hehe you don't have to deal with dozens of whiny top-heavy-ers whining that it's not a real christmas in australia - like jesus was from south london or new jersey!
no i've been back for twenty days and have mad my first repayment on my credit card debt (-:
i just realized how badly we need a derogatory term that covers people from anywhere in the entire northern hemisphere (-;
There's definitely some kinds of tags that need to stay even with a single use: destinations and airport codes. (The very same situation will occur on the new patents.SE site where all posts should be tagged with the patent numbers they discuss.)
In my opinion all other kinds of tags here should...
When travel.SE was shiny and new I asked a very similar question which became a point of controversy but in the end it has remained open and thought to be on-topic under the circumstances.
Sadly I left the tent I bought in Bulgaria in the van of some guys I travelled with for a couple of days. H...
i bet he included vatican city but not tibet, and probably vacillated about taiwan but went anyway, what about somalia which has no current sovereign??
what do you think about re-introducing a new-years-eve tag? i'm sure we discussed it a year ago and decided no
but it seems the tagging then is split between "public holidays" and "seasonal"
and we do have a good number of good nye questions
I think it was merely a case of 'seasonal' tag being misused. NYE is a already a synonym of public-holidays, and the tag wiki for public-holidays explicitly mentions NYE too.
The way I see it, public-holidays is for a defined set of public holidays; 'seasonal' is more for, say, 'I want to go see the Northern Lights at North Pole' (only possible in winter)
hmm so how would this situation compare to the situation with lumping/splitting language name tags?
basically if a huge relative portion of one tag (such as public holidays) is taken up by one specific thing (such as new year) then it might warrant a tag of its own
I'm going back home to Virginia for the Thanksgiving holiday and I'll be taking a taxi to Boston Logan. I've noticed that in the past, the cabbie tends to take a longer route, and I was wondering if was bad etiquette to dictate which route I'd like him/her to take.

Wow. I want to thank ...
@halime: Your "thank you" edit shouldn't really be in the question, as questions are intended to help everybody who finds them via a web search, not just the original asker. I suggest that you should move it to a comment right here. — hippietrail20 secs ago
The murder of Tim McLean (October 3, 1985 – July 30, 2008) occurred on the evening of July 30, 2008. McLean, a 22-year-old Canadian man, was stabbed, beheaded and cannibalized while riding a Greyhound Canada bus about 30 km west of Portage la Prairie, Manitoba traveling the Trans Canada Highway.

I read that while tipping in Poland is standard, you should not say "thank you" to the waiter when he takes the cash if you are expecting change. Otherwise, he will assume that the amount overpaid is his tip. Thus, if you want to leave less of a tip than what you gave, you should hold all "thank ...
