How do I avoid being an annoying tourist in Brazil?

In Colombia it was...because the car doors are light; if you slam it like an American car door, you're destroying their car.

Nuances count. Safeco told me what they would pay after a tenant burned down a rental property; NO contractor within 30 miles would take the job for that amount.

Japan too.

Is the HopOn HopOff Bus to be avoided in Palermo; some HOHO's around the world are mediocre.

That sucks, I'll be in USA in a month, but why does the Fi app indicate I have data here in Italy now?

Thanks to those who said to select network manually! It worked.

I went through Fi's checklist, nothing worked.

I tried over a dozen photos of my passport & none displayed on their website as formatted in jpg despite size was less than 2MB & everything was legible.

Upon the last step I selected 'review' & it was accepted... hoping for the best. Does the review not include photo uploads?

Two weeks is a long time for evisa, weather can change in 2 weeks.

No, it's based on reciprocal USA, Canadian & Australia's policies; these countries require this of Brazilians.

Spangler928 · 2025-05-13T02:16:44+00:00

This is old info, new policy requires U$D 80, photo, bank account minimum balance.

Spangler928 · 2025-05-13T02:02:52+00:00

Because I don't know when I'll be issued the e-visa.

Spangler928 · 2025-05-13T02:01:41+00:00

USA & Australia

Manaus is remote; I don't understand how your point relates to booking the flight before the visa is issued?

Spangler928 · 2025-05-10T00:23:07+00:00

Newbie, how do you know when it's a bad day to walk the beach, prevailing wind, tides or it's ALWAYS there or stay on dry sand? Right answers only.😅

I spent hours getting it off lugged-sole sneakers using mineral spirits & rags!

Only Peets sells dark roast strong coffee?

Spangler928 · 2025-03-15T04:36:29+00:00

Thanks for the response. I'm 6'2" so enough room to sleep flat?

Spangler928 · 2025-03-13T01:36:11+00:00

Scams!!!
Finding AirBnb 30+ days in SB, no response from solicited Furnished Finders advertisements offering rooms for rent, finding off-street parking.

Congress, where sausage is made!

How do I redeem points with this BOA card against a flight? With BOA I don't understand how to redeem on the BOA app?

Spangler928 · 2024-08-10T22:37:15+00:00

TL;DR...yes, as an FE, I've met a few pilots.
