QUOTE(Magnarod @ May 4 2016, 08:42 PM) Where I can get a few pieces of transparent resealable plastic bag for use of LAG item packing? I tried buying them but they are sold in bulks of tens, which is quite wasteful. It is available at any convenience store / mart in KLIA / KLIA 2 at around 0.50 - 1.00 |

If you are a teacher and is planning to go to Europe, go apply for the International Teacher ID card. It cost RM21/year but it gives a lot of discount for tourist attraction's admission/ticket, sometimes even free admission. Considering how expensive the tickets for Europe is, the price is worth it.

found this:
QUOTE Most countries in the world, except for the US, UK and Canada, do not require a visa if you land in the countries just for transiting purpose. Vietnam is one of these countries, and does not require any transit visa, as long as you plan to stay inside the airport. source: http://www.vietnamonline.com/visa/transit-visa.htmlNote, however, international airports such as Hanoi Noi Bai Airport and Danang International Airport are rather small and not the best places for a light-sleeper. Therefore if you have an over-night transit, you might want to exit the airport and stay at a nearby hotel. In those cases, you will need a normal single entry visa. |

Transit visa are only for those ppl who need visa in the first place. Then the country introduce a transit visa which is easier to apply for than a "full" visa. For ppl who dun need visa (i.e. Malaysians enter Vietnam, enter SG, enter Thailand), u dun need to apply for the transit visa either. |
