I booked a hostel right downtown, and it is nice, but I am realizing I may have made a mistake. As it is loud due to parties and the general enjoyment going on, and I am unfortunately a light sleeper.

People have every right to party, but this is my first film festival ever and I didn't think about obvious noise levels before. I feel silly, but I'm thinking of trying to switch accomodations to somewhere quieter if at all possible even if I have to take a hit in my money.

I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for quieter neighborhoods/areas that are still not too far of a walk from downtown?

I have another request that wasn't in the big guide, but I was really curious if Budapest has any museums about ethnic/linguistic groups related to Hungarians, like the ones in Russia (Udmurt, Mari, Khanty, Mansi, etc.)? I'm very interested in Finno-Ugric history and culture.

Other than Finland and Estonia this seems like a country that would have such a thing if it existed! Thanks for your help.

Hi,

So this might be a weird question, but I didn't see it anywhere in the guide so...

Anyway, back in the year 2012, right around this time of year, when I was a teenaged youngin, I remember sitting at the computer during family vacation listening to videos with titles like "Legjobb magyar diszkó zenék 2012" waiting to go to the beach. and I remember thinking some of the songs were absolute bangers. I had a video but the posts here don't allow those, so I can't post it directly.

I'm going to be here on the weekend. Are there any bars or clubs that play Hungarian music similar to these kinds of songs? I wish to feel 13 on the inside of my mind again.

Thanks for your help!

If someone else invites me to a meeting, I'm still getting 10-minute before meeting phone notification on my Android phone, even though I went into the Google Calendar settings.

What could cause this? I want these turned off, should I just log out of my email on my phone? Would that do it? I need about 2.5 weeks where I don't get any notifications.

I have another train station question!

I have been looking up these two stations because my flight at the end of my trip will be out of Malpensa (MXP) at 11am. I figured that I should go from Bologna to Milan Centrale because it had "center" in the name so I said: huh well that must be the best and have everything.

However, the more I read, I heard it can be big and chaotic and that Milan Cadorna is more central but smaller and it also has a line that will take me to the airport? So I was thinking maybe I should take the train to Milan Cadorna instead and get a hotel near there so I can take Cadorna to the airport. Wondering if anyone has more specifics or suggestions about these two places.

Additionally, does the train (any line) take me right to the terminal/airport area, or do I need to take a bus or some other form to actually get in front of the airport entrance?

Thank you!

This is probably a dumb question, but if I were to wait until I got to a train station to actually buy a ticket, do tickets ever sell out? I am taking a ferry from Zadar to Ancona and then I will take a train from Ancona to Bologna on the 27th of August.

The ferry is going to get there at noon so I might want to eat when I get off, I don't know if the ferry will be late, and the walk to the train station from the port looks to be 27 minutes (I walk slowly).

Maybe these things won't be a big deal, but I still don't want to buy a ticket in advance in this situation because if I'm late to the station I would miss the train. So I guess my questions are:

1. Are there taxis from the port area to the train station? 27 minutes is not a terrible walk and my luggage isn't large but I'd still rather not walk with it if I can help it.

2. Would it be safe to buy a ticket whenever I get myself to the train station or is there a chance they'd sell out? Can I buy one to Bologna from Ancona? I don't know if Ancona is big/popular and if train tickets sell out often.

Thank you!

A large group of us came up to Traverse City, and some of us want to bike to the dunes. We would want to bike around 5-10 miles.

Are there any good recommendations for a bike rental place and route? It would be helpful if we can rent the bikes in one location and then drop them off at our end destination when we finish biking, as not all of us will be biking, some will just drive right there.

So the idea is those of us who want to bike will be dropped off by other friends wherever we can pick up the bikes and then bike to meet up the rest of our group who will be driving.

I haven't biked in forever and generally don't know what I'm doing (this is only my second time visiting the Traverse City) so I would take any suggestions.

Someone at work from another office who will be visiting has asked for four separate locations in our city on a Google Map. Is there a way to put in 4 or more multiple locations, mark those addresses/have the names of the buildings and then save that map?

I've never had to do this with a Google Map before so I'm confused on if this is possible and how to do it.

Location: North America (USA)

Budget: $300 or less

I am not well-versed in headphones and have no idea what is best for me. My job said they would buy headphones for me for work, but I would also just take them with me everywhere and use them anywhere, realistically.

I hate anything that goes inside my earholes because it is very uncomfortable and they fall out. I want something that is:

-Over the ears

-Not super large

-Blocks out some noise but not completely noise cancelling (it feels weird) in case someone needs something from me. But it'd be good to at least mute noises of people talking or chewing cereal so I don't have to completely blast music into my ears when I am getting annoyed.

-Wireless would be nice, but if there are ones that have the option for aux and wireless so I could do both that's cool too.

-I wear glasses and after a while, wearing headphones starts to hurt the back of my ear where the temple/arms of the glasses are, especially my right ear. Anything that minimizes that (if even possible?) would be helpful.

I'm coming back from an international flight into JFK next month and have to move to LaGaurdia to get the flight to my home state. It is 7 hours total. I've never had to switch airports before (I don't fly much) or been to NYC.

Wondering if there's anything close outside the airport that would be fun to go to? I imagine it will obviously take time to get through customs and then go to LGA from JFK, but if I can escape that and have 4-5 hours after: what is fun to eat (because honestly, I'm probably just looking for a restaurant and/or bakery/cafe) outside of LaGaurdia that isn't so far away that I could possibly miss my plane or should I just go to LaGaurdia and call it a day?

I keep hearing that Jadrolinija has a ferry that goes to Ancona, Italy multiple times a week, but when I went to their website to check, it doesn't seem to have any tickets other than four dates that don't match up with my vacation period. Does that just mean they are sold out and I missed the boat (lol), is this ferry less frequent than I thought, or do they just add more dates periodically?

In that same vein, if this one isn't possible, does anyone know of other ferries from anywhere in Croatia to Italy (especially to a city that isn't Venice, as I'd like to see some cities I've not been to)?

It seems like it would be more fun than taking a plane or bus, and I'm trying to book my return flight home from either Milan or Rome.

So my work had a very busy week dealing with a VIP visit. One of the other admin assistants I work with was working on nametags for a dinner and asked in the morning if I could print 2 copies on cardstock since her printer didn't have it. She sent me the file. I printed it.

While reviewing the file I noticed after printing that one of the names had a typo, so I went back and fixed it and reprinted it. I added all of these papers to the folder to give her.

When we met in person at the reception I handed off the file and I mentioned that I found a typo but still had the old sheets in there in case it was needed for whatever reason and for her to not be confused if she sees the extra ones. And then she seemed a bit upset that she had a typo and I feared I made her look/feel bad by mentioning it out loud. We were in the back room with just her, I, and another employee we work close with so it wasn't as bad as it could have been but still not right of me to do.

At that point I was so tired and just yammering off a bunch of details and realized as soon as I said it that I should have just told her over chat instead of mentioning it out loud, or just removed the old pages so it wouldn't have been an issue in the first place, but I wasn't thinking clearly.

I feel really rude about it and I want to find a good way to apologize over text (I won't see her in person for a bit) before many days pass and it'd then be too awkward. If I don't apologize it today it'll eat at me. Maybe she didn't care that much, but in case she does I want her to know that I did not mean it.

Has anyone ever been in a situation like this and has advice? I'm trying to find a good way to phrase my apology. Or am I just overthinking? Should I let it go and just not do it again and call that a day?

The decision paralysis is killing me. I went on my first solo trip ever last year. I went to Bosnia, Croatia, Slovenia, Italy, and then back to Bosnia. I have vacation time from August 17th to September 3rd this time. Since the 17th is a Monday I could leave on the 15th or 16th too.

I thought: well, if I go to the same area of the earth this year I'll have a better idea since I've done it before. But I don't of course and I am running out of time yet again.

All I know I is:

• I want to go to Bosnia for some days during the Sarajevo Film Festival (which is from 8/14 to 8/21)
• It would be cool to visit other Bosnian cities I haven't been to yet like Tuzla, maybe.
• I want to go to beaches and touch water in countries that have The Sea (so going to Croatia again would be cool)
• Also go to Montenegro and Serbia because I'd like to see all ex-Yu countries eventually. Not sure if I have time for Kosovo or Macedonia.
• I did a roundtrip flight last time and I don't like going back and forth so I am thinking of a multi-city style booking.
• I also found that I don't really like it when I stay in a place for one day because I'm basically just worrying about getting to the next place and it is hard to relax so I'd like to minimize that this time.

And those are the only thoughts I have.

I was going to buy a flight to Sarajevo and start there like I did last time, but I came back a few hours later and it jumped in price by nearly 400 dollars, so I am wondering if it'd be better to go to a country I've not been to like Greece (I am very interested) or Hungary. Or even go back to Italy again (I want to try more food there) and travel to eventually get to Bosnia by bus (or train depending on the area, but realistically it'll be a bus) from any of those if the flights are cheaper than one to Sarajevo, which some are.

It is so hard to pick a starting place. Does anyone have any kind of suggestion based on my (admittedly not very detailed) list?

Wondering if I should just book a one-way for now and book another ticket home somewhere later while I keep thinking about it.

There are three days I can choose to leave on and multiple cities from different countries I could fly into for this trip. Is there some app or tool that I could feed these into to quickly get answers to compare or do I just need to go through Google flights manually?

My dad drives around now for a job and the company pays for food so he wants to start a YouTube review channel. I am trying to humor him at this point because I assume he's bored at work.

It doesn't seem like a complicated format as far as content goes, at least to me.

But I was wondering how people actually do it. I'm assuming you get one of those things that holds the phone/camera and then you film yourself eating and talking about it and then edit those clips online before posting. It seems pretty simple, but I'm wondering if I'm missing anything?

So I have had a fruit fly problem for a bit, but now it looks like there are maggots in my trashcan, and all on the inside of the lid in the crevice, which is an area that would be difficult to kill by pouring hot water on them.

This seems to have happened overnight, they weren't there yesterday. I've never had this happen to me before.

It is so gross I want to throw away the whole trashcan but this seems like an overreaction. I don't even have real gloves to touch this with.

What should I buy to get rid of these things? I'll go to the store soon. Can they spread to other parts of my kitchen? Unfortunately, I do not have a hose so I can't spray it down.

I'm really annoyed. :<

Is there anywhere left in town I can find these? I know there was a stand at the Farmer's Market, but they said it was the last time when I went there a few weeks ago, because they had a bad season. :(
