Sadly it also has a very corrupt education system. We've all seen the photos of parents outside of exam rooms pushing the answers into the rooms. I've worked with plenty of Indian graduates and I...

Two thirds of Indians live in poverty. 68.8% live on less than $2/ day, over 30% live on less than $1. 25/ day. I'd call that third world country standards. Oh, and yes, I've been to India 11 times...

You can still shed virus cells months after having the virus. One of the tennis players who can to Australia for the Open had covid in November and tested poitive just before his flight last week. He...

This would make quaratine more bearable.

If you're coming from a first world country then I would think you would need proof of vaccination before you leave. If not, you would need it on your return or have to go into quarantine. That will...

Thailand wouldn't be any different. $20 be spread to every Thai would be $285 each. Absolutely nothing. His wealth would be held in property and other assets, not just cash in the bank.

I've done Singapore to Istanbul which was pretty easy. If you have a star alliance gold card then you can use the huge lounge at Istanbul airport, which is really nice. Turkish airlines fly to lots...

Outside of the USA, most countries do not have chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. If a airline goes into administration, like Virgin Australia has, they can try to trade out or be sold off, but they...

I have a Visa card and a Mastercard, both are accepted everywhere I go. I used to have an Amex but it got cancelled due to lack of use.

I think this is closer to a normal flu than something like Ebola or other hemorrhagic type fever. Flu does have a low mortality rate compared to Covid 19, but I think a lot of people are catching...

I think the "Bring out your dead" part from Monty Python and the Holy Grail is the most appropriate sketch now.

This video is a sketch from a comedy show. I saw it a week or so ago on a wechat group I'm in. If you can find a better quality video you'll see the writing behind the people is not English.

The problem with travelling there now is that your return flight might get cancelled and you're stuck there. The USA has issued a "Do not travel" warning, so anyone from the US with travel insurance...

I stay for about 9 months a year in Wuhan where the virus came from but luckily left about 2 weeks ago for my holiday. The reason for where it has hit is the direct flights fom Wuhan to Seoul and...

I've been there 3 times, always with my family. It's a nice place if you just want to laze by the pool / beach. I was there in Sept for the first time in 5 years and I was really surprised at how...

I can't remember where I was when I set up my account but it was probably Australia. If you know someone in the UK or Europe you could try using their address and your phone number. I use both my Aus...

It's an account I have in Singapore that I get paid through and then on-transfer some money to Australia. It's all a bit complex to explain here, it's for tax, income splitting and asset protection...

All these transfer companies work the same, they don't move money internationally unless they are short. It's basically a matching system that offsets people in country A sending to be with people...

The fee is $26 outgoing from my bank and $30 ingoing to the Currencyfair bank. I usually transfer between $10,000 and $12,000 per month, so the fee is small and I usually make up more than that on...

I use CurrencyFair to transfer money from my Singapore account to Australia. It costs EUR 4 per transaction but my Singapore bank slugs me pretty heavily, about US $56 per tranaction. I do get a much...

Depends whether that includes their hotel or not. If they are paying THB 1,500 for their hotel then 4,300 probably isn't more than others would spend. On a 2 day trip to Bangkok I would spend 10,000,...

I haven't even spoken to an immigration officer in Australia since the smart gates were introduced.

I was flying with Singapore Airlines from Singapore to London one time with my wife and 5 year old daughter. They wanted to sit us all separately so I spat the dummy. Ended up with my wife and...

If you have a Windows 10 laptop then it can act as a hotspot for up to 8 devices, even when incoming wifi is on. I don't know how this works but I've used it on my laptop before when travelling and...

You can try using your laptop as a hotspot.

This is dependent on the band you are using. If it's GSM then it should work, CDMA won't work. When I buy phones in the US I always buy AT&T compatible...
