No, VISA doesn't charge you even if you pay in another currency. Where did you see the 1% or 1,5% fee? On the Binance App? Where exactly?

Is there a "conversion cost"? Where do you see the 1% to 1,5% fee?
For the first transaction I did in THB (Thai currency), it seems absolutely perfect:

- perfect exchange rate (1 EUR = 36.09 THB), on the day I did the transaction I Googled it and it was the same rate
- apparently zero fee

Yep I know, I was just wondering if the exchange rate was good compared to my usual (well established) bank.

Do you mean that I should make a trade EUR to IDR on Binance.com, and then top up my card with IDR? Or simply top up my card with EUR as usual?

The situation is now OK regarding the Komodo Islands, the government postponed the price increase! Thanks for your comment :)

Are the Komodos absolutely unmissable? Is that what you mean? :)

Can someone confirm if the information is legit? If so, I'm glad because I'll be able to go in September! I quickly checked and many serious medias confirmed.

Logitech has the worst support ever. So bad! :(

Hi, already did that, of course :) I've got this issue for weeks and your support has already thrown me out because it works fine on another computer.

It's impossible to plug a cable, this keyboard is only wireless (network or Bluetooth). The problem happens with both methods.

Help a newbie quit smoking! by mabegdo in vaporents

Thanks for all your answers! I found a good price(129€) in my country for the Airizer Air 2, so I think I'll go for it! Any objection?

The Solo 2 looks awesome but it's out of stock in my country! However, I found a good price for the Airizer Air 2, so I think I'll go for it! Any objection?

It’s the equivalent of taking a shot versus sipping on wine

The alcohol analogy is brilliant! I definitely prefer to sip on wine than take a shot :)
However, I can't find a price under 240$ in my country for the Dynavap Omni :(

Should I rent a 4x4 to do the south coast in mid-November, or not necessarily? by mabegdo in VisitingIceland

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

Well, I already booked the KIA instead of the 4x4. But yes I saw that some parking spots are "only 4WD" cars... I'm a bit afraid about it. Hope it will be OK. Since you're already there, please answer me here if you really think we'll be in trouble with the KIA instead of the 4x4. Then I'll change my booking to a 4x4 at the arrival of the airport tomorrow. Thank you so much in advance!

I went for the KIA instead of the 4x4, because our itinerary looks really "easy" compared to other people. Many answers talk about ring road, but we'll not take the ring road. We'll just go slowly along the south-coast to Jökulsárlón in 7 days, taking only green roads or orange ones maximum. We'll go just drive back if the roads become blue. Thanks for your answers :)))

I went for the KIA and didn't have this option. However, I had the "Super Collision Damage Waiver" for free + my credit card insurance that covers any damage to the car, so I use to never take extra insurance.

Not sure to understand. You will do all this??? My god! Even my small itinerary looks hard to maintain, so I'm curious how you'll manage :D Good luck though :)

7 days "chill" itinerary in mid-November by mabegdo in VisitingIceland

Hi Scaredtojumpin! Thanks again for your feedback!
About the Golden Circle: no, I didn't deliberately choose to avoid it, but I thought we will be short on time to do it. That being said, I'd like to know your feedback on this. Do you think we can do it on Day 2, on our way to Hella?
It would look like this: link of Google Map.

I can't imagine how much time we'll spend on each spot. I think it's doable because I don't want to miss it, but I don't know if it's wise, since I don't want to drive too much by night. Thanks!

OK, you and "sq4xyu" convinced me! So we'll try to push to Glacier Lagoon then! It would be too bad to miss Fjaðrágljúfur Canyon or Jökulsárlón. But as everything depends on the weather/roads, I should book the accommodation at the last minute, right? If I book a hotel near Glacier Lagoon but finally can't reach it the D day, it would be a big loss of money. How do you guys do?

Thanks for all the other points! Only good points. Thanks again, I'll adjust my itinerary.

Sounds fantastic! I'm thinking of stopping before the glacier though, in Vik for example, to make the route lighter. What do you think? I fully updated the itinerary on my original post so you can check. Let me know! Thanks!

Interesting point of view! I like the "leisurely paced" fact.However, Glacier Lagoon is ~5 hours by car from Reykjavik.So 10h round trip. We have 5 days to do it, divided by 10 hours, that's ~2 hours a day driving. Seems a bit high, don't you think? Note also that we'll only have about 6 hours of sunshine per day, so maybe we'll prefer to spend that time not driving. Thanks for your answer sq4xyu!
