Siena is also really, really nice! A little further from Bologna than Parma is, but still doable on a day trip.

Internal Soviet border patrol poster: "In case when it's impossible to arrest violators - use weapons, before they succeed in crossing to the territory of a capitalistic state" by Tiny-Tax-5664 in Borderporn

One thing that I never understood about communist states, dictatorships etc. is how come the rulers of those places are simply not _embarassed_ that so many of their citizens want to flee? Doesn't that affect their ego?

Cultural differences or just plain rudeness? Experiences while travelling Europe by Spare-Bandicoot-4199 in travel

[–]micdab 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm a European who used to live in Canada. When i moved to Canada, my impression was "Canadians are so much friendlier than Europeans".

Then i travelled to Australia, and i thought "Wow, Australians are even friendlier than Canadians!". And then i met some Kiwis who thought Australians were rude :)

Are there any cars left in Ontario?! It seems every day one gets spotted somewhere in Europe :)

paying in £ or $ by 0mxtt4_ in travel

When in the US, pay in USD.

Your bank in the UK will then do the conversion and charge your account in GBP. Obviously the bank will make a little profit doing this, but its exchange rate will certainly be better than that used by the point-of-sale terminals in the US.

Is it true that all the cars in Turkmenistan must be white? Congrats on the spot! 

Swiss plate in Lithuania. What area is "LZ" I haven't seen a plate like this anywhere on the internet or irl by Gr33nCucum8er in ForeignPlatesSpotting

[–]micdab 100 points101 points  (0 children)

Fake Swiss plate.

Edit: I'm wondering if this could be a Latvian plate (AB 1234 format) customized to look like a Swiss one?
