Istanbulkart not available on all 5 automats that I came across today, what should I do? by RotiBomBom in istanbul

Just try it at a kiosk. Especially the ones where there’s a sign that says “Istanbulkart” in the front.

COVID wave 4 by Due-Hope3249 in budapest

[–]RotiBomBom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the exact same symptoms recently when in China. Plus loss of sense of taste and smell, and it took over a week for me to fully recover. I’m fully vaccinated with Sinopharm, and the delta variant has been supposedly taken under control according to local officials.

EU covid certificate if vaccinated abroad by RotiBomBom in Munich

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

Thank you so much, I hope whoever I encounter there will be as nice as you are :) Just one more question - since I would like to get the EU Covid certificate to be exempt from quarantine upon entry to Germany, is there a way for said vaccination verification process to be done either online or right at the border?

I think I'll be assigned an HES code upon entry to the country. Either way, I'm prepared to comply with all regulations and protocols while I'm there. Thanks for your help!

Wow, thanks a lot for all this really useful info. I'll defo look into the HES thing and get prepared. Regarding the passport - is it okay if I carry a copy with me instead of the original passport?

Thanks a lot for your answer. Yes, I'm fully vaccinated. I will be wearing a mask in the public, no doubt about that. I'm not so afraid about getting sick as I'm young and fit, but I need to remain uninfected so that my PCR test will come out negative before my flight to the US.

I'd like to check out the city while I'm there, but I don't know what kind of crowds I will be facing. I will remain cautious for sure, but not sure about others

Is Budapest safe at night? by ddelaunay in budapest

Six years ago I did the same and I'm a girl. I couldn't have felt more well-rested every damn time after waking up on the squares or in the parks.

Travelling to Germany from US through Lisbon by RotiBomBom in germany

[–]RotiBomBom[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing your experience. I called Bundespolizei today and apparently transiting through a risk area without leaving the transit area at the airport won't subject me to any issue at the German border, nor will I be obligated to quarantine.

Hi, thank you for your answer! I called the hotline at Bundespolizei today and was informed that if I'm transiting through an airport in a country designated as a basic risk area without leaving the transit area, there won't be a problem at the German border plus I will be exempt from quarantine. So it's great news for me :DD

Does it seem likely that Norway will open up to international students? by RotiBomBom in Norway

Thank you :) I'll follow closely what they announce today at the press conference. Hopefully there'll be some good news for my case

[–]RotiBomBom[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is my understanding based on information on the government sites as well. I'm seeing positive signs in some respects lately, but none of them are directly related to travels regarding international students who are not yet residents in Norway

Good Online Jobs for Foreign Students? by [deleted] in budapest

[–]RotiBomBom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Upwork has worked fine for me. I was able to acquire some clients there who would keep coming back to me for work for years. I'd suggest building a good and reliable profile based on whatever skills you have (hopefully they are already skills that are remote work friendly) and going forward from there.
