I added a discussion regarding Ëë because it lists u in up and a in above as examples which are very different vowels (u=ʌ a=ə). Notably, the u in up is the same vowel as the *o* in above.* https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Talk:Albanian_phrasebook#%22%C3%8B%C3%AB%22 * Silly jokes about places up north where "up" is pronounced like German, and above sometimes being pronounced ay-bove may also apply. -- debian developer - deb.li/jak | jak-linux.org - free software dev ubuntu core developer i speak de, en

Do they sell eSIM? I do not have a free physical slot. I'll probably go ahead and book global eSIM though, because I just can't be bothered doing the airport stuff. Maybe just 1GB/7d for $9 and then buy a local card for the rest if eSIM is available. -- debian developer - deb.li/jak | jak-linux.org - free software dev ubuntu core developer i speak de, en

The obvious question to ask as someone who does not want to have any cash is: can I pay with credit card (well, debit mastercard)? I prefer to avoid cash as long as it's not massively more expensive or inconvenient. I find it hilarious that their page is only in Portuguese, which is not all that helpful for travellers. I believe the answer is yes, but https://www.aeroportoexecutivo.com.br/tickets/ is just an image and I can't feed the translator with it :( -- debian developer - deb.li/jak | jak-linux.org - free software dev ubuntu core developer i speak de, en

I'm just saying that you can't do that, because you can't get the app, apart from (on Android) fiddling with play store country setting and making sure you don't reach limits for allowed country changes. The provider decided to DRM the app to Brazil, the entire website (have not seen the app obviously) is only available in Portuguese; so I'm just mentioning this so people don't get their hopes up. -- debian developer - deb.li/jak | jak-linux.org - free software dev ubuntu core developer i speak de, en signature.asc Description: PGP signature

It seems fair to me. We had Asia last year, most people are not in Asia, 2020 is in Israel which is basically right between Asia and Africa, so it only seems fair to go back to where we where the longest time ago. 2015Europe 2016Africa 2017North America 2018Asia 2019South America 2020Israel, somewhere between Europe, Africa -- debian developer - deb.li/jak | jak-linux.org - free software dev ubuntu core developer i speak de, en signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Hmm. I think most of my shirts are 100% cotton, I have 3-5 that are 60% cotton, 40% polyester, but that's about it. Most importantly, I think all debconf shirts are cotton. And of course, I have a choice of shorts that is limited to jeans (denim cotton) or cotton. Sandals I don't have, the best I can do is mesh shoes. Seems I missed availability for this year :/ Oh well, it will be fun. -- debian developer - deb.li/jak | jak-linux.org - free software dev ubuntu core developer i speak de, en
