There should be an LP Tunisia Guide app. See discussion in link below.

Old guidebook works fine. Many highly recommended accommodations back then still exist today. I used them + French guidebook + along with additional research to find accommodation while there.

Sim card is cheap, recommend it.

Info links about getting a sim card in Brazil, the airport will probably be the easier place to get. Be aware that international calls from Brazil are complicated and crazy expensive.

A link to hostels, link is to Florianopolis hostels but you can input any of your destinations.
In April it should not be a problem getting hostels, even without advanced booking, although worth noting that in the last week of April the World Ironman Triathalon event takes place in Florianopolis so accomodation will be less easy to get

As above, I spend a lot of time in Moalboal and about half the time I use my data, which by the way may be the answer for you. Buy a SIM card and data only. I spend about three to four hundred pesos a month on data.

Hello. I have lived here for 8 years and I agree with the earlier post. They just assume everyone knows. Coming from the USA I really miss my redundancy of road signs. Don't get me wrong, I love Colombia but driving here is at your own risk. I have used Waze and Google Maps. IMO Google maps is excellent with its live traffic updates, etc. Get a sim card and a data package and you're set. Just take it slow and easy when you are preparing for a turn or road change, etc. Afterall its the journey, not the destination that's important. As said before the roads in that area are usually excellent but there are always exceptions.

Doesn't mention anything about alcohol though.

Might be not much demand for a slab of hot VB cans among Japanese visitors. Many Japanese you see out there are mad cyclists ... doing 1500 km in summer, that sort of thing.

Until 1953 it was illegal to sell alcohol to Indians, but that was changed by President Eisenhower.

Aboriginal People were citizens ("British subjects") from the start in 1788, however in a thousand ways they were ... we had our version of Jim Crow laws. A referendum (constitutional amendment) was passed overwhelmingly in 1967, and Aboriginal Australians were counted in the census, able to vote, and attained various other freedoms.

In 1974 the RDA (Racial Discrimination Act) was passed, and it was a super-Act or meta-Act ... it meant that no other Act at both state and federal level could breach its rules on fair and equal treatment. It was - and remains - world-class law of that type.


We can provide a lot of additional texture when you decide your overall shape.

There are three operators in China. Unicom usually works with foreign phones, China Mobile may work, and China Telecom probably won't.

You need to register your SIM with your passport, and you need to go to a service centre of the telco to do this, not one of the many small shops selling SIM cards. Yangzhou is a fairly walkable city, and your hotel should be able to point you to the right place. The airport, which is really in Taizhou, is pretty small and very much in the middle of nowhere; I don't think there's any place there you can register a SIM.

Can you now buy a SIM card in any hotel in Ethiopia without registering the phone at the airport. What is the cost for 1 hour of usage- texts and email, internet? Thanks!

Thank you for the info. I will use Booking.com to reserve a room for one night at Hotel Esperanza and wander over to the other hotels you mentioned to see if they have rooms available since they are not listed on the booking site.

I have one last question if you can help. On my previous visits, I've not had to use a Mexican sim card on my phone. But now I am looking to do more of Mexico. Is there one sim card that can be used throughout Mexico with no interstate long distance charges? If they are all similar, is there one brand that stands above and value for money.

In Vietnam, traveling north to south for more than 1,000 miles, we used Viettel sim card and got 4GB for 30 days at a cost of USD$13. Hopefully we can get something similar in Mazatlan :-)

Guys, it is my first comment here and next February, will be my first time in India. I'll stay in Rishikesh for a month -- arriving from Brazil via Delhi --, so I'll need a SIM card. Like lifesupport show us above, maybe there is no free SIM card in Delhi anymore. So, I need directions about where I can shop one, when I land there. Can you help me?
