There are no border formalities - if you want a tourist visa placed in your passport, simply stop by the Tourist Information Office (small fee applies).

Traveling with them adds a whole new level of joy and energy to any trip as you feed off their enthusiasm. As I have just discovered, it comes at a long term cost to parents, but more on that later. Little travelers have a … [Read more...]
