Q: Is it too hot on the Main St in Kansas?

cnstIs it too hot on the Main St in Kansas in the summer? For my trip, I can either go I-80 through Nebraska or I-70 through Kansas. Which is more bearable in the summer, in late June?

surely this is either subjective, or unclear?

I don't understand @MarkMayo 's question. It's either 1) about a scenario like Snowden's, or 2) about a scenario different from Snowden's.
If it's about 1), Snowden is wanted by the United States, and he can't "legally ... travel internationally". He'd be breaking United States law for doing so, regardless of whether he's breaking the law for the country he's travelling from and to.
If it's about 2), then the question is too vague. You ought to specify which country the person is from, why their passport has been revoked, and why they're travelling (eg tourism, or to seek long-term asylum)
'legal; means by law. Whose law? I'd argue he's travelling perfectly legally - he's moving around Hong Kong, Russia, etc.
If you meant "break the law of the United States, but not the country he's travelling from and to", that'd be less confusing.
Well it's obviously not about travelling to/from their own country, as they're on the run, and that'd be illegal. Illegal questions are off topic. I said international travel.
Plenty of people around the world are asking the very same thing - without your country backing your passport, how do you travel?
I found an article fron the bbc asking the very same questions, and giving some answers, which I actually added as an answer.
@MarkMayo Snowden travelling from Hong Kong to Russia would be breaking the law of the United States. Illegal. Off topic.
@MarkMayo nowhere did I talk about Snowden travelling to or from the United States.
no, I did.
justa bove.
he's not breaking the law of the states if he's not in the states, surely. Otherwise they could

(My lunch break is over. Sorry for bailing)
no worries, I udnerstand, at work too
will reply to that last bit in a moment
so basically, what's 'illegal' in the states isn't illegal overseas. The jurisdiction doesn't apply. Otherwise the US could write laws for other countries.
So if he's travelling from Hong Kong to Russia, at no point is he breaking US Law. They've revoked his passport, sure, but if Hong Kong and Russia want to let him in, they can.
(at least, that's my basic understanding of international law)
now IF he travelled into the states, then sure, they could arrest him.
The US Did issue an arrest warrant for him, and some countries have reciprical agreements where they'll extradite a person wanted for arrest
but it's not US law that they have to, that's their own laws.
which is why he's going (probably) to Cuba/Venezuela - the US has no jurisdiction or extradition treaties there.
what's interesting is whether or not he was land-side at the Moscow airport - if he was, then the US has grievances with Russia. But Russia's saying at no point did he enter their country - so presuambly he stayed airside the whole time. A neat trick.
And even if they do have extradition treaties, if the other country feels a person could be in danger, they could grant asylum/refugee status to the person, showing yet again that US law does not apply outside of the US.

Q: Can I apply for another Schengen Visa when I already have a single entry unused one?

RanakhI'm traveling to Belgium for a month for a training and already got my single entry Schengen visa from 29-6 to 13-8 with a 30 days stay duration. My stay in Belgium will be from 30-6 to 28-7 for the training. However, I wish to visit a friend in Croatia and stay there for 7 more days after Belgiu...

@user3212 - [this question ](travel.stackexchange.com/questions/18377/…) was also close-voted as being too broad. It still covers literally hundreds and hundreds of palaces around the world (see comments).
yes, affordable is now defined, but I feel it's still too broad. The similarly titled castle one at least was limited to Europe, no?
And the European castle one garnered 13 answers, we're going to get a 'butt-ton' if you allow the whole world...

Q: Are there any US laws that a US citizen MUST obey while traveling, even if those laws do not exist in the country he is traveling to?

todofixthisIt goes without saying that the laws vary from country to country, and what is illegal in one country might be both legally permitted and culturally accepted in another. For example, in the US the minimum age to legally consume alcohol is (generally) 21, but in many countries, the minimum age is...

we need more questions like this..
not the schengen visa stuff...

Q: How to visit Lake Hillier?

HaLaBiIs it possible to visit Lake Hillier? Do I have to go with tour or can I for example rent a car and go there? I see no roads near it.

every time I read Hitler instead of Hillier
any jews around?
18:56
ok, i hate hitler...
actually, maybe people's who wanted to search about hitler had some typos and been lead to this page?
but i am not aware of any lakes after hitler's name
@Karlson if u r a jewish guy, can i ask u something ?
Sure
at what point, a relation is considered "fornication" between a man and a women?
penetration? or any act will be considred fornication?
Depends on how orthodox of a Jew you will be asking
lets say according to the book...
Personally Oral/Anal/Vaginal sex is fornication
18:59
ok,
Opinions vary
and according to the book?
Actually let me amend that. Any involvement of Genitalia would be considered fornication
ok..
And according to the Book: Opinions vary
19:01
in Islam, according to the book a penetration has to be there to be considred as a fornication..
but people through out history had personal opinion
The problem is that there is no strict definiion
so, some will a man kissing a lady as fornication...
the point is, in the three major religions, personal opinions are always there when it comes to this exact point..
same for christians.. at least in the past ages..
If I remember Torah it says: If a man lies down with a woman
What that means .......
in Islam, it says something else...
Or what it meant 3000 years ago....
19:03
when a man is penetrating a lady and there are 4 witnesses... logically this can not happen.. because where the hell would the 4 witnesses come from!
Must be live pornographic show...
the point i guess from this, is to make it hard thing to be accused of.. so people would not use the "fornication" accusation against anyone.. still people like in iran found many ways to accuse people of this..
same in the dark ages...
old christians found many ways to accuse people of that...
There are Orthodox Jews primarily from Lithuania to whom man touching a woman is like fornication
i had no information about jews thats why i asked...
are they like arabs or what?
:D
Arab jews are close to that any way...
but they are influenced by the arab culture...
Can't say I agree. I've dealt with Jews born in Morocco, Iraq, Tunisia, etc
They assimilated the culture but not completely
More liberal in that way
19:06
Well, I haven't met any of them.. but i have seen a documentary about jews in Yemen.. they are pretty STRICT in this matter..
Not all
May be in Yemen that is true
But in Israel those that came from Yemen are different
well, arab jews are really few.. so no enough information.. all my information is from one documentary.. so it is not really good information..
A lot of them are
Actually just to blow your mind... Yemeni Jews and Yemeni Arabs only differ in Religion
yes...
Genetically nearly identical
19:07
thats what documentary was trying to prove..
i guess the only arab jews who still live in the arab world are in yemen, tunisia and morroco..
and palestine off course..
the rest are moved in the past 60 years..
Actually I don't know if there is any significant population left.
Do you know Khaibar?
Nope
it is the jewish city in arabia..
Yeah. Just read about it.
19:10
it is not any more since 1400 years..
three tribes used to live in whats called Saudi Arabia now..
two of them were living in the same hometown i was raised at.. still have the same name of the tribes up to now
Bani Quraidah, Bani Qaynoqa'a
the two tribes..
we have some intereting beliefs about these tribes.. not sure if u heard about it or not..
you know that jews are masters in magic...
I'm yet to see it.
not sure in this life time ;)
our books says, the armageddon between Arabs and jews will start when jews will try to take these places..
well, this is what they say.. not really sure..
Look. IMHO the most that we (Jews) have suffered for is accumulation of wealth because of facilitation of commerce and banking.
and being cheap :D
We're not cheap! We're thrifty! :)
19:14
at least the jokes say so ;)
There is a great joke about money
A Jew living with his family in a small hut
He prayed to God
"Father, my family is suffering
We have nothing to eat
nothing to drink
Help up please
God replies: Go to sleep
The next morning an udder appears in the ceilinig
So as it continues they start milking it.
They have enough to eat
drink, etc
So the Jew start praying to God again
God, may be you can give us a little money so we can fix up the hut
God replies: Go to sleep
Next morning the udder disappeared
Jew goes: WHY!!!!
GOD: Miracles that's any time, I won't give you money
19:19
last line missing something?
Translating from Russian it's fairly difficult...
:)
I have heard it from an indian guy.. a different version actually..
but retty close...
there is another one about two Yemenies
one muclim and one jew..
yemeni are known to be cheap.. really cheap.. or thrifty as you say...
any way..
I have heard it about Persians.. :)
the muslim one went to the jew one and wanted to convert him to be muslim..
so he entered the house of the jew yemeni..
planning to convence him of islam...
and he brough a gift with him.. a big gift.. (even thou he is cheap)
the jewish guy was happy with the gift...
the yemeni start trying to convence the jew to become a muslim...
but meanwhile, the jew did not provide anything for the yemeni.. not even a glass of water..
so the muslim yemeni was starting to get pissed..
and asked the jew, why didn't u bring anything to me.. i am your guest..
the jew replied "god told us to be cheap"...
the muslim yemeni was impressed.. and converted to be jewish :D
hehehehehehehe
19:25
