MUST HAVE WEBSITES FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS
Whether it’s an out-of-the-blue flight cancellation, a sprained ankle while climbing ruins or discovering the hotel you booked doesn’t quite resemble the photos you saw online, travel means you have to think on your feet. When you need fast access to information, the websites you pack in your mobile web browser might help you out of your travel predicament and save your precious time.
Many mobile browsers include a start page, like Opera’s Speed Dial, with website shortcuts that work like a phone’s speed dial, offering one-click access to the content you need. That saves you scrolling through bookmarks or typing long addresses. With Opera’s Speed Dial, you can save an unlimited number of website shortcuts, simply by pressing the “+” symbol and entering the web address. Press and hold your Speed Dial choices to edit or re-order them.
