The one about removing tourists from your photos was my fav. Yours?

Also added mention for this tool someone posted yesterday in the Argentina default thread.

It allows you to compare costs of living in any two cities in the world. Super useful tool for helping you make a decision as to where to spend long trips or live :

the free internet at airports would be useful. It can be a bit nightmarish when you arrive in a new country and there's no wifi in the airport. If you need something like to look up a hotel reservation (if you forgot to save it before taking off), or to make a phone call through skype, it's difficult without wifi. You'd be surprised at some of the airports that don't have free wifi. Even JFK doesn't have free internet.. you have to pay ridiculous rates for wifi.

Lots of airports that even do have free wifi, have a useless system. In Singapore I landed and checked the wifi, it sends a confirmation number via text to your phone after entering your number. One small problem is my phone with a Thai sim card had zero signal/service there.

In Singapore airport if you go to the information booth you can get a passcode to access the internet. Just need to show them your passport.

Airport wireless is worthless. I flew for the first time in 5 years recently and a DFW they had some bullshit where it was free for 30 minutes and it was slow as fuck (about 2-3 megabits with full signal). So I whipped out my phone and tethered over USB, bang 48 megabits!

I found that second link to be pretty accurate. Would have to modify to your personal lifestyle though (i.e. never buying a car)

You can access it via the computers they have all around. Never tried it on the wifi, didn't know how to connect.
