New Yorkers aren’t rude, that’s a big misconception. I’m out here now saying “excuse me” and “my bad” and all I get are smiles from women.

In Costa Rica at the moment. Going home tomorrow 
I've never seen such a beautiful sunset.

Not Rude per se but definitely "aggressive" or more forward compared to the rest of America.
In NYC it's not uncommon to see people yelling at Taxi drivers for driving on the crosswalk at a red light.
Parisians seem "rude" from a state of contempt or "I'm better than you" phase which really rubs people off the wrong way.
Either way Nigeria is far was. nikkas don't have time for you and some nikkas think they shyt don't stink.
What's a good budget for 10 nights in Europe (3 in London, 3 in Amsterdam, 4 in Paris)?
Not budget per se, but not popping bottles? Just seeing the sights and catching the vibes. Go out in each city at least one night I'm there. Maybe do a little shopping if I see something nice e.g. the France 2018 WC 2-Star Jeresey etc. Check out one nice/decent restaurant while I'm there etc.
For context: My Flight, Eurostar tickets, and accommodation will all be covered before I get there. This is simply money to spend on ground.
I've seen on travel sight people say $100-$120 a day is pretty good budget that will allow you do a lot without the trip getting crazy expensive.
Any thoughts?
Side note: I'll be linking up in London with one of my best friends from High school in Nigeria. Our reunion has been 6 years in the making

Yea 1000 Euro should definitely be enough
London gone be way more expensive tho
I'd say 1500 to be safe if u wanna do some light shopping
1,500 Euros or Dollars? I'll probably have about $1,750 USD for the trip, which is about 1,500 Euros.
I know London will be more expensive but I'll mitigate most of that cost by hanging with my boy (free meals etc). I'm not really in London to sight-see, more just kick it with some old homies and hit some spots. Amsterdam and Paris will be where I spend more bread. In Paris I may pick up some dress shoes for work and may be a few souvenirs here and there.
In Amsterdam I just wanna bike the city man. I heard it's one of the most bikeable cities out there.
These Eurostar tickets a little funny man. How can I get $60 plane tickets but train tickets are in the 100s

Yea but not for nothing, train rides are fun in Europe if u go with your homies. Y'all get a bottle and just act a fool the whole time.
I'd still rather fly but if it's just 2-3 hrs away by train, it might be better assuming you're going with homies
And yeah 1500 Euro should be good. Manage your money right and u can shop with a cool 5-700 of that and still have bread for food/clubbing/etc
This your first time going to Europe?
I'm going solo on this trip. Not my first time in Europe, been to the UK about 4 times and Netherlands when I was much younger. Brief stint in Germany and Switzerland, but more like a long transit rather than a planned visit. This will be my first time as an adult in continental Europe though.
I'm just budgeting this trip in the same way I would if I were spending a day in NYC (arguably more expensive than Paris and Amsterdman, debatable for London).
I think I have a very good budget but it won't be like in South Africa and Kenya where I was eating steak for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
The American dollar on the African soil a straight up cheat code

Bro how did u like Kenya?
Did you hit the westlands spots I told u about?
Kenya was dope bro. I slight notch below South Africa, but I think part of it was in how I came in. For SA, I got in Sat around like 2pm to a bustling and live Maboneng, I was jumping with excitement. For Kenya I got in late on a Sunday night and most places were dead. I was also mad tired from my flight. I still had a blast though, the trip got better as it went on. Also, it was peak rainy season so that did damper things a tad.
SA - 9.5/10, Kenya 8.5/10.
I'm not too sure I remember where you suggested but the places I hit were
Brew Bistro (best spot)
J's
Sankara Rooftop Bar
Art Cafe Lavington
The Alchemist
Black Diamonds (went there the first night I got in just to grab a few beers and relax a bit. This is the spot to go to if you need a little company for the night
)Overall great trip. Will definitely do it again but this time I'd do it as part of a greater East African tour of Kenya, Rwanda (heard Kigali is amazing), Uganda and Tanzania. I'm really just glad to expand my African horizons outside of Nigeria. I got a little bit of Southern Africa, East Africa and West. Now to do Central and North. North will be easy when you got a country like Morocco, but these Central African countries tho
Cameroon
Central African Republic
DR Congo
Angola

Brew was definitely the spot. Went there like 3 times. A lot of baddies out Nairobi, especially from Uganda. Met this one architect in Westlands, we went to Brew and had a great time. Only problem was I met her on the tail end of my journey
Luanda is very nice as I've heard, mad mad pricey though.

So I just made the move to Germany on Monday but I'm out in the sticks. Hopping on the train to Nuremberg this weekend for a quick trip then hitting Berlin labor day weekend.
What's a good app to use for travel around Europe? I tried the Eurostar but they have nothing originating in Germany. And I'm guessing Airbnb is the way to go as opposed to hotels? It's gonna just be me for a while until I find some cats at work that I can vibe with.
