The Great Holiday Topic 🏖️

I’m tempted by this, I have a defect of my left ear which it would sit in :joy:

Not magical. Not cheeky. Just processing power & free. And probably infringing US copyright law:

Eek.

Was gonna hold out til Norway to get my nose pierced but boredom got the better of me.

You have bony ears? :astonished_face:

85p for a curry sauce in McDonald’s in Oslo! 85p! They hand them out aplenty here :joy:

Also £1.50 to use a public toilet :hot_face:

Most taxis I seen were Tesla, many electric cars around.

Got chatting to a girl from Hammerfest, and her house was further away than mine here in the UK.

Crazy.

Many people I spoke with from Bergen which is still a trek away.

I wanna do Helsinki at some point, likely got Rome/Italy coming up and then Poland at some point.

We’re the outlier - most of Europe charge.

Fun fact: it’s illegal to see b00ze* after 3am in Oslo/Norway.

The normal spelling is banned :grimacing:

Welcome back @Carlo1460, good to see you.

Norway sounds good, might stray over the border from Sweden on our planned road trip to Stockholm next spring.

I made the mistake of a spur-of-the-moment piercing in 1999. I still have it, but take it from me - don’t get a Prince Albert in your lunch break, especially if wearing pale coloured chinos.

Eeee I’d never get down there pierced :nauseated_face:

Nip and nose, maybe the helix later in the year.

A few people confused me for being Norwegian due to light hair and eyes :joy:

No more than a few drops of blood, they said. They lied.

No chance of me being mistaken for a Scandinavian, sadly. Though these days you can’t tell the hair colour, there’s so little of it left.

Expensive is not the word but this year is a special year so booked bucket list holidays for a change.

Now to lie down for the next 5000 days.

I wasn’t sure whether this belonged in Mobile Networks or here, but I’ve just used Uber in Spain and they were advertising this;

It’s an eSIM provider offering free worldwide (160 countries) data when roaming (basically just email, messaging, and maps), or unlimited 1€ per day for streaming, social media, and hot spot).

There’s one day free unlimited with the code UBERFIRSTY1R1 (it’s not a referral).

I’m in Europe with free roaming anyway, and only found out about it at the airport on the way home, so, no, it’s not a personal recommendation.

It looks interesting for places like the US or Asia etc.

There doesn’t appear to be to be calls or texts, just data.

Sounds like a concert that I don’t want to go to.
