9/29/2021 10:36:11 PM I’m a notary in the state of Vermont, USA. I personally believe I can use common sense when it comes to using a passport or similar document to identify a person who is about to sign a document that needs to be notarized. But there are some notaries who believe in a […]

Visiting CERN in Switzerland

1/22/2015 12:49:08 PM CERN Individual Tours CERN organises both individual tours as well as group tours.

Claustrophobic – travelling for the first time long RSA to USA

11/5/2013 4:25:00 PM I’m claustrophobia just like you. Everytime I fly, I always try my best to get an aisle seat. I try to book way early and I avoid flights without available aisle seats when booking. Getting an aisle seat is my #1 criteria when booking a flight. I had an episode of serious […]

Can an Irish passport card be used for travel outside Europe?

7/10/2021 11:37:17 PM It’s often necessary to provide ID in situations where one wouldn’t necessarily want to use a passport. The ID card is better for everyday situations because: It’s not the end of the world if you lose it. You can still travel etc It’s less easily damaged. Waterproof, and sturdy. It’s small and […]

How to rent a car quiet on the inside – Netherlands

7/8/2021 8:31:37 AM Just some thoughts: I would get a Mercedes E, but the BMW 5xx are the same class when renting. The Mercedes is optimized for comfort and silent, the BWW is trying to be a sports car, so the tires and suspension are very hard. I think we had a Volvo XC40 once […]

3/4/2019 10:38:36 PM Despite being one of the first transit systems to introduce contactless passes (back in 2001), further development of the system has been extremely slow compared to what has been observed in many other cities, which have gone from nothing to very complete and flexible systems in a fraction of the time. Beyond […]

Can I live in Munich – Germany for a month with 500 Eur

1/29/2013 6:04:10 PM Just an addition to Ivan’s answer: The Munich Student Union has an online list of private lodging offers for students.

If I book a return journey with Wizz Air and miss the first flight, can I still take the return flight?

8/1/2017 8:07:19 AM As with some other low-cost airlines (namely Ryanair), the word “reservation” applies to the one-way ticket per person. That is, if you bought the return ticket, you have made two “reservations”. Similarly, if you bought tickets for several people, then you have several “reservations”. I confirmed this with Wizzair by phone and […]

Usage of cash in Europe during COVID

4/2/2021 11:24:05 PM In Germany, most shops still accept cash. Every Rewe, Aldi, Lidl, Famila, bakery and other grocery store I’ve been to still accepts cash. Most bakeries (except for the chains that are in train stations) only accepted cash before the pandemic and of the few that I’ve been to, one has begun to […]

12/7/2014 9:23:56 AM The intention of this answer is to serve the generic question of is name change allowed more than to answer the original poster because we don’t want duplicate questions to be improperly answered.
