The 'trick' back then, which I understand is still up to date is to request a transit visa, as opposed to a tourist visa, which requires/required a paid government guide at all times. When you visited the embassy, if you were

I visited this in 2012 while motorbiking to the Pamir Highway. At the time, it was less known, and certainly hadn't attracted the "tourist destination" classification that it now has. I had a vague GPS point, and we spent a g

For clarity, we are not a publicly held company, the EU corp is owned by two entities 50/50. The business accounts of the shareholder companies (in unrelated industries) were frozen, the personal accounts of the owners of the sharehold

I have (almost) no issue with accounts being frozen. At the end of the day, it's a private company, they can chose if they want to do business with you or not. Likewise, holding for 180 days is aligned with most credit card chargeback

We have Shopify's "Pay" and Apple Pay, crypto and regular Visa / MC gateways (Stripe). We haven't tried Amazon pay - I'll try it as an experiment to see what happens. However, the fact remains that removing Pay

Based on the advice given from our French, Hong Kong and Luxembourg lawyers, it's not legal. But the barrier for _proving_ that it's not legal is very high. PayPal don't reply to account holders, and they don't reply in

I definitely appreciate the arm-chair assistance: I'm unfamiliar with the Luxembourg jurisdiction, so your pointers are great - we will discuss with our lawyers. From what I understood, Luxembourg's consumer laws are more loosely

See my comment below: they just seized (not frozen, seized) 50k EU from us in a targetted attack against our company and shareholders because we took legal counsel when they froze the accounts.

We are Europe's largest site for RFID and pentesting hardware (lab401.com) We are in the exactly the same situation. PayPal has conducted a personalised, manually executed war of attrition against our company and shareholders. Eight mo

User and avocate of the rm2 here; it completely replaced my notepad/s in and out of the office. Worth mentioning that they have given lifetime access to existing customers, but I had been planning on giving devices to staff at the end

Happy paid user of MobaXTerm for years. I've found even with WSL advancements it's actually become more useful. Compared to other tools like PuTTY, it's an incredibly well thought out piece of software. Well worth the licence

Can you elaborate on the "secret store" ?

I postulate there are two categories of people: those who assume that if the activity was minimum, the service would continue, and others that assume the service will end, so will pump as much as possible. I'd found it to be invaluable

I can't even begin to imagine the bills that were racked up via this and others (like the Lime SIMs).. For the Lime SIMs, there was a day when the pipe was turned off - I can imagine it was the day someone looked into their twillio bil

Now that it's closing, it seems safe to reveal - the SIM cards from these kindles made for the best emergency data SIM that money could (not) buy. Everything passed via an http proxy, with a key that could be easily extracted from the

The Airbus HQ is in Toulouse, France. The runway of TLS runs roughly perpendicular to the ring road, and it's common to see the Belugas at very low altitudes crossing above. The first time I saw one cross, I nearly drove off the road

The first time I had my motorbike. Second time just hired a car. Car hire from the airport is quick and easy (it's Hertz). Without transport, you'd be severely limited I'd say, but it depends how you like to travel.

You get stamped into Kurdistan. It's unobtrusive. As other posters have said, refreshing your passport before traveling to the US works.

For what it's worth, Kurdistan, the north of Iraq has been open for tourism for many years. Kurdistan is the semi-autonomous region of Iraq, whose capital is Erbil. I've been through twice, the first time at possibly the the &#x27

Typically they will announce to the PCC (central control) that they sighted people in the tunnels. The next train that comes through the sector will roll at walking speed. If you haven't cleared out by that time and get seen, they stop

Every metro has its own smell, I assume from the brake dust. Likewise the quiet moments between action when you're tucked into side tunnels, feeling the breeze and listening to distant trains rumbling by..

Even looking back at those photos today takes me on a huge nostalgia trip. The article very accurately outlines our trepidation of first plunges into the system, and our original photos shot on film, and finally progressing to a more polish

Multiple times, it stayed 'unknown' and pristine for a long time http://ninjito.com/_2012-04-07 When we turned the corner and saw it, I guess we nearly passed out, we'd been looking for it for years :)

Oh man, the piece on the Buran is simply horrible. We managed to slip in just before COVID lockdown, somewhat lucky to have seen it before it got rinsed.. And sure, les ateliers seemed to be affairs of bras-honneur ..

I was referring specifically to the Sprague that was used in the Journée de la Patrimoine (which was sadly banned post 2010 I believe). It was well hidden, but then got trashed a few times with 'low effort' painters (throwing of p

It depends on the system. Paris metro tunnels are constantly lit. It's less than station lighting, but more than enough that you don't need a lamp with you. It's definitely an oddity, most systems are unlit (Barcelona has ent
