Hi, I heard that people on pensionado visas in Panama get discounts at restaurants, cinemas, etc. Are the discounted prices lower than the prices that everybody else has to pay, or are they just lower than what ordinary foreigners have to pay, but still higher than some (ultra-discounted) prices for local citizens? It doesn't make sense for the Panamanian government to be treating pensionado foreigners better than its own citizens, right? Thanks!

Hi, how do people who live in Monaco find stuff to do on weekends? Given Monaco is so small, do they frequently have to go to France to find stuff to do? If so, which cities do they go to? Thanks.

Hi,

Some say there is a lot of catcalling/sexual harassment towards solo female travellers on certain Moroccan streets. But I was wondering if Morocco is only singled out because it is developed enough to have tourists, so the issue gets more attention?

Because I think safety/civility is generally correlated with a country's level of development, no? So shouldn't some poorer countries in Sub-Saharan African have even worse catcalling/sexual harassment problems? Are they not as well known for that problem only because very few tourists go there?

Or is there some unique cultural factor in Morocco (independent of economic development) that makes it stand out in terms of this problem?

Thanks!

Hi, I just opened a Grab account. Can I just not save any credit card in the app, and instead just rely on my iPhone's Apple Pay feature? That is to say, when I request a ride, can I just pay using Apple Pay, without having configured anything in the app in advance? Thanks!

Hi, exactly where, when, on which days does the rope walk show in Khiva happen? Thanks!

Hi, where and when can I see traditional dance performances in Khiva? I read somewhere that it takes place every day at 6pm at Zindan. Is that true? Thanks!

Hi,

1. Does the Central State Museum in Almaty have displays in English?

2. How good is the museum in State Opera House in Almaty?

Thanks!

Hi,

Some people say Itchan Kala pass is valid for 2 days; some say only 1 day. May I ask which is correct? Thanks!

Hi, Bolivia and Paraguay seem similar in that they are both landlocked countries in South America and are less prosperous than their neighbours. Just curious, is Bolivia's or Paraguay's bureaucracy more corrupt (in terms of doing shady stuff or deliberately being inefficient in the hopes of eliciting bribes)? Thanks!

Hi, regarding the captioned coaster:

1. Can the next person start the ride before the previous person completes their ride entirely? If not, how do they avoid a situation where the next person hits the previous person, given each person can control their speed (so the next person may be much faster than the previous person)?

2. If not, does that mean the queues are very long?

3. What are its opening hours?

4. After you slide down, does it bring you back up, or are you gone from the hill for good?

Thanks!

Hi, even after I have selected English as my language on 2GIS map, most of the place names are still displayed in Russian. Is there a way to get those to show up in English? Thanks!

Hi,

1. Are tickets to Islamic Civilization Center only released one week before the date of visit?

2. I heard the guide will force you to finish everything in 2 hours which is too rushed. Can you just ignore the guide and wander off on your own, so as to experience the exhibition more fully?

Thanks!

Yo, respect to Makhdumi Azam for being a cool historical figure, and I am sure Makhdumi Azam Masjid/Mausoleum is a significant historical site, but is there much to do at Makhdumi Azam Masjid for the average tourist? How high should it be on the Samarkand bucket list? Thanks!

Hi, I am thinking of buying an e-SIM ahead of going to Uzbekistan so that I don't have to waste time buying a SIM card when I get there. But I also heard that e-SIMS have worse coverage than physical SIMs in Uzbekistan. Is this true? Thanks!
