Had no luck on Contiki, but did on G Adventures.

You'll never catch me on either of these. Shitty way to travel IMO.

In other news, my bank card got replaced after a lengthy argument that amounted to:

Them: This is not your passport.

Me: Yes, it is. I just grew a beard.

Them: Prove it.

Me: ...

Them: Show us other ID!

Me: What other ID would I have? My scuba license is here.

Them: This is not you. No beard.

Me: Both of these are over 5 years old.

Them: You stole this passport. We will keep it and call police.

Me: (Getting agitated) You will not keep my f**king passport. Do your f**king job.

Them: Huh?

Me: How thick is this glass? (I asked my student to translate this)

Them: We will open a new account for you.

Me: I need the money from the old account.

Them: Okay. We will transfer it to the new account.

Me: But you think I stole the passport?

Them: Yes.

Me: But you'll give me this other person's money anyway?

Them: Yes.

I've found that works in 95% of social situations.

I swear every thread in the NRL forum is trolling me personally. I've been doing well not to get caught in the web but they keep drawing me in.

I'm yet to travel overseas anywhere over than New Zealand, but from friends/acquaintances who have, the women seem to f**k a lot more than the men on those tours/trips. Like, a lot more. Even the girls that never really f**ked over here blew the sleaziest guys I know (I'm talking 50+) out of the water. Weird.

I love it. My friends don't travel since they are all settled with kids. And I love the fact that my accommodation and travel is booked and out of the way, so no stress. All I have to do is travel to locations, drink booze, and act like a tit around strangers for a few weeks...

Girls abroad lose their f**king minds and morals. It's insane.

Not every one of them, obviously, but so many of them 'finding themselves'.

i was 24 on my first contiki and ended up frequently shagging a 19 year old with massive bewbs that doesn't put out much in the real world. That's with her doing the approaching and me just standing at the bar on the 2nd night of the trip

Couldn't tune a radio

I still can't. I go bright red, can't make eye contact, the works.

Fml.

This was me before I got a decent run of form. You'd be surprised how quickly your confidence builds with a bit of clunge.

 

[Twizzle]

Dont think Dani needs any clunge

Is she sure? Can't knock it until you've tried it. I reckon it goes alright.

Catch 22.

 

[Misanthrope]

Catch 22.

Not really. You don't really need to be doing the work. Just be at a bar and look approachable.

You don't have RBF, do you?

 

[Dani]

:lol:

Probably do.

13/15/15 here

Wasnt a whole lot of time between the last 2. One of my sisters friends who was 19 at the time

Nice, nice...

Contiki is your friend

If you fail to close the deal on a bus around Euro/US/NZ when the girl to guy ratio is upwards of 15 to 1 and alcohol is always present, then you need to trade in your man card

I've hard as. As shit as contiki might be for the whole "planned/budget" purpose, I'm considering doing one when I finish my studies abroad. Might just go it solo, or with someone from over there....

I've heard many good stories of contiki...well yeah.

Exactly how does that work? Genuine curiosity here. I've heard stories that the guys basically do not work and the girls jump on. I thought they were exaggerated but it sounds like there might be some truth?

From what I heard, might be slightly exaggerated in some cases, but it's still pretty good.

Girls abroad lose their f**king minds and morals. It's insane.

Not every one of them, obviously, but so many of them 'finding themselves'.

:lol: This I can agree to. A girl I was talking to who was studying here from England said she has gone wild over here.

This was me before I got a decent run of form. You'd be surprised how quickly your confidence builds with a bit of clunge.

Even using other areas you are confident in, to transcend it into social/flirty confidence. Just work on your strengths.

Not really. You don't really need to be doing the work. Just be at a bar and look approachable.

You don't have RBF, do you?

She doesn't have rubidium fluoride?

I'm pretty bad at picking up hawt ass chicks aka my blowup dolls.

RBF = Resting bitch face

I was being a smart ass. :lol:

I know you were, but wasn't sure if it was commonly known among other forumites or not.
