Heh, well ok, I didn’t know but when abroad and you need to use google, it can be slightly tricky to use if you don’t know the local language.

So if you use :-

http://www.google.no/en

It’ll change your default language to english – this also works with changing back to anything like

http://www.google.co.uk/ru

To swap yourself to Russian – very helpful – previously i was also hand adding ?hl=en to do a similar thing.

Another tip, if you cancel the flight – you can claim back flight duty and tax even if you can’t claim on the airfare – and that’s normally a reasonable chunk of change for long flights!
