    Should I stay or should I go (EuroZone)

    It appears you have me confused with someone else. Either that, or you have chosen to deliberately misrepresent my position. Attitudes such as yours will do nothing more than inflame an already difficult situation.

    Should I stay or should I go (EuroZone)

    In the European Union, DV is a serious problem in the Baltic States. Ah yes. So many Muslims in the Baltic states.

    How do current affairs affect your travel plans?

    I lived in Tokyo at the time of the subway gassings, which came a couple of months after the big Kobe quake. It was just generally a very depressing mood, and a little bit eerie travelling on the subway, but of course essentially no physical danger. Then again after 3/11 I basically watched...

    Should I stay or should I go (EuroZone)

    I completely agree. There is no "Muslim race". Ignorant superficial prejudiced nonsense, yes. Racist, no.

    So if I want to book a member's rate a year from now, I'd have to buy A+ to be entitled to use it? That seems a little unfair.

    Should I stay or should I go (EuroZone)

    It is difficult to be more educated than I, most people need to work for a living. Whether that matters or not is a different question. If you have not heard Muslims denouncing extremism then you have not really been listening. A lot of extremists today are indeed Muslims. But the vast vast...

    I was thinking probability-wise perhaps Flyertalk... and found indeed that one bottle would not even be considered newsworthy.

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    I came back from LHR on SIA yesterday and received a very nice present to commemorate my millionth mile with them, which was a pleasant surprise. I cannot imagine that happening on Emirates or Etihad. I also heard a story about a passenger who guzzled a bottle of champagne and then proceeded to...

    Transfer from cruise docking at Yokohama Japan to Haneda Airport.

    Technically, yes. In practice, all trains will continue on to Shibuya and beyond. Including expressway tolls, the taxi fare should still be comfortably under AUD100. Taxi company Nihon Kotsu's calculator puts it at 7,030 yen.

    Transfer from cruise docking at Yokohama Japan to Haneda Airport.

    I would just get a taxi. It is only around 30 minutes away. Otherwise you can walk to Nihon-Odori station in around ten minutes and get a train from there to Yokohama station to get the limousine bus or another train, but not worth doing with luggage in my opinion. Taxi to limousine bus at...

    What's your prediction on the Australian Dollar?

    Yes, centrally planned economies have done so well in the past. Because governments are known to be highly competent and altruistic when immune from market forces.

    What's your prediction on the Australian Dollar?

    About time too. Hopefully the RBA follows suit.

    What's your prediction on the Australian Dollar?

    The RBA will have failed if it allows speculators and carry-traders to win. AUD is still overvalued relative to fundamentals. That, and I have more money I need to convert.

    Similarly, there is no evidence that there is no hierarchy to the 4 entry criteria nor any evidence they are not mutually exclusive.
