Where To Buy Dji Phantom 1 Or 2 In Manila

Can I carry ps4 in flight?

If you mean carry-on, yes.    If you mean actually holding it, yes... if you want to look weird and potentially get mistook for someone holding a bomb. You can't use it in flight so you'd be better off checking it.   I've taken mine from Australia to the US and back several times in checked - never a scratch.

How long does it take USPS first class to reach India from the USA?

Your question needs to be more specific because you state from the USA to India but my bets are you mean “from where ever you mail it”. It takes about 3 to 4 days to get from New York to San Francisco and be processed with other outgoing first class international mail. One day to leave the U.S. and one more day to make it to India. So about 6 days to reach India but then it goes through India’s custom’s service and that usually takes them about 5 to 6 days to get to it and process it, as they don’t staff workers as high as the U.S. Then it takes about 3 to 4 additional days to be delivered, so it will take about 14 to 16 days total to be delivered. Once it leaves U.S. air space, it is considered in India’s hands or the airline’s hands if it is to be transferred to additional aircraft while on its way to India but once it leaves U.S. air space, it’s definitely no longer in U.S. hands.

What are some of the most corrupt airports?

A second vote for Denpasar, Bali. When you arrive, there is supposed to be a queue to ask for a taxi ticket to the hotel, but in my five times through that airport with a lot of searching and asking, I have yet to find that mythical taxi queue. Instead, there are a barrage of taxis touting themselves all with no meter. And, the ATMs at the airport are often finicky with overseas cards so you have to take your chances with currency conversion. I once arrived alone and someone picked up my (small, rolling) bag on the way to the taxi and then demanded a tip for return of the bag.Before my return trip, I had been caught in a monsoon and ended up buying a perfectly ordinary umbrella at an extraordinary price. It was not a collapsable umbrella and it was too big to fit in my modest-sized suitcase. Security confiscated it before I checked into my flight saying that it could not go on the plane. I was a bit fed up on that trip, so upon check-in I asked for the head of security and asked about their umbrella policy. I ended up getting it back and checked it as I had luggage allowance to spare.It is extra scary to think that Bali really needs to have good security in place when this lack of organization and rule-bending demonstrates otherwise.I do like Bali, and I would not say that everyone is like this there, but there are some people that really do try and get one over on tourists.

What is the best selfie you have ever taken?

I would rather say memorable selfies.First of all, I apologize for the poor quality images. My front camera is the worst.Here’s my first memorable selfie. I haven’t uploaded this one on Facebook. It’s a Quora exclusive photo.Well, this is my first United States of America selfie. See the flag above?I haven’t posted that photo because I find it very unflattering. I’m finding the right angle to capture a good selfie with the American flag and that was the result - an ugly shot. That’s not my best selfie but a memorable one. I can still remember how exciting it was to be able to see America for the very first time. But, I ended up disappointed knowing that US rules won’t allow me to step outside our vessel because I haven’t got an American Visa that time. I was so green with envy when my colleagues went offshore to go to Walmart and Target. It might not be such a big deal to most of you but I want to experience American grocery shopping.We were leaving Tampa, Florida for Brazil when that photo was taken.Next photo would be this one.Another unflattering photo. I look fat and I don’t have a neck. Anyway, the guy in the uniform behind me is General Ronald Dela Rosa. He is the Director General of the Philippine National Police. He is very popular in the Philippines.Next photo.That was just my first Japanese bathroom selfie.And the last is this one.I wonder where he is now. I am his master. I made him. Without me he would not exist.We use this dummy during emergency drills. This dummy can be easily mistaken as a real person. This dummy scared the hell out of a lot of crew especially those crew who do round checks at night. Some crew just love to play jokes onboard placing this dummy anywhere they would want to.
