Are there some places I can stay for free in South Korea besides couch surfing?

3/8/2013 2:46:48 AM I never used them but I know a few people who always stayed in a Jjimjilbang while travelling in Korea. They’re not free but they’re usually pretty cheap. Edit: I jumped the gun with this answer. It doesn’t really suit your purpose but it could be useful for someone looking for a […]

Which city is shown in the film "A trip to Wiesbaden"?

7/5/2018 2:34:06 PM Supplementary answer: Instead of looking for Youtube videos, another way to double check the perspective is to use the 3D-capability of Google Maps! Building with four lower and central higher tower directly left of the cathedral tower: town hall Spiky white tower further left: St. Michael’s Church Green dome even further left: […]

Can an airline separate a minor from his/her legal guardian?

7/2/2018 2:27:04 PM There is nothing in the EU regulation, wich requires airlines to make sure that passengers who have booked together also can travel together. There is also in no EU country any law or regulation requiring a 17 year old to be under uninterrupted supervision of a parent or legal guardian. Many of […]

If I find a cheap flight on a site that doesn't sell tickets, can I buy them online somewhere?

8/25/2012 4:24:21 PM ITA’s site allows you to search “published” airfares. These are airfares that are available to all travel agencies, including all websites – so in theory you should be able to book them on any on-line travel booking website, including the airlines website if your flights only cover a single airline. However there’s […]

Are anti-influenza drugs containing pseudoephedrine legal in Georgia?

12/18/2012 8:06:41 PM Unfortunately, can’t find any official information in English or Russian. All I can say: According the customs rules you are not allowed to import any narcotics and medical drugs containing narcotics. Here (link is in Russian) is information about arrests for the holding Guaifenesin+Pseudoephedrine drugs, and it is definitely because of Pseudoephedrine. […]

One month in India: eating tips to getting spiced-out

10/26/2012 12:22:03 PM If you are ordering in a restaurant, you can ask the server to suggest dishes that are less spicy (dishes with malai and such). Also you can request them to tone down the spices of the dishes you are ordering (this works sometimes). You can also order for dahi (curd) separately. Where […]

Which city can be seen on this Windows 10 lock screen photo featuring a stadium next to a river?

6/27/2018 3:22:09 PM It’s Kazan, Russia, which is where the FIFA World Cup is being played right now (in 2018). The stadium in the foreground is the Tsentralnyi Stadion, with the Kazan Kremlin just beyond. The river is the Kazanka River. The image is a stock image from Getty Images which you can find here […]

Where to buy the best tour to Neuschwanstein castle?

8/15/2012 11:27:06 PM We had a look at public transport versus a tour for our visit and came to the conclusion that while it may cost somewhat more, the convenience of a tour from Munich outweighed the money saved. Grey Line was the company that we did it with, because they were the only one […]

Can person take a toothpick from a restaurant in Japan?

6/29/2018 3:11:41 PM I did a bit of research and as far as I can make out, Japanese etiquette dictates that you do not use toothpicks in public i.e, you find a secluded spot to use toothpicks. However, since that is not practical, people try to cover their mouth with the other hand while using […]

Can I get a cheaper one-way flight by booking and cancelling a flexible return leg for a refund?

8/11/2012 10:32:40 PM So the way I see it, there are two parts to this question then: 1 – Can you just drop the second leg – and 2) can you get a refund on this second leg Can you drop the second leg of a flight I’ve done this once, and I assure you, […]

Can travel agents "reissue" tickets?

5/14/2018 11:21:18 AM The trick here most probably lies in the definition of basic economy fare, which changes from airline to airline. Some airlines simply don’t sell non-refundable or non-exchangeable tickets, so even basic fare tickets can be re-booked to another date (though usually with a fee). Of course, travel agents often have more options […]

Search engine of Italian buses

12/21/2017 7:41:58 PM The accepted answer concerns local buses and recommends trains for long-distance journeys. However especially for travel to the south of Italy, this is not always the most convenient option. To the best of my knowledge there is no search engine that covers all long-distance bus lines of Italy. Typically I proceed as: […]

Am I allowed to strap a tent to my airport checked luggage?

5/14/2018 1:56:52 PM One solution to the outer bag proposed in some answers to keep the straps under control is a rucksack raincover. Some are designed to zip round the entire bag in transit, like this one (not necessarily a recommendation, just an example). You’d need a lightly oversized one if you’re carrying a lot […]

Can one see Morocco from Portugal?

Can one see Morocco from Portugal?

8/2/2021 12:58:22 AM No, but there are points in Spain where you can see both Portugal and Morocco. For example, you can see to the north of Faro and into Tangier from the top of El Torreón peak: How easy is it for someone with blindness to go through customs? 3/28/2018 7:53:51 AM You can […]

How easy is it for someone with blindness to go through customs?

3/3/2018 1:02:41 AM I’m not sure if you were asked to remove your Aira device at security in the US. This may be something to bring up with staff when checking in, and again in line since electronics need to be scanned and you want to ensure your device remains undamaged. Regarding Canada only: Sadly, […]

Hot Springs around Bulgaria?

8/3/2012 7:08:22 PM To say that there are mineral water springs in Bulgaria is somewhat of an understatement. According to Wikipedia, there are 225 sites with flow rate of more than 5000 l/s. Most hot springs are in Southern Bulgaria, south of Stara Planina, particularly in west Rodopi mountain, as well as Struma and Mesta […]

Why are there no road maps for Iceland for my TomTom device?

1/27/2014 5:00:23 PM Although other answers are valid, the driving reason is that there isn’t the demand. Iceland has a population of around 350,000, and had around half a million tourists visit (figures for 2007). The Canary islands have a population of more than 2 million and 9 million tourists visited. Cheapest scheduled summer public […]

Cheapest scheduled summer public transport from Vancouver to Whistler and back?

8/30/2012 8:22:54 PM It seems Greyhound is operating a bus between Vancouver and Whistler, for 30 dollars max one way. The web fare is $20 and if you book at least 3 weeks in advance, it can be as low as $15 . Where can I get a student ID in Poland (Wroclaw) using my […]

Does this form letter mean that I didn't get the visa?

1/16/2018 5:12:51 PM No it doesn’t. You will be able to tell only when you get your documents back. Even the VAC does not know the decision until then. This is a generic template to let you know that a decision has been made and the documents are ready for collection/dispatch. It does not indicate […]
