DO check for up-to-date information: regulations change frequently, as do visa lengths and fees. Once you are on your way to Vietnam, usually on the flight or when you arrive at the airport, you will be asked to fill in an entry/exit form and to keep a (yellow) copy.

DON’T lose this form, you may need it to open a bank account or show an officious hotel receptionist and if you do mislay it, you may have to fill out another one before you leave the country.

DO beware of the double dating system. Your visa will contain a termination date and your passport will most likely be stamped with a permit to stay until… date. These two dates are rarely identical! And, of course, the earlier of the two is the one that counts.
In case of staying for work in Vietnam.

DON’T leave home or lose a copy of your employment contract or an official letter from the company or agency as this is required for issuance and extensions of your visa.

DO contact www.vietnamvisaonline.net in Hanoi for extension of your tourist visa. A long-term visa must be renewed, although, in special circumstances, it can be extended for a few days. However, if you need to change visa category (for instance, from a tourist visa to a business visa), you will have to leave the country in order to get the new visa issued.
If you plan to leave Vietnam during your visit, for example to visit a neighboring country and then to return to Vietnam, DO make sure that it says multiple entry or double entry on your visa, or you will not get back into Vietnam without a fresh visa!

If you know where you wish to enter or exit Vietnam (other than at the three international airports in Hanoi, Da Nang, and Hochiminh City), BEFORE you apply for your visa, DON’T forget to specify these border crossings so that they can be added to your visa. Otherwise, you can have them added from within Vietnam, but with a little more hassle – and money, of course.

Using a Fold Up Bicycle in London http://balashiha.su/?p=10131 http://balashiha.su/?p=10131#respond Sat, 31 Dec 2011 08:59:04 +0000 http://balashiha.su/?p=10131 Using a Fold Up Bicycle in London

For your typical city occupant folding bikes usually are the most appropriate way to get around. With a lot of Londoners living in flats and apartments with little if any storage space a foldable bicycle is going to be much more convenient when compared to a standard sized cycle. The bikes fold up rapidly and are generally small enough to be tucked away in the home or taken on trains and buses during the particular times that ordinary cycles are restricted on account of passenger overcorwding.Folding bikes can in fact be taken on the tube system, taken on buses and even taken on Croydon’s Tramlink system. Officially the bikes may need to be in a small bag but in practice Transport for London rarely enforce this and if they do then a pair of black binliners will suffice. A folder will permit a person to circumvent the train companies’ cycle restrictions and you could actually take your folding bike home in a minicab on a Friday night following a few bevies at the pub!
There are plenty of different kinds of folding bicycles available, from leading manufacturers including  Dahon, Brompton and Pashley. Each model has its own advantages and down sides, so remember to examine the information on each of the models within your budget. Many manufacturer’s internet sites have specification comparison charts so that you can see instantly the information that interests you.Folding bikes come in a variety of models, each with their own features. Brakes, frames and gears vary according to the design of bike you select. Mountain bikes and racing bikes are also available as folding bikes. These are definitely the best choice if you have only a little space but would like to take up biking as a new sports activity in the greenery that encompases London or in one of the Royal Parks where cycling is allowed for example Richmond Park or Regent’s Park.
A lot of people regard the folded dimensions as the key feature of any folding bike. When space is tight or you want to store your bike under a desk in the office, you may need a compact bike. Measure the height, width and depth of the space where your bike is going to be stored so you can see immediately which bikes will squeeze into the available space.The weight of the bike may also be a primary consideration for anyone traveling on the London Tube or buses. In order for you to lift your bike off and on public transport, a light and portable bike can make it easier. You’ll find the weight of the bike listed in the manufacturer’s specifications.
As you can’t fold wheels up you’ll find all folding bikes have small wheels. Some companies have added a suspension system to their folding bikes to counteract the rough ride that smaller wheels give hence it might be worth paying a bit more for a bicycle with suspension to provide you with additional comfort if you are nervous about a back injury being aggravated by the potholes of the London streets.
Prices of cycles vary, so planning what amount you would like to shell out is usually a good place to start. Although most cyclists who use folding bicycles will realise that the money they save on car or transport expenditures far exceeds their original outlay on their folder. Folding bikes are the same as regular cycles; the more you pay the better quality of bike you’ll receive. That is not to say you can’t find a bike to your liking within budget, there are plenty of inexpensive folding bikes available. Should you be after a good deal, check out the prices for last year’s designs or look for discounts on second user online websites like Folding Bikes For Sale. There are many to select from so there will definitely be a folding bike available for you to benefit from in London.

Are You One of the Millions That Could Benefit from an Airline Miles Credit Card http://balashiha.su/?p=926 http://balashiha.su/?p=926#respond Mon, 14 Nov 2011 04:08:55 +0000 http://balashiha.su/?p=926 Are You One of the Millions That Could Benefit from an Airline Miles Credit Card?

That’s a question credit users are asking themselves these days with increasing frequency. We’ve all heard the buzz about airline miles credit cards. After all, who wouldn’t be talking about a way to use credit to manage their everyday expenses while being rewarded for it with free airline miles? However, we all know that a program’s being beneficial doesn’t necessarily mean it’s right for us. The following are a few guidelines to help you determine whether or not you stand to benefit in a big way by applying for a frequent flyer credit card.

You travel at least occasionally.

Do you have family that lives far enough away to necessitate the occasional airline ticket purchase? Do you ever travel by plane on vacation or for business purposes? Do you tend to spend money on hotel accommodations and car rentals when away from home? If so, then you could be saving a bundle on your travel expenses by trading in your traditional credit card for an airline mileage credit card, as you’ll be earning points to help you with all of the above.

Just imagine the possibilities! Let’s say your monthly expenses total $3,000 each month and you typically use your credit card to manage and consolidate them. What if your credit company were willing to match that $3,000 with a minimum of 3,000 free airline miles to use toward your next ticket? Could you find a use for them? Then you can benefit from an airline miles credit card.

You need a credit provider that really takes care of you.

Airline miles credit providers have what is considered to be some of the best customer service in the entire credit business. To start with, you’ll have access to knowledgeable, efficient customer service representatives 24 hours a day. If you have questions or concerns regarding your account, they’ll put your mind at ease in a flash. Many frequent flyer creditors also provide 24-hour fraud protection. You can’t police your account all the time, and when you can’t? Your credit provider is there making sure all is as it should be. Many accounts even offer 24 hour concierge service to help you find events tickets and make reservations while you’re away from home… all just to make your vacation a little bit more special. How can you beat that?

You pay your balance off in full each month.

If you’re the type of person who pays their credit balance off in full at the end of each month, then you are among those that actually stand to make money by applying for one of these cards. Credit providers glean an income through the interest they charge on existing balances. If you never allow your balance to accumulate interest, then your benefits are truly free. The best way to use credit – especially rewards-oriented credit – is to utilize it to manage necessary expenses and consolidate bills and pay off everything owed at the end of each billing cycle. Then the creditor is basically paying you in airline miles to use their service. You win!

So if you have great spending habits, want to get the most out of your credit program, and could find a use for the occasional free airline ticket, you really can’t afford to be without an airline miles credit card. Compare programs online, fill out an application online afterward, and you could be making more of your credit within seconds! What are you waiting for?

Places to See and Advice when Visiting Brazil http://balashiha.su/?p=6903 http://balashiha.su/?p=6903#respond Mon, 26 Sep 2011 06:08:12 +0000 http://balashiha.su/?p=6903 Places to See and Advice when Visiting Brazil

There are a number of places that you can go and visit in Brazil, South America. There is only one place that is truly unforgettable Grande Sert?o Veredas Park is that place. Its landscapes are covered with enormous amounts of bio and ecological diversity. Along with some of the local towns you can experience some of the historic buildings and cobblestone streets.

Along with visiting these places I do have a couple of suggestions for you.

* One of the premier places to visit is the The Amazonia National Park which is also known to the locals as ‘The Green Inferno’  It is named this because of the great expanse of natural ecological and biological diversity that covers a great majority of the Brazilian landscape.

* The Pantanal, is another location in the same area that is great for watching the local wildlife emerge from there hiding places. It is amazing to see, hear and experience wildlife in their natural habitat.

As you travel in brazil another place that is a must sea is the Atlantic coast and its beaches but be arned in the summer time the water off the coast can be notoriously rough and cold due to the currents and under-tones.

In most of the surrounding country you are looking at around 30 dollars for accommodations, about 20 for food, ect… so if you do plan to stay for awhile in Brazil a month or so it may be best to keep around 1500 on a credit card or bank account which you can remove via ATM as spending money. But if you go off the beaten track a little bit and stay away from the touristy spots you can expect to pay much less for the same services.  

Only carry as much as you are comfortable carrying with you in terms of money and valuables. You will need cash and not simply Credit cards, Travelers checques, ect… you can save quite a bit by using it. But Brazil in areas is still a small country and not everyone will take credit cards outside the cities. So make sure you do plan accordingly. Traveler’s cheques can be a hassle because there is only a couple of banks (Banco de Brazil, etc) in Brazil where you can exchange them commission free.

But these places and with a little planning you can have a experience of a lifetime in Brazil. If you would like more information regarding brazil. Places to see, visit, eat, or even move as an expat. Or just the local news please visit and book mark my website on brazil at  www.brazilgringo.com

How to Plan a Trip http://balashiha.su/?p=5007 http://balashiha.su/?p=5007#respond Thu, 27 Jan 2011 07:04:38 +0000 http://balashiha.su/?p=5007 How to Plan a Trip? – Expect the Unexpected

After working round the clock for months we plan for a family vacation so that we can relax and dwell on the beauty of nature and enjoy what we have been missing in the closed door meetings. We start a trip with all the fanfare and suddenly the problems creep up while on the tour. Sometimes our baggage is lost or stolen; sometimes we miss the connecting flights as our schedule is tight. Many a times we make the bookings in advance and think that we have already paid the bills but on landing up in Hotel we find either they are not providing full meals or they are charging for something which was initially promised to be free or there are hidden costs; sometimes we forget the details like the rented car or there is a medical emergency. All these things spoil the trip because we have not thought and planned about it in advance. Could we have averted this by planning in advance? Here are some of the tips that can make your trip a memorable experience by avoiding the hassles.

Plan in Advance: Whenever going for a trip, it is always advisable to plan in advance. Take this part seriously. When arranging a trip through an operator or agent, check the credentials of the agency. Make sure that they guarantee it that there would be no hidden costs or hidden taxes to pay when you are on trip. Look up and read reviews. Ask them to give you the contact number of any person of agency who is responsible and available 24X7 if any emergency arises on the trip. Make a list of the things that you will require on the trip and start purchasing them in advance like toiletries or shaving and bathing kit or the nail cutter. If you are a regular traveler then keep a personal bag which will have small things required on trip so that you don’t have to plan that again and again. Always keep a diary with all the contact and account numbers in your carry bag than to scramble here and there at the last minute looking to find the contact numbers. Carry a small carry bag with at least one complete suit that you can carry with you in the airlines so that even if the luggage is delayed you are not made to suffer for small things.

Research you trip completely: Before embarking on leisure or business trip it is better to do research about the place you are going to visit on internet. There is information available about every place in this world. Look for the deals that are offered by the premier agencies. You can also book and print air tickets on the web. Also search about the places you can visit or the monuments you want to see so that you are not wasting your time when you reach your destination asking about the places to visit.

Expect the Unexpected: It is an old saying that trouble knocks at your door when you are sleeping or least expecting it. So while on trip we don’t expect trouble for we are relaxing and enjoying to the hilt. To avoid the trouble one should buy all the viable insurances like travel and medical insurance, terrorism insurance, insurance against theft are the good options to have.

Paperwork and documents: This is most important thing to do before you start your trip. Have a small kit in which you keep all the visa or travel permits of the countries you are going to visit. After that keep all the air tickets, booking papers of the hotels, paper if you have already rented any car or vehicle. Then make sure you keep all the insurances that you have bought. It is advisable to keep the map of the destination to visit so that it’s easy to navigate. Also keep all the currency in a separate kit as you will be taking out this kit more often. It is better if you can carry traveler checks and credit cards which are internationally accepted. Before you leave make sure that your home is protected in your absence. Stop the newspaper delivery for the time being and leave your email on auto reply so that you don’t miss out on something important. Leave your pets or garden in care of somebody who is trustable and capable of handling them.

Write out an Itinerary: Before going out on trip make sure that you have given the complete itinerary of your trip including flight details, hotel’s contact details, what would be your expected check in or check out time in each hotel and the details of everybody who is with you your insurance details and your workplace contacts to your trusted contact or whom you are giving the responsibility of your home, so that in any eventuality or emergency that person can contact you. Also on the trip keep in touch with that person and inform him if there is any change in your travel plan. It pays to plan ahead remember “It wasn’t raining when Noah built the ark.” Although sometimes best of the planning can come undone but still it’s beneficial to plan beforehand.

Cheep Car Rental Larnaca Reviews http://balashiha.su/?p=2175 http://balashiha.su/?p=2175#respond Sat, 15 Jan 2011 03:30:12 +0000 http://balashiha.su/?p=2175 Cheep Car Rental Larnaca Reviews

Considered as one of most prospective cities in the realm of Cyprus, notable island in the eastern Mediterranean, the fame of Larnaca is increasing by leaps and bounds. The city of Larnaca is located on the southern coast of Cyprus, the second largest commercial port in the realm of Cyprus, and happens to be an important tourist resort as well.
There are lots of attractions in Larnaca too. In accordance with historians, Cyprus happens to be one of the most religious countries in the realm of European Union and is, at the moment, under the aegis of both Greek Orthodox Church of Cyprus and Turkish Cypriots, adherents of Sunni Islam, all at once. The historians are found to claim also that Larnaca has been one of the best witnesses of the struggle between these two commendable concepts. As a result, Larnaca must contain an assortment of edifices related to these two religions. Is it so? Let’s see!
Major attractions in Larnaca
* Without a doubt, the foremost attraction in Larnaca happens to be the ruins of Ancient Kitium. This is nothing else save for the earliest architectural remains and as indicated by historians, it does date back to the 13th century B.C. It must be stated that the area was rebuilt under the auspices of Achaean Greeks. You can still come across remains of the Cyclopean Walls, consisting of massive blocks along with the complex of five temples.
* Marble Bust of Zeno, standing at the crossings close to the American Academy, deserves special mentions. Zeno, if the history is taken into account, was born in Kition (ancient Larnaca) and it was in 334 BC. He was responsible for establishing the globally acclaimed Stoic school of philosophy.
* Never forget to make a visit to the underground chapel of Ayia Phaneromeni, located amongst monument of Zeno and Salt Lake on the right. The underground chapel is by and large a rock cavern with two chambers and probably dates back to Phoenician times. What is most striking, this place is known for a range of magical properties.
* Gear up to visit Hala Sultan Tekke containing tomb of Umm Haram, the foster mother of Prophet Mohammed. As per scores of Muslim historical accounts, Umm Haram cashed in her chips here in 647 A.D.

You Don't Have To Spend Your Life Savings To Travel To Big Cities http://balashiha.su/?p=11004 http://balashiha.su/?p=11004#respond Tue, 28 Dec 2010 04:08:03 +0000 http://balashiha.su/?p=11004 You Don't Have To Spend Your Life Savings To Travel To Big Cities

Vacationing Normally requires a good deal of funds. However it is possible to travel throughout the United States on a tight budget. It may even be attainable on a shoe string budget. If you employ the right methods that you will uncover in this article, your budget might get you even further than you assumed it could. You might be pleasantly surprised. Also, vacationing on a tight budget can be exciting as you don’t know what you can come across right around the corner. You could find this little place that creates the most tasty omelettes ever! Or you could find a little retreat that won’t cost anything to visit but is the most peaceful place you have ever visited.
So, keep reading and get yourself all set for an awesome experience.
Airplane Bargains
Do you have family members who are working for the airlines? If that’s the case, perhaps they will be kind enough to obtain a ticket for you. They are typically authorized to provide a set number of tickets to companions and relatives per calendar year. Furthermore, consider websites like Travelocity and Orbitz for bargains on plane tickets. Red eye flights and flights with more than one stop are commonly a whole lot less costly. Additionally, do an web lookup to determine if any of the online websites have promotion codes offered. You can cut back possibly more by managing that. Make sure to at all times buy ahead of time. Sometimes when you get at the flight terminal, they will ask you whether you desire to relinquish your seat for a different traveler. In case you prefer to take the risk, you could cede your place and catch the next plane. Air carriers will generally compensate you with an additional ticket you can use at any time, anywhere or they will grant you a check for a couple hundred dollars depending on where you are flying to.
If you are intending on visiting two states via flying, you can research a flight journey that has a layover in the other place you would like to check out. See if the fare is the similar if you stayed for a number of days at the stop. Normally you could purchase it for the same price and you can wind up visiting both places on a single ticket.
Car Rentals
Each time you book a vehicle, take into consideration the category of car and how efficient the fuel mileage is. At times car rental companies may have a very good deal on a larger size vehicle but you need to take into account the additional charge in fuel as well. Do some calculations to find out if the savings are greater compared to what you might gain in fuel by going with the more compact one.
Regularly seek on the web to see if there are discount codes for car rentals.
In the event that you possess a credit card, determine if they give car insurance for rental cars. If so, then all you need to do is pay for the rental with that card and make sure you decline the insurance fee.
Entertainment
Go check out the tourist center wherever you might be as they will usually provide a coupon book full of coupons from area shops and also discounts for theme parks and activities you carry out.
