She pulled me into lala bar when I was about to throw in the towel on finding someone to play with my pecker. After briefly groping her 19 year old teen body my pecker started pulsating. I took her upstairs. It was good. She works at cooters now.

some little kids were excited to say hello to me in english

>About 5pm in central Pattaya and can't sleep
>Never been to the big "PATTAYA" Hollywood sign rip-off in 8 trips here.
>Decide to walk all to Budda Hill (where the sign is) near Pratumnak as it's nice and cool before the sun comes up around 6, about 45 min walk
>Exchange pleasantries with a few farang-Thai couples on the way up, just out for their morning stroll
>Get near the top, after the observation point with a few people taking photos of the view, but just before the stairs that take you down to the sign but there's some 20-something Thai guy there
>I say "good morning" to him or some shit
>He asks me if I'm on holiday or living there, then tells me the sign is just down some steps to our right
>I thank him, then out of the blue he asks me if I want to fuck. 6 in the fucking morning, sun has just popped its head above the horizon, and there's some dude prossie hanging around one of the most popular tourist attractions asking lone tourists if they fancy a bunk up
>"lol, er, er, no t-t-thanks, I'm just passing through; my gf is waiting for me back at my place"
>Quickly walk away without even seeing the stupid fucking sign

It really is a special place, Pattaya.

It was an adventure

Climbed kawah ijen and went down into the crater with no headlamp on a rainy night. I loved somehow.

When I visited Amsterdam for the first time, I didn't know that their trams had separate entrances and exits. I just thought you could enter/exit through any opening like any other public transportation in any other city.

So I absentmindedly entered a tram through the exit. Then I hear a voice over the loudspeaker.
>"Hey man, you gotta go in through the entrance!"
>"Come on, man, get out and try again!"
By then, the tram's doors had shut and started moving.
>"Get your ass over here!"

So there's a service desk in the middle of the tram. Pic related. Unlike the pic, the man behind the desk wasn't an old Dutch man, it was a young Surinamese man. He proceeded to give me a loud tongue-lashing over what I did was illegal, and if the public transport authorities happened to see this, I would be fined. There was no professionalism to be had, he was keeping it real.
"You can't fucking do that shit! You want to spend your money on weed and bitches, not on transportation fines! I'm not mad at you, I just want to keep you out of trouble!"

Then at some point he forgot that he was giving me an ass-chewing and pulled out an Amsterdam tourist brochure. On the back, in the Notes section, he started writing down names of his favorite restaurants, places to get weed, and a VR arcade.

I wasn't even mad at him. After years of watching so many comedy movies, being yelled at by a black man with a funny accent just doesn't fill me with anger, fear, or hatred. I was actually trying really hard not to laugh.

lmao. Please let this be real.
Why don't my trams have info counters?

where's that mountain, doesn't look like mt fuji but the trees look japanese

The mountain is called Mount Fitz Roy and is located in Southern Argentina/Chile. Pic is taken in Los Glaciares National Park, in Argentina.

lol you appear to have the right attitude, anon

lived in Paris for two years. traveled to about 20 countries while living there as a base. everytime someone learned I was American they'd always ask if I was from New York. When I told them I was from Tennessee they ALWAYS said "Oh, Jack Daniels!"

>>2804191

>>2804191
I have on at least three separate occasions told a European I was from Virginia, sometimes even specified that was from the Eastern, Coastal region, only to have them serenade me with John Denver's Country Roads.

>>2804203
>John Denver's Country Roads.
I was in Budapest a couple years ago. Our hostel went to a backpackers bar and they made all the Americans (there was like 5 of us) get on karaoke and sing this song.
Also it was Christmas Day lol

I was once stood on a busy street in Prague when i felt someone stroke the full width of my back as i turned a pale bald man dressed all in black walked away without so much as looking back. He wasn't walking like everyone else.

>>2803975
How many tattoos dos she have? Your girlfriend sounds like she might be a man. Where do you get mdma in Albania? Along for a friend

>>2804313
You might be a faggot, or a bit brainrekt by social media if you think all women have tattoos and are men.
As for MDMA, just brought it over, as wanted a bit of an escape after the covid clownery. However, it's possible to get coke in Sarande really easily just by asking around. Good shit, too. Literally just asked the barman in one bar and a BMW pulled up in about 15 minutes. Was even given cut up straws, kek.

>>2803998
His 'wish i was dead' gaze will probably come true when he gets ridden to death and strangled by that crazy bitch later.

I got attacked by a group of three Arab-looking tourists in the Louvre. I did literally nothing to provoke it. I was scared because I was surrounded and also because I was in a hallway gate with statues on either end of me; that is, I was scared until the main guy punched me. It was the weakest punch I'd ever experienced, straight on the chest but it didnt even hurt at all. So I laughed at him, he yelled some angry stuff as I waddled away.
This is like the one story I have, excepting the time I pissed against Krakow's main church because I was wasted. Usually I just visit good places, see nice things, eat good food, maybe watch some good soccer, and go home with nothing ever happening. The rare occasions I go out it's only good vibes. So that punch really sticks with me - it's like a forced canon event that didn't fit in the narrative but the game had to play the cutscene anyway

>>2803922
out of all the things a dumb tourist wouldn't get, this is still next level stupid. There are stickers all over the door telling you NOT to enter there. You could probably also tell from everyone else not standing at that door. Maybe don't smoke weed before you get to your destination.

>>2804253
you have been marked

>>2804208
I walked past a circle of Asians on the sidewalk on a Sunday morning in Vientiane and they were all singing "Country Roads, Take Me Home".

>>2803973
Maybe you live in a civilized country where public hall monitors are not needed.

>>2804160
it's probably an AI pic itself

Um I dunno if this is officially "travel" but I guess kinda - when I was in my early 20s my parents sent me to rehab and I wasn't allowed to come home after - so I had to pick an "aftercare" program so I did in the mountains of the pacific NW cuz it looked pretty (only did one actual serious hike though and it took like 10 hours cuz I got lost in an ice field on the way back and a search party had JUST set out for me when I got back to the car) - anyways so I was in this mountain town - and I got kicked out of the aftercare program after 2.5 months for having alcohol on the premises - I didn't really care about being there and I wasn't even drinking that much and you were allowed to drink off-premises, just not store alcohol or drink at home - which was stupid but anyways

so I started going to this bar in town and got friendly with what seemed like the head-bartender a canadian woman maybe in her 40s a little rough around the edges I think she was a meth addict - certainly a dealer
and we got kinda friendly and somehow one night she ended up showing me her lockbox full of meth - and I'm just like a raging fag and love pretty crystals - I don't enjoy meth and didn't take any ever from her - but like I remember it came in like a rainbow of colors in big huge crystals and I've never seen anything like it before or since it feels like a dream
but then somehow either right before or after that night she had a male friend in town - he was from prairie province canada - like she was originally - very few were truly from the resort/mountain town I was living in at the time - and they were yucking it up at the bar - and he kept saying faggot over and over - not in direct reference to me but I was kinda an obvious fruity gay and I thought it was weird she didn't tell him to knock it off and I got kinda upset over it - I think also just generally I didn't feel welcome as a gay in the town and that had kinda made me go insane by that point - so I went home and wrote a craigslist post detailing how the bartender sold meth from the bar

and I guess there was a minor scandal and somehow I got word they had drug tested the bartender - she was negative - and there was no proof she was selling - so she kept her job (though I'm sure I put the fear of god into her and that was my point), and I tried - heh- to go back to the back - and this male voice calls me on the phone - did you write that craigslist post - me - yeah - him - ok you can't come back to this bar

so me and my friends had to find a different place to hang out - which sorta let to our friendship dissolving a bit cuz they were barflies and their favorite bar was that one cuz it was kinda "modern" and attracted a young hip crowd

>pass up chemsex with slutty milf
based, I would never pass this shit up

Photography is remembrance. Some people scoff, but taking a picture prints an impression onto your mind better than merely observing it does.

I went to Spain in college as part of some big school trip for hospitality majors. I wasn't one, but they opened up the trip to all the students so I signed up. Was 18 and mostly interested in being able to drink in bars and buy alcohol. Spent the whole trip drunk and don't really remember anything.
That's the only time I've been outside the continental US.

>>2804739
Quite possibly the most milquetoast post I've ever had the pleasure of reading on /trv/.
Glad you made it, anon, and hope the rest of the trip was pleasant.

Patagonia is one of the most beautiful places on Earth, yes it looks like that. At least when it's not all covered in snow.

>>2804717
Fully agree. Looking at my photos when I'm down motivates me to keep working hard, saving money, and travelling. I'm also getting better at amateur photography and people give me a lot of compliments for my photos now, which is nice.
