comment Where to see the last Arabian flag in Andalus (Spain) and history of Andalus in general
@HaLaBi: note that if this is the flag, it was most definitely not the last flag or last war of the Arabs in Andalusia. The Nasrid dynasty in Granada lasted until 1492.

comment What is the fastest speed a passenger airplane flies at?
i.e. the sound barrier is an actual barrier in airplane design: hard to get through but if you manage it, things get easier.

comment Is it better to ask a question in English or Japanese if you are expecting a reply in English?
I recently had the opposite case: I notcied some fellow tourists in Spain talking in Japanese and started a casual conversation in Japanese. They replied in English "Oh, you speak Japanese?". And no, my Japanese wasn't broken.

comment How to get from the North Sea to the Black Sea (or Aegean/Adriatic Sea) via inland waterways?
Note that the Rhine-Main-Danube canal is hundreds of kilometers away from both the two rivers' sources and the Alps.

comment Is it necessary to buy travel health insurance for my trip to South America?
wait - travel insurance would have cost you $300? That's insane, a travel health insurance policy costs about $10 to $15 here!

@Patrick: Many insurance companies offer travel health insurance with global coverage. The company you get your normal health insurance from may have an add-on offer, which probably reduces the beaurocratic process.

comment Can I buy Travel Insurance against the cancelation of a Formula 1 race?
Something to keep in mind: It's pretty much guaranteed that the expected value of buying this insurance is negative, i.e. the insurance will cost more than the probability of the event getting cancelled multiplied by your lost expenses. Otherwise, selling this insurance would lose the company money. Rationally, you should only buy insurance against rare events that would bankrupt you totally. Otherwise, you're basically paying money for peace of mind.
