Further south like ... Spain?

What was the saddest individual fate that you witnessed? Which one made you angry the most?

Do you think that there will be a time when people live and work on Mars?

I teach Physics (and Maths) and sometimes pupils ask why it's necessary e.g. to examine Mars to buy a multi billion € particle accelerator "when nothing useable comes out of it". What is your answer, or don't people dare to ask you that question ;-)

Two years ago I visited London with a friend who is in a wheelchair due to spina bifida.

We were very positively surprised, how good it's possible to get around in such a large city. The tube was useless for most parts of the inner city, but busses and taxis were great, and drop kerbs everywhere.

Is the rest of GB like this as well? Do you find it difficult to get around? Which obstacles are the most annoying?

How do you plan to go to the toilet during your trip through Europe? I know that finding a suitable toilet can be quite a challenge.

My friend isn't as athletic with her wheelchair, we just waited for the ramp or I pulled her in or lifted her up, but we were very positively surprised about the lack of problems we ran into.

There is a similar system with the radar key over here, too, for public toilets in Germany, Austria and Switzerland and maybe some sites outside of that as well. I don't know if this is interesting for you, but it's called "Euro WC-Schlüssel".
