Where in the world knowing Russian and English will not be enough? "In Western Europe should be relatively easy to find someone who speaks English" Impossible in Spain, hard in France and Italy. |

Is it allowed to carry “a knife” or “a pepper spray” while traveling by road in the Schengen area as a woman? If you're asking specifically about knifes, question title should be about knifes, not "cold weapons". Especially given that in many countries knifes are legal to carry because the are not considered weapons. Also gender is irrelevant to it's legality. |

How can I find the arrival gate for a flight? Also, typically arrival gate == departure gate for the next return flight. |

What non third world country would allow me to work temporarily? -1: Schengen is not EU, EU is not Schengen. For example he'd need work permit for Switzerland. |

Overtaking regulations when driving in Europe As far as I know, overtaking on right is not infraction if it's road with divided carriageways or one way carriageway; or the carriageway has at least three lanes in your direction. Also I do agree that it's not the safest way, but I wouldn't say that it's uncommon. |

Why do travel sites always show per-person accomodation price on a basis of 2 travelers sharing the same room? I believe you mean vacation packages, which are indeed mostly meant for couples. Few people go on vacation all alone. OTOH, for example Booking.com let's you choose criteria (price per single, per double etc.) |

One hour layover sufficient to get through customs? @Mark: Norway is Schengen Zone, but not UE, so he might be selected for random customs check. And for outgoing flight he has to go through passport check (going from Schengen part of airport into non-Schengen). |

How to stay connected with friends, family while abroad? I wouldn't say that it provides significantly lower prices than roaming in Europe for outgoing calls. |

Is it wise to pretend to be Christian to safely travel through the US? @LJ2: which isn't much different from the case in Poland (except there is no KKK). What I'm saying, that consequences are lot less likely to be lethal or even physically violent |

Is it wise to pretend to be Christian to safely travel through the US? @gerrit: I'd say similar in terms of tolerance, however difference is that in rural US they are armed to their teeth, while Poland is one of the countries with the least firearms per capita. Also murder rate and violent crime rate in US is 5 times higher than in Poland. So in Poland you'd risk getting insulted, not being shot at. |

Are there any US laws that a US citizen MUST obey while traveling, even if those laws do not exist in the country he is traveling to? @jwenting: I'm quite sure, that should the plane overflying Dutch airspace be eg. hijacked, it would be intercepted by Dutch fighters, forced to land in Dutch airport and dealt with by Royal Dutch Marechaussee. |

What are the practical implications for the flag of a ship? I'd add to that protection against pirates. For example ships flying Dutch flag are not allowed to have armed guards on board. |

Why would you wrap your luggage in plastic? I meant they are legally allowed to check any bag (in theory for security threats, in practice for valuables). And they have legal right to open it without your supervision. Stealing part obviously isn't legal. |
