and a shadow of its former self. Its vast nature is being spoiled by those who inhabit it. It has no culture except for Black person worship, nationalism is dead because republicans would rather give money to Israel and Ukraine while Democrats want to castrate your children. When you defend America, you defend the right to be a proud goy.

Women inherently believe that, and they've never heard of this loser
Except they buy the all inclusive package that goes past all the hottest tourist traps, literally the opposite of this cuck
what the frick is wrong with traveling now?
Internet exist, people who travel like to pretend that they have reached an higher level of maturity than none travellers, they LARP as colonialist explorers.
That's the most autistic thing I've ever heard. Thinking you experienced something because you saw pictures of it on the internet is moronic. A lived life is what is worthwhile in the end
>people larp / pretend they have reached a higher maturity
So what? What is it with this sites obsession with individuals and letting individuals define things for them. So, cringey fricking people exist that think they're hot shit for traveling... so? Does that make it not a good experience in life? Because you read more about cultures on the internet, that one loser that traveled a bunch and knows less than you now makes traveling gay and not a good way to live your life?
Going on a holiday is fine. "Travelling" is insipid. Saying "I love to travel" is a red flag.
>is a red flag.
If incels hate roasties so much why do they use their terminology?
Is paying hush money to the underaged kid who cucked you a personality trait as well?

I make very little money and spend half the year travelling, I wouldn't work every day for a million dollars a year

"Yeah I quit cause I felt like traveling" is gonna sound great at the interview
>>"Yeah I quit cause I felt like traveling" is gonna sound great at the interview
I don't understand why this is always something that perplexes people on how to get around. All you have to say is some family member died and you had to go take care of family affairs. Must be my field doesn't care about "gaps in CV" because I've never been tasked to justify what I do with my life. All they've ever wanted to know is if I've been involuntarily terminated or if my license has had action taken against it in the past.
Lol for 6 weeks? Good for you having a career that is so easy to switch employers or whatever, but in reality most don’t. If you can’t understand that I’m surprised you’re capable of much beyond finger painting.

Travelling is a product, it is as profound as buying expensive tickets to some concert. Travelling doesn't make you "cultured", travelling doesn't make you "wise", travelling doesn't make "interesting"
This. Travelling is an """experience""" for dumb consoomers with no talent/skill other than "I pay for fancy vacations so this should make me cooler than other people"

Thinking people change much after they’ve matured is an opinion mostly held by children. How old are you, son?
-t. underaged
People change a lot as they age. Often they get less willing to put up with other people's bullshit.
Lol, ok kiddo.
Just because you never developed and are emotionally stunted doesn't mean that's true for the majority of people.
>look mom, I’m so developed and mature!
>By the time I’m 60 I’ll be like a wizard!
Some people change, some people don't, some change isn't visible on the surface, why are you arguing about this it's not black and white.
Thinking 60 year olds are immune to emotion and weakness is a childish way of thinking. That isnt “black and white” it’s an observation.
No one said that aging makes you immune to emotion you moron, it's just that your lived experiences and the chemical changes that occur in you brain make you react to things differently. Young people tend to be more impulsive than older people because they have had fewer experiences and haven't obtained the wisdom of the old, but of course there are still some people who grow old without gaining any wisdom and who are still rash, impulsive morons.
What chemical changes exactly?
Puberty, for one.
you're right. there's just one or two seething cucks here defending a junkie cuck and tRaVeLiNg, because it threatens their superiority complex. actually, they're probably just trolling because their arguments are so baseless and moronic
apparently older than ACK bourdain emotionally lmao
Seems like all his advice on how to live a good life involves having a large amount of money.
>Just travel all the time because well have jobs that will let us leave for a month or two to travel and all have the money to do so
>Just order expensive food and drinks everywhere you go because we all can afford that
>Just tip a ton for mediocre service because it's nice and you can afford that right?
I've always thought he was way more out-of-touch than people say. How the frick are you supposed to travel so much and experience so much unless you're filthy rich or getting paid to do it?
That was his advice, moron, that’s some psycho NEET’s rambling.
Nuh uh
Anon you realize he wrote his book in like 2001. Beers were 3 bucks. No one drank IPAs yet, Sam Adams was the fanciest American beer. wienertails were like 6 bucks and they sure weren't made by some 24 year old with a masters
The only tragedy about Boredain's death is that it didn't happen sooner
Was it the traveling or the fact where ever he went he found fun stuff to do? Granted the show found him the stuff, but if you can travel anywhere, even shit holes, ans have a good time, Id think that translates to a decent personality.
Yes you’re right but we’re posting on Cinemaphile
If he was having so much fun why did he kill himself?
everyone does until they don't
>DUDE, my girlfriend was grooming and raping children, so I paid them off so they wouldn't go to the Cops, but then they went to the Cops anyway and then I killed myself out of shame, LMAO
Travelling is fun and bragging about how much you hate travelling is only something you can do on Cinemaphile not real life
Bragging about traveling is everywhere else. It doesn't make you interesting or cultured. It means you got in an aluminum tube
It is literally the only thing that makes you cultured
Yes, seeing old stuff in other countries is neat. Seeing rare things in museums is neat as well. Even going to old libraries can be fun. But going to your local library and checking out and actually reading a book is probably more enriching. I got a recommendation for a book last night from here no less that will probably help me more than riding a zipline in another timezone.
You can literally read a book and travel at the same time moron
>waste money traveling and staying in hotels when he could just read the book at home
There's no point in traveling if you could do the activity from your own home.
If you can read in one place, might as well read in any other
But can you read on a zipline?
No you can’t. How would you be able to see where you’re going? moron
Oh yeah? Explain how I'm playing fortnite and posting on Cinemaphile at the same time then.
>brown eyes
Frick this guy, don't care what movie he's in
he played James Bond
Do you guys like tell your plumbers going around plunging toilets isn’t a personality trait?
These people don't talk to anyone ever, Cinemaphile is literally the shutin board
plumbers have valuable skills that contribute to society.
pretending you're cultured because you ate a shit sandwich in botswana, however, contributes nothing to society
So it’s just about feeling superior? I see.
"society" doesn't exist, people just do things
Everyone ITT needs to buy a plane ticket to Tokyo RIGHT NOW.
STOP MAKING EXCUSES
STOP ACTING LIKE GOING TO TOKYO WOULDNT MAKE YOU VERY HAPPY
i don't like big cities
Let me guess, you're American? Yeah all the big cities in America fricking suck. Tokyo is so amazing because its a huge city that actually doesn't suck, really good everything, tons and tons of interesting shit, and it's also not expensive like American cities
And hey, if you really don't like cities then go south of Tokyo, Kanagawa and Shizouka prefecture also extremely serene and filled with interesting stuff too
i think im finna go next april for evo japan
How much should I expect to spend (per person) on a trip to tokyo (aside from the flight) without having to stay in hostels? I don't need to stay in a fancy hotel, just something that isn't too dirty and where I have my own bedroom and bathroom. What's a good amount of time to go for a first timer?
Everyone keeps telling me it's ridiculously expensive, but you say it's not. How do you feel it compares to European cities?
Just google it you lazy frick. It differs depending on the time of year so take that into consideration.
If you don't want to pay much expect tiny hotel rooms, that's pretty normal there in general.
>just google it
>also it's gonna suck and be expensive
lol you've never been have you, you're even wose because at least a travelgay shill is defending it because of the sunk-cost fallacy. also traveling obviously sucks dick look at how this conversation is going from the jump
Where did I say it's expensive or it's going to suck? I just said if you don't have much money, which is subjective anyway, you're not going to have rooms that are as large than in some rural area than in the US where space is abundant.
If you're going there you're not going to spend much time in your room anyway, so the space doesn't matter anyway.
The Yen is currently extremely weak to USD historically speaking. Great time to travel to Japan if you're burgerstani since the dollar is worth almost 40% more than it usually has been.
Usually it's an easy mental rule of thumb that it's 100 yen to a dollar. As you can see it's much more right now.
Anon is correct, when I first went in 2015 I was poor and I remember the exchange rate being shit. When I traveled from Tokyo to Kyoto and I got a nice sushi bento box with better stuff than you’d find in America for $13.
Well first how close do you live to Japan? What sort of things do you like to do? There are other cities in Japan. Tokyo can be very expensive if you’re going to some Sushi restaurant in Ginza otherwise you could just eat from convenient stores and still have good food.
you can get a pretty decent hotel in Tokyo for like $1200 a month. Try APA, Holic, Livemax or Ibis Styles and try neighborhoods not right in the middle. Konbini food is super cheap, conveyor belt sushi is super cheap, even if you're getting like nice steak regularly it's only like $30. Most expensive thing is the plane ticket. And if you're willing to stay in capsules they're extremely cheap like $300 a month
That or bullet train tickets to another city but that’s worth the price imo
Saw nip news last week that they're raising the prices of pretty much all train/bus/transit tickets by about 70% which is nuts
he supported white genocide
My old boss has had diarrhea for the last 20 years after a trip to Mexico.

>good morning, sir. i believe you have misproportioned the size of my food ball.

Before the Internet became mainstream there was great value in traveling. Now it's just a meme for low IQ people who are unable to take in information and recreate it in their minds. (Like women.)
You can't experience the world from the internet, thinking you can is low IQ
You actually can, but you just want an excuse to take selfies next to generic important place #2839
He was rich and famous with the coolest job ever and he still offed himself. What chance do I have?
He offed himself because it's kino, so kino it makes the incels here seethe
>What chance do I have?
Simply don't give yourself anhedonia by burning your brain with drugs like Bourdain did
>"travelling" now means flying to a major megacity in another country and just walking around there doing everything you were doing in the megacity you live in pretending it's exciting
or, ya know, experiencing things unique to the region
Yes, of course you're correct about that. Things are just a little bit different everywhere
A lot of normal people doing normal things.
>But it's mass transit in another city. Underground.
Ok dude, it was kind of amusing but I still got from A to B
for me it's going to bars in rural areas and bantering people like shitposting on Cinemaphile irl
frick big cities and tourist traps I just want to see how the regular people live and behave
I'd rather visit your irrelevant town than see the Eiffel Tower or whatever
Lindyman is a homosexual
>why would you want to see the best architecture a nation has to offer that is conveniently close to the airport?
Nah bro I'd rather look at a field in Belgium which is totally different to that field in France, England, the Netherlands...
the city i live in is basically all foreigners now. i smell their shitty food, i hear their shitty music, and i see their shitty domestic disputes with each other - and these i assume are the best of their culture, because they had the means of coming to america. what do i have to gain from traveling to their country?
>what do i have to gain from traveling to their country?
You can frick their prostitutes and drink the local alcohol for cheap.
A break from the third world shithole your area has become? Are you moronic? You just described the perfect reason for travelling. Do you think you can only go to third world shitholes?
this, people in shitty areas who are huge doomers are the main people hating on travelling. No one says "my life is TOO GOOD to experience life somewhere else"
Do you think he brought up Operation timber sycamore with Obama?
Shit man, that's probably why Obama had him killed. Obama's the only president since Woodrow Wilson who decided to live in Washington DC after his presidency was over btw, and Wilson only stayed there because he had a stroke and they thought he'd die if they moved him very far. I wonder why Obama decided to stick around...
Biden is Obama's third term.
The restaurant they went to is a pedophile den.
Imagine how much America could improve if Americans actually travelled to other countries instead of posting threads like this.
Imagine how much the rest of the
world could improve if they took just one hour a day off from seething over America.
I'm actually American, I've just been other places so I know America is pretty mediocre
Paris is better than any city in America even with it's problems, and there are cooler places than Paris too. If Americans could see Tokyo, Singapore, Dubai etc. they'd realize that America is quickly becoming third world and excessively behind the times. Hell, even places that people hate on a lot like London and Paris are wayyyyyy better than NYC because NYC is a literal shithole, Americans just have 0 self awareness of this.
I've been to London, it's literally like most large American cities except with different landmarks and the people have different accents. There are still great cities out there but it's mostly the mid-sized or smaller cities since they are able to retain a bit of their culture.
American cities are so fricking shit bro every single one of them. What's the good city in America? SLC and Boise because they have no crime? Those cities are literal endless strip malls, most boring, ugly places ever
>What's the good city in America?
Savannah, GA was one of the most beautiful cities I've ever visited, it had a cool Southern gossip vibe that I've never experienced anywhere else. I'd imagine New Orleans might have something similar but I've never been there. Pittsburgh, PA was a fantastic city as well, very clean and beautiful. The Riverwalk in San Antonio, TX is delightful too, and the Tex Mex in that city is great.
I've been to Savannah it's mediocre and overrated. New Orleans is somewhat nice but if you think Paris is a Black person infested shithole New Orleans is 1000 times worse. Pittsburgh is actually surprisingly a pretty interesting city, I like it a lot, but it has a lot of ugliness for sure. Texas sucks ass
>unironically defends Paris and London
>thinks America is third world
LMMMAAOOOOOOOOO
>WHOA THERES BLACK PEOPLE
I'm talking about infrastructure and interesting activities. Paris and London mog anywhere in the USA in those respect. If you compare America to places like Prague or even fricking Warsaw there's no comparison.
>interesting activities
I think I'll pass. I can get stabbed or mugged at home without all the cost of travel.
I mean, you say that like American cities aren't all 10 times as dangerous as any city in Europe. Not to mention Japan. More people are murdered in Chicago per year than all of Japan.
You aren't going to get murdered or shot in most American cities unless you go to the areas that are very obviously shady. If you go to an area that's starting to look like the ghetto then turn around and go back the way you came. I don't know if foreigners have the ability to pick out ghetto areas by sight though.
All of NYC looks ghetto compared to cities in MOST other countries.
That’s not the point though, moron. You have a BETTER CHANCE of being murdered in Black person holes than elsewhere.
>Chicago
American cities, not basketball american cities.
Even "safe" cities like Salt Lake City have a murder rate 8 times as high as London
I grew up in NYC and I'm a white minority here, everyone is a fricking spic
>Paris is better than any city in America
Paris may as well be a city in America with demographics like that
>Paris is better than any city in America even with it's problems, and there are cooler places than Paris too.
I mean, it's still 100 times less ugly than NYC, have you seen how ugly NYC is?
I'm not going to israelite York either.
Go to Tokyo, it's a mindblowingly aesthetic and unique place
>I've just been other places so I know America is pretty mediocre
I'm an American and I once spent 6 years living in Europe. I'd still pick America every single time.
Why?
I will never go to Europe during the Summer because yall don't have air conditioning and as a fatass American I require air conditioning in every shop or hotel I go to.
Don't get me wrong, I love the castles, history, and culture of Europe. I was born there, and my mother is from Europe. But the quality of life is gay. Everything is expensive, forget owning land. Couldn't bring my guns with me, taxes were way higher than back in America, the famous universal healthcare has wait lists that can be over a year long.
Europe is a great place to visit, but not to live. I'll choose America to live every time.
>explain to an American online or in person about the waitlists and how there's no such thing as private rooms when you stay in the hospital like they're used to
>they either ignore me or tell me i'm lying
America won't give you private rooms either even with decent insurance
you get private rooms all the time tf are you on about? there's 3 levels, emergency, intermediate, and ICU. All 3 give private rooms, the only time you would be stuck in the hallway is if it's overcrowded and that only happens in the shit hole cities.
>America won't give you private rooms either
It is not legal to create any new semi-private AKA shared hospital rooms in America in any hospital receiving medicare/medicaid dollars AKA all hospitals except private ones. What you saw, if you're not just talking out of your ass, are rooms that already existed that way for several decades. Any time a hospital is built or renovated they have to make the new rooms private.
Get a job anon. Unless you're using urgent care you'll get a room with any basic insurance. Even urgent care has basic rooms
Europe is just strange to me as an American. It feels like you're in some glass bubble and you can't escape it, like being a house cat. Too domesticated. Must be the opposite of how yuros feels when they always complain about America seeming like a psycho meth fueled crazy town.
I'm sure seeing Paris filled with africans and arabs would improve the country
all those countries are coming here in droves, the people themselves you're telling americans to visit and learn from. why isn't america seeing vast improvement with not only the observers, but the source itself coming here?
Because the government sucks and I'm not talking about travelling to the third world countries these people come from, obviously. Go to Asia or Europe and you'll see places better than America.
does america not have shitty museums and beaches?
For all its faults America has top tier museums. The major museums are great, but what sets America apart from Europe is that it has a lot of weird little niche museums that focus on very specific, odd subjects. I've been thinking of one day doing a road trip and hitting up all the weird little museums that dot the US.
Different anon, but The national parks in America are some of the greatest in the world. The first time I saw half dome at yosimite was one of the most amazing things I have ever seen
I remember when they weren't 75% chinks. In fact, the essentially zero travel from China thanks to bat flu gave an amazing look into how our National Parks used to be and it was amazing. But man they fricking suck now, chink tourists are rude motherfrickers.
I’m assuming you’re referring to the Chinese and not just Asians in general because Korean and Japanese tourist tend to be respectful and polite. Even here in Korea Chinese tourist are generally hated for leaving trash everywhere, being rude, and not respecting where they are.
Well yeah, chinks meaning Chinese. There's chinks, nips, zipperheads, asiatics, etc. If I'm going to be using racial slurs I make sure to use them correctly. Chinks are awful. I can tell a chink tour from a jap tour 10 miles away. The nips are quiet, always look like they're tiptoeing around the place. Chinks are doing the opposite of that. Being rude, blocking pathways, blatantly disobeying park signs of staying on paths and not touching shit, etc.
Telling Americans they need to leave one of the most geographically diverse countries in the world was one of the greatest cons ever pulled by travel agents
Don't go to Paris. Go to New York.
The mountains of Asia? Why not go to Alaska or the Rockies instead?
European Culture? Visit the East Coast. America upholds European culture better than Europe does.
Exotic cuisine? America is full of it.
Go to Tokyo, way way nicer than anywhere in America it's not even close.
>go to new york
KEK NYC has to be the most boring, soulless megacity on earth, literally a concrete butthole, manhattan looks like a hallway of buildings with nothing but Mcdonalds and Starbucks
New York is the most culturally diverse and exciting city in the world. There's something happening on every corner, on every street, in every building. Its history and stories dwarf that of 'Ancient' cities like Rome or Athens. It simply is, THE global city.
>There's something happening on every corner
Yeah a Black person smoking crack
Tokyo has 17 bars on every street and they're all 24 hours, NYC doesn't even have bars open past like 4
new york is the greatest city in america. i dont believe you've actually been there
NYC sucks so much ass
sucks so much ass and the only time infrastructure gay is actually right, nothing works there so much as it "isnt currently falling apart this very moment"
NYC is literally a concrete hell hole overflowing with rats and ghettos.
What’s better about New York than other cities? I’ve only been to one of their shit airports but I’m being serious and curious. I’ve been to most major cities in America and abroad. It was the most overpriced airport I’ve been to in my life. $20 for a beer pricey.
>I've been to the airport and it was shit
this is most travelgays. they go to the CBD or Aiport and call themselves world travelers. I hate NYC but I'm able to enjoy parts of it because I actually like traveling, not just bragging about traveling and stamps on a passport. Can't believe you actually typed this out.
This is it. Vacation is great. Traveling as a hobby is soulless
I’m asking you why it’s nice you moron and admitting I haven’t been there
Haven't been there in almost fifteen years but the Natural History Museum is great. Central Park is also really nice, and you get the standard tourist stuff like the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building. Broadway shows are also good if you're into that, good street food too.
>Haven't been there in almost fifteen years but
yeah, shut the frick up. you have no idea what you're talking about and you're telling people to go into a war zone. that NYC has been dead for a long fricking time.
>you're telling people to go into a war zone
OK calm down.
>new york is the greatest city in america
lmao. this is your brain on "it's be the year 2000 forever". The only place worse than NYC is LA since LA has recently hit brazillian favela level, this week advising residents to start putting metal bars on their windows and purchasing 'i'm getting home invaded' air horns
i have not been to new york since 2012. is it bad now? in 2012 i thought it was nice atleast in the tourist areas
new york is pretty safe because the cops there actually crack skulls unlike every single other american city
>new york is pretty safe because the cops there actually crack skulls
I tell you again, Giuliani has not been in office for over 20 years now.
>moron who thinks giuliani ever did anything
NYC is safe compared to American cities but it still has 3 times the murder rate of London and 6 times the murder rate of Paris, about 24 times that of Tokyo kek
>NYC is safe compared to American cities
fricking where exactly?
east saint louis and southside chicago?
i honestly consider americans who go on road trips and hit small towns far more "well traveled" than the ones who fly across the ocean to fart around in a big city for a few weeks. maybe it's because i've actually done both though as opposed to captain TOKYO NUMBA ONE in this thread
I've watched rugby with scousers. I've played pokies with aussies on schnitzel night. I've smoked hookah in a dubai bar with arabs that were definitely not drinking. Doing normal stuff with normal people is kinda fun
While I agree with you it all depends on what stuff you're interested in. Also who in their right mind wants to go to NYC or any other big American city?
And also European culture, yeah buddy show me something comparable to pic rel in the US.
I'm not in the LDS anymore, but look at this beauty.
Yeah doesn't look bad but I was referring to culture, the Kölner Dom is 600 years older and Catholicism had way more influence in Europe than the Mormons in the US.
paris and NYC is on par for smell, ny just has shittier night life with the possibility of being stabbed/shot and the drivers arent as bad
That's Köln/Cologne, Germany. I'm really not an expert because I've mostly traveled Europe so far but the most interesting city I've been in here was Berlin. Might go to Rome some day, the buildings even in some shitty side streets are awesome.
I have a friend that's one of those people that idolizes him and I can't stand it. I always tell him that you could have offered Bourdain a wienerroach covered in literal shit and tell him it was made by an Indian street vendor and he would slurp it down and talk about how incredible this country and it's people and food are for 10 minutes. He always gets pissy lol
One of my friends has a photo of Bourdain as his phone wallpaper lol
He's Muslim and has a gf
why the frick would i pay $28 for a pork chop
>Muh service industry empathy
god I hate homosexuals like this. I had a hairdresser once who said she went into hairdressing to "help" people. Fricking bullshit. Try social work, or nursing, or literally any clinical profession. Having an autist punch you in the face while you attempt to give him vital treatment. Getting chewed out by minorities because their lack of gibs is your fault. Working night shifts at the hospital. And then doing it all over again tomorrow. That's real empathy, not this vapid service industry providing absolutely nothing essential for people.
This is cope. If you went to a hairdresser, that means they assisted you in some way with a task that needed completion.
Sperg take. I won't die if my hair grows long.
it's also dumb of him to say that since it's his entire world, yeah i bet a lifelong firefighter would be pretty positively biased towards how great firefighters are
There's a ton of soulless israelites who only care about money that are in clinical professions, who'd happily pass you by to do paperwork, while you sit in your wheelchair with an open catheter. Kind souls are welcome in any profession that involves dealing directly with other people and immediately make it better, including someone painstakingly making sure you leave the hairdressing salon with the best hair they could give you
Ahhh yes, the rich, vibrant cities of Europe. Americans will NEVER know this level of culture
Ah yes, the romantic city with its iconic cablecars where there's peace and happiness just like in the 70s
Someone explain to me why the hate for Bourdain? Is it because he had a traveling food tv show at the end of his career?
The man was a legitimate chef who climbed up the ranks starting from the bottom. He was a food and booze critic but unlike many others, actually had the chops to judge and had great takes. He single handedly brought the Blackni back into fashion and made oysters look humble and delicious instead of bougie food the rich love to hate.
So I gotta know; what did this man do that was so offensive you you spergs?
Blackpilled incels are extremely mad at people who have fun and can enjoy life with all of it's flaws
he didn't seem have fun and enjoy being a cuck
ACK
I mean, who isn't hated here? it's all just celeb gossip and seethe
He had the appearance of a pseud, it's very easy for non-pseuds to sniff out a patronizing fake like Bourdain. He acted like he was "a man of the people" but it was clear he was of a different class treating normal people like he was going to the zoo to look at some weird animals. Just a really patronizing personality, which is clearly part of the reason he disliked Guy Fieri so much because Fieri was able to actually connect with the working class instead of looking down on them (or at least he gives the appearance that he does).
> He had the appearance of a pseud, it's very easy for non-pseuds to sniff out a patronizing fake like Bourdain
If you're a complete fricking idiot and only judge him on his travel tv show, I can see how you'd come to that conclusion.
The guy battled heroin addiction in NYC while working in F&B for 20 something years. That's not a pseud, that's a blue collar salt of the earth man. His experience is what made him suited for that show. Your ignorance is the only thing that makes him seem patronizing.
>Bourdain
>blue collar salt of the earth man
Is this bait?
Only if you want to dismiss the first 40 years of the mans life.
Bourdain grew up in a privileged household vacationing in France and going to fancy prepschools. He was not a man of the people in any way, shape, or form.
He was an Anti-White bougie New York mamzer who actively hated his audience
Every time I tell women that I don't care to travel, they look at me like I just kicked their dog. Good thing I am white and attractive so they don't mind until they find out I won't actually take them anywhere.
I thought women being massively into travelling was just an exaggeration until I tried to get into dating again after a long term relationship. Holy shit, every woman went on and on about travelling like it was some transcendental experience despite all going to the same places and doing the same basic shit. I don't know how companies did it but they psy-op'd an entire gender into throwing away tens of thousands at their peak into into meaningless excursions that they barely remember outside of photos that no one else wants to look at.
I love to travel and I’m a man but I don’t understand the specific fascination when it comes to women. Honestly Bourdain’s shows did give me a perspective but even before that I watched people like Rick Steves and Samantha Brown going around. I think social media is to blame. I don’t think many people after 2006 and access to smart phones were traveling to counties like Vietnam or other places in mass. Women would have been too moronic to know how to get around.
People who travel are honestly an instant red flag to me. I've never been outside America and I don't need to. Other countries are corrupt, godless and actively make a person more evil just by being there.
I disagree but I also think that people who think being eternally broke so they can "experience the world" are stupid and impractical.
That kind of "people" are just women who want an excuse to prostitute around in foreign countries and run away from their responsabilities
You are afraid to leave America and make excuses for it, America is not a fun or cool country. You literally can't even walk around.
Why would I want to walk around?
It's over for you, you will die a fat virgin
and you will die a schizo virgin
No, I don't want to be transformed into an agent of Satan.
Look at Bourdain, he was basically the devil's acolyte by the end of his life.
>You literally can't even walk around.
I go on long walks almost daily because I don't live in a shithole city. I'm surrounded by beautiful nature and restaurants from all different walks of life created by people that actually are from the country this food comes from.
what is it with calling everything a phobia when people don't like something?
>i don't like dogshit
>you're just a dogshitphobe, put it in your mouth
how about i just know its not good and i don't need to learn more about it to make sure i don't like it
America is so fricking bad if you defend it you are delusional, this is why refusing to leave America is a phobia. Sure, America is great if you want to spend a lot of money to sit inside, other places will uplift you simply by looking at the scenery though.
>The US has no scenery
It's time to stop posting
US cities have no scenery, US towns ruin the scenery by putting up highways and strip malls with no regard to aesthetics. Sure the USA has some great nature, but those aren't the places people live and all of the national parks are corporatized, cost money to get in, you need to drive 45 minutes to get there, overcrowded.
Europe and Asia manage to build their towns and cities based on aesthetics, staying in towns and cities there is an uplifting experience while the only towns in America that are actually nice are the ones that are sooooo out of the way like in the rural rockies
European cities are the same as US cities except with different scenery and fewer Black folk, you're just delusional. Also they're trying real hard to change the "fewer Black folk" part.
No where is as bad as US cities and you're delusional for thinking that anywhere is. This is specifically why I said Americans need to travel more, they don't know how bad they have it.
you're obsessed with the US. it's simply not worth it to go to europe to see similar american-influenced megacities when any American can travel 90min outside of a city an have a perfectly fine experience.
For the third time, I live in the US. Yes it is worth it, try it.
>travel 90min outside of a city
And see what? Some ugly strip mall suburb highway stop? The USA has fricked up ass infrastructure through and through
I've traveled before. You're not special because of it. But if you can't find nice areas around where you live, that's a personal problem. You either live in a shit area in which case you should spend resources on fixing that, OR you've made traveling such a large part of your identity that you can't enjoy your own area.
I went on a long drive this weekend on the mid-Atlantic and enjoyed myself and found a lot of nice areas to stop and even live if I was inclined.
I'm saying literally the opposite of "I'm special for travelling" I'm saying all Americans should travel outside of America because the infrastructure is better in other places and maybe if Americans had perspective on that they'd desire less repetitive suburbs and highways and more actual uplifting infrastructure.
>because the infrastructure is better in other places
The infrastructure in America makes the whole country depressing
I noticed this recently as a Europoor. The vibe of America is crumbling concrete with weeds poking through.
Sure my shithole city looks terrible but we don't chant how we're number 1
>Americans should travel because....we spend too little on infrastructure.
Are you autistic? Nobody's denying that our infrastructure needs updating but you're linking this to travel and it just makes you sound like a 20 year old moron
>American towns are all the same
This is wrong. You need to travel more ironically.
Infrastructure is everything that makes up the city, experiencing a place like Tokyo or Prague with incredible, all encompassing good urban design and infrastructure is a very fun experience. It's more than just the buildings being better, which they are, the neighborhoods are better, more to do, more to see, better looking. Tokyo is filled with shrines that all have free live performances, Tokyo has neighborhoods like the Tokyo Dome city that has roller coasters and water slides right in the middle of the city, a train ride from the beach a train ride from the mountains, no where in America is like that.
i kind of feel bad for you because you can't have fun unless you're spending money to leave where you pend 90% of your time. like wtf do you do on the weekends when you're not traveling? just sit inside and count pennies before your next trip to a tourist attraction in another country? i guess shitpost on Cinemaphile
I only stay in parts of the US I like but I'm going to school so I can teach english in Asia
>teach english in Asia

You don’t need to go to school for that anon, unless you just mean Uni
>Americans should travel outside of America because the infrastructure is better in other places and maybe if Americans had perspective on that they'd desire less repetitive suburbs and highways and more actual uplifting infrastructure.
Do you think the people who plan infrastructure are unable to travel outside of America? Or lack of exposure to other methods of infrastructure are what's limiting us? Do you think city planners don't have access to the internet?
I'm just saying man, American towns are like all the same shitty, unwalkable, concrete, car filled, no architecture shit
>I'm saying all Americans should travel outside of America because the infrastructure is better in other places
Is this the best argument you can make for travelling? Christ
Yes, American urban design is incredibly moronic, being places less inherently moronic is fun. Not to mention all the other problems America has, most of which are maintained by the shitty urban design and infrastructure.
>fricking moron thinks the worst part of america is stripmalls
confirmed redditor pretending to be foriegn or foreign moron whos never been in the US more than a week
Oh they're definitely not the worst, but the fact that the ugly fricking strip malls are better than anything is a testament to how shitty American infrastructure is.
>US
>go into bankruptcy from an ambulancel ride to the hospital
>Mexico city
>bleed to death in the ambulance getting stuck in traffic, for free
I did not at any point say Mexico was better than the USA, I said Tokyo, Singapore, Dubai and most of Europe is. China and Malaysia are too.
>ACKTUALLY I said places that suck ass to actually live in for more than a week outside of a mariott than they literally have higher suicide rates than slaves in the antebellum south
Everywhere in America sucks to live in unless you enjoy never going outside.
>dubai
>better infrastructure
>doesnt have running sewage
Dubai bathrooms make US ones look really gross in comparison
We didn't visit the same places
>said bathrooms in a multi billion dollar development hooked to a septic tank like bubbas trailer 80 miles away from any water treatment plant
>unending amerishart cope
>"its better infrastructure"
>"they literally cant even properly manage shit"
>"cope"
have you lived in any of these places yourself? america sucks but again, if you're actually an american living in any of thee places will be significantly worse outside of a brief holiday
Nah but I've travelled for like 3 months to some of these places, wageslaving anywhere probably sucks yeah, but these places do have better things than America for sure.
Admitting the US lives rent free in your head is the first step to getting better
Again, I am American, I have been to every single state, Tokyo mogs the frick out of Any American city, hell, Bangkok is nicer than Chicago. European cities also have infinite, ingrained, unique aesthetic qualities than American cities don't have, not to mention basically every developed country has cities that are simply more convenient to get around than the USA. I don't hate the US, but the only places I like are very small and obscure towns.
>image google chicago slums
>image google bangkok slums
lmao stfu homosexual
tokyo is a nice city but none of this matters since you're not Japanese and when you visit you're just enjoying things you'd do in America with the downside of being a foreigner. What are you left with, an understanding that it's a better city and seething on Cinemaphile? I knew Toyko was nice and I've never been.
It's fun
Bangkok is way more fun than Tokyo
Why tho?
Bangkok is more fun than Chicago*
Because you're intimidated by big cities. You will never make any progress in your life if you dont leave the safety of small towns
How do you figure? I keep talking about how nice Tokyo is and it's the biggest city in the world. American cities just all suck ass.
I'm really American and I've been to all of America, I can't think of a single good city.
Stay on your computer consuming literal brainwash content then kek
>I'm really American and I've been to all of America, I can't think of a single good city.
ok chang
Sounds like you're just autistic
Ok dude. I've been to bangkok too and you're asses to elbows in a sea of humanity 24/7 breathing exhaust from 2 cycle tuk tuks and fighting off everyone who wants into your wallet. Calling it "better" because it's on another continent simply isn't honest
If you really are American (which I'm beginning to doubt) it's pretty clear you have some weird complex about America. You talk about the "infinite, ingrained, unique aesthetic qualities", but that's clearly not something that a lot of other people find lacking in American cities. It's just you being obsessed with things that aren't American. You're a weeb for everywhere outside America.
it's called being an xenophile. I went to college for international affairs, I met a lot of people like him. They live of daddy's money or credit cards and are always planning their next trip but don't own bedroom furniture. They plan trips to various central business districts/tourism spots but never understand anything beyond the recent history of all of these locations and think they're smarter than their cousins who buy homes and have children.
Chicago is one of the greatest cities I’ve visited, granted I’ve never been to the shitty areas. Brilliant architecture, good food and people, some of the best museums in the world. But really I wouldn’t rate most of the US cities I’ve been to in my top five and I’ve been to most of a lot of them. Hong Kong and Tokyo are some best cities I’ve ever been to. Being more of ethnostates has a lot to do with it
I can't really speak for the US but from all I've seen you have stunning and diverse landscapes everywhere. Main problem might be that a large amount of those areas is private property.
And living in a city in Europe isn't that romantic for the most part either, you may not have as much problems as in the US but it's still not great. At least you can walk anywhere and public transportation is halfway usable I guess.
>you have stunning and diverse landscapes everywhere
not in the entire middle of the country. And even the beautiful places like WV have fricked up ass infrastructure
There are more than enough interesting areas there, I'm pretty sure. It's definitely not for everyone but some people love the calm and empty spaces, pic rel is Nebraska.
I can drive literally 10 minutes and go to multiple different public nature trails that are free to get in to, clean, and never noisy. But go on.
Yeah yeah drive 10 minutes through generic, depressing suburbs
>Is that the same house again? I'm suicidal now.
kek and the thing is that Japan and every other country has repetitive styles. He just hates his mom and dad so much so he seethes at anything that reminds him of his home. You can tell this poster is very immature
No I drive by nice forests and well-made buildings. I live in a very eclectic place. Obviously you don't. That's sad.
i'm not afraid to hop on a plane and explore somewhere else. i just don't want to. i don't see the worth in doing so. i do enjoy reading about other places a lot, i just don't see what benefit it is to anybody that i go take time out of my regular duties to go exploring for nothing other than the 'experience.' why keep calling it a fear?
You will see things you didn't read about, you could read a hundred books about a place and when you go there you will randomly stumble upon things you didn't know existed
>You will see things you didn't read about
Oh yeah I'm definitely a israeli shill for telling you to go outside and experience things. The israelites want to take your mass media computer machine away!
>Oh yeah I'm definitely a israeli shill for telling you to spend $4k on a shitty vacation. The israelites want you to spend money on stupid shit like plane tickets, hotel rooms, overpriced souvenir junk and food!

He was a liberal elitist who hated white people and now he's burning in hell.
what a pathetic conversation
air traveling should be unaffordable to the average person
TeT
I went to Europe in 2018 and was going to go on another trip this year but decided not to. I'd rather buy nice things that last. Travel is kind of a waste of money. I'd rather buy new furniture and a car than waste 3 weeks and 4k.
Alternatively, you can rent a car for 2 days for 100 bucks and travel around your region for way cheaper and see new things, eat regional food and go to museums etc if you're an American.
He will be missed
I come across an interesting if not infamous website, seemingly as old as the internet itself yet never truly explored by the average mind.
*grabs a live chicken and bites its head off*
As I was saying, my journey for fame, fortune, and food has brought me to Cinemaphile; known to some as the true birthplace of the modern internet. Specifically I find myself on Cinemaphile, a den of the absurd, the dying, the reborn, and the contrarian; dedicated to the "discussion" of all that takes place in front of a camera lens.
*kills the last animal of an endangered species*
I see Aiden Gillen, a close friend of mine who has become a peculiar case; blossomed into somewhat of an ironic god for the ever sarcastic masses of Cinemaphile. A simple phrase from his opening lines in "The Dark Knight Rises" immortalizes him in the memetic dreams of Cinemaphile. Not long after, I encounter a scantily clad prepubescent girl who makes some vulgar sexually suggestive approaches towards me -- likely the work of the less reputable men who lurk in the shadows of Cinemaphile. A fight breaks out nearby, two overweight men with poor hygiene fighting over the sexual history of a B list actress. I smell the pungent aroma of passed gas; it smells good. It smells like beautiful disgusting chaos. I'm starting to feel at home here.
*shoots a doe in mid birth and uses its umbilical cord to strangle the barely newborn fawn*
I ask the locals for their opinions of my own work on television and it doesn't bode well for me, I'm called a pretentious homosexual and told to kill myself. The lingering insecurity of my sexual past flares up like a gazelle blown apart by a stick of dynamite, and I leave to ponder about my experiences with Cinemaphile...and of course...find something to eat.
*drags the corpse of a homeless man into a nearby kitchen*
Do normies realize Japan is so great because its an ethnically homogeneous country? Its funny how americans think they "beat" japs in the war, when now their whole country is basically a third world shithole filled with poor mexicans and savage blacks
>Do normies realize Japan is so great because its an ethnically homogeneous country?
They never even start to consider why Japan is so great. To them it just is and no further thought is necessary.
>traveling is israeli!
>not traveling is israeli!
What a fricking moronic thread. Just kill it already
Why do incels hate travelling so much?
I don't hate it. In fact its fun if you actually go to a cool country like South Africa and you see big white sharks and lions
But people who think travelling makes them cool/interesting are morons. Its a consumer product at best, just like iPhones
Think about the website you’re posting on this question on.
it's been a relationship requirement for some time now. at the very least once a year, and somewhere nice, preferrably outside your home country.
im simply not doing it, massive waste of money and roi is almost nonexistent unless you're a coping dimwit. those funds can go to much better uses like mortgage/emergency fund/future children tuition fund/etc. In the US there's so many different biomes and natural beauty that international travel is simply to waste money so you can feel rich.
>im simply not doing it
Getting in a relationship? We know
I'm a Hispanic. How do I become an amerifriend citizen? My english is pretty good and I look like a younger, slimmer Tony Soprano
My country is a shithole ran by corrupt politicians and crime is getting more and more extreme with each day. I just want to run away and be safe
In terms of being a citizen just take the tests and stuff, move to a cheaper state and don’t live in some purely gentrified place, which is one of the harder parts. If you mean friendly with most Americans I would say that most of us are more friendly than the media portrays. Plus you seem to write at least good English, how well do you speak it?
>get a visa
>buy a plane ticket
>overstay your visa
>make sure a Democrat is president when you do this
Done, that's how most of them do it. Go an marry an American woman (or man if you're a chick) and you'll be home free. Don't be one of those saps who walks to the American border and has to pay the cartel a lot of money, your safety isn't guaranteed that way.
you don't stay out

The guy that had multiple series on broadcast television shows from the mid 2000s to the day of us death which featured famous celebrities?
>I traveled to a Muslim dessert shithole to...use the bathrooms and brag about them online
do travelcells really?
I kneel. Maybe spend the money on a down-payment for a home and finish the bathroom like a saudi oil barron and you know...actually own something?
>whoa bro just live in rural nebraska so you can own plastic goyslop products
you're so mindfricked. you're really bragging about some shitty saudi hotel bathroom and I'm telling you that you can own some gaudy bathroom if you like it so much but the thought of it is like poison to your consoomer mind. fricked up
>paying rent (taxes) on that thing you "own"
Yeah, if you're redpilled you know that only taking about movies on Cinemaphile is an honest personality trait.
there is no bigger waste of money than traveling. my fricking gf wont stop hounding me to go on a trip. we have a house, I'd much rather spend the money on my home and just stay here away from people. to me, traveling is like pissing your money right down the drain, you gain nothing from it except pictures and jet lag and you wind up right back at home anyway. frick traveling
You either barely scrape by or you travel like a scrub. I've traveled in foreign countries 4 weeks at a time and the total bill there and back and the whole stay/backpacking was $2400. I'm not a 'oh i like traveling' instaprostitute so I don't do it often but it's not expensive to travel if you do your research and get deals going.
you have the right idea. but did you buy a house with a woman who's not your wife? that'd be moronic if true.
>projection
What do you do with your weekends? nothing because you have to save pennies to splurge for the 6 bed hostel room in Bangkok. hopefully there's a girl this time so you can see her change!
>projection accuser is projecting
literally havent been to a country that isnt neighboring the US or is a US territory
>american cities are shitty because they're filled with shitskins
>no! european cities are shitty because they're filled with shitskins!
What is the point of this argument
I wonder if there was ever a time in history when dense (relative to its respective time period) urban areas were at all pleasant places to be.
Pre-industrial western cities were pretty comfy. They might’ve smelled a bit like shit and clean water and food was more of an issue, but like any time if you had the appropriate wealth you didn’t deal much with that.
>traveling is le bad because bourgeois liberals do it for instagram clout
Yes, those people are insufferable. But to write off travel entirely is 90 iq hick thinking, who would scrutinize any beer that's not budweiser, and think wine is for gay people. Nothing wrong with those earthy people but they are not cultured, and culture can best be taken in by reading world literature and then visiting those places you read about to absorb the ethos of the place.
Going to bangkok or buenos aires is infinitely more interesting than what most Americans do - Florida, west indies, or some nearby lake you go to every summer.
>Going to bangkok or buenos aires is infinitely more interesting than what most Americans do - Florida, west indies, or some nearby lake you go to every summer.
Why? If you're from bangkok or australia or something then that's a common destination and going to Florida or some lake in Michigan would be the foreign trip. It's all relative.
If you go to the lake and have a crazy fishing trip with friends and family that can be more rewarding than going to buenos aires and sitting in a club every day.
Mark Twain believed it was.
Since we are on the topic of NY, Ive lived here all my life (33 now) and I have never seen this city in such a bad state. Criminals let go immediately with a slap on the wrist, illegal immigrants pouring in by the thousands every day, prices of everything is going through the roof, its an absolute shithole. My sister was punched in the head by a random black man in manhattan last week, there was nothing she could do but take it and move on, she didnt bother calling the police because theyre useless.
Don't worry Adams will win by 70% when he's up. It literally doesn't matter how bad it gets.
NTA but I follow NYC politics because I used to live there. The worst thing about this was that Adams was the most pro-police, anti-crime candidate that was viable. The guys who competed with him and who will compete with him again in the future are even worse.
Why would you stay there? I genuinely don't get it. I lived in DC for years and left after 2020 because I'm not moronic. I don't get complaining and just staying, if my sister was punched in the head by a random guy I'd be in prison for murdering homeless people the next night. Cuck.
your cuck personality means you will stay in NYC for eternity, good luck.
Recently some Koreans got attacked by some black kids on a New York subway and it’s so funny to see people in general and especially on Reddit rip toe around the obvious if you know what I mean
You mean the baby faced teens?
I’m not the smartest guy in the world but I know to reel myself back in situations in real life where this sort of thing gets brought up. Especially as a white guy living in Korea. You can probably imagine the sort of person that travels to a different country to work in Asia is pretty liberal, I am not. My ex Korean girlfriend brought up Asian hate and I either didn’t want to have an argument, was smart enough when to shut my mouth, or too much of a pussy to bring up the notion that it seems to be that a lot of the Asian hate is perpetuated by a certain group of people. Same around co workers.
if you point out anything obvious about blacks annoying the shit out of people you'll get down voted to oblivion.
ITT: fat american mutts seething
America is a land of mass consumerism, greed, and envy. It's the great satan and a shadow of its former self. Its vast nature is being spoiled by those who inhabit it. It has no culture except for Black person worship, nationalism is dead because republicans would rather give money to Israel and Ukraine while Democrats want to castrate your children. When you defend America, you defend the right to be a proud goy.
All true but the rest of the world is deeply infected with the same thing. Why go there to get the same thing + moronic accents?
