US Summer time..

[Pittsey]

You gotta see India. I have just seen the civilized, urban parts. I wanna go to the parts where niggas be shitting on the streets and shit. Just won't shower for a few days and I'll fit right in. So long as I don't talk.

Visit the slums of Mumbai. People live within rubbish dumps. Shit in the street where they sleep. It's probably the worst quality of life there is left on Earth. 10,000 people per toilet.


I love visiting East Asia. I want to go to Japan. I could eat Sushi and Noodles all day long. Vietnam is my favourite place so far.

Yeah India is a little further on my list but definitely a place to see too. I'd like to check the poorer places just to experience that with my own eyes. Usually when you see things on TV, or when you read about stuff that's nothing compared to seeing something by yourself, no matter how cliche that sounds.
Even if you're into reading about places, and watching travel videos, I have a feeling that the more you do that the more broken your vision of the world becomes, because actually experiencing a place feels totally different. You can read about a few chosen aspects of a culture that they want underlined, while being there for an hour you're already getting thousands that you'd never know without living there.
Personally I love places I would've never even liked if I just saw them on TV or the internet, and I don't like some places I had been dying to see before I finally saw them. Most places I love would be totally random to any friend of mine, no matter how precisely I tried to explain why they're so awesome to me. Only people who were with me understand, and it's that kind of isolating aspect of having travel experience.

I guess basically any place in the world would be on my bucket list, maybe except of Somalia at this point. And some places in the middle east. I'm not a fan of those. It's true that I've already been to places I really wanted to go to super much, my next travels are going to be just for the sake of travelling, seeing the world and meeting people in different regions of the world, experiencing the unexpected, new, awesome moments. That sounds cliche again, but there's nothing that makes me grow as much as a person as meeting people in a new place and experiencing it with them from their perspective. Those are some of the best experiences a person can have in his life, I believe.
I never understood those guys who cross the world staying in expensive hotels, totally separating themselves from the place and the whole experience, and actually paying premium for not leaving their own comfort zone. To me that's like going to a new country and staying at the airport.

There's a Polish biddie staying at my house this week. Should be a good time.

Couch Surfing, or a friend of yours?

 

[Pittsey]

I had to google what a biddie is. But... Now I've found out... Tell me more.

 

[Da_Funk]

One of my roommates friends, but he's away for a week on work...

 

[Pittsey]

Is she attractive?

 

[dilla]

Is she attractive?

Well, there's a at the end of it, so.... I'm guessing yes.

 

[Shadows]

sooo many people going to Vegas in Sept, some in Oct. and some in January....but i'll probably visit in January.

 

[dilla]

I went to Vegas..with my parents...back in 2009. During Thanksgiving during my TG break. Wasn't even 21. So I just "enjoyed the shows."

Though we did get to take a chopper into the Grand Canyon. That was a great experience.

 

[Pittsey]

I've done the Grand Canyon Helicopter tour. I went to Vegas and didn't spend a lot of money as I'd miscalculated my finances the previous 2 weeks and was 10k over budget. I ruined the experience really. I'd like to do the Westcoast of the USA, again. Start in Seattle and go down to San Fran, LA and in a touch to Vegas. I did it before, although I started in SanFrancisco.

 

[dilla]

Yeah, it really was an experience. The pictures, the view, everything. And then seeing the canyon from the bottom-up was incredible. And the Native American reservations were interesting.

 

[Pittsey]

I enjoyed it. I wouldn't have wanted to do the horse trek or the drive. It would have taken hours...!

I went away with 3 other people for a month to the USA in 2005. I organised it all. Paid for it and they all gave me the money. Except I realised when I got there, that I'd only paid for the flights and still had all the hotels to pay for. I had spent all the money they'd given me...! lol. So I had a 10k deficit. Which I realised when I got to Vegas. So I became really tight with my money and didn't gamble.

I'm currently in Japan and no other place has impressed me as much, despite coming with high expectations for amazing experience. But I'm biased, and it's a very specific place, the atmosphere is incredible. It's not a place for an average western asshole though, it doesn't deserve that. 99% of Japanese chicks are not fuckable too, unless you're looking for a wife. That and the fact you have to be genuinely polite and respectful to get by and truly get close to the people fortunately rids Japan of the wrong kind of visitors and preserves possibly the best culture we have on earth.

I stayed at a mountain temple/shrine for the night with no money (found out Mastercard doesn't work at ATMs in Japan the hard way) and very basic Japanese. One of the best experiences I had in my life.

 

[dilla]

Mastercard? ATM? I thought ATMs were only Visa or something. Mastercard is a credit card. I guess I don't know too much about banking and all, but I don't think you can withdraw cash using a credit card.

There are somethings Mastercard can't buy. For those things, it's felatiating a Japanese monk for a night's stay in a shrine.

A credit card can withdraw cash. But you can also get debit cards that are "powered" by mastercard, much like Visa do. Visa is generally the most accepted. If you have an AMEX card, it's hardly accepted anywhere outside of the US.

Yeah, outside of the US Mastercard also carry debit cards, they're about as popular as Visa and they're 2 most recognized types of debit cards.

Mastercard decided they're going to charge 3% of payments in foreign currency. Bank of Japan did not agree for such jewish shit and doesn't allow foreign Mastercard cards to be used in Japan until Mastercard gets their shit together. Too bad it's the only country that has done so.

Yeah I don't remember the last place where AmEx was accepted outside of the US, but Visa and Mastercard are generally accepted almost everywhere.

And.. I did not blow anyone. I didn't do anything, didn't even ask. They offered me lots of help, and asked for nothing in return.

 

[S O F I]

lol good to know, i'd be so fucked cause I have mastercard.

I think at some point, I would like to have sex with my wife...so, being fuckable, that would be a plus.

but i feel like your broke polish ass takes "fuckable" to mean something completely else.

The Polish girls here usually are blue-eyed blondes, which I love, but they have big foreheads.

My cleaning lady is Polish. Well, one of them is around my age and she has huge titties and a great ass. And of course she comes in a tank top and yoga pants to clean. Then she brings her old mom and some other old Polish hags, and so that is always a buzzkill.
