I'm thinking, for a change, of not buying a local SIM (or eSIM) for my upcoming trip to Switzerland.

Hmmm worth a try I think.

Set against tourism resurgence, Tochigi Prefecture rolled out its first-ever “super luxury tour” last November. Pulling out all the stops, the tour whisked affluent travelers from Tokyo to Okunikko via helicopter, offering an exclusive, picturesque escape with no congestion.

More Grant’s zebras are in the wild than any other species or subspecies of zebras. Unlike Grevy and mountain zebras, they are not endangered.
Grant’s zebras eat the coarse grasses that grow on the African plains, and they are resistant to diseases that often kill cattle, so the zebras do well in the African savannas.
However, recent civil wars and political conflicts in the African countries near their habitats has caused regional extinction, and sometimes zebras are killed for their coats, or to eliminate competition with domestic livestock.

While many might assume that the birds are a constant annoyance to the majestic buffalo who carry them across the plains of Kenya, they would only be half right.
A classic alliance in the animal kingdom is often seen in the African Buffalos. Birds often sit on the back of buffaloes, pecking in open wounds, picking vermin from the host's fur, and even looking deep into their ears and noses for food - typically a win-win situation for both.
