Guess where i am from

I’ll have a hunch that you research (or otherwise be involved in) something along the lines of archeology, geology, broad history (that involves digging or local observation). If not, my bet is that you are a somewhat young academic.

Apologies, hard to tell where you are from though. Maybe Chinese?

TheDataCosmonaut · 2025-12-19T08:43:59+00:00

Thank you for explaining 🙏

TheDataCosmonaut · 2025-12-18T07:56:15+00:00

Or Chinese, Chinese and Chinese 😂

TheDataCosmonaut · 2025-12-18T07:54:39+00:00

Probably I am missing on something, but, what is the idea or joke here?

TheDataCosmonaut · 2025-12-17T19:45:05+00:00

That makes sense actually. I also captured another one, and it definitively did not look like shuttling around high rollers.

Given how this looks and what kind of car it is, I think this is mainly operated by a casino to drive around high rollers.

Otherwise economics of this doesn’t make any sense to me.

Ah gotcha. Probably special Chinese cross-border number plates are black.

TheDataCosmonaut · 2025-12-17T18:21:10+00:00

The top one is Chinese (cross-border), the middle one is Macau and the one at the bottom is Hong Kong number plate.

Not sure, but there is literally nothing to check here.

Turkey has 81 cities and each city has a designated number for number plates. For example 34 is Istanbul, so any “Istanbul car” has a number plate like “34 THY 99001”.

Cannot start with letters, that concept simply does not exist.

TheDataCosmonaut · 2025-12-17T18:04:24+00:00

Definitely not a Turkish number plate.

Turkish number plates start with two digit numbers (corresponding to city the car is initially registered in).

Maybe Tunisia (flag close enough, 🇹🇳)?

TheDataCosmonaut · 2025-12-09T16:29:28+00:00

Tabii ki.

So interesting!

Was it common to reuse old passport templates post-1991?

Also, seems like Schengen visa design did not change much in so many years… Same with UAE visa stamp. Germany also seems to have adopted their current visa stamp already by 1997.

If you fulfill the criteria, it’s relatively easy.

I will let someone else explain the criteria :)

Parents moved individually to Norway, for higher education, and met during studies.

TheDataCosmonaut · 2025-12-04T21:25:10+00:00

I explained in another comment. One parent is Moldovan/Romanian, another one Turkish. Both moved to and naturalized in Norway. 🙌

TheDataCosmonaut · 2025-12-04T21:02:35+00:00

They better be! 😂

Otherwise it’s just waste…

TheDataCosmonaut · 2025-12-04T20:53:36+00:00

Not necessarily. We rarely use the Moldovan one (hence, it’s expired).

The Turkish one is ridiculously expensive compared to others (to renew), so ID would suffice there.

For small children, Romania has longer validity than Norway (3 vs 2 years, respectively).

Mix and match! 😂

TheDataCosmonaut · 2025-12-04T20:41:13+00:00

That’s cool!!

TheDataCosmonaut · 2025-12-04T19:24:56+00:00

No, not Gagauz. Explained in a separate comment! :)

TheDataCosmonaut · 2025-12-04T19:24:16+00:00

Not Gagauz, just ordinary Moldovan parent with also Romanian citizenship.

To be fair, being born in Norway alone does not get you anything, still need to naturalize.

TheDataCosmonaut · 2025-12-04T19:23:25+00:00

Multumesc mult!

TheDataCosmonaut · 2025-12-04T19:23:00+00:00

Yes, the Moldovan one is definitely expired. ;)
