There is something inherently tragic and pathetic about a middle aged white guy sat on a plastic baby chair in an Asian backstreet, guzzling noodles in the midst of puzzled dinks. The desperation of the "real traveller" to experience something transcendent when in reality he's just another pretentious tourist adrift and out of place in a culture that secretly despises and pities him beyond words.

He was the prototype to the pretentious travel vloggers pre-social media. In his defense, I'm sure back then when fewer people had the balls to travel and places were less documented that it would make you say these things. But now that traveling is more accessible and seemingly every nook and cranny is documented on social media, it definitely comes off as pretentious today. Truth in these words, but pretentious and overly dramatic. But it is for tv so I guess it's fitting that it's overly dramatic. He was a product of his time.

Lol what was the age difference between him and the girl?

>>2800660
Nailed it. This is the blackpill that any seasoned traveler comes to.

You’re just another foreign shitbag to them. Do you look at the Mexican cutting your lawn and superimpose grandiose dreams and hopes on top of his identity? Nope! He’s just a nuisance in your country that you put up with. And that’s what Asians do to you as a white guy.

>>2800684
They think everyone in the world is like their little suburb where nobody has a life beyond their job and spying on their neighbors. If they would travel, they would know there is a liberating aspect in the fact that nobody knows you and you don't know anyone, nobody gives a shit about your tourist ass who is leaving tomorrow, and that the real blackpill of travelling is that since everything is so ephemeral, all the friendships and relationships you make are doomed to end after a few days or a few hours, and you will probably never see these people ever again in your life because very little people have the energy to maintain long-distance relationships even with WhatsApp/Telegram, myself included.

Anon you're genuinely kind of a shit person. I kind of hate Mexicans but that's because they've (already) demographically replaced us and their spawn have the gall to burn shit down and wave Mexican flags. But the ones actually fucking mowing lawns and working (most of them, btw) are not bad people at all. You can be against getting taken over by foreigners while still recognizing that foreigners are individually good people.

But that's besides the point. Your analogy doesn't even make sense. Mexicans or Nafris or Indians or whatever else are low-income migrants, generally, and typically immigrate by the millions and form their own parallel societies. Whites don't really do this, except maybe in Europe. The majority of whites in Japan at any given time are just tourists there to get a look around and fuck off back home. Most Japanese are fine with that.

unironically, he IS living his dream AND making bank while sending remittances back home to build generational wealth and making dough arb'ing truckloads of goods twice a year. furthermore, he's surrounded by a supportive deep-rooted community. you'd know that if you'd ever spent anytime abroad upon which having done so would immediately betray many of the living myths passing for the good life in america.

You don't get it, it's the other way around, it's about realizing they don't give a shit about you.
Of course, you shouldn't insult locals, steal from them, be an asshole, and you should respect their culture, learn a few words of the local language, and so on if you want a pleasant trip.
But the locals are busy with their own lives, their jobs, their families, their friends, traffic jams, money problems, etc.
Do you think Asian locals care if they see yet another tourist eating a bowl of cheap noodles? Do you think your existence is that important in their eyes? Are you some kind of Hollywood superstar or something?
No, they don't care about you because you are leaving in a few days, and another tourist will do the same thing as you as soon as you are gone.
You are not "a nuisance in their country that they put up with" as long as you behave correctly, you are just a foreigner in the landscape on their way to whatever errands they are running, a foreigner who came to spend his money in the country. So you better enjoy that bowl of noodles before going back to the wage cage.

Thailand is part of what I know as the Kingdom of Siam (regional confederation). Specifically Thailand though it was known as a Kingdom that was never conquered...until now. New World Order.

This is why there are so many foreigners in Thailand, relaxed laws. Whether a civilization remains or falls depends of the hueman ecosystem (Systems Biology), not merely random chance of events. Its directlt tied to sexual dynamics, which Thailand avoided the pitfalls due to high transexual and homosexual levels. Arabia used the very similar dynamics but repressed those so in order to "even the male:female ratio" there had to be less males, hence war.

Angkor Wat is Geometrically aligned with Easter Island and Giza, far too Mathematically precise to be by chance, yet they were built thousands of years apart, in secret...curious how that occured.

This same "conquering" also has a backend, meaning when one bloodline leaves an area, another takes its place. This is largely why Hindians are migrating to the West. Hindians *are* Ayrans but in the "other" way, where Sven is head centric, Jeet is heart centric.

Lile Asians in general, generally Satanic. {{{Society's}}} desires superceding an individual's. It eventually turns into some form of hueman sacrifical system.

I have files on my computer filled with thousands of boring tourist snaps. God knows how many Thai beach sunsets, Angkor statues and random golden buddhas. I never, ever look at them. Smartphones have made the whole thing compulsive and I genuinely don't even take that many compared to most. The one regret I do have is having barely images of the people I've met on my travels over the years as I'm not a selfie cunt who pulls their phone out every 5 minutes on a night out.

I agree with Bourdain but not because it's some forced "real traveller" revelation. Its just a waste of time unless you are an instagram whore or photography is your hobby/passion. Same goes for visiting tourist traps. They are always horribly overcrowded anticlimaxes but sitting in a back alley eating slop out of a plastic bowl is not some alternative enlightening experience either.

>>2802596
>but sitting in a back alley eating slop out of a plastic bowl is not some alternative enlightening experience either.
Ive been to so many back alleys in random towns its blended into blur.

One that stuck with me was venturing on the edge of Cairo, looking for a poolhall, found a random bar that had one. Late at night, far from any tourist stuff, totally alien environment, having a non-alcoholic beer, looking over an intersection of nightly traffic, and shooting some pool. I cant exactly remember where it was...just somewhere in Cairo. Vivid memory, mindane events.

Another, somewhere in the world, I cant even remember the continent, but the street layout, the vibe, hues from street lights, I'll never forget how foreign and exotic it felt, even though I cannot remember where in the world it was.

One, where I can totally pinpoint where, in the US, was when I tuned into organic algorithmic/memetic communications produced by crowds. Several years later Professor Michael Levin mentions the exact same thing as one of his "abstract theories he briefly mentions". Happened in a mall...a totally normal mall.

Ive always had trancendent experiences in random and mundane places...so entranced in moment I lose touch with myself and often never record where ecactly I was because my mind was recording such more important information that "where" or "when" gets forgetten. I ascended in a cheap hotel outside of Nashville.

"Where is the Kingdom of Heaven." he asked...so I pointed at him.

Im the most traveled person on this board, I once clocked in an average of one flight every 14.5 days for two years. It was fucking exhausting...and half of those flights were like trans-oceanic flights, so not just hopping to the bordering country by flight.

>>2802735
>after that conversation, our connection was just strange
Because you were attempting the impossible to him...youre no longer equal, and equality means median of the minimum, a downward social direction.

By being upward you are violating his way of life, making him see himself as lesser, which violates "equality". This Cognitive dissonance can manifest itself as hostility towards "friends" and any rebuttle you give with be seen as grounds to ratchet up hostility (crossing you is met with your defence, which is grounds for another crossing).

Ah..."friends", who needs enemies, ammI right?

Yep.
If you want to live like picrel, cool. Go and do it. Doing it on vacations where you don't know anyone or have meaningful relationships, is just hollow.

>>2802956
Bourdain made a living off of appealing to cringe travel Boomers and gen Xers who were desperate for somebody to romanticize off beaten path travel for men their age. His brand was like heroin for certain types of people who had nothing else going on in their lives except showing up in (place) for a couple of weeks, stumbling around in confusion, then leaving.

Bourdain, for them, turned that mundane and stupid event into a grand adventure and made getting some noodles from a dirty cart into this mysterious and spiritual undertaking where they were directly communing with the third world slum spirit.

No, God blesses the morally corrupted, this is why the FBI, DOJ, MIL, all branches of government, are all compomised. Notice how people shit up threads when I post objective facts (regardless if anyone can verify), and constantly lie and LARP at me?

No one tells them to shut up...if anything they tell me to shut up. They side with Judas, against Jesus...this is society, because there is no such thing as a good person. Only evil and those that allow it by submitting to social pressure as their true master. Individual moments can be good...but if you were all good then you would see objective, wanton, evil in all directions and "good people" defending it.

>>2803021
In the end...its more managable for me to talk to you...because you have no soul and are a complete failure. The guy above has van life stories, but mine are way more exciting, he has traveled a bunch, but Ive traveled far far more, his greatest anything probably isnt worth getting out of bed for me. Really skews the relationship into extreme imbalance. Only solution is for me to speak nothing of myself so he can act naturally....but now its a completely 1 sided relationship, again, and again...

Fuck friends.
Fuck family.
Only Satan.

Evil only respects evil.

It really is. Society emits Magnetic pressures that guide Evolution, sometimes I can physically feel them in my body in certain places that emit bands Im not as familar with. "Overcoming the world." means emitting a greater field than the one acting upon you...wherever Electric signals exist, Magnetic fields are created.

Manipulation of your central nervous system can projects this field into the environment, causing it to change. Mind over matter is actually moreso 'heart in synthesis with head' over matter.

Which dogwhistle word tripped you up? Was it a Linguistic dogwhistle or a Scientific dogwhistle? If Scientific, what is your educational background so I can better define the science for you.

If its Linguistic then read the dictionary, no...literally. I do (Thesaurus mostly as I make a game of it, supplimenting it with a Latin or Greek dictionary).

>>2803195
Oh, or Theological? In that case I would just post a bunch of verses and attach current events as citations.

Theology is Developmental Psychology/Cognition, which is rooted in Physiology, which is rooted in BioPhysics, and collectively under Systems Biology and Morphic Resonance.

Food grounds you in a place. When you eat what is prepared by the inhabitants from ingredients their farmers grow, you are absorbing a part of their land into your body. When you eat imported supermarket slop, you will always feel alienated and out of touch with your surroundings.

>>2803189
Modern travel naturally lends itself to a minimalist lifestyle. You don't need much beyond a passport and a charge card. Your daily experiences amount to little more than a series of courteous transactions, and that's a good thing. I'm hoping to downsize my luggage on my next trip in order to make adventuring easier. Indonesia's vast unexplored islands, or Myanmar's war-torn scrublands. Which one. Gotta pick one. I'm not interested in hopping back and forth across oceans every two weeks like our famous namefag here. Dusty bumpy roads are more my thing.

>>2803199
>Dusty bumpy roads are more my thing.
HEY.....I spent a couple months driving through central Europe late last year. Luxembourg, French countryside, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria, Italy, Chzech, Germany.

I took a hundred picturs of mushrooms. Blue ones, green one, browns, orange, all kinds. I think I ran over a mouse in Fance.

>his greatest anything probabaly isnt worth getting out of bed for me
Yes but is all your glory and experience only within traveling and adventure?
Are you also well versed into "hidden knowledge" about health, energy, healing methods, cancer. Or history , or what about the arts and construction ? Are you a true rennaaisance man, or are you simply just the most traveled vagabond?

I am more fascinated to meet travelers that can tell me about some real unique ideas or creations, rather than hearing about how someone hitchhiked and slept in ditches and ate local food in the middle of nowhere. I do enjoy hearing those tales, but i prefer meeting the old man in a hostel that has a broomstick handle taped to a fan on one end and the other end of the stick is on his gut, and i ask him "is that your healing device"? And then we chat about different deep random knowledge

>>2803197
>When you eat imported supermarket slop, you will always feel alienated and out of touch with your surroundings
a sick society will alienate its citizens by chronic spiritual wasting disease; ie dysfunction of the gut biome-brain network indexing mood as a proxy for metabolic energy capacity. leave the usa for more than a few days and one will lose weight but not only the adipose type. furthermore, the value of any excursion largely depends on the quality of meals taken and with whom; with the resulting social-spiritual residue accuring in the traveller's favor.

>>2803206
>only within traveling and adventure
No, my sceintific research altered the fields theyre in. Problem is...you have to actually *know* the fields to know I have, otherwise the rebuttle is TV tier "but everyone knows this or that".
>"hidden knowledge" about health
MAHA isnt hidden, its well founded and basic knowledge. Herd immunity. Organic. Physical fitness. None of it is complicated.
>energy, healing methods
Aight, now youre getting into technical fields that require some prerequisits/one on one sessions. Im too old for clinic hours, purely research side of things now.
>cancer
Dissociative Identity Disorder on cellular scale. Check out Micheal Levin's Oncology research for more.
>Or history
Rewrote it, as well as redefining the cultural foundation for civilization. Thats why the world order has radically shifted, I had to redraw the map of the world on a hyper-Dimensional level, so even "enemy" nations can also be allied and mirrored, like the Taliban and the US.
>the arts
Ive been to every art gallery I could find and used my eidedic memory to take a snapshot of every painting, cross referrencing them to all others taken. (I do this for faces as well, reverse engineering hueman migrations and deducing lineages involved).
>and construction
Architectural Geometry, studying controlling Geomtry used as base for proportions in buildings to deduce what it was consecrated to or for.
>Are you a true rennaaisance man
Rennaaisance men mimic me.
>or are you simply just the most traveled vagabond
Rootless international cliqué.
[tightens fist, spittle flying]
>then we chat about different deep random knowledge
I work with such a large amount of data in my head I just talk about what Im currently working on, which is Biblical Genetics, Cognition, BioPhysics, Collective Intelligence, and occasionally Number Theory or something.

>>2803211
>ie dysfunction of the gut biome-brain network
Part of Collective Intelligence and Symbiotic/Hybridization in people, was of high interest to me some years ago.

Kind of to this too. People who are not fully in unison with themselves promote things that with disunify you as well. They are not "consciously" aware theyre doing so, and if theyre made away of this then the very next solution they come up with....will result in the *exact* same disharmony, they donr have a choice. Its related to Cogntion, theyre unable to see a direction that isnt the directions theyre trained to see as solutions, which are in fact the problem...well, not a problem for "all" life. Bacteria and other lesser lifeforms prefer degeneration.

Interesting idea of metabolism, got any interesting thoughts on alcohol?
>>2803213
MAHA sounds interesting , i will check that out
Do agree that most bacterial/viral "sickness" is actually just the body detoxing/healing?
Do you also agree that many "illness symtpoms" that people experience and often seek medical "professionals" to "cure them" ... that those symtpoms are actually the bodies natural way of healing/regulating, and thus good for us

Do you play instruments? Can you DJ? Dancing?
And how about "manifestating/law of attraction type memes? I have often experienced some real powerful "coincedences" that occur while traveling and am curious to know this stuff happens more often while traveling, and im also trying to be more conscious of this stuff so I can always be "manifestating" glory and goodness

>>2803226
>thoughts on alcohol
Bottled death, metaphysically speaking, but also not. Generally a bad thing, but we also live in sterile world thats missing what the majority of history knew as "harshness of life", more so than any point in history. Most people had to deal with something "life or death" on a fairly regular basis and we (the West mostly but its growing everywhere now) are missing that reminder of the serious nature of it. Alcohol seems to be a catalyst for the aspect of the soul that doesnt fear death to act out more, the part that normally could if one was more in tune the realities of life and handled it properly.

I use medicinally, not recreationally. Seeing stumbling drunk people looks sad to me now. Due to circumstances I wont get into Im unable to do certain things, occasionally I need to have a few drinks, but I would rather smoke some weed and do some groovy Pure Maths research.

>bacterial/viral "sickness"
>the body detoxing/healing
Largely, probably, but Im not much of an M.D., its a field a step around some, as my prescription would be "fast and pray" for most things. I use rubbing alcohol and duct tape for wound care.
>many "illness symtpoms" that people experience
>are actually the bodies natural way of healing/regulating, and thus good for us
Depends what you mean by "illness symptom". Some of what the field calls a disorder or illness is natural and normal, just not bluepilled NPC mode of thinking, while others can be due to having incongruint known truths contradicting each other, and a therpay session can cure that easily, and lastly is Cognitive schism, which is much harder to cure and requires active participation from the patient to willfully desire a cure.
>Do you play instruments? Can you DJ? Dancing?
Just listen music and dance non-Euclidian objects in my mind to entertain myself.
>"manifestating/law of attraction

>The only authentic food comes from places where people don't wash their hands!
>The best soup in the world is stirred with a bare hand and a cigarette hanging from someone’s lip.”
>The mark of a good cook isn’t a diploma—it’s burned fingers, stained clothes, and a thousand-yard stare.”
>The best bite of your life might come from a cart that would give your local health department a stroke.”
>If grandma’s not in the back sweating through her apron, I’m not interested.”
>If the meat’s not hacked with a cleaver that’s older than me, it’s not worth chewing. “Give me a place where the same spoon’s been in the pot for 15 years. I want food born in chaos—where flies loiter near the cutting board, the oil’s been reused since the Clinton years, and nobody wastes time pretending cleanliness is next to anything that matters.”
>I want food touched by hands that went from cash to chili without a pause.”
>I’ve been to places where the only running water is what drips off the roof in monsoon season, and the cook looks at you like you’re crazy for asking about hygiene. That’s where you find flavor, not in some sanitized café with menus in eight languages.”
>If you’re eating somewhere without a story of a disaster or a brawl behind it, you’re just eating food, not history.”

my ideas regarding this

>>2800531 (OP)
Bourdain in his virtue signalling claimed to hate Kissinger over Cambodia. He was referring to the US bombing of the north Vietnamese from 1970-1973 and Khmer Rouge from 1970-1975 in Cambodia.

He wasn't referring to US and Kissinger "supporting" the Khmer Rouge contrary to what retards claim.

Average Cambodian despises all Vietnamese, the right wing Cambodian government during 1970-1975 killed both South Vietnamese and North Vietnamese.

Bourdain was another shitlib who had no idea what he was talking about.

Bourdain also supported NATO bombing Libya in 2011 when Gaddafi was one of the biggest enemies of Kissinger and supported groups opposing Kissinger everywhere like East Timor.

Also Kissinger was just a puppet for the Rockefellers whom the shitlib Bourdain never spoke against.

>The best laksa I ever had was ladled out of a cracked plastic tub under a highway overpass in Johor Bahru, stirred with a bamboo paddle that could double as a weapon.
>Give me pho served at 5 a.m. on a plastic stool in Hanoi, while scooters buzz past and the broth’s been simmering since the French left.
>The best shawarma I’ve had was sliced with a knife that looked like it fought in the Yom Kippur War, outside a corner shop in Amman that also sells tire rims.
>If your dosa isn’t served on a banana leaf by a man in a lungi with turmeric on his knuckles, it's not worth waking up for.
>I once ate grilled pig intestines on a stick in Manila while a karaoke rendition of Bon Jovi played through a busted speaker. It was perfect.
>In Vienna, there’s a Gasthaus where they still make kaiserschmarrn with a copper pan and disdain for tourists. The pancake is shredded, caramelized, and served with a glower. Dessert for aristocrats and executioners.
>In Buenos Aires, I ate mollejas—sweetbreads charred on parilla—while a tango record played at the wrong speed. Fat, smoke, salt, and sorrow. The tablecloth had cigarette burns. That’s ambiance.
>In Chioggia, south of Venice, I had moeche—soft-shell lagoon crabs fried so lightly they crunch like glass. The fisherman who caught them speaks in dialect and smells like diesel. You can’t fake that.
>I once ate foie gras out of a Ziploc bag on a loading dock behind a Michelin-starred kitchen in Montreal. It was 3 a.m., drinking Calvados, and someone passed around a spoon like it was contraband. No toast. No fig jam. Just liver, cold steel, and exhaustion. Tasted like victory and self-loathing.
>A friend once smuggled sea urchin roe into LaGuardia in a contact lens case. We cracked it open in a taxi, scooped it with salt-and-vinegar chips, and washed it down with warm white Burgundy from a water bottle. Uni, jet fuel, and bad decisions. A perfect snack.

>In a Sarajevo kafana, I ate čevapi under faded portraits of Tito. The bartender poured rakija and spoke quietly of the siege—how the city survived on smoke, fear, and stale bread. The meat was a small rebellion against hunger.
>In a basement cellar beneath Petralona, Athens, a grizzled butcher served kokoretsi made from a lamb slaughtered in the back alley hours earlier. The power was cut due to debt; candlelight flickered on cracked tiles stained with blood and cigarette ash. Around us, the neighborhood whispered about police raids and the next bailout vote.
>In a corner of The Liberties, Dublin, a greasy spoon diner served black pudding soaked in whiskey from a chipped mug. The bartender, a union activist, recounted stories of factory closures and the slow death of working-class neighborhoods, each bitter bite a requiem for what was lost.
>Deep in the rubble-strewn streets of Baščaršija, Sarajevo, I bit into čevapi grilled over a pit of splintered pallets. The meat was coarse, smoky, with a sharp tang of vinegar from a makeshift pickle jar. The woman who made them whispered about bombs and hunger like they were seasoning. “You don’t eat this for pleasure; you eat to remember.”
>In Bishkek, I had plov in a fluorescent-lit garage full of chain-smoking men watching dubbed Jean-Claude Van Damme movies. The rice was greasy, the lamb knuckle still had hair. Nobody blinked when the power went out.
>At a hidden kitchen under the flyover in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, I chewed through a plate of gudeg—jackfruit stewed in coconut milk until it resembled meat, sweet, spiced, eaten beside cassava leaves. “This is what resistance tastes like in a place where protest gets you ‘disappeared.’”
>In Székelyföld, Romania, I chewed kürtőskalács from a Roma-run stand next to a shuttered factory. Sweet chimney cake, caramelized and crispy, sold by people the state pretends don’t exist. “Tourists take the Instagram shot. Locals take the long road back to nothing.”

>On a rowboat-turned-coffee stand drifting aimlessly off the coast of Cienfuegos, Cuba, I ate ajiaco criollo—a stew of taro, corn, pork, and plantains—scooped into a Styrofoam cup with a plastic spoon fused at the tip. A guy next to me claimed to be Fidel’s nephew and sold postcards of Soviet leaders. “The stew was amazing. The revolution less so.”
>In a repurposed VHS rental store in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, I ate salată de vinete—smoky mashed eggplant with sunflower oil and grated onion—on top of a slice of rye bread that had expired two days before Ceaușescu fell. A parrot screamed “Ciao bella!” every 11 seconds. “You don’t come here for ambience. You come here because nothing else is open and everything else has mold.”
>In a former NATO radar station above Vianden, Luxembourg, now occupied by squatters and artists, I ate Gromperekichelcher (fried potato cakes) with mustard that came out of a tube labeled only “Specimen B.” The artist called it “culinary disobedience.” “Tasted like apocalypse prepper meets postmodern brunch.”

In a windless warehouse behind a shoe factory in Valledupar, Colombia, I ate mute santandereano—a heavy stew of cow’s feet, corn, yuca, and beans—ladled from a cement mixer still crusted with concrete. A guy named Rigo insisted the real flavor came from "residual minerals." “It was like chewing through architecture school and finishing with a kiss from grandma.”
In a narrow alley in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia, past the pool halls and ad-hoc mechanic yards, a woman with a thermos the size of a fire extinguisher handed me sopa de mani—peanut soup with beef and shoestring potatoes—served in a reused instant noodle cup. “No menu. No name. Just sustenance with altitude sickness on the side.”In Erbil, Iraq, inside a stall tucked behind the Qaysari Bazaar’s spice rows, I sat on a stool meant for children and dipped hot nān into a bowl of quzi—fall-apart lamb on saffron rice—while a generator coughed behind me.

Somewhat disageee. I have a lot of fluff, but I also have favorites in order of a year long trip I took. I’m a rainy weekend sometimes I’ll get cosy and scroll through.
