Can I see Lebanon from Cyprus?

Can I see Lebanon from Cyprus?

7/28/2017 6:19:30 PM By the way, I also took that same morning a photograph of the mountain of northern Syria. It seems to correspond to the photograph that was added to this post 3 years ago, but with higher resolution of course. I will never forget that morning! Can you buy duty free at Kuala […]

Planning my Singapore tour as a photographer

6/8/2013 12:53:07 AM As a local, I will highly recommend checking out Wild Singapore and the areas away from the city centre. Contrary to our label of an ultra-modern concrete jungle, we have really beautiful natural sights due to our tropical climate. I would also recommend the following: Little India (if you’re looking for something […]

Does Colombia require proof of onward travel?

2/17/2016 6:47:55 PM First of all – every contract of carriage I’ve ever seen says it is the responsibility of the passenger to have the proper paperwork and it is not the airline’s responsibility to provide return transportation of you are denied entry to a country. I know this is an old thread but may […]

Japan Rail Passes, will I need one?

9/9/2012 11:32:00 AM Short answer – the full JR pass for this trip, assuming a 14 day pass at 45100 yen, will cost pretty much the same as individual tickets and more specialised passes combined, excluding the pass’ ease of use. I’d strongly recommend it, with maybe a couple of 1000 yen extra for subways […]

Which is the cheapest ferry to Jeju in South Korea?

Which is the cheapest ferry to Jeju in South Korea?

2/4/2013 10:58:32 PM visitkorea.or.kr has some information on routes and prices to Jeju. The cheapest rates they quote are KRW 30,000 for Mokpo-Jeju and KRW 26,250 for Wando-Jeju. So yes, Wando seems to be the cheapest option. However, I travelled the Mokpo route in summer 2011. Back then my hostel host was able to get […]

What time should we go to Times Square on New Year's eve?

8/26/2014 2:14:04 PM To get a decent vantage point you should probably get into a restaurant like Olive Garden on Times Square or some similar, menu is not that fancy but the location is great and you might want to reserve the seat by the glass now. Generally it used to be that to get […]

What do hotels (in the US) do to control and erradicate bed bugs? How good are they?

4/1/2016 2:50:04 PM I’ve been in Facility Management for over 20 years and have had to manage bed bugs form time to time. First off you can’t totally rely on the Bed Bug registry because some unhappy guest use that to be vindictive against the lodging provider. Secondly an ultra violet certainly allows for better […]

Can I just wait in the checked-in baggage lane before passing immigration to shift the number of days of staying in US?

4/6/2017 6:27:20 PM If you arrive at LAX internationally, you will be in a corridor between the gate and the immigration desks. There are nothing but bathrooms before immigration, and immigration is before baggage reclaim and customs. To delay your purported arrival until the next day, you’d be abandoning your bag for 7 hours and […]

How's the view from Somerset House's terrace?

12/16/2011 10:07:08 AM There are some trees between the terrace and the river (sample photo), but they don’t have any leaves on them in December and should not obstruct your view of the fireworks. I have not been there on New Year’s Eve myself though. Preventing Smash and Grab Theft while Travelling Credit:stackoverflow.com‘

Compensation for delayed baggage on international United flight

7/31/2011 7:24:50 PM From my experience I can tell you that once a lady’s luggage got delayed and she had a suit in her suitcase which she needed the next morning for some job thing. She could then buy a new suit and send the bill to the luggage handling company. So as far as […]

Is it possible to travel from North America to South America via train, excluding the Darién gap?

8/4/2015 12:24:32 PM Author Paul Theroux tried it in the 1970’s, as documented in his book ‘The Old Patagonian Express’ [ISBN 0141189150] – I think he had quite a few gaps though, and used several lines that are no longer in use… Wikipedia On that basis, I’d say that no, it isn’t, and it is […]

Language schools that teach Mayan languages around Lake Atlitlan, Guatemala?

6/24/2011 10:57:36 PM I cross-posted your question here. According to the forum’s moderator, there is a well-connected Spanish teacher named Ramon who can probably help you. Looks like you can find his contact info here: http://www.sanpedrospanishschool.org/pages/contacts.html Eco touring/diving in Malaysia Credit:stackoverflow.com‘

What happens to Ukrainian overstaying 90 days in the EU?

5/30/2022 10:06:26 PM The 90/180 day rule presently does not apply to Ukrainen citizens and 3rd country residents who have stayed in Ukraine, but the Directive 2001/55/EC, which allows Ukrainian citizens and 3rd country residents to stay or remain (in Germany presently until 2022-08-31) without further application. Residence permits can be appled for by Ukrainian […]

What is the drinking age on American operated airlines to Canada?

What is the drinking age on American operated airlines to Canada?

5/9/2021 10:53:48 PM This is sort of a comment but it has outgrown in length the comment box. For the question directly: we do not know, it depends on which airline are you flying — however, you can deduce that from the airport where you are transferring. Here’s how. A US carrier carrying passengers from […]

Zurich ZVV monthly/annual pass: how many trips per day?

6/5/2020 5:24:06 PM As many as you would like (and physically possible) within the zones chosen (some night buses and trains may require additional supplement). Like your own link says With a monthly travelcard you can travel as often as you like in the zones you have purchased. Can I be given a voucher without […]

Peacock feather a prohibited item?

1/30/2013 1:39:18 AM I just walked right by two customs agents in Newark International with a hand fan made from Peacock feathers in my hand that I purchased at a floating market in Bangkok. It’s a big fan (approximately 12″ by 24″) and it was right in front of them, I didn’t need to declare […]

12/18/2019 12:23:18 PM So I have successfully managed to travel back to my home country from Bangladesh. I will list the steps I have taken from losing my passport to crossing immigration department in my home country. Before the trip in Japan: Notified the lost and found section of the rail lines, namely Odakyu and […]

Boiling tap water in Paris

5/21/2023 7:03:26 AM In the accommodation given to me, I was told I can drink tap water. Tap water is France’s most controlled aliment. You can check its parameters on an interactive map (which, in the French tradition, does not work at this moment when I tried to look up today’s values for Paris 😐) […]
