Travelling

[Tsukkin]

If you can travel anywhere in the world without having to worry about money, language barrier, human trafficking and etc. Where would you go?

For me I would definitely go back to Japan or maybe visit the Philippines. I've been to Japan and it was an amazing experience and would definitely do it again.

Egypt, Bolivia, Japan, New Zealand, Ireland

Now that I think about it, i very likely used up a lot of my luck there. The SUV thing we rented didnt get a scratch for the entire week long stay.

hmm congrats?

Yeah! I need ideas on what to do outside Las Vegas, LA, devouring @Nommy and the Grand Canyon, since I intend to hire a car and make it a ROAD TRIP! My sister, whose recently returned from a US trip said San Francisco is "Like Sydney and Melbourne, so you don't need to go there because you can experience it here" so its off my West Coast list. She surprisingly (for herself, because she thought she'd hate it) liked Vegas, so its settled on my list of places to go since everyone I've known whose gone there has enjoyed it.

If you have the money, they have lots of attractions and places for you to spend it. Just stick to the main streets, I here it gets kind of rough once you get deeper into the city and away from the main strip.

Oregon and Washington are kind of boring unless you like hiking, hunting, fishing, camping, or getting down and dirty. There also a few skiing resorts along the cascades, that operate during the winter. You'll be able to find many of small waterfalls along the cascades with more then a few scenic views, but a lot of it has been mared by large scale forest fires, logging or both. The coast line has places for whale watching and there is always the ever present sealions. More scenic views and hiking trails to persue. Places to go crabbing or digging for clams(if in season) More places to fish the coastal rivers, or charter a boat for deep sea fishing. Along the southern coast of Oregon is the Oregon sand dunes. You can rent quads, side by sides, and dunebuggies to run around and get sand in every orifice xD.

The biggest cities are Portland and Seattle, but I'm more of a back to nature kind of guy so dont really spend time there. Family members do say Seattle has a decent fish market, and there are many interesting restaurants to choose from. Portland is just a lesser version in comparison, but im told it still has it's own charms. *shrug* There are also lots of golf courses if you're into that, and I do mean alot, there is one practically everywhere you go...

O.O

Hmm... that's a wall of text I didnt know I had in me....

Seattle > Portland. The Saturday Market there does have its own charm, but the city as a whole has too many buildings closing due to out of control prices and too many homeless on the street. The homeless are mainly those who are on disability. The minimum rent in the area is above the maximum income afforded by the government for disabled people. When walking around I had everything from a hobo trying to punch me while muttering to himself to meeting one with only a single full limb who we gave the dollar he asked to get water inside the store he was standing right outside of and the rest of our donuts (not requested but thanked for). I didn’t really consider it charming. Never ever walk through Chinatown alone, it had the most closed buildings and homeless population.

It's a distinct possibility, I wouldnt really know though. Coffee does unfortunate things to me, so I avoid it like the plague.

Btw, happy to see you owning up to your habits xD

You share my pain, coffee does bad things to me. I can drink it if I’m careful and on no accounts combine caffeine and alcohol.

I've lived on two and traveled in a third (Alaska is big enough to be it's own continent, right?) Honestly would like to visit Australia and Asia, for the sites and culture.

I think alaska is big enough to be its own continent. Is it sad I’ve only been to one or two cities there? Did you visit summer or winter?





To conversation in general: I’ve never been outside of America ( ) but I’ve been around quite a bit of it... except Vegas. All my hopeful trips there get cancelled. It must not be my fate. QwQ

Yeah Portland has a bad homeless issue to. Wasnt all that impressed when I brought the gf over for a month. We went up to Portland for a few days and walked around... nothing happened but still really regret it... oops take that back, lol.... there was a shooting a few blocks away from the hotel we were stay at. Didnt find out till later what the sirens were about x.x

you got me beat, I dont even have to drink the stuff, even just swishing it I'm my mouth will give me hard stomic cramps and sends me to the restroom for hours....

Been there twice, first time was in winter and stayed in Anchorage, for a week.The second trip we went down the Kenai peninsula in the summer for fishing.

I highly recommend it, if only to see how other cultures view us. It really is eye opening. And a shitton of fun(when you're not dodging traffic). xD

Don't worry, I'll drag you there when I come!~ Kicking and screaming. It'll be like a real kidnapping, ne?

Nah nah... you gotta first find me, then capture me

I'd love to start in China on the Lancong-Mekong river and float south visiting every country it touches. Park the boat on one of the ports in the river and explore the country for a couple days/weeks and then return to float to the next country.
