2d	comment	Where can I socialize with young Japanese people? I count like 4-6 possible questions in there. I get the gist of what you're trying to ask, but it's largely vague and subjective, which as you know is not adhering to the faq. I think it's salvageable, but needs a reedit, for sure.

Jun 14	comment	How does the Northern shore of Lake Balaton compare to the Southern shore? You've asked several questions in one, which makes it difficult to argue, and not in line with the philosophy of the website (see faq). I'd suggest splitting them into several questions.

Jun 14	comment	Can I apply for a Schengen visa from the UK if I am on a tier 5 temporary workers visa? So the question is really - does the tier 5 visa class you as a resident? If so, then you can apply for one from in the UK, and if not, you can't.

Jun 13	comment	How do I get from Tikal to Belize City? by best way, do you mean cheapest, fastest, most scenic? What are you after in terms of transport?

Jun 13	comment	Does condition 8115 mean you can't check your work email? @Andra you fell asleep at keyboard? :)
Jun 13	comment	Advice needed about vacation from Hong Kong Welcome to the site. Firstly, it's best not to type in all capitals. It comes across as shouting. Secondly, as per our faq, asking for opinions isn't the style we're after. Is there a specific question that you have on Hong Kong? Are you after something in particular?
Jun 13	revised	What local sporting events are available in Goa over late December? edited tags; edited title
Jun 13	comment	Why is the baggage allowance on flights to/from Brazil more generous? Yeah I did wonder about whether it was a civil liberties type of thing, but couldn't find anything to back that theory up. Thanks for the links!
