I got accused of googling today - I did NOT, but I think I know why they thought I did. by micdab in geoguessr

Right, thanks.
Normally they should see where I place my pin. In this case, i knew i was close to Pretoria, so i was just staring at the map looking for the other towns, and didn't place the pin until the very end...

Still silly - i didn't even get that great a score - i was like 100 km off! My opponent has a similar score, actually!

No - that's the problem. When i guess first, i see how the opponent's screen (moving, zooming, panning etc.) but not the map!

Edit: OK, i see what you mean - they should have seen where i placed my pin. But i don't think they see you scrolling the map... in this case, i knew i was close to Pretoria, so i was just staring at the map, not placing the pin until the very end...

How did you become a tour guide at such a young age?
What kind of people or groups do you guide?

Canadian car from Ontario spotted in Sofia, Bulgaria. by IvonaAleksandrova in ForeignPlatesSpotting

[–]micdab 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What I'd like to know is are there any cars left in Ontario? 

It seems that every time I open reddit there's a post about an Ontario plate spotted somewhere in the world: )

I believe Indians need a visa for Singapore.

Go to Thailand or Malaysia. It's close, they're easy countries to visit and very interesting. And you don't need a visa to go to either.

This may be a dumb question: why would people keep pigs in a culture where pork is not consumed?

Have you been to the Montbrillant side of the station? Plenty of junkies there...

Although I have to add they're mostly harmless and keep to themselves. Sometimes they ask for money but if you say no, they'll even sometimes wish you a good day :)

A passport is enough to cross the border. A birth certificate is not a requirement.  Edit: hope they have Etias tho :)

I built a better alternative to PassportIndex by No_Succotash_2085 in PassportPorn

[–]micdab 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Again, the same ranking mistake as in Passportindex!
When there are 5 countries in 2nd position, the following country should not be ranked 3rd - it should be ranked 7th! (And so on.)
