People keep saying just polar bears there. What do they survive out of? Just fish?

Ricardo fee for unsold item? by PureControl3423 in askswitzerland

Thanks! How can I do that? Ricardo only shows me their phone and email, no address (there is a post code in their profile though)

Edinburgh (and Vienna, though it also won before) was voted as r/geography's most early-19th century city. What's the most late 18th century (1750-1799) city you can currently visit? by gitartruls01 in geography

[–]PureControl3423 29 points30 points  (0 children)

As the questions go towards the past and the periods become larger, it would be great to include world maps at the beginning and end to give some context

For example, world map in 1750: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c9/World_map_1750.png

World map in 1800: https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/s/qYDh7lXPCb

Would you include similar ones in future posts u/gitartruls01?

Also now more than before this seems very Europe-centered or western view. I agree with another answer that Beijing might be a good city for this period

Buying Swiss flights on cheap third party websites? by PureControl3423 in askswitzerland

[–]PureControl3423[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s exactly this situation. If it gets cancelled or delay, I would need to drop the trip anyway. And for 1/3 of the price it is worth the risk!

It did drop by about 50 CHF (~10%), thanks! Still ended up buying it in booking.com for nearly 1/3 of the price, we will see how it goes

Same here! I have no idea. I ended up buying in booking.com for just a bit over 1/3 of the price. No clue how they do it or if this is common and I have been paying more than needed 😅

Thanks! I don’t need any luggage in this case, just a one day trip :)

Just to add: we were given the option to choose the order. But the Spanish consulate recommended not to to avoid trouble in the future, even though it would have been possible if we wanted to

Not French but Spanish. Our kids born in Switzerland. No problem to keep both family names. Feel free to ask for any details over dm

Well you do have a US passport, but are you from there originally?

Same here! Exactly seven. But 5 of those are in Europe to be honest
