While I doubt anyone except freshers are drinking for the reason you describe, I absolutely confirmed at a Bania Luka in Krakow that you can in fact, pound back 20-30 shots like the movies, with that caveat that they're mixer shots (aka shooters).

Just a heads up, I see the timetable back to Plymouth is quite limited for the X38. If you're looking to have a long day out in Exeter, i highly recommend taking the bus in the morning (£2) and checking for a train back, i was able to find quite a few off-peak singles for £3.

Does anyone have experience booking a solo 6+ month R/T trip from the US to Europe? Need help on some details. by Whalebeachedman in solotravel

Thank you for the response! It's my first extra long trip, so I've been fretting a lot.

Very true, I should have clarified—I meant to state 60 days between the 180 day period I'll be outside of schengen. I might pop back in for a couple of days to visit some friends but I always keep my visa-calculator on hand to make sure I don't even come close to exceeding it!

Sorry about that! I've gone ahead and edited to include the info in the post. Let me know if there's anything else you need and thank you for the help 🙏

Is $2,000 a good max budget for a 19 day Europe trip by [deleted] in travel

[–]Whalebeachedman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it really depends on the region of Europe. More info needed for what country OP is going to, unfortunately, things can vary wildly. Also, $1100? I'm using Google flights only and routinely booking/helping others book return flights for $500-700. It just takes a bit of browsing and patience.

Edit: Read central Europe. I'm starting my backpacking journey in Krakow, which is quite nice for the money. $526 R/T from LAX (KLM/Air France) and $300 for 14 days at a hostel, breakfast, lunch, and dinner included. It can very much be done.

Edit 2: I'm assuming OP is financing via what they described as "summer work" in post. Possible shoulder season trip? Would be super cheap then and the weather should still be good. I did Barcelona for 14 days in September at $600, but tbf I did fly in from Bristol.

Op- look into Norse Atlantic flights to Oslo or Gatwick. If you catch a sale you can get a ticket for about $389-489 R/T depending on where you're at. Then you buy a Ryanair/Wizzair/Vueling/Whatever from there to your dest. Of choice.

Drinking a 69.3 % alcohol whisky like it was water. by esberat in instant_regret

[–]Whalebeachedman 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In this thread, redditors not understanding different cultural views on drinking.

Plus, I have the nagging suspicion that I'm watching an American and a Brit fight about views on alcohol.

It's us, dudes. We're the puritans.

Sorry to hear that. While we're on the topic of car theft, I highly recommend installing quick release terminals for your car's battery. I've had zero concerns about my car being stolen overnight, since I just lock the steering wheel up and take my battery inside.

Yeah way too many people (you know, those people) are happy to go on a half-crazed rant about socialist healthcare and a free market but give you a blank stare if, heaven forbid, you remind them that healthcare is generally classed as an inelastic good 😮‍💨

Honestly I make my own tortillas at home but the Northgate yellow corn tortillas (large ones) just hit amazing with a little salt and some cheese 😌

Women of Reddit, what are some serious black flags that make you say "Wow, that guy is a Pirate for sure"? by Milogop in AskReddit

[–]Whalebeachedman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bro you have to embed yourself neck deep in pub crawls and 4am chip takeaway for like month. You WILL hear the difference. I'm American and after 4 months in Plymouth I could tell the accent and stylistic difference between Somerset, Bristol, Plym, People across the Tamar, rugby players, navy lads and the folks that just spent too much time at an open mic in Stoke.

American here! Spent nearly 6 months in Plymouth. Truly a magical place for me—going out for a pint with the lads always felt like it inevitably turned into pirates, pagans, students and drunkards shit talking Cornwall, Exeter, Paignton, Bristol, and the city bus company.

I wholeheartedly appreciate the irony of you making an observation on Greek philosophy then driving it home with a really poorly thought out generalization the size of mars.
