The Travel/Voyage Thread

Do you really deserve to be anti-American if your main pastime activity is consuming American pop culture? I have a friend who is like that: talks about how much he hates the US while at the same time loving McDonalds and Iron Man-type movies and such.

In France everyone is like a sex starved maniac and I am fairly certain people just engage in hours-long foreplay to resolve conflicts.

C'mon that's far from the truth. But I'll tell you something.. it seems easier to get laid here than many other places.

Good that's a stupid habit anyway.

Don't get mad just becaue Aussie women love Canadian men. Nothing like a good root.

Travelling around the world is gay. Good scenery is the same wherever you go as are beaches. If you want to experience different cultures then watch foreign films.

Hahahaha, remember this guy? Many years on and he's still posting the same random bollocks.

Me and muh laday make a trip together every summer. This year we're going to Latvia and Estonia and I can't wait. I loved Estonia when I was there last year (worked for a company from Tartu). I have to show muh lady. I love how clean and tidy Estonia is and everything seems to work there unlike in the slavic kingdom of Czech/Slovakia/Poland etc., plus I think it's a good idea to go north during July when the summer heat gets way worse the closer you are to the south. Riga is going to be something new even for me and I've heard good things.

Still this year will probably be way calmer for me compared to the last year when I visited Berlin, Nurnberg, Malta, Bulgaria, and Estonia.

Make sure you ask how to say "twelve months" in Estonian.

I was pissing in a Finnish bathroom one time, and a drunk Russian in the urinal next to me informed me that "Estonia is shit country. Go to Latvia." So I'll be interested to hear how they compare.

My wife and I are traveling to Japan later this summer. I'm super psyched.

Following my post in the Books/Reading thread, I'd like to share some of my pictures from Malta, I was there last spring, 2018 that is.

I was visiting the island of Gozo specifically, which is smaller than the main Malta island. We traveled there by boat from the main island at like 1AM so it felt mythical already.



The main thing about Malta is the dry mediterranean climate. What you see often is those Agave inflorescences falling over. Other than that mostly xerophytic shrubs. And in the background, sea.



This is a view from that short stone tower from the previous pictures. There's barely any beaches suitable for going swimming, it's like the island is a rock sitting on the body of water. There's a cliff dividing you and the sea, but that provides for some incredible views. Also, it can get very windy.



There was a small hill that I decided to go up to and there were christian statues on the way. I took drunk selfies with the individual calvary depictions.



I took the following picture because it looks like Jesus is getting nailed in the butt and the soldier is really enjoying it.



From the hill it's possible to see the Ta Pinu cathedral, probably my favorite building there but there's churches everywhere.



The last picture is from the boat, when we were leaving Gozo. Shit doesn't change much in Malta, I think this is what the place will look like for decades to come. Even Pynchon has noted that in his novel.
