Question

Must a Canadian citizen enter Canada on a Canadian passport?

11/8/2018 9:39:46 PM The previously accepted answer is out of date. As at the time of writing (November 2018) the Canadian Government says this: Dual Canadian citizens can no longer travel to or transit through Canada by air with a non-Canadian passport. You need a valid Canadian passport to board your flight. There is an […]

Are snow spikes for boots allowed in hand luggage?

6/17/2017 5:14:37 AM I know OP clarified in a comment that they were asking about Europe, but since the question wasn’t tagged “europe” and another answer relating to the TSA received upvotes, I thought I would post my own findings relating to the TSA’s stance on snow spikes (a.k.a. crampons). There is conflicting information on […]

Japan Map App. How to get around?

7/20/2018 11:47:11 AM Osmand Android app worked for us very well. It is possible to pre-download maps for the whole Japan in advance and then it works fully offline. It makes sense to put all planned hotels and points of interest at home and in advance, before heading to Japan. At least hotels usually have […]

What age do I have to be to visit New York City's Times Square Ball Drop?

10/24/2014 6:51:21 AM Like the other answers here say, there’s really no age limit for people to be out on the street, and as the night wears on on it gets so hectic and full of people that Times Square, the busiest, most crowded block in NYC becomes literally un-walkable! So there’s no age requirement […]

How to determine if I'll be switching planes during a layover?

12/2/2015 5:34:56 AM One way you can check is to look at the airline’s flight status for the flights on days before yours (e.g., check the flights now). If you see that the two legs are operated by different types of aircraft, then you know that you will have to change planes and likely change […]

Unmarked T/Y intersection. Where do I turn left?

Unmarked T/Y intersection. Where do I turn left?

11/24/2016 11:25:18 AM I’d say Surely, you should keep to the right at the lane divider. (You mention some drivers cross to the left: they should not; ignore them.) Furthermore: in any part of the US I’ve been in, the implication there is that leaving Lasea you can indeed only turn right. I would consider […]

Driving non-GB registered car inside Low Emission Zone

8/28/2018 5:41:32 PM I have received a definitive answer from TfL after asking the question twice (first they just quoted me the same ambiguous rules I was asking about). The answer is: All operators of non-GB registered vehicles (i.e. vehicles that aren’t registered with the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency in Great Britain) will need […]

Car rental deposit €730 for 24h in a small car?

10/17/2014 1:23:26 AM There are two reasons for the deposit. The first reason is that the deposit covers the difference repairing the damage and the cost of claiming for the damage on the insurance. To reduce premiums, Insurance policies normally have an excess amount meaning they will not pay out on the first €x of […]

Missed flight at exact 90-day ESTA mark. Will exit US on transfer flight (US to CAN to JAP). How will this affect my future plans for I-129F visa?

11/21/2016 1:38:35 AM Although stays in Canada famously do not reset the Visa Waiver Program 90 day clock*, that does not mean that stays in Canada after you have exited the US for the last time in a trip are added to your stay. US CBP does not care how long you stay in Canada. […]

Are public saunas linked to gay culture in England?

11/11/2016 11:53:52 AM Saunas in the UK are typically found in one of two places: Health/Fitness/Sports Clubs/Spas with swimming pools (places like Bannatynes, University sports centres etc.), and “Gay” saunas which are more oriented towards homosexual acts. If you want to just visit a normal sauna, there are plenty of places, you typically can also […]

What documentation is needed to register in China with local police when staying with a friend?

3/8/2015 4:01:22 PM The answer to this can vary form one location to another in China. One officer in one district might ask for this or that document, another officer might wave you away as he doesn’t want the paperwork. One district I registered in told me to go to the community office behind my […]

Can I get off the train or discontinue my journey before reaching the destination station?

8/12/2019 11:46:56 AM Yes, you can, but not recommended. You should inform the TTE/TC before doing so. The reason is after you leave if any illegal activity occurs, then they can suspect you. Then it will be your responsibility that you are not attached to it. So the better option always informs the TTE/TC. In […]

Washington DC odd tour request issue

11/9/2016 6:17:54 PM The new Congress meets on January 3, 2017 and, although there will be transition activities, tours should go ahead as scheduled. However, it would be wise to contact your representative’s office for confirmation, particularly if you have not received a tour date. With the approaching holidays, you might want to call or […]

Is visiting Singapore for attending a conference Business or Tourism?

11/8/2016 8:53:44 AM This looks like a business trip. You should contact the organization committee and ask them to provide to you the letter of introduction. One “important” note, if you look at this page : https://www.mfa.gov.sg/content/mfa/overseasmission/beijing/visa_information/bizSocialLevel1.html It is written : Applicant who is invited by Singapore government agencies, universities or are attending exhibition/conference/convention in […]

In London, it is better to do sight-seeing in the morning or the afternoon?

10/11/2014 1:38:38 PM Since there is only eight hours of daylight in London in January I would suggest you take the afternoon class. If you take the morning class then most of the daylight hours will taken up studying inside. It is probably safer and more enjoyable to wander around an unfamiliar city during daylight. […]

The person at the lost and found counter confirmed there is high demand for a cloakroom, and the ongoing constructions has plans for a left luggage facility.

When booking a cruise, how can I find a list of all the port fees in advance?

11/8/2016 2:43:28 PM Most fees are those that are levied for time spent at a port. The larger the boat, the longer the time ported, and the more ports the more fees. There was a class action lawsuit against the cruise industry where captains would leave the port a bit earlier than advertised and charged […]

Where can I rent and fly a kite in Singapore?

11/19/2019 3:05:42 AM Another popular place to fly kite is at the Marina Barrage, there’s a kite shop (http://www.barragecove.com.sg/) at the location but it might be more expensive that what you can get it from other kite shops outside of the Marina area. There’s the one kite seller with a funny name http://www.goflykite.com/ at Chinatown […]

Tax Free when leaving EU through a different country

11/6/2016 10:17:28 AM Actually I found the answer, in case someone else wonder if it’s possible, the answer was found here. Do I have to leave the EU straight away from the country where I purchased goods? No. You can buy VAT-free goods even if you are going to be visiting other EU countries before […]

What does the author mean by 'back to back' and 'hidden city' ticketing hacks?

What does the author mean by 'back to back' and 'hidden city' ticketing hacks?

9/24/2014 8:52:54 PM Hidden city ticketing Basically means buying a ticket A>M>Z where that is cheaper than A>M, but only going as far as M. Only works on singles (because the return would automatically be cancelled if the full booked route is not flown) and even so might not work after a few attempts (ie […]
