Around Amsterdam. Everywhere Else.

Some other spots and pictures in Amsterdam.

A gas station.
See that? We have cheaper gas prices.

Booking.com's office. I immediately recognized the logo, of course.

Pick a spot where you can just sit and watch the bikers. I found the bikers amazing and amusing at the same time. People were dressed in very nice outfits but they were just biking their way to school/work. Cool!
Baby in the bike
Tram lines everywhere. Just stay off them when the tram is coming. But IMO, the bikers are more dangerous than the trams. Stay off the red bicycle lane.
Over the grass

Vondelpark offers a pleasant haven in the city.

Chill zone.

Other places with no pictures:
I also walked around the very posh shopping street called  P.C. Hoofdstraat. It is the most expensive shopping street in Amsterdam. Some designer brands that can be found in this street are Chanel, Gucci and LV. I wanted to take pics but the street was so calm and well “posh”. There were not tourists posing around having their pics taken. Parang ang jologs maglabas ng camera so I just walked through it. I have no appreciation for designer items anyway.

I also went to Amsterdam's Red Light District (RDL). It was surprising safe for a solo female traveler to walk around RDL. There were a lot of tourists who were looking/ogling at the scantily-clad females at the windows. No pictures allowed in RDL, unless you want to get into trouble.


Did I have a Marijuana Adventure? Nah.Why:
1) Again, it was my first time traveling alone. Add that I am not in my country.
2) Amsterdam was my first stop. I was still a bit shy and still learning the ropes of striking a conversation with strangers.
3) I didn't find any companion that would take me back to my hostel safely in case I get stoned.
4) I had a paranoia of getting stoned, then getting arrested, then being shipped back to the Philippines. Not taking that chance. 

According to our guide from the walking tour, Marijuana was not legal nor illegal. It is "tolerated" in Amsterdam. You cam get M from coffeeshops (not Starbucks and the like) in Amsterdam. Our guide said it was a mystery where all the M is coming from because there's only a certain number of M that residents can grow. So where do they come from?

UK Visa Application in the Philippines

The United Kingdom (UK) may be in Europe but it is not included in the Schengen zone. You need to apply for a separate visa in the UK. I’ve always wanted to see London (because of Mary Poppins) but I didn’t want to deal with the hassle of applying and paying for another visa aside from Schengen. Since this was a family trip, I finally had the opportunity of visiting London. We had to apply for a UK visa first before applying for a Schengen visa in the French Embassy. The process is a bit similar to the US Visa application wherein you fill-out a long form, pay the visa fee, then schedule your application to submit your documents. Here’s the basic process: 1.    Create an account and fill-out application forms  here: https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/uk-visas-and- immigration 2.    Pay for the visa fee - via credit card – USD 110 3.    Schedule the visa appointment in VFS Global UK 4.    Print and gather documents in the checklist 5.    Go to VFS Global UK to submit documents

I established this blog as a "shrine" for my adventures.  I've have travelled, since my last update - I took time to at least update my Adventure Accounts page. It's just...more difficult to really give trip details. Each blog post takes me approximately 4 hours to write, select and watermark photos, and recheck my excel file & trip notes. So two long and detailed blog posts equal to one working day. In the last couple of years, the rise of microblogging just made it easier to just skip a blogpost; because hey, there's your audience in FB or IG. I don't like to admit this, but there's a sense of "instant validation" when others do like your travel update post vs. waiting for someone to give a nice comment in your blog post (that took hours to write).  In between my March 2017 post and today, I've been busy being a postgraduate student in the UK (thru the Chevening scholarship), then I've travelled for 90 days to cover 11 count

Schengen Visa Application via French Embassy in the Philippines

I am not a Schengen visa expert. I cannot assess your chance of getting a visa. I am only sharing what happened in my experience. Less than a year after my Europe III trip (which I haven’t blogged about), I found myself applying for my 4th Schengen visa. This was for our two-week family vacation in Europe in Italy, France and UK. Since we were staying at France the longest, we lodged our Schengen visa application with the French embassy. This time, we applied via the French Embassy . VFS Global handles the visa applications for the French embassy. I hope that before you found this blog, you already read the very informative website of VFS France in the Philippine s. Now if you haven’t, I suggest stop reading this blog entry for a while and go and click that link and spend some time reading the information there.
