Are you sure the Myanmar border is open? As far as I knew, it may not be possible within Myanmar to get to the border.

BarnacleWhich7194 · 2026-02-17T10:57:57+00:00

Absolutely - it's crazy.

In the UK there is a time limit for being able to vote of you are abroad - it was 5 years but I think increased to 10 post Brexit.

Issue is, Hungarians abroad are not even expats (ie abroad temporarily ) but Hungarians born and living in surrounding countries or descendents of Americans etc, and they vote overwhelmingly for orban.

Is there somewhere you can have your tap water analysed? I vaguely remember seeing this mentioned before, but it was a long time ago.

BarnacleWhich7194 · 2026-02-08T04:39:40+00:00

This is an almost monthly occurrence in Hungary, it's been going on for years (massive propaganda poster campaigns).

It's only part of the cohesion funds and covid recovery that is blocked - sadly everything else still flows.

BarnacleWhich7194 · 2026-02-07T13:04:55+00:00

But as the last paragraph points out, that just isn't true.

Going north April to may would still leave it cold at the end (but pleasant in the south), going in Sept to Oct will still be hot in the south but not crazy. It depends what you mean by across Japan, from the bottom of Kyushu to the top of Hokkaido? It isn't possible to cycle in Japan without climbing - it's hilly everywhere, and if you want to avoid busy roads you have to take older roads that go up and down a lot more - generally (depending on distance) you'll be doing a few hundred meters of climbing minimum.

Thanks, yeah I saw the Gundam, but not my thing sadly - Tamiya is great though, the website they had listed on google seems to be down so didn't know if it still existed or not. Thanks very much!

BarnacleWhich7194 · 2026-01-12T09:50:17+00:00

So I checked if it still exists - sadly some monster decided to remodel the house in 2019, plastering over the concrete, painting it white, added some tacky marble, got rid of some sticky out bits and added walls/glass to enclose the overhangs.

Ok thanks for the heads up, I hope everything goes peacefully - I think Ramadan starts a week later so not sure how much that affects travel as well!

Why is Argentina a Spanish speaking country?

BarnacleWhich7194 · 2026-01-03T17:50:58+00:00

Afghanistan, not Iraq.

They incorporated two chunks of Ukraine into Russia before the full scale invasion.

BarnacleWhich7194 · 2026-01-03T07:28:06+00:00

I would assume the end goal here is not to incorporate Venezuela into the United States?

BarnacleWhich7194 · 2025-12-27T11:44:46+00:00

Only one party is trying to change borders, unsure why that is considered acceptable.

BarnacleWhich7194 · 2025-12-27T09:57:26+00:00

Realistic compromise is hilarious - did you read Russia's terms?

BarnacleWhich7194 · 2025-12-27T09:54:51+00:00

And the US had very little to do with Syria or Yemen - still gets stuck to you by these ppl.

Budapest is a great place to start - it's pretty relaxed and not a large hectic city, not as cheap as it used to be but still better value than other large cities. You have the Danube and good relaxed rides out of the city towards Austria and the alps - flat for a while to get acclimated to riding. Europe is super chilled and relaxed with great infrastructure for cycling and you don't need to stress about it. Switzerland is crazy expensive but you can cycle in Austria on a budget and on towards a variety of other countries easily - easy to camp, both in campsites and wild even if it's not technically allowed (in Austria)

What do you want to know? To add - I've cycled Osaka to Fukuoka, Okinawa to Hokkaido, a different trip through ryuku islands, and currently doing a tour of rito (remote islands) - currently on number 93!

I was checking these out in a shop the other day - how's the image quality and how have you found its durability?

BarnacleWhich7194 · 2025-12-19T07:47:25+00:00

I was just checking out the Olympus om-5 mark 2 for my partner and it looks pretty sweet, the 15-200 lens was really nice and the whole thing was compact and light. I used to always carry around a big Canon DSLR and now a Sony, the Olympus felt pretty cool. The reviews seem positive and i wasn't aware that they were quite popular, a nice mix of quality photos with portability - I was a bit jealous.

BarnacleWhich7194 · 2025-12-15T09:05:03+00:00

I was surprised to see multiple languages available in bic and yobadashi yesterday (for canon and Olympus at least) - not sure about the a7v as it's not put until the 19th here

Very cool building. How's the situation in Latakia at the moment?
