I just can't take an article complaining about ads seriously when it's that peppered with ads …

The average person understands email pretty well.

No, they really don't.

Only if it's installed somewhere beneath the current working directory, whichever that might be when running the command.

“bank accounts in different countries” is not the same as bank accounts “in any country”.

Which is exactly why you need to tell people what currencies and countries apply to you, if you actually want any useful answers.

what benefits do the african cards from Zimbabwe and Somaliland offer that especially favor travelers ?

I think I've heard that banks in Somaliland sometimes offer insurance against pirate attacks, which might come in very handy.

I have bank accounts in different countries […]

In that case the most valuable piece of advice I can give you is that no matter how good contracts you have with your banks currency conversion is never ever for free, so make sure to only use credit cards that you pay in currencies that you have income in or else you'll always unnecessarily waste money by having to convert from the currencies you have income in to the currencies you need to pay your credit card balance. It's utterly unlikely that you'll ever find any credit card that has so good conditions that it'd make up for that loss.

Which brings us back to square one: In order to get any useful advice, you need to tell what currency (or currencies) you have income in, that you'll use to pay your credit card balance.

Any useful answers to this question will depend heavily on where you live and in which currency you're going to pay your credit card balance.

I think Paris is a great city that I really enjoy visiting every time I go there, but you're perfectly right that it's incredibly overrated, anything with that reputation really must be, nothing that exists in reality could possibly come even close to such a myth.

Considering that HSBC is remarkably evil, even compared to other major international banking corporations, this might be a good nudge to stop doing business with them.

The answer to every single one of those questions is: Conan the Barbarian

 

Golden eagles have suddenly attacked four different people across a large geographic area in Norway during the past five days. Ornithologists have no explanation for this abnormal behaviour.
