What are good design galleries and museums to see in Stockholm?

11/5/2011 7:53:27 PM One building that is a monument to Swedish design that is technically not a museum is Stockholm’s new City Hall (Stadhuset). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockholm_City_Hall But it is a “museum quality” exhibit. It is constructed of brick, but laid out using “old-fashioned” (for the early twentieth century) artisan techniques. It was inaugurated June 23, 1923, […]

Most remote exclave?

2/6/2012 12:58:24 PM “Ushuaia” es la Ciudad Más Austral del Mundo. No se discute. “Puerto Williams” en Chile es una aldea casi una base de casi 2.000 habitantes. Ushuaia una verdadera Ciudad de 57.000 habitantes. Y si los ingleses nos devolvieran nuestras Islas Sandwich del Sur (hoy dependientes de Gran Bretaña a la fuerza ilegítima), […]

4/12/2016 2:05:34 PM As a complement to the other answers, I can offer my personal experience that I made it in and out of the country (and the conference) without any trouble, using a visa-on-arrival letter. Of course, this is not authoritative information, just anecdotal. Can a Brazilian citizen enter the country with a visa […]

7/22/2016 11:58:31 AM Both are North city BUT there are not direct public transport links between them. Dub airport is ~12k North of city centre. Ferry terminal ~4k East of city centre.

Where can I go with an Irish visa but without a Schengen visa?

For many people, what you said does not make sense. Ireland has no borders with […]

Travelling to Attu Island

6/25/2014 7:54:47 PM Yes, it’s still legal to go there, but before visiting, you should check with the US Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) and US Coast Guard (USCG). I don’t know if USFWS requires any permits for a private citizen to visit, but I believe USCG does require that you receive permission before going […]

Amtrak Cascades from Seattle to Vancouver – What is the border crossing like northbound?

3/6/2019 12:49:47 AM Just one aspect should be clarified in addition to the answers above. As such, I’ll need to let the DHS know that I’ve left the USA so they don’t mistakenly think I’ve not gone. Since 2016, you are not required to report anything to DHS as Canada shares entry/exit information with the […]

To Apply for a visa: need "one-year health insurance" – but can only book insurance for 365 days

4/3/2015 11:48:35 AM First, it would help if you told us where you permanently reside. Indeed, if you are from the Quebec province, there is an agreement between the RAMQ (medical insurance in Quebec) and the French Sécurité Sociale. If you are from somewhere else, you might still find some insurances covering for more than […]

Do Croatia, Serbia and Romania still stamp passports (travel from the EU)?

8/9/2018 10:26:02 AM Croatia and Romania are supposed to stamp non-EU/EFTA passports (except if travelling with an article 10 or 20 card together with, or to join, the family member on the basis of whom the card was issued), but not EU/EFTA passports. Serbia is supposed to stamp all non-Serbian passports on entry, and, since […]

What type of mosquito repellent is most effective?

3/10/2016 8:15:56 PM Mosquitos find their quarry by detecting Carbon Dioxide that is emitted from the pores in the skin as well as breathing and sweating. The reason that Deet, Picardin, or any other repellant works is because it renders the targeted individual “invisible” to the mosquito. Citroenella candles, for example, mask and even combine […]

Any suggestions to ensure safety while hitchhiking?

9/10/2011 8:28:43 PM I’ve been hitchhiking all over the world for the past year and a half, currently in Europe. But we’re not supposed to do broad or list questions on Stack Exchange. So rather than list out all kinds of stuff I can think of I can make it one right answer by pointing […]

3/27/2015 12:45:07 PM The UK Business Visitor Visa is being abolished in 27 (24 April 2015) days so your question has limited life.

Does being granted a Schengen visa and not going have any consequences?

10/11/2018 5:58:45 AM Only if you were planning to get married in that country. Getting a visa for purpose of marriage is a serious offense. Even in America some states make it a penalty to request marriage license then visa for your partner then not finish the task. I got hauled up once because i […]

6/12/2013 8:10:04 PM I would say “yes”, gas stations, convenience stores, and fast food restaurants will accept credit cards for small purchases.

How do I visit Petra from Israel?

12/28/2016 9:06:41 AM At least at present, yes, there are tour companies that do 1-day tours to Petra from Eilat. I was on such a tour about 6 weeks ago (i.e. November 2016.) I wouldn’t recommend trying to do a day trip from the Allenby crossing, though, as that would be a rather long drive […]
