Post title: Unusual requests

And what’s unusual is asking colleagues to make phone calls to certain countries.
I also vaguely remember this member asking to make a call to Spain and wondering if I could help, and I am in Portugal...
It’s really best not to engage.
With today’s technological advances and the many resources available, I can’t understand this kind of request.

Yes, I vaguely remember a discussion with this person about their weird posts. I must say they haven't become less weird.

Here is what i received within 5 seconds:
Is there a shuttle from Orly to Charles de Gaulle?
Air France bus between Orly and CDG: The "direct bus": Line 3 of the Air France coach network provides a direct link between Orly and CDG airports. The service is continuous between 6:00 a.m. and 10:30 p.m. and between 7:00 a.m. and 10:30 p.m. on weekends.

Is there a hotel for a good price close to Orly Airport?

Dear French colleagues from Proz.com,

I hope you are doing well in France and also in other European countries.

I'm writing to you because I was hired for an interpretation project in Paris, France, and the country of Georgia. I have some questions for those who live in France and are familiar with the country.

Do they have shuttle services from Orly International Airport in Paris to Charles de Gaulle Airport? Or shuttle services to the hotels?

Do you know if they have trains or buses from both airports? (Orly and Charles de Gaulle)

I sent a message to the airport, but I haven't gotten a response.

I need to take a flight from that airport to Tbilisi, Georgia. I haven't traveled there in many years. I was last there more than 24 years ago. They have many new buildings now.

Do you know a good travel website or travel agency where I can find a hotel for a good price close to Orly Airport in Paris? Or close to the Latin Quarter neighborhood in Paris? We may stay in Paris for two days. I will be Interpreting in two conferences there.

We may travel there in around seven days. Feel free to write to me in Spanish.

Thanks for your help and advice.

Yugoslavia.
