Hey Luigi, why is your country so backward that I can’t even drive from the airport to the city center?

  1. I went to denmark this year and I did no research because I simply thought: European country, so should work out.
    Debit card works without needing to see a single danish kroner. I could simply install the local transit apps and buy tickets online. I installed an app to rent local bicycles for the first time in my life. Shit ain’t hard. Why do Americans think they’ll die if they don’t use their own countries money and modes of transportations?

  2. Is there any ways to charge my phone while I’m in Venice or should I bring 5 external batteries ? Since it’s Europe and not Africa maybe they have a village’s socket where everyone can do some charging ?

    If I have to send a message to my family do they have internet or should I find a telegraph office ?

  3. Because of the taxi mafia, and I wish it was a joke

    Edit: oh nvm it’s venice. I thought the joke was about the fact we don’t have uber, only later it hit me that you know, venice is on the fucking water

  4. What kind of animal uses hard currency? I haven’t touched money since before corona. My entire wallet is literally one debit card (which I don’t use 95% of the time because of my phone / smart watch). That’s it.

  5. You don’t understand how real is the struggle.

    Years ago a rich Russian tourist planning to go to Venice for the first time, asked for a VIP-class transfer from Marco Polo airport to her hotel near St. Mark’s Square. When her travel agent specified the transfer would be by motor boat, she was horrified and demanded it to be by Mercedes S class. Her travel agent eventually convinced her that it is not possible to arrive to St. Mark’s Square with a car.

    Fast forward to when she returned to Moscow.

    The audacious bitch was so audacious she went to her travel agency and made a whole scene saying she was scammed by the agency and its italian partners: she saw it was quite possible to reach St. Marks’ square with the car, they have scammed her because the vip-class motorboat costed too much and a transfer by vip-class car would have been much cheaper.

    The travel agency confronted her asking if she ever saw a car on St. Mark’s square.

    She answered that infact she did not, but she walked all around Venice and she saw cars could fit in the city sidewalks, that St. Mark’s Square is quite big and there was probably underground garages hidden by the heinous Italians. Moreover, she got to know that Mestre is actualy Venice, and she saw cars in Mestre. So everybody was clearly trying to steal money from her.

    The travel agency showed her proof that car traffic is forbidden in Venice city center (the island part) and as a result, she ran away yelling to the poor travel agents they lost their best client.

    She actually never went to that travel agency again.
