And more, what drugs are allowed there except weed?

And what are terms of living? As far as I know the have to pay for living now.
Come on, dudes from Denmark.

Not the other guy, but still Dane
If you want to move in on Christiania you have to be voted in by the community, and there has to be spare room/appartment/construction space for you to move in.

NO HARD DRUGS ARE ALLOWED, they are very adamant about this, and even though the organised crime people who sell weed and hash might get you some hard drugs you shouldn't do it out of respect for the culture of the place.

There are other hippie communities, like the Thy Camp (which set precedent for Christiania if I remember correctly)
http://www.123hjemmeside.dk/thylejren/20987115
But they have a pause in taking in new people.

Christiania is nice and all, but full of Bike Gangers, immegrant gangbangers, drunk greenlanders and all sorts of people. It's not the hippie paradise it might have tried to be 30 years ago, now it is just full of rifraf, with shootouts, beatings and all kinds of shit.

However, as a normal person going there to buy weed, you won't get hassled, exccept by the police who are more vigilant now than ever and really putting pressure on the organised crime.

>>26152

>drunk greenlanders

At first I was all...WTF? That's a weird minority to have.

Then I remember that you guys still technically own that useless chunk of North America.

>>26152
Ok, thanks, bro.
But still there are some more questions.
1) What drugs are considered to be hard? Are mushrooms and acid hard drugs in their opinion?
2) I'd like to visit it first time temporary and watch situatuon there, may be next year when I have money. Any advices about?

>>25911
Geo Metros are cheap as shit on craigslist. Just saying.

Keep in mind if you expand the model year you're looking at to some older stuff, you can get a whole fucking lot more car for your money. Older cars are actual cars too, not plastic boxes. You feel the road way more, there's no electronics second guessing your driving, it's a different experience that you quickly learn to like a lot more than floaty shittiness. One of the reasons people bitch about driving all the time nowadays is because cars tend to be plastic, automatic, 4 cylinder driven hatchbacks that inspire no emotion whatsoever. So yeah, the cars you've listed are somewhat disparate, and the only ones that are going to be cheap enough for you to keep are the Saturn and the Geo, both of which aren't all that nice. I wouldn't trust a Focus to not break down due to the European influence in it's design, even if it's nice to drive, and I definitely wouldn't trust a VW. Is there any reason you're so attracted to 4 cylinder hatchbacks?

>>25921
isn't there a way you can turn off the ecm or whatever it's called?

Pretty neat , looka' dis swap , an EG sporting a F20C and converted to RWD

>>26144

Yeah, that sounds link of pricey for that car- I don't think they're too hard to work on. And you won't necessarily need an alignment. It might not be a bad idea if it's been a while since you had one, or if the car tracks funny after having the work done.

>>26148
Most people don't own a 12-ton shop press, and most bearings on most modern cars are pressed in.

>>26144
A 2005 car should not need new wheel bearings yet. Well, it might, but that sucks for you OP.
Those prices sound through the roof aswell! I'm in Australia(but our cost of living is way higher than in the states) and they would never charge that much to fit new wheel bearings, maybe half that. $100 for a wheel alignment is on the high side as well.
Shop around OP. The mechanic probably realised you were a bit clueless about cars and is trying to stiff you.

>>26178
Well, there's a grinding noise when releasing the breaks at low speeds, and I thought it was the breaks, but apparently those are fine, and he said it was the wheel bearings.

Yeah, I'll try to find a cheaper place then, thanks

>>26185
I'm not sure about the grinding noise thing. I've had 2 wheel bearings replaced on cars in the 14 years I've been driving. Both times I just knew they needed doing because there was a rotational squeaking noise coming from the offending bearing.

>>26178

a 2005 model year is 8-9 years old now, that's certainly plenty of time for wheel bearings to wear out. My car is built off a Mazda BG platform (OP's is a BK platform) and I get around 4-6 because of the rough roads in my area. Of course, I replace them when they start to wear before they become a safety problem. There's a lot of factors to it too; amount of driving, condition of roads traveled, driving style, and even the design of the vehicle of size of the bearing.

>>26153
the more i re read that the more spelling and grammatical errors i read. like i didnt mean 2wd is bad i mean rwd is bad and would have liked to add a few more cars he should look at. either way its a decent post

1990 Hatch Civic
40 mpg
cheap parts
easy to work on
under $2000

>>26157
Copy, paste, revise, post. I really had only skimmed the post myself, because I've seen this thread so many times on here. The pic took me less than 5 mins to make in MSPaint, so that's nothing to re-make. With how often this topic comes up I think it would be awesome for this community (and any others this may find it's way to) to have some standard response to this question, and you were definitely headed in the right direction.

>>26158
I still see those (very reliable and economical) shitboxes cruising around where I live in northern VT where cars rust out and in a hurry. It's too bad they don't make them like that any more; new civics are crap.

>>26104
get a YARIS AND BE A HUGE environmentally friendly driver.

or you could man up and get a suped up crown vic like the cops ride in.

>>26104
Get a Grand Marquis or a Crown Vic. Perfect for stoners. Barry Cooper's car of choice for smuggling drugs.

Does anyone know how far is Berlin from Amsterdam? I'm gonna be spending some time there and it'd be pretty awesome to buy my weed legally on Amsterdam. Although I guess most weed in Germany comes from Netherlands right?

>>26085
Why would you do that? weed is semi legal in berlin and it's easy as fuck to buy it. You'll propably get it cheaper in berlin if you find a decent dealer.

>>26085
>>26113
Yeah dude, I'm Dutch and even though I'd love to say otherwise, Berlin is completely self sufficient on that aspect. And it's a few hundred mlles by the way, a day's worth of travelling by train.

>>26119
Yeah I looked it up on the map and it's pretty fucking far, I just feel like in Europe everywhere is a couple hours top by train obviously I'm dead wrong. I just like the idea of being able to pick my weed from a shelf, but I guess that grows old pretty fast

>>26124
Paris to London in 2 hours. Paris Munich was around 8-9 I think. So, not too wrong. NB

Where in the Dae Han are you? I spent three years in Seoul/Goyang...it was okay, enjoyed the money and traveling (living there was kinda meh). I heard that they shit-canned everyone in the SMOE & GEPIK with like zero notice, typical fucking Korea. Guess that gravy train is over, it was getting worse every year. After a decade of wage stagnation it has gotten to the point that you can save roughly the same amount in a tier one city in China with a hell of a lot less bullshit, better food, actual interesting things to see/do and readily available hash. Or go to J land and not save fuck all but live in weeabo paradise. Looking forward to going back to Asia once I finish teachers college.

>>26011
I actually live in Paju which is about 40 minutes north of Seoul. I used to work at a hagwon in Suwon before breaking contract; hagwons are terrible!

As for GEPIK, they're changing the structure and getting rid of English teachers in high school. I think they're still keeping them in middle school and elementary but they might get rid of those programs too. The new president wants to change the infrastructure and have the Koreans teach English.

I'm actually looking at teaching university here in Korea or in Japan for a tick. We'll see how things'll go.

>>26070

Ahh yes, Paju, I know it well. Being so close to the DMZ you guys are our frontline of future Best Korea kindy hagwon teachers if they ever decide to invade.

Yeah I did a year in a hagwon, dire times they were. 28 contracts hours a week at 50min/h, 4 hours straight of kindy classes on Saturdays starting at 8:00 am (plus a leisurely two teaching completely uninterested middle schoolers in the afternoon). I wouldn't wish that shit on my worst enemy. A sick apartment and fraternizing with the adult students was the only worthwhile thing of that shitty job.

Then I moved to a public elementary which was pretty good. Their level was abysmal and the curriculum sucked balls, but the students were generally interested to be there. The principal was infinitely impressed by my capacity to drink beer, eventually I got my own office/English corner which no one ever visited. 20h a week, lots of vacations (never had to do desk warming and only a week of camps in summer/winter). I miss it. Budget cuts were getting ridicolous by the end though, I had something like man won allocated for supplies for the year. I kind of agree with them cutting the program though. They need to take a RBM look at the whole thing. It costs them something like 40-50 million won a year to bring in the dirty foreigner and not a whole lot to show for it. I doubt that they'll ever have enough qualified Koreans to teach English. Opening the doors to more Indians and Filipinos would work, or I can see it going somewhere along the lines of Japan with the dispatch slaves. They are going to have a hard time attracting certified teachers (I mean beyond a rinky dink celta) without bumping up pay considerable (like Hong Kong, Brunei, Kazakhstan or the UAE). They are far too cheap to do anything like that.

Yeah universities are definitely the way to go. I have a few friends teaching at some proper ones (not uni-gwons). The pay isn't spectacular considering what a fresh-meat hagwon teacher makes, but they worked 15h/wk and had 3-4 months paid holidays, nothing to sneeze at.

Well enjoy your time there and have a bottle of Prime Max for me (or better yet, don't).

>>26080

I wanted to work at a public school but after seeing how things are now a days, I'm like "Nah, not this time". I'm hoping I can get the university gig. Heck, i'm hoping my media stuff will work out. If I can teach and do media, that would be the best. I can use both skills and turn it into something.

In fact, I had a chance to meet Dante Carver while I was in Japan last month. Dante is an American actor living in Japan and is SUPER popular over there because of his ability to speak Japanese. The fact that he's a black man that's widely loved AND can speak Japanese is an astonishment.

If anyone here has any questions they'd like to know about Korea from a foreigner's point of view, please ask so I can work on future episodes of a new show.

Go windsurfing or Kiting, if you can't, then learn to do it

Not get murdered by rich Dutch people.

Forgot to put, I ask because I don't know if it's a good idea to buy a car knowing it's going to the mechanics since I don't know when it'll be rideable / reliable.

"This posting has been deleted by its author."

Looks like someone beat you to it bro. Sorry.

Whoever bought it probably did you a huge favor

I've seen those trikes in the background in a lot of videos from China, but something tells me they're mostly custom jobs. But yeah, I'm not sure what sort of regulations would apply to an RV motorcycle, but I can't imagine it'd be very easy to get it registered, regardless of whether or not you got something shipped over or actually built it yourself. If it's got an engine, it has to be registered, and make no mistake that cops who you puttered by would probably not literally not able to help themselves in terms of fucking with you any way they could. Even if they're not assholes in any capacity, I can tell you right now that those things are not safe in any sense of the word, there's a reason only chinks in chinky china ride them.

>>26042

Yeah you're right, I guess I should be sensible. That thing is so top-heavy it would fail'n'bail constantly. Motorizing it would be to avoid the struggle of actually pulling it, but it makes more sense to pack the basics into a bag and just sleep outside. Those 3-wheelers would be pretty good for cross-country drifting with survival equipment.

This is probably the best option.

Keep in mind too, that this shit is in China. That may be literally where they live. I mean, if you stay on the flats and are in an urban area, I could see something like this being possible for a nomadic existence in the metroplex. Just park it and chain it up and sleep when you need to, etc.

>>26071
would be fucking hilarious to steal someones house while they are asleep inside it
