Pakistani travelling to Indian Kashmir?

7/4/2017 8:50:51 AM Many Pakistanis visit Kashmir. But usually they are Paksitanis with relatives in Kashmir – e.g. attending a family wedding. There is a huge diaspora of Kashmiris in Pakistan who still maintain ties with relatives in the Indian administered Kashmir Valley. But the visa can take a long time as India treats the […]

Is the London pass valid(/free) for multiple entries to same tourist attraction?

6/16/2015 11:02:52 AM Regarding the attractions – it is not possible. But regarding the Boat cruise, you actually can enter it multiple times. You will receive 1-day ticket (see http://www.londonpass.com/london-attractions/thames-river-boat-cruise.html) and within those 24 hours, you can use it multiple times. I was there last year, activated the 24-hour ticket in the afternoon and next […]

Where is/was this possibly defunct hotel in Arizona that I visited in '99 located?

4/9/2022 4:50:55 AM That building is now the headquarters for the Phoenix Dream Center, a non-profit organization "committed to stopping human trafficking, educating tomorrow’s leaders, and ending childhood hunger". In short, it appears to have been converted into a homeless shelter. The "Tours" page on their website shows an aerial view that is clearly the […]

This fee is per transaction, not per ticket, so it’s the same no matter how many tickets you buy. The Prepaid Ticket is available […]

"Purpose of Travel" document for Canadian visa

6/16/2015 6:04:43 PM I have searched a lot and found out that I can also show wedding invitation, notification of death, funeral notice etc, in Purpose of Travel. One of my friends just created a word document and put “Visiting friends and family” in very big and bold font. The title of the document was […]

My flight was rescheduled to an early date, when visa is not started yet. Can I enter?

3/4/2022 12:49:30 PM No, you will not be allowed to enter Austria before the visa starts just because the airline has rescheduled your flight. You must expect that the airline will refuse you to board if you are landing before your visa becomes valid. You should contact the airline and ask to be rescheduled to […]

Why does the London Underground use two live rails instead of just one?

3/3/2022 10:28:36 AM Using +630V instead of +420V is indeed a possible option, and it would make the railroad equipment somewhat simpler and safer. This is what is often done with household electricity in most countries, where only one wire is "live". It would require better insulators to cope with a higher voltage though. Perhaps […]

How to spend 19:00 to 1:00 in Kiel? (from Ferry to Train)

1/18/2022 1:25:34 AM If it’s the ferry’s terminal stop, ask the ferry operator whether you can stay any longer on board because of your connecting train departing later in the night. I guess the ferry will reverse its direction. At least the long-distance ferries do. Nevertheless sooner or later passengers for the reverse direction get […]

Is it possible to make a day-trip to a beach, from Seoul?

Is it possible to make a day-trip to a beach, from Seoul?

6/15/2015 9:08:43 AM Generally, the most popular tourist destination for beaches are located on East and South coast of Korea. With some minor exceptions, I’d avoid West coast in general because most of their beaches look like this: I know one of your primary concerns is proximity of the destination via public transportation, but what […]

An active underground city/village?

An active underground city/village?

1/2/2022 4:40:13 AM You might be interested in Coober Pedy, South Australia.

Where exactly is the Myanmar consulate in Kunming, China?

Where exactly is the Myanmar consulate in Kunming, China?

6/10/2015 6:35:14 AM It turns out two of the addresses refer to the same place! The site must have been redeveloped recently with new, internal roads. The consulate is not located in a park as it seems from Google Maps. I believe the area is a special consular zone. It seems to only contain a […]

Does Interrail check for proof of residence and if so in which countries?

6/8/2015 6:49:04 PM When they have an UK passport, that will be enough for the ‘residence’ requirement. Officially you can only buy an InterRail pass in the country you live, but if they are from one of the countries where the residents/citizens can buy an InterRail pass, they should bring their passport or ID card […]

Unpublished changes to travel rules

12/30/2021 1:28:03 AM Confer Who pays return ticket if denied entry? There’s generally no actionable right to enter a country. I wouldn’t even be so sure you couldn’t be denied from entering the country you hold a (sole) citizenship of. As far as I understand the mentioned CoViD‑19 rules apply indiscriminately of nationality. Mid-air changes […]

Why only earbud style earphones?

6/8/2015 2:25:39 PM The reason is probably that at least cheaper on-ear headphones leak much more sound than earbuds or better, closed on-ear headphones. It can be quite annoying to sit beside someone using such headphones with the volume turned up. Instead of arguing in each case over which headphones are acceptable and which are […]

11/15/2021 7:23:15 PM Primary enforcement for vaccine and testing requirements when travelling to the US falls to the airline that is transporting you to the US. The specific procedures will depend on the airline, but will generally involve them needing to see your vaccination/test results at either check-in or at the gate, as well as […]

According to the site, some butterflies are protected in the whole country and some cantons add further restrictions on top of that. Bad news for would-be Nabokov followers is that Vaud (where Montreux […]

How can I fly for 13 hours with a back pain? On economy

10/15/2021 2:50:46 PM I have arthritis pretty much throughout my spine and just had pain block injections last week, so sitting in economy while flying to SE Asia to visit my wife’s family can be excruciating. I usually don’t recline my seat either, as that seems to make it worse, but sometimes you have little […]
