My parents decided to drop another bombshell and tell me that I wasn't old enough for the Eurotrip. They said this while they were watching that King Kong movie (wow, nice way to show me that you're taking things seriously, guys). They made it very short. I can't go because I'm too young. I need to wait a few more years.
Then they went back to King Kong.
I sat around, hoping to begin my counterattack after the movie ended at 12. Turns out that when the time finally came I didn't speak at all. I just let them get up and go to sleep.
I can't sleep.
I have the lessening EU crime rate, maybe someone from GZF could be around in Europe to help us out a bit, I'm going with a person who has experience in travelling alone.
And they said, I can't go because I'm just too young and I'm too young to go anywhere without teacher or parent supervision. That's an opinion. Based on feeling. I can't see them changing it. Maybe I'm a coward but I just can't see anything. My opinion is simply not trusted (remember how I'm a stranger?) and as we all know, everyone ignores facts and evidence when they feel like it. They feel like it. They feel like they feel like it.
I really think we should start hunting for a replacement person now; failing that you guys go with Giant to visit our close neighbours. Even if it's Malaysia, my father used the word "anywhere", so yeah.
If one of you is willing to help talk to my parents (remember that I'm a stranger, and you're a stranger, and the media makes all teenagers look like fucking dumbasses) it'd be cool, but I doubt they'd take you seriously. If Dash really lives in Germany and can personally assist or something, I'll bring it up to my parents but I'm not hopeful.
Anyway, screwed for tomorrow's exams. Didn't study much. Slacked. Found this convo on GZF between two fellow mods:
Gotta love those nights when someone decides to continuously make alts and post porn everywhere.
Yeah, 3:30 in the morning and taking out nudes. Unfortunately, not in a relieving way. Terrible.

Eurotrip + Overseas buddehs
Watching a chick fuck a chair, I suspect, would be less fun than watching Mikana sit on a chair.

According to the above link, EU crime has been going down for ten years. Gonna use this as my trump card.
Talked to my father in the car. He said he would feel a lot better if we had a local buddy to serve as a guide or something. He was okay with Thailand as long as Siri could guide us around. WTF.
And yeah, they still feel that closer is better.

"insert country" trip
If Noseh's parents would actually allow him to go anywhere in Asia, theses are some of the places we'd be looking at...although Eurotrip is still t3h 1337 if he can convince his parents we're all independent and sensible people.

Eurotrip participation under very serious question
No, actually, that's an understatement. My parents have basically forbidden me to go.
I dunno if they're real fags or what, but they dropped the bombshell on me this morning when I was groggy and wincing at the oil in my roti prata. They say I can't go.
It was one of the few conversations we still have that isn't about the water pump, or tuition fees, or "your allowance is on the table". This is, in brief terms, what they said (father did most of the talking):
My lack of experience
I could get robbed, or worse (they purposefully did not elaborate)
The EU is very far away
Going with something like a tour group is much safer
Us being in a small group makes us vulnerable (I asked: What's a big group? His answer: 20 people)
They don't feel comfortable
My mother cried (her only contribution to the conversation), "It's winter!" (My father said, it's not about winter)
He doesn't care if TOFU has gone to China alone; he doesn't care about experience
But after probing further, he said it is about experience: Except by his standards we're too young to have any (he didn't actually say that, but he did say stuff about our age, and I know him just well enough - this fits in with the kind of person he is)
He doesn't want to meet with TOFU/Panzerz and discuss.
Okay, while I'm still suitably groggy and detached, here's a few extra things I think were relevant:
They don't trust me (my father said it to my face before)
And by association, they don't trust you, you, or you
They are people who adhere strongly to social law (which means you can't go overseas by yourself without your parents at age 16, because that's unheard of)
My mother is the worry-spammer, my father is the one who thinks about more practical stuff (but he's still a prude)
Again, they don't trust me. I've been growing distant from them very quickly, and since my mother's free ice-cream and twisties aren't working, I imagine that my disappearance to EU would only rub in their loss more (My mother is particularly upset about this). They understand me about as much as they understand a dog. We're strangers, and my parents definitely do not trust strangers (which is all of us here at PFort).
They have the impression I'm doing badly in my studies? Not so sure about this. My F9 in Chinese doesn't faze them any longer, and they have no idea about my DPA or anything else going on in my life. Their only clues are the report card (which isn't that bad IMO) and my addiction to TF2.
Once again, I reiterate:
They have no desire to talk to Panzer and TOFU
Me and my parents have a very bad relationship; I can't talk to my mother at all and can barely talk to my father.
They were adverse to the idea of letting me meet Ryan last year. Ryan was the webmaster of GunZFactor, lives in the US, and is about 20 plus. They were afraid he was going to pedo me (since it's a known cliche that every friend you have on the internet is a 45-year old in disguise, THANK YOU MOTHERFUCKING DUMBASS MEDIA). Despite that he was inviting me to the grand opening of Hellgate: London (which had a fuckload of people there).
Simply, they're kiasu/kiasee, and they're paranoid. They're very very wary of being deceived.
They're also scared of being robbed
What's my next move?
Get your parents to vouch for your street-smarts?
Come up with a bunch of statistics that say EU (or just the places we're going to) is damn safe?
Postpone trip to somewhere far away in the future?
Go somewhere closer to home?
Tell them that I'm an adventurous faggot, I'm planning on going to even more dangerous places like the Middle East and they're not going to cage me forever so they might as well let me out now?
Go on without me?
Also for the record, I am trying to be able to provide financial support whether or not I'm going.

Operation Continent Jump
So Panzerz and me went to Singapore Expo to check out eurotrip.
Here are the stuff we managed to sniff out.
We got a tentative flight date of 19 November on SQ334 (Departure)
and, we got a landing date of 5th December on SQ 325.
We checked out the prices of transportation. The flight would cost us $1900 on Singapore Airlines.
Eurorail passes for 3 countries would cost us 300 euros. The pass would allow us access to the railroads to enter 3 coutries within a 2 month period. The travel agency would book all the train tickets for us and all we need to do is arrive at the right train station on time and take our trains out.
So the total cost of our transport would be roughly around S$2300+. Factoring in our survival cost, the entire trip is estimated to cost around S$3500 or so. Plus minus around there. Minor details to be ironed out, and as soon as we get those done, europe awaits us.
We still have the booking of hostels left to do. Thats quite crucial. When I say backpack, I didn't meant sleeping on the streets in WINTER. So we need a hostel where we can link up with cute girls from all over the world. (pun)
Lets get the stuff ironed out ASAP and booked out tickets. That way, we can concentrate on our exams knowing that Europe awaits us after finishing those papers.

Good old alcohol
Warning : alcoholic content, literally
Let me introduce you to Jägermeister. Its a German hard liquor which I intend to try when I go to Europe. The urban myth is that it is made up of Elk's Blood. Its alcohol content is about 35%. The preperation for this liquor is a trade secret and this is one of Germany's most hearalded liquors. Cheers to heavy drinkers. Oh wait. I mean, damn you, damn the drunkards!
pass me another bottle honey, the Jäger is so sweet.
It is usually taken with Red Bull. What they do is they knock shots of Jäger into about 200ml of Red Bull? And it is consumed chilled. Chuck the XO. Get drunk on information.
People have been known to get really nauseous from this overwhelming drink. The thing is, it is unlikely for you to find it in any other part of the world except Germany, and maybe Europe.
