Are laws about sex outside marriage less rigorously enforced in Dubai for people on layovers? That could almost be a kafkaesque setup! :) |

Are laws about sex outside marriage less rigorously enforced in Dubai for people on layovers? You guys are right: the laws do apply, but are less likely to be as strictly enforced when in transit. Though I would not advise having sex in, say, the transit bathrooms, either with your wife or boyfriend. |

To compare, 'we' should not respect the Taliban's right to keep girls out of school, or Israel's right to keep Palestinians from their own land. The only thing 'we' have to accept is that we will be treated according to their laws when entering their country, as you first say. |

Shopping, Sights, Sounds, Smells & Tastes of Thailand Also, the Golden Triangle is generally considered the area where Laos, Myanmar and Thailand meet. That is, north of Chiang Mai, not as far down as the coast in Phuket. |

Ship items back home while traveling? I find that while delivering to less developed countries is often less reliable, sending from less developed countries is seldom a problem, at least as far as your goods arriving is concerned. Regular mail does indeed tend to be less careful with the goods, though. |

Is it possible to make a decent income from travelling the world? @Rob: I don't really think there's an essential difference between being a freelancer who's on the road and one who isn't. The same caveats apply. If anything, you'd probably have to be even more reliable than when not traveling. |

Thailand, Laos, Vietnam,Cambodia, Burma in 10 days Your question is very broad, but as Ankur suggested, stick to Thailand, or, at most, Thailand and Cambodia. |

What are the 'hidden' parts of Paris worth visiting/experiencing? I can't really answer your question as RoflcoptrException explains, but I can suggest a tool for exploring the city in an unconventional way: deriveapp.com/app (Disclosure: my app). |

Using local transportation in Malta? I seem to remember that the bus network on Gozo is less than ideal. |

What is the best source of information for ATM availability? I just checked the MasterCard locator for Dar es Salaam and it's wildly inaccurate. :( |

How to stay connected with friends, family while abroad? At 85 euros for a starter package, I find this travelsim mightily expensive, even though I'm impressed that in many countries, receiving calls is free (though they don't seem to state what it costs to call a travelsim number, but as travelsims use the Estonia international dialing prefix, I suppose it's the cost of calling Estonia). Also cool: calling from Skype to travelsim is free. |

Old passport number mentioned in visa for Kuwait I'm not convinced this is correct. I'm quite sure that even if you have your old passport and the new passport does not explicitly state it replaces the old passport, mentioning it by its number, it will not work. |

List of carpooling services outside Europe and the US? Or not so super. There's not much activity on the hitchwhiki website. It's got the concept down, but seemingly not the users to make it practically usable. What I'd like is something like hitchhikers.org that's used outside of Europe. |

How dangerous is India for solo women travellers, or female-only groups? Is this on-topic? There is no definite answer to this question. |

Abu Dhabi to Muscat? But... renting from Dubai does require you to purchase an Omani insurance, which costs 60 euros for 7 days for a small car. That's more than 50% of the rental price. :( |

Abu Dhabi to Muscat? Thanks for that. It's indeed an alternative I'm considering. Rent is cheap, less than 20 euros per day. |
