You could enjoy yourself

2018-01-07 17:36:10 UTC

Taoyuan**

2018-01-07 17:39:30 UTC

Also the taxi from the airport to the market is roughly 600nt$ and takes much less time

2018-01-07 17:39:53 UTC

So you would have enough time

2018-01-07 18:22:58 UTC

Oh and the airport is tiny af. You'll be done by an hour, but if you like to drink, get yourself a Taiwanese Kavalan whisky at the duty free

2018-01-07 18:23:26 UTC

Great whisky, doesn't taste Asian at all

2018-01-08 06:28:22 UTC

Anyone been to Malaysia ? Any suggestions ?

2018-01-08 06:28:34 UTC

2018-01-10 05:32:32 UTC

for the non americans, PBS is a non profit tv station in america and PBS kids is their cartoon segment

2018-01-10 05:32:40 UTC

it's a very specific steal for a restauraunt that sells dumplings

2018-01-10 06:44:09 UTC

I bet they made more money too

2018-01-10 06:44:12 UTC

Whatever works man

2018-01-10 08:55:41 UTC

2018-01-10 08:55:55 UTC

2018-01-10 08:56:39 UTC

2018-01-10 08:56:54 UTC

2018-01-10 11:53:40 UTC

PBS documsntaries are pretty good

2018-01-10 11:53:58 UTC

Watched a 10h documentary on the Vietnam war

2018-01-10 11:54:05 UTC

From PBS

2018-01-10 15:48:00 UTC

How do you guys handle long flights? Like 12-16 hours long ? I get really anxious around the 8 or 9th hour and start feeling like I'll never be off the plane

2018-01-10 15:48:35 UTC

I start forgetting what the outside world is like and can never sleep on planes. God I wish I could sleep on a plane hat sounds awesome

2018-01-10 15:54:27 UTC

upload lots of movies, tv shows, etc

2018-01-10 15:54:31 UTC

grab a book to read

2018-01-10 15:55:33 UTC

i find in-flight entertainment to satisfy most my needs these days

2018-01-10 15:56:08 UTC

you might even get regional selections depending on your destination or carrier

2018-01-10 15:57:10 UTC

get up, stretch your legs, stand around at the emergency exits once in a while

2018-01-10 15:57:22 UTC

or if you're the type to stay put, get a window seat

2018-01-10 16:47:20 UTC

Try staying up for about 48 hours or so before your flight, so you are so exhausted you'll sleep regardless of your anxiety

2018-01-10 16:47:49 UTC

<:pepestressed:327933525124841482> that sounds like a good way to ensure being jetlagged ur whole trip

2018-01-10 16:53:42 UTC

Jetlag is a meme

2018-01-10 16:54:44 UTC

Not for me haha

2018-01-10 16:55:06 UTC

I usually get to my destination at like 6pm in bed, fall asleep accidently, then wake up at 2am

2018-01-10 16:55:11 UTC

Repeat for 4 days

2018-01-10 16:55:43 UTC

One time I fell asleep at 6pm and woke up at 7am. That was nice.

2018-01-10 17:10:32 UTC

I don't have the strength to stay awake longer than like 30 hours and I start entering into sleep deprived manic mode, how I was during my last trip /flight

2018-01-10 17:17:04 UTC

I've tried taking sleeping pills

2018-01-10 17:17:17 UTC

But on a plane I still can't sleep, so my body falls asleep but my brain is awake

2018-01-10 17:17:21 UTC

Makes me almost paralyzed

2018-01-10 17:17:23 UTC

It's horrible

2018-01-10 17:26:13 UTC

ditto, im in like a survival heightened awareness defense mode on planes, but pass out hard for like 12 hours in the hotel

2018-01-10 17:27:03 UTC

Anyone flown Oman air

2018-01-10 17:27:08 UTC

Is it a trap

2018-01-10 18:14:09 UTC

2018-01-10 18:14:17 UTC

Played PUBG Chinese rip off for Android

2018-01-10 18:14:24 UTC

It's sponsored by KFC China

2018-01-10 18:14:34 UTC

So the health kits in game are buckets of chicken

2018-01-10 18:14:44 UTC

And there are KFC adverts all over inside the game

2018-01-10 18:14:56 UTC

God bless

2018-01-10 18:15:13 UTC

Ironically, this is a battle Royale game based off a counter strike rip off called "crossfire"

2018-01-10 18:15:28 UTC

So they call it CF, it's been popular for a long time. They use that rip off brand for this too

2018-01-10 18:15:45 UTC

Most chinks actually think it came first and that counter strike ripped it off

2018-01-10 18:16:03 UTC

They think that for most things, actually.

2018-01-10 18:23:22 UTC

I don't believe that

2018-01-10 18:40:21 UTC

Sorry, I meant the people who play games

2018-01-10 18:41:01 UTC

Younger gamers here are horribly uncultured and despite being "educated" are really fucking stupid

2018-01-10 18:42:05 UTC

If you grew up with one thing, and then 15 years later someone told you it was a rip off, but the game says otherwise, who you gonna believe ? I showed an entire class of 12 year olds that league of legends came before the chink ripoff because they didn't believe me

2018-01-10 18:42:31 UTC

Maybe you just got old

2018-01-10 18:42:49 UTC

12 year olds in general are pretty retarded

2018-01-10 18:43:07 UTC

These kids spend literally 12 hours everyday in a classroom

2018-01-10 18:43:09 UTC

Even weekends

2018-01-10 18:43:16 UTC

They are braindead idiots because of it

2018-01-10 18:43:46 UTC

They are fucking useless.imagine being fucking 10 years old and you can't tie your shoes or even put on clothes properly

2018-01-10 18:44:02 UTC

The parents do fucking everything for them. They just want the kid to study, that is their only job in life

2018-01-10 18:44:04 UTC

That's like... what can we call it... learned autism? <:thenk:329322130804047872>

2018-01-10 18:44:21 UTC

I see grandparents hand feed ten year olds as the kid stares into space

2018-01-10 18:44:56 UTC

The kids become adults and everyone is pissed at them when they don't know how to interact with people are think logically or have life skills

2018-01-10 18:45:03 UTC

Well of course not, they never learned it

2018-01-10 18:45:30 UTC

If you're in highschool or younger it is absolutely forbidden to even think about dating

2018-01-10 18:45:39 UTC

Then the second you graduate college like the next day

2018-01-10 18:45:44 UTC

"why aren't u married yet"

2018-01-10 18:45:55 UTC

The day after u get married :

2018-01-10 18:46:04 UTC

"why don'tu have kids"

2018-01-10 18:51:03 UTC

the trick is to start baby making before you get married.

2018-01-10 19:47:45 UTC

SCMP reported that Luo was allowed to eventually board the train with her daughter and husband.

2018-01-10 19:47:50 UTC

Anyone have experience with turkish airlines

2018-01-10 20:37:42 UTC

Wait nvm, that would work out more expensive if I have to take the train to gatwick when heathrow is right at my doorstep

2018-01-10 20:38:57 UTC

swiss from heathrow to bangers via zurich doesnt look too bad for 426 gbp

2018-01-10 20:48:38 UTC

>via Zurich

2018-01-10 20:48:51 UTC

meet @porco

2018-01-10 20:48:56 UTC

at the airport

2018-01-10 20:49:06 UTC

for /csg/ meetup

2018-01-10 20:59:08 UTC

I live like 6 minutes from the airport

2018-01-10 20:59:21 UTC

We can all meet at Zurich Airport

2018-01-10 21:02:13 UTC

where do you exactly want to go?

2018-01-10 21:05:33 UTC

nana plaza and soi cowboy

2018-01-10 21:05:38 UTC

nah

2018-01-10 21:05:50 UTC

I'm still looking into where exactly I want to go

2018-01-10 21:06:14 UTC

Meeeetuppp

2018-01-10 21:07:55 UTC

if you take Swiss from Zurich to bang cock, which I already did, don't fly economy

2018-01-10 21:08:16 UTC

it's an over-night flight and you are stuffed in a plane with old men who are going to Thailand for sex tourism

2018-01-10 21:08:22 UTC

you won't be able to sleep a minute all night

2018-01-10 21:08:49 UTC

Swiss (almost) always offers you last minute business upgrades for a few hundred bucks

2018-01-10 21:09:13 UTC

So you get sleep and don't waste your whole first day in Thailand being a zombie

2018-01-10 21:11:38 UTC

I'm too much of a pleb for anything but economy

2018-01-10 21:11:58 UTC

2018-01-10 21:26:40 UTC

last time I paid around 500 CHF for updating the whole round trip to business

2018-01-10 21:27:18 UTC

>12 hours a day

2018-01-10 22:20:32 UTC

>you can book a decent hotel room in bangers for a week for the same price it costs for one night in the town I currently live in (or 1/3 of my weekly rent)

2018-01-10 22:20:34 UTC

<:thenk:329322130804047872>

2018-01-10 22:37:34 UTC

cost of living is super low

2018-01-10 22:55:00 UTC

be aware

2018-01-10 22:55:06 UTC

it's called bang cock for a reason

2018-01-11 21:42:32 UTC

Thinking of doing around 2 weeks there in total

2018-01-11 21:42:48 UTC

bang cock, chiang mai, anywhere else?

2018-01-11 21:44:48 UTC

Are you gonna go do a ladyboy?

2018-01-11 21:46:21 UTC

I could fuck traps at home if I wanted that

2018-01-11 21:46:40 UTC

but it wouldn't be thailand if I wasn't to meet ladyboys

2018-01-11 21:46:48 UTC

Why are you going to thailand yet

2018-01-11 21:46:49 UTC

no fuck though

2018-01-11 21:46:52 UTC

I don't want STD

2018-01-11 21:46:55 UTC

Please see that video

2018-01-11 21:47:09 UTC

>going to thailand and not shagging a ladyboy

2018-01-11 22:13:05 UTC

@fedora you say this because you are holidaylet

2018-01-11 22:13:23 UTC

>not having been to asia

2018-01-11 22:21:09 UTC

>going to a filthy se asian country for anything but sex tourism and maybe business

2018-01-11 22:21:44 UTC

Siiighhh

2018-01-11 22:23:46 UTC

it's more about being able to get away from life

2018-01-11 22:24:09 UTC

I could live like royalty in thailand for the same that it costs me to pay rent

2018-01-11 22:24:20 UTC

<:thonk:288060975775612929>

2018-01-11 22:26:06 UTC

Just use a condom

2018-01-11 22:26:27 UTC

If you want to have an experience with a lady boy but you are afraid of stds, use a condom

2018-01-11 22:26:53 UTC

Also if you are the bottom, you won't feel any difference anyway

2018-01-11 22:26:56 UTC

@porco is it worth paying ยฃ100 for a return flight from bangers to chiang mai or should I stick around the south?

2018-01-11 22:27:51 UTC

I have only been to Bangkok, I don't know about the rest. But Chiang Mai is a destination that I hear often among my older coworkers who go to Thailand yearly

2018-01-11 22:28:03 UTC

But now memes aside, what do you actually want to do in Thailand?

2018-01-11 22:28:17 UTC

I mean seriously, no shitposting for a moment

2018-01-11 22:28:35 UTC

just go around, explore, see shit, experience the culture

2018-01-11 22:28:46 UTC

Okay, in August, right?

2018-01-11 22:28:48 UTC

eat cheap food

2018-01-11 22:28:51 UTC

around june

2018-01-11 22:29:05 UTC

Okay around June there will probably already be a lot of rain

2018-01-11 22:29:10 UTC

Are you aware of that?

2018-01-11 22:29:20 UTC

It could worst case just rain every day of your stay

2018-01-11 22:30:03 UTC

wikitravel said it would just be intermittent bursts of rain but I will look into that <:thonk:288060975775612929>

2018-01-11 22:30:31 UTC

>Extreme rainfall happens in September and October, so these months are best avoided.

2018-01-11 22:30:41 UTC

Okay good, I'm mistaken then

2018-01-11 22:32:29 UTC

That looks worth a visit

2018-01-11 22:33:15 UTC

I was just googling temples. I love visiting temples

2018-01-11 22:33:20 UTC

someone will mistake him for a ladyboy and he will be part of human traficking cycle after that..

2018-01-11 22:33:22 UTC

so sad...

2018-01-11 22:33:26 UTC

๐Ÿ˜ญ

2018-01-11 22:33:56 UTC

I was in Bangkok a week and it started getting boring at the end, so I'd say rather move around tbh

2018-01-11 22:34:46 UTC

yeah, 'm looking beyond bkk atm

2018-01-11 22:34:54 UTC

probably will go chiang mai afterwards

2018-01-11 22:35:42 UTC

have you been to korea, porco?

2018-01-11 22:36:31 UTC

and why do u want to go in thailand instead of all the other azn countries @transience

2018-01-11 22:36:46 UTC

too expensive

2018-01-11 22:36:54 UTC

thailand appeals to me because of how cheap it is

2018-01-11 22:37:03 UTC

Taiwan is cheap, too

2018-01-11 22:37:15 UTC

And Taiwan has the better street food

2018-01-11 22:37:17 UTC

By far

2018-01-11 22:37:31 UTC

korea has copy-pasted all their temples
would not recommend :^)

2018-01-11 22:37:46 UTC

Yes Korean temples are boring

2018-01-11 22:37:58 UTC

Korean street food is boring too

2018-01-11 22:38:31 UTC

The most boring Asian country since the main points I love about Asia are temples and street food

2018-01-11 22:38:37 UTC

when i grow up and will be rich
i will visit all the other east asian countries :^)

2018-01-11 22:39:08 UTC

if i live to that moment ofc

2018-01-11 22:40:44 UTC

Visit Taiwan

2018-01-11 22:40:47 UTC

Cheap and nice

2018-01-11 22:40:57 UTC

not cheap for my standards :|

2018-01-11 22:41:28 UTC

remember

2018-01-11 22:41:31 UTC

1200 usd/ mo

2018-01-11 22:41:34 UTC

My first visit to Taiwan was before I was actually working and I managed to have super fun low-budget trips

2018-01-11 22:41:59 UTC

I was earning roughly 600 โ‚ฌ / month on my weekend job lmao

2018-01-11 22:42:30 UTC

my budget is like 1000-2000, not including the flight

2018-01-11 22:42:54 UTC

1000 and 2000 are a huge difference

2018-01-11 22:42:55 UTC

i did two weeks in jp for 500$ without flight

2018-01-11 22:42:58 UTC

that's gbp

2018-01-11 22:43:20 UTC

2000 pound for how much time?

2018-01-11 22:43:23 UTC

2 weeks?

2018-01-11 22:43:29 UTC

2-3 weeks

2018-01-11 22:43:37 UTC

nigga you'll be living like a king

2018-01-11 22:43:44 UTC

2000 pound are 907 kilo

2018-01-11 22:43:52 UTC

You can spend 3 weeks as a king in Taiwan

2018-01-11 22:43:53 UTC

you won't have to meet people from 4chan to give you a place to sleep for a few days

2018-01-11 22:44:13 UTC

2000 is how much I can theoretically spend, but I would like to keep around the 100-1500 range

2018-01-11 22:44:26 UTC

I had a 500 โ‚ฌ budget for 2 weeks the first time I visited Taiwan and I had tons of fun

2018-01-11 22:44:35 UTC

couchsurfing or hotels?

2018-01-11 22:44:39 UTC

Public transport is cheap, food is cheap

2018-01-11 22:44:48 UTC

how was your taiwanese?

2018-01-11 22:44:49 UTC

Student dorm of a girl I met on interpals

2018-01-11 22:45:15 UTC

2018-01-11 22:47:14 UTC

But it's a tiny island. You can reach all those spots easily as a day trip

2018-01-11 22:47:23 UTC

renting a car?

2018-01-11 22:47:37 UTC

Like if you stay in Taipei, you can have day trips to all of those places except for Kenting

2018-01-11 22:47:52 UTC

No, public transport

2018-01-11 22:48:31 UTC

The HSR brings you from the top of the island to the bottom in a few hours and the last train departs Kaohsiung really late, I think around 23

2018-01-11 22:49:13 UTC

i was curious if it'd be a viable option

2018-01-11 22:49:56 UTC

I wouldn't rent a car in Taiwan, highway is limited to 110 km/h and people drive like they don't care about their own lives

2018-01-11 22:50:37 UTC

Ah so exactly like Chinkland

2018-01-11 22:50:38 UTC

how do you think I feel now, planning a trip in the middle of term time <:thonk:288060975775612929>

2018-01-11 22:53:06 UTC

And if you are a weeb and you like ghibli, visit jiufen, which is the town that inspired "spirited away"

2018-01-11 22:53:47 UTC

I am on my phone, I can upload some of my photos of jiufen tomorrow.

2018-01-11 22:53:57 UTC

It's also worth a visit if you stay in Taipei

2018-01-11 22:55:40 UTC

So with like 1300aud+flight money I can live like a king in Taiwan for a couple weeks

2018-01-11 22:55:55 UTC

850eur or so

2018-01-11 22:56:17 UTC

So the key to having a good time is to meet a girl there online, sleep at her place and have her show you around and then leave before it gets serious

2018-01-11 22:56:18 UTC

Flights should be cheap cause I live literally next door

2018-01-11 22:56:45 UTC

yes Turbo, that's just called being a Chad

2018-01-11 22:56:51 UTC

I could just say that my grandma is about to die and then change phone numbers and use a burner email for when I get back

2018-01-11 22:57:02 UTC

ez pz

2018-01-11 22:57:45 UTC

@Deleted User if you're a Chad, yes. If you're me, you end up having a year of long distance relationship and eventually take her to your country for an ongoing 4+ years relationship

2018-01-11 22:57:54 UTC

Because I'm a beta

2018-01-11 22:57:58 UTC

kek

2018-01-11 22:57:59 UTC

nono

2018-01-11 22:58:07 UTC

I already have a girlfriend so that wouldn't fly

2018-01-11 22:58:16 UTC

being white from a rich country helps a lot, even if you need to commit

2018-01-11 22:58:23 UTC

Ah well, could always try to make it work

2018-01-11 22:59:00 UTC

Found those two photos of jiufen on my phone still

That was in Ikea Kaohsiung

2018-01-11 23:01:24 UTC

It stood there like that, no one cared

2018-01-11 23:01:52 UTC

looks cozy

2018-01-11 23:02:15 UTC

>going to ikea on holidays though

2018-01-11 23:02:40 UTC

no wonder she figured she was going to be your serious girlfriend.

2018-01-11 23:02:45 UTC

Ikea Taiwan has steel chopsticks

2018-01-11 23:02:55 UTC

I needed them

2018-01-11 23:05:56 UTC

Oh shit

2018-01-11 23:06:04 UTC

@porco what's the best time to go to Taiwan?
