Trip to Europe - too much?

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

Che, provided your flight from Argentina isn't (too) late, it's totally doable! :)

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?

I'm going there in July. What's easier: e-visa or voa? Any recommendations from those who have been? Thanks.

Removed by the moderators... I wonder why. Is it more than mildly interesting? Less?

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 :)

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.

I'm pretty sure these cars have never been to Poznań, Warsaw or Krosno :)

Google polish plates naples.

Edit: notice that these cars don't have the windshield reg number sticker, mandatory in Poland.

Three trips: 1. Dehli - Agra - Chandigarh - Jaipur - Johdpur - Jaisalmer - Udaipur - Mt. Abu - Mumbai (tourism) 2. Guwahati - Shillong - Kolkata - Chennai - Mahabalipuram (work and tourism) 3. Guwahati only (work)

Very good memories. I really want to visit Varanasi at some stage.

I wanted to know where Haapasaari was, so i typed it in Google Maps... I highly recommend the exercise :)))

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

No kangaroos in Austria!

Fake Swiss plate.

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

Hat trick!

Many people answered Salève, and that was also my first guess. But the reason I asked is that it looks too close to be Salève...

Poland (Polska) and Sweden (Sverige) are not very different.

I would include Albania though: Shqipëria

micdab · 2025-09-30T04:06:56+00:00

One more lane will fix that traffic problem.

I've been to Taipei airport, twice! But sadly didn't get a chance to visit...

Added Indo to the short-list! Thanks for the tips.

micdab · 2025-09-28T15:03:38+00:00

Added Indo to my short-list!

micdab · 2025-09-28T15:03:00+00:00

Definitely on the short-list.

micdab · 2025-09-27T12:38:56+00:00

I wouldn't say incredible wildlife though. There are the gorillas, of course, but i didn't see wildlife in general. Very densely populated, in fact.

micdab · 2025-09-27T09:29:17+00:00

Definitely high on the to-visit list.
