  I'd like to share with you my experience in applying for a Schengen Visa. I submitted my application last March 12 and got the decision last March 19 (5 working days). It was so tiring as I only had 2 weeks to gather/prepare all my documents, but it's all worth it. ️  Things you must remember:  • Secure an appointment at VFS Global website • On your appointment day, submit all the required documents.  • Please note that you are not directly submitting your documents at the Dutch Embassy.

Cambodia: The Kingdom of Wonder We arrived in Siem Reap at around 9:30 in the evening. Please note that they are 1 hour behind from Manila time. We were fetched by our Airbnb Superhost, Chanak. After checking in at De Sonyn Botique, we have arranged with Chanak our Temple tour and we immediately went to Pub Street to grab some dinner and beer. It was just a 10 minute walk from our hotel.  This place is perfect for the party people. T E M P L E  D A Y  T O U R Blessed by a monk Sunrise at Angkor Wat We started our day early. We opted to do the Grand Circuit Day tour with Sunrise. Our tuktuk driver was very prompt. He was there to pick us up at 4:30 am and brought us straight to the ticket office. Just a tip, if your hotel booking includes breakfast, you may inform the staff ahead of time to have your breakfast packed instead so you could bring it on your tour. Since we only have a few days to spend in Siem Reap, we just purchased the Ang...
