[1, 2] Both are quite bad issues. Also, that they run against the local regulations in several countries, undermining authorizations that for better or for worse have been in place for decades. Of course, it's sometimes good to review whether said authorizations should be updated - but the fait accompli way they use does not remotely amuse me.

Bad translation... Should be Mr. *Su* (蘇先生) instead.

Re: English-speaking taxi number?
Asking help from my hotel’s reception and they give me this taxi driver’s number: Mr. So 0935 294 878 They told me this driver could speak English and you could call him when you are looking for taxi. Probably he could help find one for you. And I guess it’s still safe to have a Chinese address of your destination so that you could show it to the driver when the taxi arrived.

Re: Day Trip option "Biking Tour D" 17 km coast line
Hi, does somebody already know where and how to rent bikes for the trip? I suggest *not* to use the public bikes. They seem to be fine for short trips, but are probably not very nice for a nice, convenient day trip tour. It seems, that we need 22 bikes atm. TIA & Cheers

Hello, We added in the volunteers system [1] the tasks to "Check Meal Tickets" and to take care of the "Meal Labels", it would be nice to have some volunteers to those tasks. [1] https://debconf18.debconf.org/volunteers/
