In travel news this week: the Chinese pets earning “snack money” in cafés, a European capital that’s had enough of “drunk” tourists, and the New Zealand airport that’s curtailing caresses.

    This airport tried to be cutesy and put up a sign limiting “hug time” instead of a more generic time limit. Have you ever heard of a “full English breakfast”? We’ll tell you all about it. There’s a café in Tokyo which discourages socializing. Find out why! People in China have pets. Isn’t that cute! Here’s a great tourist attraction in Turkey! Not into that? How about a video game museum in Kyoto instead? Or a theme park in Orlando? But why stop there? Here are some other links to random news tidbits.

    It’s like one of those daytime TV talk shows in text form.

      This sounds like it was written by an AI chatbot.

      People in China have pets.

      So many strange cultural traditions over there!

      Seriously you’ve been in the car together for a relatively long time already. Say your longer goodbyes then

        And the time leaving the car before entering the airport. And the time before getting to the drop-off zone in the airport. Plenty of time.

    A second is long enough. It’s like 1000 milliseconds.

      Depends how fast you’re moving. The key is to approach light speed just as you reach the terminal.

      Read the article. It’s a light hearted way of telling you you can only stop there for a short time to drop someone off.
