What is it like to live in Malaysia? Considering either Kuala Lumpur or Johor Bahru. Mb Kota Kinabalu.

Do people actually speak English like in Singapore or not really?

Also, what is cost of living (esp housing, food, and medical insurance) like? And do I need a car to live there?

I am expecting to spend like USD 1500-2000/mo.

Enjoy negotiating every fucking day over every fucking thing you buy. Need a memory stick? Waste half an hour talking the price down to something sane. Drop it down a sewer and need to get another one the very next day? Enjoy going through the whole fucking negotiation process again.

It's "cute" when you're a tourist and don't need to buy much. It gets really fucking annoying when you're trying to live there for a while.

I went to Bulgaria for about a week with my friends last year. Only city we visited was Sofia, for the rest we mostly went hiking in the Rila and Stara Planina mountains. I'm thinking about going back for another week in February, this time on my own. Give me your recommendations for stuff that I should visit, experiences in the country, etc. I'm interested in the countryside/nature as well as cities and culture. You can also give suggestions for other countries (preferably in the same region) that are cool to visit for about a week.
Pic related, it's in the Stara Planina mts nearby a hut where we couchsurfed.

If you have any doubts about distance, just book several one-nighters at different hotels in different locations.

I literally did that when I was in Taipei, and that place is far smaller and far less complicated than NYC. My only motivation was that I was too lazy to backtrack.

I disagree, traveling alone is such a liberating experience, at least for me. It is nice to have one or two companions to watch your back, but I tend to get tired of people after going everywhere with them for more than a couple days.

well shit I already booked my tickets. I just wanted a tropical place with nice weather and bali seemed to be balance well between nature and city- life not to mention cheap. And also it has a bunch of western tourists so I could atleast socialize with some fellow westerners.

I don't mind traveling with people as long as they are chill, biggest issue I have is when some dipshit gets a stick up their ass because the group didn't want to do X.

Traveling with 1 or 3 other people is fine but when doing more it can easily become a shit show faster than you think

Travelling alone is great.
You don't have to compromise on what to see and what to miss out on seeing.

Also, if you get lonely:
-Buy a local Sim Card with Data.
-Post photos on FB/Twitter/whatever.
-Video-Chat with family / friends.

>big streets through the city center
and this disturbs you? welcome to a city.

>as it was bombed to rubble in ww2
of course it was bombed to ruble, it is one of the industrial centers of Germany, and there was the need for cheap living room. the buildings are nothing special, but I guess OP is not an architecture aficionado like you. If you go through the "big streets" with all the nice and unique shopping possibilities you will have a diffrent picture

>screams i want to be special
now you went full retard, interpreting something in streets.
of course it is special, it has historical resons, not that i would expect you know them.

>judging by the google results
Ahahaha, judiging by pictures the atmosphere, yeah, well done Sherlock.

>big streets through center
while it is common to have some big streets in the city center it is not so common that the city center is basically made of big streets
>nice and unique shopping possibilities
the same brands and stores you find in the pedestrian zone of every other big city, just the builidings are uglier this time? really opened my eyes
>shitty street organization
obviously it has historical reasons, still useless in todays time and nothing to be proud of.
>experiencing the armosphere of eating and preparing food in a dumpster

>no sense for the community
i take that from my visits and the fact that it seems to be a common mannheimer trait to litter

the last big stabbing happened not even three months ago. since then there have been several attacks both with knives and fists. seems like you don't keep up with the news even of your own city.
>gardening is next to impossible
if you read a little further, you would have seen, that gardening is actually possible if you have some fuck change the the destroyed plants often enough

I'm heading to China to complete an intensive short term study in Shanghai in January. If I have classes M-Th will I have enough time to see Shanghai over the 4 weeks?
I've then got an extra 3 weeks for travelling. Anywhere you'd recommend? So far I'm thinking Beijing, Xi'an and Harbin. I'd like to see rural China too, any recommendations of where to go?

There are a fuckton of Mexicans in New York, you don't know what you're talking about

After Ricans and Dominicans, Mexicans are the next biggest group. There are several NYC neighborhoods like Mott Haven, Soundview Sunset Park, Corona, Jackson Heights, Bushwick, Port Richmond, etc. where you see a ton of Mexicans.

Can we get a thread about travel gear? It's going to be my first time leaving the USA, and first time being away from home for an extended period of time as well and i wanna make sure i have the necessary supplies.

I'm mainly curious as to what you guys consider essentials, what you can buy at the destination, what is better to bring from home, maybe things to avoid bringing?

I would assume essentials would be
>basic clothes / undies / socks for each day
>hat / beanie depending on climate
>hygenics (toothbrush, paste, hairbrush)
>phone / charger + maybe a spare
>backpack / bag

Would love to hear your stories or pics of your loadouts, thanks!

Don't put your cash (talking bills not coins) in your front pocket if they are not the kind that are vertical in jeans. I'm talking the kind on shorts where they're at a 45° angle. Got pickpocketed $200 Euro in Greece because I literally had loose pockets. I now keep my cash in my socks. Also don't carry around a lot of cash.

>>1333811
I usually wear tight pants (so tight that it's difficult to put my own hand in the pockets), or pants with zippered pockets.

I do store cash in more than one wallet.

Enough clothes to hike up mountains without feeling cold, a small laptop, and the usual stuff from tooth brush to phone charger.

For me more than enough, except for the coldest of climates (where I dont plan to go anyways).
>>1333829
I dont wear tight pants but the pockets are just right that I need some extra force to get the wallet out. If anyone can pickpocket me like that he deserves the money.
