Do not give money to children

by Tobias_Plieninger

Sometimes it is hard to see the poor children and not give them money.But you don't really help them if you give them money.Then you have also a more relaxed trip.If you start to give money they tell each other and you will be followed .. Be friendly by saying no. If you really want to help these people give some money to organistions when you are at home.

Taxi mafia

by Tobias_Plieninger

In many countries the taxi mafia is active,If they see a tourist they see the dollars and try to cheat you.So don't be naiv, Get a feeling for the right price by asking other people.Always ask for the price before you get off.Always look what the driver does if he uses the taxameter.In Hungary they have sometimes a manipulated taxameter.If you drive by day be sure that he doesn't use the night tarif. Pay and try to do better next time Use public transport!

A: It depends. Do you already have an LOI or tourist voucher? Without one, you can't even apply for a visa. If you have the documents already, then it won't take more to 3...
