How to order an autonomous taxi in Dubai?

2/10/2018 5:26:04 PM It appears that you can order a Dubai Taxi Corporation electric taxi via UberONE, as of October 2017. There is also “a new system” for ordering at the airport, but it’s unclear how that works or if you can specifically request a Tesla. Currently, they will not be “autonomous taxis” in that […]

In Canada for 6 months, going back to US, how long until I can come back?

1/16/2015 10:52:35 AM The very next day, if you can convince the border agent that you’re using your visa for the appropriate means, and aren’t trying to ‘live’ there instead. They’re going to wonder what took 141 days and now needs more. If you’re backpacking across the country, say, they can see evidence of your […]

1/5/2018 1:51:45 PM While Origimbo’s answer is also correct, I posted the same question to HMPO not expecting a response for awhile.

How should I expect a non-gender-conforming woman to be received in India?

3/1/2018 1:38:31 PM For posterity, during the trip I only received maybe 1 catcall in 2 weeks, though I can’t say for sure whether that had anything to do with how I dressed. Also people were certainly right that visibly foreign people stand out no matter how they dress. However, I don’t think the prior […]

Bringing nicotine e-liquids to Australia

2/25/2019 5:57:04 AM The information here was useful, but have discovered an up-to-date (Feb 2019) guide that covers something called the Travellers Exemption.

Basically visitors to Australia can bring with them nicotine e-liquids if […]

Will I owe customs duty on Xbox One X while going to India?

11/8/2017 3:32:39 AM How do I avoid Customs Duty… You don’t. If you’re carrying dutiable goods and attempt to avoid duty it’s smuggling. If you’re caught expect some or all of a fine; confiscation of the items; a criminal record; imprisonment. That’s your ‘worst case’. The good news is that you’re probably not liable for […]

What is the fastest bus route from Guatemala City to Cancún, Mexico?

3/2/2015 7:23:45 PM The second itinerary, the shorter by distance, appears to be the only correct one. Rome2Rio apparently has a little bug, confusing Santa Elena, Mexico and Santa Elena, Guatemala, near Flores, as shown on the Linea Dora website. So only the second option is valid. Looking at the itinerary on a map, this […]
