So I saw this video on YouTube about white guys in SEA. Now I am discouraged from going there to teach. Is it true that 99 percent of white guys in SEA are losers?

Expats are constantly scapegoating other groups of expats. They don't like to think they aren't wanted some place and when they are being treated poorly or given a bad reputation they like to point the finger. ESL teachers are an easy target, it's also kind of a downer when they spend a few thousand dollars to visit and exotic location and find the locals jaded because they already have a resident ESL guy hanging around.

How do you even "act like people are trying to prove something to you"?
Also, well adjusted people care about respect to resonable degree. Even hippie weed lmao people, they just have diferent target, usually lower. That's because people who in their youth didn't get to experience great feeling from being respected for some acheivment (like giving beautiful piano performance after years of hard work), will never be able to even imagine why should they be trying.

Kinda mediocre compared to the other amazing places in Penang.

And yes, I agree that both those cities are culinary paradises, and yet the best food I've eaten there was featured on his show, even though I went to many restaurants in both that were amazing but not as good.

Actually I am, and so is everyone is. It sucks but society is going to judge you when you kill yourself. It's a terrible thing to do and it shows a massive lack of feeling for the people around you and your family.

>>1480496
>What was really left for him going forward?
This is the problem. His family was left, his kids were left. Now someone else is going to have to take the time out of their day to raise his kids. The people that do this won't get to fuck off to Thailand and Uganda to live a luxurious and fascinating life. They will make sure his kids are alright, because the sad truth is he was selfish and too concerned with himself to ever do this. I feel for the guy and I think ultimately he was mentally ill to the point that he couldn't make the right decision, and I think his fans encouraged him on his path downward. I imaging you were a part of that fanbase that should feel just a little responsible for cheering on a guy that actually fled his responsibilities as a man back home. If he was a true loner I would be fine with it, but he wanted his cake and eat it too. It doesn't work like that.

Also: on the off-chance you could ever be accredited with being "part of society" (you're on 4chan ffs), that means that I am also part of it. And I am not judging Bourdaine, so you are by definition wrong. All you have is an opinion.You are not in a position to determine any universal position on the fullness of his life here.

South Africa is ok, but it's definitely not "safe"

Also, the area doesn't have to have tin roof shacks to be violent.

Hanover Park, Surrey, Manenberg etc are all dangerous and not shacks like Khayelitsha

But it does need to be a shit area. You can recognize a shit area

>Hanover Park, Surrey, Manenberg
Manenberg is a literal tin shack area.
The other two look like shit too. But thank you for underlining my point: These places are literally 90-120 minute on foot from Rondebosch and OBS and places look shittier and shittier the further out you get. Nobody goes there by mistake.

Hello /trv/, I'm mostly a browser here, but decided to make this post as I do not see any Hong Kong generals.

I bought my tickets and airbnb to stay in Hong Kong right after new years with my wife.

We have never been there, so we watch a lot of videos and articles about it. I am curious of any of your personal stories or recommendation of things in Hong kong.

Please share photos too.

There are but you don't want to go there.
You're better off going to 'regular' bars which have freelancers hanging out to pick up customers but some of those girls are looking for tourists who don't know the prices and will demand 10x the standard price and claim that it's normal. Or, to actual 141 walkups which is the officially legal form and are nearly always hassle-free.

Prostitution is legal in HK but regulated with only particular forms legal and gogo bars aren't quite legal. They exist but they're likely to sting you with hidden charges and big guys on the door, you know the deal.

I think you are referring to the 144hr visa, which requires you fly into a major chinese city then fly to another country after, this is a new thing, unless you join a tour group where you are visa exempt you are talking about 200usd for a visa.
Under new system if you fly to a major chinese city and within 4-5 days you fly to different country apart from your origin you would be entitled to the free visa.

People told me the same about japan and didnt have any problem tho. No hidden charges and the big guys at the door were pretty polite.
Anyway, if im in the mood I would try 141 Walk-in/Walk-ups. Im tired about bargirls after a few trips around SEA.

Don't listen to this anon, he doesn't know what he's talking about. You can get a 72 hour visa for the Shenzen Economic Zone only at the Lo Wu border. The queue can take a long time (longest I've waited is two hours), and then you are in. In theory you can only go around the SEZ, but I've taken the non-high-speed train all the way to Guangzhou before in a weekend and never been caught - though I wouldn't recommend it as you risk a lot if caught.
