guys, a couple of things for the 100% unanswered challenge:

1) Please vote on http://travel.stackexchange.com/questions/51394/reliable-mastercard-atms-in-antigua/53970#53970

2) Please close http://travel.stackexchange.com/questions/48880/how-long-do-i-have-to-stay-out-of-singapore-before-returning-for-another-tourist - it's a 100% duplicate

2:18 PM

I have done the first but I am not sure the second is a duplicate

Is there no distinction between visa-free visit/VOA and proper visas in Singapore ?

2:40 PM

@JonathanReez It's closed now

I reopened it (didn't realise the super-power works both ways), India and Indonesia are not in the same category as far as Singapore is concerned (e-visa vs. no visa), it's by no means obvious that the same rules apply

@Relaxed oh okay, I didn't realize that

I just found out on Wikipedia, the official website is very short on details

Or maybe I did not find the right site

@Relaxed Did you reopen it? My close vote seems to have disappeared

2:57 PM

Yes I did, my vote counts for five one way or the other

It was briefly closed, but I don't need anybody else's opinion to reopen a question

(wasn't my intent incidentally, I did not realise it works both ways)

@GayotFow Yesterday my listening Johnny Cash got you in your country archive, now I am listening to Collie Buddz, do you have a reggae archive as well? ;)

@Relaxed No, I don't have reggae. I moved from Johnny Cash to Hank Williams Jr and then to Humble Pie. You caused me to waste about 90 minutes! Naughty!

You can check this if you want to try anyway: youtube.com/watch?v=fW0b5p-QmaU

@Relaxed Do you know if we got our close vote back to replenish our quota?

You need five other people to fight me!

Or a mod obviously

@Relaxed Not fighting, just want my vote back :) I like to use them

Listening to your recommended video now

3:11 PM

Oh, I thought you meant on the same question, is there a global quota?

Worse case, you can wait until tomorrow I guess

People get 20 closes a day. It's terrible when they are depleted

You often seem to take these things way too seriously, waiting a few hours to close a question is seldom “terrible”, relax :)

@Relaxed It is the same zest that causes me to celebrate when England scores

or when the Redskins score...

Or when Eintracht Frankfurt scores :)

Or even when the Daggers score LOL, love them too

I'm taking the Eurostar tomorrow. Can't wait to be delayed at Calais.

I'm packing loads of food and a sleeping bag.

Just in case.

4:14 PM

@JoErNanO to where?

JoErNanO

4:31 PM

London on my way to wales.

5:04 PM

@JoErNanO Don't forget your smartphone/tablet/computer to ask for advice on delays and compensation here while you are stranded!

@JoErNanO if all fails, just take a walk! bbc.com/news/uk-33830076

5:31 PM

@JoErNanO why in Wales?

5:59 PM

JoErNanO

@Relaxed Will do. Laptop is charging now. :)

@JonathanReez That's why I'm backpacking. :D

@GayotFow Visiting a university.

6:53 PM

@JoErNanO Keep your ears tuned for migrants on the roof

@GayotFow same shitty food, now in your favorite app store!

@JonathanReez Did you try it? I thought it was really new

@GayotFow nah, but I assume they use the same restaurants, most of which are shitty after the security checkpoint

@JonathanReez I get it, you are saying the cuisine is ultimately shite no matter how you order it, right?

@GayotFow yep

it would be truly revolutionary if one could order food from OUTSIDE the airport to be delivered straight to the gate

7:05 PM

@JonathanReez Maybe a regional airport serving light craft

What's accomadation? Accommodation for a madam?

9:25 PM

@Relaxed 5 days is too much

In what sense ?

Nobody should spend more than 5 days of his or her life in San Francisco ?

Many people do, apparently…

@Relaxed I did

but after it gets old

I did not, I have been there for 3 days IIRC

LA is better

I could spend a month in LA

I don't know about that but LA was certainly an experience

It's much more different from Europe than SF, perhaps
