I don't know a better place to ask this question, so here goes. The Blue zones of the world Okinawa japan Sardinia Italy Icaria Greece Ect Are regularly studied regarding what they eat and what they do for a living. But I can't find anything documenting their hygine habits online anywhere.. I figure it'd be interesting to know how much these people bathe, what soaps they use if any.. toothpaste, shampoo, if it's common in those areas to clean your pooper with water rather than toilet paper. If they use mouthwash or any other products big companies want us to buy to improve our health

Hi /trv/ Any advice on vacationing in New Zealand? I've never been and its been surprisingly hard to google. What are the good cities to stay in? Places to visit? things to do? I enjoy wildlife watching, hiking, swimming, kayaking, hanging out on beaches etc

Kiwi here. You will definitely want to check out Kaikoura, which is in the South Island. Amazing little town with so much to do. The biggest city in the South Island is Christchurch and it's a shit hole. Spend as little time there as possible.

How do you regard travelling as? Is it just "go to a country", or is it something more in depth? I definitely think there's a difference with just visiting and actually travelling. Visiting is something to see the sights and have a good time, which of course you can also do while travelling. But I think real travelling requires you to at least acknowledge, if not appreciate and enjoy the different culture, history, and language of the region/country. Travelling is something to experience the world, not just see it. Well, what do you think of travelling?

That's what I think.

Anyway, there is no One True Way, travel is done right if you get out of it what you wanted to get out of it. WHAT you want to get out of it is up to you.

Me and a friend wants to travel to America and roadtrip around for about a month. What's a good estimate to rent a decent car to drive about with for a month? Including extra mile cost and gasoline. Is $2000 a decent estimate, and would it perhaps be cheaper to buy a used car, and then sell it upon return?

You can check car rental prices on most travel sites. Rental cars typically come with unlimited mileage. Average cost per gallon of gas in US is between $2.00 - $2.50. A small car should get around 30 to 40 miles per gallon. Figure out your route and do the math.

Is there any country or city that you regret visiting?

Quoted By:
Not really. I've been to several dozen countries. While there were places I enjoyed significantly more than others, I don't think I have any major regrets or complaints. I was incredibly disappointed by Athens - it was such a filthy and rotten city, and that's coming from somebody who's enjoyed a lot of countries less developed than Greece. But I wouldn't "take back" that excursion if I could. Likewise, while Iceland was beautiful, I don't view it as being a very memorable place. Again, though, I'm happy I went and still have lots of good memories of hitchhiking, making new friends, and seeing a unique place.

I've never travelled outside the U.S. and am trying to plan a trip (45-60 days long or so) to SEA. Internet tells me Thailand would be the best/most forgiving for a newfag like me. I want to do a side trip to at least one other country (Cambodia? Laos? Vietnam?) I understand that this overland side trip will "re-set" my 30 day visa for Thailand. If I buy a round trip ticket out of Thailand with say 60 days between entry/exit will I be ok? Do I need to buy a return ticket within that 30 day window and then try and cancel it once I get there? Why is the Thai website so unclear/shitty on this issue? I thought thousands of young people go there every year? What do I do?

Because they are barbarians with arbitrary enforcement of written laws and plenty of extralegal activity. Wear a nice, clean shirt, try not to have dreadlocks or an unkempt beard. It's likely they won't ask for onward destination. If they do, claim that you intend to get a bus to Cambodia or Malaysia on such and such a date. Unsure about the second visa free period, it seems to be a tossup, or depend on whether the border guard has indigestion or not. Barbarians, like I said.

I'm just afraid of getting burned for the cost of one way ticket...

>>1046575 Worst case scenario, you land, and have to bum around awhile in the international zone of the airport waiting for a one hour flight to Malaysia or Cambodia. A hundred dollars or two. So I assume, at least.
Japan has that same policy, and all it took was a flight number and a claim I intended to take that flight. Not even a false booking, and that's a civilised country. That said, precautions don't hurt. A flight number, a date, a false claim. But most of all, a clean shirt.

Nevertheless, I don't know enough about this guy to hate or appreciate. In all likelihood he's a pretty chill, successful dude who's getting to do what a lot of us are only starting. Note: I guess he took most of his trips over five-week annual vacations. That means he must have been hopping around quite a bit! I certainly wouldn't want to do that but good for him if he's enjoying it

Fellow /trv/lers. I'm experiencing the strangest feels. A couple of months ago I bought tickets to Malaysia on a whim, cos it looked like a good place to visit, cheap too, with great food etc. Booked and paid for hotels and everything. I didn't do any in-depth research like I usually do before buying tickets. Now, the two-week visit is looming closer and closer, and I don't know, I'm getting cold feet for the reasons unknown. I'm not looking forward going. I should be happy and excited, but am not. I feel like I don't want to go at all, but I cannot get refunds on tickets & hotels. Has anyone else experienced something similar? And how much did I fuck up when I bought the tickets to KL in the first place? Motivational thread, I guess... Or demotivational.

>>1046471 Malaysian food is good. Personally my favorite SE Asian country food-wise because of the variety and accessibility. I always enjoy trying new foods traveling but Malaysia was one of the only places I was really excited about it.
How long are you staying for? If you're there for more than a few days it might be worth considering just losing your hotel deposits and travelling to a more interesting part of the country. It wouldn't cost that much more, domestic travel is cheap as fuck (I once paid $14 for a flight) and you can get cheap guesthouses in most places.

Dont worry, KL is an interesting place, and if you add some sorroundings, you can easily spend more than a week there without getting bored. Its been a while since I have been there, so I dont remember the exact names, but maybe those hints help: -Some caves outside the city, reachable by commuter train (Batu caves?) -Some Forrest research thing, I think close to the caves. They have a little treetop walk. Nothing special, but if you like trees, really worth a visit, plus trains are really cheap. -The government town outside of the city/Cyberjaya. 100% artificial town for the government. Very weird, but very worth seeing. But tours might even be free. -Georgetown is nice! -Food courts! -electronics shopping. Theres a few places in the city, where you have complete malls full of one electronics shop next to the other, with lots of stuff you wont find in the west -Flying is indeed cheap, and if you pick AirAsia or something also quite safe, so add Singapore to your list! -Christmas madness. You might be travelling in the christmas season!? Totally over the top decorations. Especially in Singapore, but KL is also weird. (pic related. A Kaspersky christmas tree in KL) If anything of those things interest you, just ask, I probably could find the proper names and locations.

>>1046490 >Instant greem card. Green cards for spouses are nowhere near instant--the process takes five or six years from end to end. But they are pretty much guaranteed if you're really married to someone.
>>1046441 >Money wise how much would such a place cost? Varies quite a bit, but a quick search I just did came up with prices (for developed, working farms) of between $2500-$4000 per acre, so they start around $1.5 million, with some big ranches going for $5 or $6M (presumably less livestock; cattle appear to start around $200/head at local auctions, which is lower than I expected).
These ranches may be on the high end--the site I was browsing seems to offer a lot of land for rich folks' hunting lodges, etc. But productive, good-looking land isn't that cheap.

To move to America you ether need millions to come as a investor, a really good job so you can get a H1B or a wedding so you can get a spousal visa. If you really want to live somewhere like that, maybe try Canada. If you're under 30 it's really easy to come here for work, and then as long as you can keep your job you'll bet in eventually. Cariboo region of BC is a lot like that video: Deer, Bear, fields, mountains. An acre is anywhere from 2000-10000.
