Avoiding human trafficking when getting a massage in Japan

Avoiding human trafficking when getting a massage in Japan

1/14/2018 4:15:03 AM What jpatokal says is true, except the part about what you’ll get if you order up a massage from your hotel. I don’t know how many times he’s done that, but I have done it twice so far (from onsen type hotel) and that wasn’t my experience either time. First time was […]

What is a good town to use as a base to explore the Speyside region of Scotland

What is a good town to use as a base to explore the Speyside region of Scotland

8/20/2014 7:01:15 PM Abelour – Craigellachie is kind of the heart of the matter as you’ll likely want to go to the “major” items like Macallan. For another view, don’t forget Scotland is both bonnie and pretty compact … you could very much just stay in Aberdeen. It’s only an hour or two drive. (Stunningly […]

What does a French strike warning of 3 hours 59 minutes mean exactly?

1/25/2016 9:46:10 PM Strikes are often arranged by the union leaders to begin at X:01 so that the workers have to arrive, so that in turn they have workers on hand to picket.

What's the difference between the North Rim and the South Rim? (Grand Canyon)

1/25/2016 1:27:52 AM Services on the North Rim will be mostly shut by the time you arrive, they end in October (through pay at pump gas is still available some places). The road itself stays open in November until enough snowfall accumulates to close it, then it remains closed until spring. There will be no […]

Is it possible to apply for a Mongolian visa outside one's home country?

5/16/2016 11:14:59 AM I’ve applied for and received a visa at the Mongolian Embassy in Bangkok and found the whole process to be straightforward. The following applied (may 2014): I’m a Dutch citizen. Visa application before 11AM, pick-up 3 work-days later after 4PM. Costs 1705 Bath per visa/person. The application form can be requested via […]

What is Rule 240 in Air Travel?

8/24/2012 7:42:46 PM By being able to quote “Rule 240” you’re a step ahead of the crowd. This is particularly true in the United States, less so in most other parts of the world. The U.S. is very consumer friendly. Being “bumped” is an “unfriendly” act, for which the passenger is deemed to deserve compensation. […]

What are my options for long term parking at Paris Charles de Gaulle?

2/20/2012 11:58:45 PM Why don’t you take the train to the airport? Less risk of missing the flight because of traffic jams, detours, sudden snow storms or construction sites, and you can leave your car at home where you don’t have to pay parking fees. I disagree that “the parking lot looked really secure, i.e. […]

Where in Europe can I pay to fire guns or have military experience?

5/28/2013 6:39:15 AM Celeritas Shooting Club in Hungray is top shelf. It may look a bit dodgy, when you’re driving towards it in the taxi, it’s like a scene out of Hostel but it ended up being the most wonderful experience of the trip trying all the guns from pistols, shotguns to heavy machine guns.

How does Austria's suspension of Schengen affect travellers (both EU and non-EU)?

1/18/2016 9:12:17 AM In Austria you are not required legally to have/carry any passport/id. You are, on the other hand, required to carry a passport/id when crossing the border. Also, you are required to be able to identify yourself with appropriate documents. So what this means in practice is, that if the police stops you […]

Are there plans to reopen the cable cars / aerial tramways in Tbilisi Georgia?

9/13/2013 4:49:20 PM Yes, there are plans to reopen at least two of them. The cable car mentioned in Karlson’s answer has been completed and operating for roughly a year now, but is a new route with new stations in new locations that did not previously have any of the older cable cars in Tbilisi.

Are there drinking water fountains at Birmingham Airport (UK)?

Are there drinking water fountains at Birmingham Airport (UK)?

2/8/2017 7:54:18 AM There is one by gate 47, next to the sign. It could not be less obvious and is not signposted or marked on any map. Customer service staff seem unaware of its existence. There is none in any of the main toilets and I couldn’t find one in the Flybe/Ryanair hub. What […]

What conditions can hold luggage expect during a flight?

1/15/2016 11:30:30 AM Pressure is going to be basically the same as the passengers enjoy, as the entire fuselage is pressurized. The only real difference will be temperature, as the cargo hold area is not usually heated to any great degree unless the aircraft is transporting live animals or cold sensitive perishable items. The cold […]

Getting to Australia from overseas cheaply and not by air?

2/10/2012 10:21:07 AM OK, so my friend – Kylie Phaup-Stephens, has a blog on bugbitten. Over the period of 20 months from ANZAC Day(25th of April) 2009 to the end of 2010, she cycled from London, UK to Christchurch, NZ. Naturally, she had to use water methods at some point. She struggled for a while […]

Cell phones must now be completely turned off on flights in Europe?

2/9/2012 2:13:59 PM I find this hard to believe. Some european airlines (e.g. Ryanair) have a little phone base station on the plane, so you can roam onto their network and make phone calls while in flight. Since they allow you to make phone calls during some of the time on some flights, it can’t […]

Does melatonin work as a jet lag remedy?

1/18/2016 4:05:03 AM After a quick look on PubMed, I found a meta-study on the effects of melatonin in various contexts, published in Nutrition Journal (it’s open access, so the article is freely accessible without any kind of academic subscription). It makes a “weak recommendation in favor of melatonin use for rebalancing the sleep-wake cycle […]
