WATMM travel thread

My new base in Abu Dhabi is pretty sweet, although I have a terrible fear of heights lol. Will get some better pics this weekend.

8 lane interstate w/only 10 cars on it!?

Oh yeah I forgot I promised a couple of people I would post some pics from North Korea. I'm not a good photographer, so photos that are worthy of uploading are few and far between.

Anyways, here are a few.

Did you sneak these our in your butt? Lol

Naw, in mah scrote.

Yes and no. Since I'm not a mind-reader I don't know how bad you think it is.

3 weeks of honeymoon travel complete. flew into dublin spent roughly 5 days there, flew over to scotland and was there for about 6 days before driving down into england and hopping around there for the remainder of the trip. a few driving close calls but no accidents. irish roads are nuts. favorite cities were probably galway, glasgow and paris.

 

pissed i never actually got to pet a sheep

i'm kinda insulted, our local specialite de la maison

Amsterdamagement hopefully in the new year with my bro and a mate, to celebrate an unexpected windfall, being alive & focusing on other things other than fuckin green, although of course a rigorous list of experiments is lined up for various concentrates

Pretty sure that's the Ryugyong Hotel. Seems to be one of Pyongyang's most famous landmarks.

Great thread, enjoyed reading through the pages :)

I went to Portugal, Germany and Belgium for short breaks this year and did a longer stint of 5 and a half weeks around Cuba and Mexico, was absolutely fantastic!

Planning 2016 travel at the moment, going from Naples -> Rome in Feb and then a longer Summer trip of Bangkok -> Singapore -> working across Java -> Stockholm -> back home. Can't wait!

Indeed it is. Been under construction forever!

A couple more shots from the DPRK and one from Myanmar (yes it has some post-processing done to it).

Plus a few from Japan.

I'm sure there are apps that do that soft defocus effect, and what's the filter called that makes everything look like a miniature model? I need that un.

Yes I just fucked around in instagram for the myanmar one.

None of the others have anything done to them though.

ah, it's called Tilt Shift, a Photoshop effect.

first photo looks like it could be an alternate cover for Tomorrow's Harvest

Going to be taking a vacation from my usual form of vacation (adventure type) and spend a week in Cuba.

Have any of you stayed in Varadero? Looking for recommendations.

Beware of those Cuban ladies! :D

I'm thinking if I should take a short trip to Belarus this spring. Just Minsk probably. Has anybody been there?

I've been to some ex-soviet states (Russia, Ukraine, Armenia, Baltics) but I'm wondering how much different Belarus is from them?

I haven't traveled anywhere in several years. The farthest I traveled recently was into a small town in Savonia in the east of Finland. That said, I should probably travel more within my own country, but sometimes it's cheaper to get a flight to somewhere in Europe including accommodation than it would to travel to some nearby town in Finland and stay there.

Can anyone enlighten me on the current weed pass situation in Amsterdam? I've read it's enforced/it's not enforced. I was gonna meet a girl from the US there next Spring, but not if we can't toke up anymore. Of course, there are other things to do there, but c'mon. We will do some sightseeing so we're not TOTALLY backwards Americans, lol.

you can deffo toke it up one time.

big style
