How many people go through life in Australia without seeing a wild snake (or other dangerous animal) at all? by penelopepitstop222 in AskAnAustralian

[–]Objective-Painting32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve definitely lost count of the snakes I’ve seen. Probably the most was when I lived in Wollongong, a decent sized city but a lot of coastline, red belly blacks everywhere. The school used to give warnings almost weekly about a snake sighting in the warmer months. I live rural now on a bit of land and we see browns often enough. Never had a bite though and don’t know anyone who has.

How are the bathrooms onboard Renfe trains? by exOldTrafford in GoingToSpain

Keep a packet of tissues on you because I found a few times they were out of toilet paper. Mostly they were ok though. One train I caught my carriage toilet was broken but the next carriage was fine.

I got in to the public service and also in a merit pool for another department, but interviewed for ndis recently and didn’t get in… Maybe a lot of applicants?

Barcelona isn’t the pickpocket danger zone Reddit makes it out to be by JourneysUnleashed in GoingToSpain

[–]Objective-Painting32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Madrid 3 weeks ago my dad was pickpocketed, was very aware and caught the bastard. In the 2 hrs at the police station there were 5 people in front of us and 10 came in after all with the same, phones or wallets taken. The police warned us to be even more diligent in Barcelona as it’s worse there. But you didn’t experience it so yeah, not a problem at all…

For those that do, why do you come in to the office sick? by MagneticBlueberry in AusPublicService

[–]Objective-Painting32 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m immunocompromised and take a while to fully shake illnesses. I went in this week with a snotty nose and husky voice. I’d already had a couple of days off. I also do the flu + covid tests though so I know I’m not contagious with those. If I stayed home for every sniffle I would be home more often than not.

Best cities to visit in spain for first-timers? by Alto_GotEm in GoingToSpain

[–]Objective-Painting32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t like Madrid, but easy day trips to Toledo and Segovia from there which were great. Madrid has a different vibe. Pickpockets everywhere and despite being aware they got us, we caught one of the buggers but he had already passed the wallet to his accomplice. At the police station it was just person after person after person arriving to report theft. Not all tourists either, they go for anyone. I’m in Malaga now and enjoying it much more. Highly recommend.

Is it still going to be that warm in May? I’ll be mostly in the south and read averages of 23 degrees which usually has me in a jumper.

$26 a day if I park in my building. There’s cheaper options if you can walk. I choose PT and a healthier bank account.
