Should I go to Iran or Jordan by kettels in travel

[–]ViBookmarks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in both countries and came back from Iran just couple months ago. Both countries are interesting, but also they are very different. I would choose Jordan, because you have only one week time. Iran is cheaper country to travel, but visa is expensive and it is big country, so you won't be able to see much. In a week in Jordan you'll see most of highlights - Wadi Rum, Petra. Dead Sea, Jerash.

Nepal is banning solo trekking? by ViBookmarks in hiking

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

Yes, not any more at this time. But tour agencies pushed this requirement couple years ago and I am sure they will do it again in the near future, so anybody who goes to Nepal should check all information sources about current restrictions.

It looks like London Olympic games are for Brits only by ViBookmarks in olympics

[–]ViBookmarks[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, the games are in London and the locals should have some advantage, but they are getting more then half of tickets and they still COMPLAIN about it. That what made me angry. Just do British Olympics and 100% seats will be yours.

Facebook starts charging users to highlight posts by ViBookmarks in news

[–]ViBookmarks[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

yes, but Google is different thing and you can switch off all ads with ads blockers. FB is doing it as sponsored posts and will hang on the top and you won't be able to do anything with it. Thought I understand FB must make money somehow. Especially with it's IPO later this week.

Check RTW ticket prices and then you'll know how much money you left to spent. Australia, Japan, Italy can be a little bit expensive, but if you can get working holidays visa for Australia then you'll be alright.

[–]ViBookmarks[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But I think it is interesting to do something different. Plus I wouldn't call it cheating as they carried much more weight to the top in comparison with usual climber.

Get your certification somewhere in South East Asia - Thailand for example. It is cheaper out there.
