Some Cool Algerian Stuff For Sale!

I’ve completely changed the direction of my website, AlgerianWonders.com. I’ve set it up to import Ebay’s auction feed for all their Algerian items. There is some really cool stuff, such as banknotes, stamps, old books, etc. Lots of collectors items. I love it. Please stop by if you get a chance.

Cheers!

Algeria’s Mobile Phone Numbers To Change… Important Read

Starting February 22nd, 2008 there will be an extra number appended to mobile phone numbers in Algeria. It will be added to the front of the area code. And it will be a duplicate number. For example, if the mobile number is 072-66-65-99, 072 being the area code, then the new number will be 0772-66-65-99. So you just double the number in between the zero and the first number in the sequence.

For international callers you will omit the zero and add 213 to the front. So the new number to dial would be 213-772-66-65-99.

I guess this goes to show that mobile phone use in Algeria is still on the up and up with no plateau in sight. Anyway…

If this is still confusing, feel free to post your questions in the comments.

Finding Travel Goodies on the Net

Are you preparing for your next holiday? Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to do some of that preparation from home? Not having to go out to the shops after being tired from work? Popping in and out of all the travel accessory shops to make sure you are getting the best deal can be very time consuming and exhausting, to say the least.

There is a solution. And it is ShopWiki.com. They offer shopping comparisons. What that means is they aggregate products and prices from many competing online merchants so you can easily find the best prices available in a jiff.

For example if you search for luggage, you will get 997 results with the store that has the lowest price featured. It makes it so easy!

But it doesn’t stop there. They also have some very informative articles, such as Travel Organization.  And a whole page of related articles one would find useful just before a trip.

In short, if you are searching out the best deals on the net, ShopWiki.com should be your first stop.

Happy Traveling!
