@JoelDamien You'll hopefully get to Bali soon!

@monkeyzeus Would you be okay with dissociating your account from the question OR redacting further? Here's the guidance on question deletion requests: travel.stackexchange.com/help/…

Just voted too, 3 days to go!

@Belle-Sophie Keep the evidence or a log or notes of conversations with the hotel (electronic is better). Most banks and card companies will have procedures for "chargebacks" in case of a dispute but if Booking.com fixes it, then you don't have to deal with that.

I remember I think it being one of our suggestions for the name of this site way back haha

I am totally down for changing our entire branding to Hippetrail

Oh yeah I actually don't remember. Maybe it's for complex queries only?

SEDE?

@gagravarr I've had similar situations with GWR where they reclassified the train or had wifi down. Took aaaaaaaages to get compensation but they did cough up after months of back and forth (their email support is exceptionally slow). Use resolver.co.uk - they only really responded when I was about to ratchet up the complaint to Transport Focus.

The worst tasting boarding passes are those from Tiger Airways: horrible, grey recycled receipt paper. Yuck.

One could almost say I ate it up

@ZachLipton When Apple announced Passbook and airlines started offering it, that was such a "But but this changes EVERYTHING" day for me haha

Also I have a general confession to make: the reason I prefer online checkins and mobile boarding passes (rather than paper boarding passes I can collect from the airport) is because...I have a habit of eating paper and had times when I've eaten my boarding pass on particularly boring layovers. 🙈

@JimMacKenzie Thought I'd continue here: so yeah when I use the airline-specific PNRs, they all throw me over to BA. Dang integrated (but not enough) Oneworld carriers! [shakes fist]

Among other scenarios when votes get readjusted

Yes, it felt jarring the first time it happened for me too. :) Happens randomly every now and then when accounts (often suspended users or spammers) get taken down.

@Dorothy Seems to "downvotes" are due to invalidated votes from an unrelated user. No evidence of concerted downvoting as far as I can see on mod tools. Let's not start witchhunts here. :)

@GayotFow Was about to restore your comment but the question itself is deleted now.

Google Translate can translate photos as well

I almost missed a flight once trying to find snake

the food markets are amazing!

how's Taiwan?

hahahahaha

Momos and a lot of spicy sauce I can't handle

Just got back from Nepal!

Hello hippietrail!

so it's often last resort to have Community Wikis

Travel.SE / SE in general is a QA site first rather than a wiki

For say South Korea, would be good to monitor if we're getting a high volume of similar queries.

Generally we try to look at volumes, i.e., UK visas and Schengen we tend to get a LOT of very similar / dupe like questions. (There's a meta discussion going about forming a Community Wiki for them.)

true, it's best form to comment - I'd recommend chat here actually, since otherwise the comments section just devolves into an extended chat

so yes it's possible that people clicked Leave Open without leaving a comment

It doesn't give the option to leave a comment directly through that process - it's meant for quick reviews

@mts When questions are reviewed in the queue for close / open via this link travel.stackexchange.com/review

the automated message says "moved" when it should say copied

The wording is a bit weird yeah

@Fiksdal chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/44726/…

Can someone help me with a community effort to delete the tag?

So about the above

Hey all I'm back!

but even in India it's a fashion accessory

because traditionally it was a symbol of a woman's fertility, when she gets married etc

@HeidelBerGensis Personally, I don't but for some people it does. At music festivals as well people bear such "bindis" it's considered to be cultural appropriation

I already know what they mean, just thought it would be interesting question for those who didn't

@HeidelBerGensis Would you like to expand the comment and make it an answer? :)

Recognition (or the lack of it) is not always mutual

I guess but I would perhaps want them to clarify whether it's because someone coming to france or going from france to X

@mts @CMaster yep already done!

@Fiksdal The wording StackExchange is quite confusing in these scenarios, as it does leave the original comments behind rather than "moving" them in the sense of deleting the originals. It's meant to encourage any further conversations to happen in this chat room, rather than actually removing the original thread.
