Essential The Official Coli Travel Thread

[Roger Sterling]

Yeah you got to go to redang for nice beaches, the perhentians has the most beautiful beaches in the world, better than the Maldives. They filmed a lot of the "The Beach" movie on there.

We do yell a lot, I don't but my family does. Our voices travel too.

Shame I missed it, in that case. I don't plan on going back to Malaysia again, lol.

Since u sending business ventures pm a nikka some too.

Nah, was just letting him know what line I'm in. Don't like putting personal stuff out on the forum.

wow...some of y'all really can't go one thread without "muh-dikking" it up huh. smh
here i was looking for legit travel locals based on more than sex...

How about some travel spots for couples?

I'm thinking of going to Aruba, but I'd like to hear some recommendations.

Close by: Check into Belize and Bermuda..beautiful and a lil more off the beaten path than the rest off the carib. Belize made me wanna move there.
A lil further away: Maldives(going next summer) and Seychelles islands both Indian Ocean hotspots.

I'm lucky enough to be reasonably well-off in terms of money and what I do for a living affords me a lot of travel opportunity, as well as long stretches of free time (to travel more).

What places surprised me the most? Tough one, so I'll touch on a few areas. China, Beijing in particular. In North America and Europe people have this pretty narrow view of how Asians are supposed to act - namely submissive, polite, whatever. This goes out the fukking window in Beijing. It's swarm upon swarm of rowdy, rude, and pushy people (literally). Subways in Beijing in the summer are insane. You can literally be swept along if you aren't careful. Waiting in line for something? There are no lines. Just pushing and shoving to get to the front, lol. Concern for the common stranger? fukk no. I saw this older guy have some sort of seizure, he fell and hit his head on the sidewalk, and people just gathered around to stare. No one made a move to help, call for assistance, anything. People just laughed. That was odd. The culture shock, honestly, was really jarring. Sometimes I felt like I was on a different planet. I didn't expect it to that extent. Good luck finding people/non-tourists outside of your hotel/tour groups/whatever that speak English, lol. Oh, also the amount of con artists running around was off-putting.

Another place that surprised me was Cambodia. Just the abject poverty, man. Especially if you're like me and don't really fukk with the guided tours and venture out on your own. You can see some real squalor. I met this one Scottish guy over there who seemed on the level and we ended up hitting various bars. We found this one really sketchy place; soon as we got inside, this enormously fat American approaches us and starts suggesting we see what sort of "merchandise" they had in the back, etc. Turns out to be a bunch of child prostitutes - ten and eleven, younger. fukking disgusting man. I felt sick to my stomach.

What place didn't live up to expectations? Malaysia, easily. That place is unequivocally a shythole. Just dilapidated architecture for the most part, rundown people, disgusting beaches. Having said that, the food was good, lol. Particularly the outdoor hawker centers. Really cheap.

Egypt is one of my favourite places I've been. I'm somewhat partial to places with rich history and that place is it. I went from Alexandria in the north, stopping in Cairo, down to Luxor and Aswan by train. Saw all those sites you see in documentaries. Crazy to actually be climbing up into the Great Pyramid in sweltering heat, hunched over and slowly moving up the shaft, lol. The food was okay and you've gotta have thick skin because all those scammers and beggars can get on your nerves. People expect a tip ("baksheesh") for everything. Someone points you in the right direction to go somewhere and they'll have their hand out a second later, heh. Just annoying but you can laugh about it too. Either way, I'd recommend it, Cairo is hot and filthy but it's got a great vibe, I've gotta say. The city doesn't sleep ever. 4AM and the streets will be crowded and noisy still.

Least favourite place? Malaysia, again. For the aforementioned reasons.

wow the "hidden beach" in that movie was beautiful...always wondered where that was filmed. good stuff.

Actually I'm mistaken, the main beach is filmed on Ko Phi Phi island near Krabi Thailand. Those limestone mountains in the ocean is just majestic. Resorts are pretty cheap there too.

1) good look fam, Ima do some research. I was gonna just book a ticket and go in 3 weeks, but I might have push it back

2) Man in HS i knew spanish fluently. I'm 29 now tho so my spanish is . That shyt came naturally to me though, so i'm guessing I can pick it up pretty quick.

3) word? damn b. i just hate being away from mi yard for that long. I've learned 4 days is my limit man. After that I'm ready to bounce. I might make an exception though, but it won't be until after July (work shyt). And I been to Miami twice, shyt was fun, but I need some stamps in my passport b. And negative on paying for ass. Never done it a day in my life, and I'm not gonna start now.

4) i'm going there to chill and show love to the island people, I'm sure ain't no one gonna mess with me. I just hate police.

I know you said 3-4 days ain't even worth it, but Ima take a chance and see what happen. Flight and hotel is a g, 500 so misc expenses (aka alcohol) and see what I can get popping.

Preciate the knowledge tho.

I'm thinking when I do go, Ima bring some friends and rent this bytch out

Bahía Herradura Herradura Bay Fantastic Vacation Getaway - Villa Firenze

10k sq feet, 5br/5ba, pool, bbq. shyt would cray!

Jaco is nice, but Quepos is better and less "touristy". Anyway, lot of yardies down there, you should feel somewhat at home. If you get the chance, should take a bus trip down to Panama City, it is literally a Latino Jamaica, straight up. Everybody is into dancehall and reggae, not reggaeton, and the music scene is hot. Imagine DR but with a Jamaican vibe, to me that is the urban Panama party scene. Post some pics later in the year when you go for kicks

Why do you have to refer to every female you come in contact with as a 'ho' or a 'bytch'? This is a little pet peeve of mine.

First off props to you for wanting to travel B, you should definitely do it, regardless of my recommendation, even if it's only to wack azz San Jose. In regards to your questions:

1) Limon is like the city, and Puerto Viejo and Cahuita are like the spots. Limon has a beach too, you can hang out just in Limon and have a good azz time. It really depends, if you are strictly an urban person, stay in Limon. But my G, my heart is in Puerto Viejo, that is one of the chillest spots on earth my ninja. The whole coast line is cool, but I have been to Cahuita personally, that's why I recommended it as well. Cahuita is really a small town, think of Portmore if you're Jamaican, it's very similar. Smaller, slower vibe, but what's nice is it's right by the beach, there are girls, and the food is cheap, healthy and excellent. I would spend at least one day in all 3 places, and just camp out in whichever one you like best.

2) Wherever you go somewhere, if you don't at least make an attempt to have some basic knowledge of the local language, you are missing out on life. It's tough to pickup chicks when you can't communicate, and especially if you're American, it usually ends up being some sort of transaction . Learn Spanish B, can pick up the local chicks, save money, and have an enhanced experience. At least the basics, if the chicks see you are trying, it turns 'em on, one of the easiest way to pickup chicks is to be lookin' like you are trying to learn the language, chicks love teachin' a brother

3) My nig, I hate to say it, but if you can only travel for a weekend, stay in Miami. If you are going out of the country, and can't stay for at least two weeks, it's not even worth it. Especially in the Limon area, it rains a lot. I don't know how you can make it happen, but you gotta get at least two weeks. If you just goin' for the weekend, it will be hard to pick up a decent chick, you might as well just pay for the hoes.

4) People smoke weed in public, and the majority of the population in Limon/Cahuita/Puerto Viejo is ethnic, nobody's messing with you. But since you Jamaican, you know how the rudebwois are, a lot of the black ancestry is from Jamaicans who migrated to work there, don't disrespect people, you might get shot.

Whatever you do, if there is one thing I can't make clear enough, you need to get more time, it's a waste to travel for just a weekend.

Yes I tell people all the time a weekend is NOT a vacation. Think about it you get there friday mid day and then you really only have like sat, to really party then fly out on sun. you aint seen shyt to really get away you have to stay atleast 5 days

I've been to Cancun, Brazil, China, London (plenty of times), Amsterdam, Switzerland, Saudi Arabia, Dubai, and a few more I dont want to say

I'm going to Panama City, Panama soon, can somebody give me some info on whats really good down there? Clubs, females, safety, what to do, what type of sh!t to bring back as gifts (no fishscale please)

I don't mess around with public transit in any Arabic/Middle Eastern country whatsoever. I have many friends from that part of the world and the stories are all the same - watch your ass. Literally!

I've never had or heard of an experience like this from anyone.



Personally I think a weekend (3 days) is more than enough to experience 1-2 cities in a foreign country.

Turkey is like Egypt - bunch of conmen trying to rip off tourists. But I'm a history buff, so I enjoyed all the sites in Istanbul, ate some great food, chilled in Izmir for a couple of days (not much there, just another city on the coastline) and then went out to Ephesus to check out the Greek/Roman ruins - standing in the theatre where Paul preached Christianity was unreal. Next trip to Turkey I'm going out to Cappadoccia and Antalya and the smaller towns along the southern coast.

Also did Morocco for 5 days - just hung out in Marrakech - that main square is dope, with so much awesome food, partied it up with some local girls we met. We then drove through to the Sahara and got high on Moroccan hash staring at the millions of stars, rode camels, rented ATVs and just fukked around. My friend made a dope video of the trip too, it's up on youtube.

I go to Hong Kong on business sometimes and enjoy the nightlife and the general energy of the city - reminds me of NYC. But it's small and having lived in a highly Asian area in Vancouver, nothing was really too new for me. However, it's much better than Singapore- that place just has no soul.

Spots that I need to do: Spain, Serbia (my bro said that place is def popping), Thailand (have to do it once), Vietnam, South Africa, Kenya/Tanzania/Zanzibar, Brazil, Costa Rica and Argentina.

My next trip is LA (I don't live in the US now) and gonna drive up the coast to SF, so looking forward to that.
