Imagine a situation where time until travel is limited, i.e. two weeks. Duration of the trip is only a few days. English will not be widely spoken and foreign language skills are decent but not great, in this case Spanish.

I won't be able to run complicated routines like the Cube or make complex observations about things like the differences in clothing I've noticed.

Many on this forum have traveled to places where they don't know the language and have tried to get laid. Some have succeeded.

I'm going to be asked the obvious questions:
Where are you from?
Why are you here?
How do you know Spanish?
What do you do?
How long are you here for?

These are some answers I'm going to translate and practice:
"I'm from New York City - where some of the most beautiful women in the world live - models, actresses, dancers. Not like here."
"I'm here for a vacation. I've noticed that people here are much friendlier than in New York. There must be something in the water. Cheers!"
"I studied Spanish for two years in high school, and one semester in college at my university in New York City, where I now live."
"I work on a documentary film. I'm director and producer. It is a passion of mine. What types of movies are popular here?"
"One week. Do you think it's enough time to find the love of my life?" (said w/ a smile) - not sure about this line ...

Other lines to build attraction:
"You are the cutest girl I've seen in the last five minutes."
"Your eyes are the most beautiful in Mexico... but I've only been here two days."
"So what qualities do you have that would make me want to know you better?" (said w/ a smile after ioi's - from Roosh's guide, Bang Colombia)

Enough about me although suggestions are welcome.

I'm wondering if in your travels, you find yourself relying more on certain lines and routines.

What is the heck is the cube? Are we talking about the movie where they need to figure out the prime numbers to make it out alive?

And lines don't build attraction man. It doesn't matter what you say. It's how you physically look, how you speak, how you present yourself, and how you dress that builds attraction. You can say whatever you want as long as it's in context and not creepy.

With my second bang in Colombia, we went on a date at Hooters in Cali, and every time she said something, I would look at her and smile and say, "te amo,." It was the only Spanish I knew. Thirty minutes later, we were fucking.

I have a great line for overseas: "Hello [smile]".

Not knowing the language causes two problems: not being able to demonstrate intelligence as effectively (no humour, no interesting stories or complicated concepts/extended vocabulary) and thus less attractive than you could be, and not being able to build rapport (aka 'comfort') as easily.

A smartphone is a good tool to help with this. Take a good smartphone, get a sim card with the fastest internet and best coverage when you arrive. Now you can use pictures in your conversation. Pictures are universal. You can also translate individual words (google translate is almost useless for anything more, and still gets individual words wrong sometimes). Also smile and touch plenty when appropriate - both universal ways of building her comfort with you.
