Six Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Travel With Electronics [Season 4, Episode 18]

You know you’re a real world traveler when you have funny looking letters or an odd layout on your keyboard. Sheila’s laptop is setup for Italians, which means she has to hunt for the ‘@’ all the time. Evo’s features the Thai alphabet, though for some reason there isn’t ฿ symbol, which makes it hard to type amounts in the national currency. And that’s just the start. We’ve had to replace six different terribly expensive electronic devices during our world tour. Such is life. Luckily for us, we have some awesome supporters who help keep us semi-solvent around the world. That, and a mix of insurance and warranties. Funny Things You’ll Hear: Dropping a hard drive from six feet over your open laptop Why the bottom of an Italian canal is not a good place for laptop storage Why an open drybag isn’t a great place to keep your iPhone dry What happens to a different iPhone after three days of Vietnam rainstorms How your expensive DSLR camera can be destroyed at Thailand’s Songkran celebration Ask Us Your Questions In case you hadn’t noticed, season Four of This One Time is driven by listeners like you. (http://shevo.wtf/callus) and we’ll give you the answer in the form of a humorous (?) anecdote from our travels around the world.
