4/26/2013 8:57:25 PM I asked around on the InterNations Santiago community, and I came across a couple of additional suggestions: Giratorio Restaurant is probably exactly what you are looking for. The restaurant is located in Providencia on the 16th floor, and it rotates to afford a 360° view of the city. According to SantiagoGourmet.com, it’s […]

I've been told one state in the US is the easternmost, westernmost and northernmost state. How to visit the points?

4/28/2016 3:57:22 AM The answer depends on how the question is asked. GPS coordinates (i.e., longitude and latitude) are: Pochnoi Point, Semisopochnoi Island, Alaska 51°57’42″N 179°46’23″E Amatignak Island, Alaska 51°16’7″N 179°8’55″W Thereby making the point in the U.S. that is the farthest east Pochnoi Point and the point in the U.S. that is farthest west […]

What does it mean when a flight is delayed due to a "tail swap", if anything?

3/11/2012 2:43:21 AM Aircraft are scheduled by some airlines based on “tail numbers”, which is the registration of the aircraft, which is displayed on the aircraft either on or (normally) below/slightly in front of the tail. For larger planes in the US, these numbers start with the letter “N”, and then are normally followed with […]

3/12/2014 7:19:26 PM I am from Brazil and I will try to help you. According to “Departamento Estadual de Trânsito de São Paulo” (Sao Paulo State Transit Department), here what they say about foreigner citizen driving in Brazil: Portuguese: “Ao ingressar no país, o condutor estrangeiro poderá dirigir com a Carteira de Habilitação do país […]

Scotland in one week: What to see and do?

3/13/2012 3:48:18 PM Scotland is a big place and there is allot to see in every location. Additionally, the roads on the west coast, such as in Skye, are not fast roads. They twist and turn around mountains and lochs. 20 miles as the crow flies could work out as 100 miles of actual driving. […]

Getting from Livorno Centrale station to Moby ferry

4/2/2013 6:54:55 AM That should be manageable. Take the bus number 1 from the train station to Piazza Grande. From there it is a short walk to the terminal. The price of the bus ticket is 1.20 EUR. Schedules can be found here: http://www.atl.livorno.it How should one go about organising a skiing/snowboarding holiday for a […]

How should one go about organising a skiing/snowboarding holiday for a large group of people?

3/27/2013 5:33:30 PM The problem with arranging a group trip involving anyone other than close friends is that you (as the organiser) can easily be left out of pocket or worse if things go wrong; people can and will cancel at the last minute, pull out without telling you, miss their flights, trash their rooms […]

What if you don't get an ETA for a flight to Australia?

2/25/2012 7:16:08 PM The “E” in ETA stands for “Electronic”, and that pretty much refers to the entire process. Not only do you apply electronically (eg, on the ETA website), but the airlines are responsible for electronically checking that you have obtained an ETA or a Visa. Presuming that your previous flights to Australia have […]

How do we get from Fethiye/Dalaman to Cappadocia by bus?

11/27/2016 11:28:16 PM Nice! I have done a similar trip 5 years ago. From Fethiye to Nevşehir is at least 13 hours by bus. If there are direct buses they are not very frequent. Anyway, it makes sense to split the trip! We went from Nevşehir to Fethiye via Konya and Antalya. To give you […]

Is it safe to stay outside the Boulevard Périphérique in Paris?

2/13/2019 2:58:23 PM French guy living in Paris here. I would go against most advices here and say that if i were you, i would avoid the whole nort-east part of Paris. There is a reason why the hotel cost is so low. More specifically, I would avoid going in Saint-Denis and near Porte de […]

Why do I feel pressure in the ears in a plane?

2/8/2012 12:48:42 PM Firstly if the plane is pressurised then you are right, the pressure in your ears should be constant. However the pilot is able to adjust the cabin pressure, it is this that that is causing the barotrauma. Pilots do this to cause people to feel sleepy (by lowering the cabin pressure). If […]

How to visit Wieliczka salt mines and the Auschwitz KZ from Krakow?

How to visit Wieliczka salt mines and the Auschwitz KZ from Krakow?

4/28/2020 2:15:06 PM As users before suggested – it’s quite difficult to make it in one day, but it is possible. From Krakow to Wieliczka it’s not very far, but there can be traffic. Traffic between Wieliczka and Oswiecim is also quite “difficult”, and it would be more then hour one way. For Wieliczka – […]

Where can I find a local guide for Japan?

3/25/2013 12:03:17 AM They are called Goodwill Guides. Your description is spot on. They only want to have travel etc paid for. But you will not only find students but also retirees and housewives. I know one page with a huge list. Here is another one of such sites that covers several areas of Japan. […]

Can we bring a stroller on DC Metrorail?

3/22/2013 8:32:27 PM I don’t see any reason why you wouldn’t be able to. Links w.r.t the subject: Rules and Manners Blog in Washington Post Similar question on Yelp Generally speaking strollers during rush hour are annoying because they take up too much space and one has to be careful around them so not to […]

Driving in U.S. (Hawaii) with EU license written in Czech

3/22/2013 4:22:08 AM As Karlson pointed out already, the Hawaiian law does not require you to have an international drivers license. Additionally, your drivers license is rather obvious in terms of clarity to understand what it means. However, I would still highly recommend you to get a IDL. You might run into a policeman who […]

How to avoid having my drink spiked in a bar

6/10/2013 7:01:03 AM I would go further and say this is incredibly unlikely – if anywhere is going to sting you on cost they will do it ‘legitimately’ (that is, ‘sitdown’ charges, cover fees, high drink prices, ‘door’ charges etc). I have a friend who works in a hostess bar, and whilst the concept is […]

How can I contact 'lost and found' to in enquire on a lost laptop in Dubai Airport?

3/21/2013 1:25:27 AM There are a few steps when it comes to this, and indeed I even overheard airport staff in Calgary yesterday discussing this. If it’s lost on the plane, then you speak to the airline. That’s the only time it’s worth contacting them. If it’s lost in the airport, you need to deal […]
