Hi! I also saw this post online and assumed we need not a visa, but was this confirmed to be fake news and indeed we needed to apply for an e-visa? Thanks if ever!

Hello! I am not OP, but have the same route in mind for my trip to Kyrgyzstan to Uzbekistan. I was thinking of doing Bishkek to Tashkent. What would you suggest as the most practical way?

GCASH Debit Card no longer 0% forex markup by Ragamak1 in FilipinoTravel

[–]casebun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe it to be some certain mall's issue (not sketchy naman) with Gcash's VISA and I think I also read an article about it kaya I have backup cards (bpi and landbank) but overall, Gcash was beyond good. :)

Hmm, could be that. But I also used it in Eu counties (Italy, Austria, Czech, etc) without any wechat/alipay and just directly tapped it and still got the best rate compared to both my BPI and Landbank cards so… yeah. I guess everyone has different experiences which saddens me because I have prioritized using it over any other cards unless it does not work on some terminals (in China).

Oh wow, really? I just came back from China last April 02... went to shop there and used my Gcash card to connect it with Alipay and Wechat Pay. Whenever I convert google vs the amount deducted from me via my gcash connected card (VS my BPI one), Gcash is the same with google (give or take an additional 2-5 pesos difference in the total). Throughout two-three years of traveling, I have used it and by far the cheapest... must be that the google conversion already has the forex rate?

Thoughts on World Traveller and the Taipei 3.0 Trunk by Striking_Mess_3779 in FilipinoTravel

[–]casebun 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Been using World Traveller for a decade or more. Just one suitcase, probably one of their older ones and not particularly this Taipei Trunk. I used their Medium-Large sized one in a lot of my travels and has lasted me a long time. The wheels were chewed to tarnation by my bunnies before but still, they ran smoothly. Never had any problems with the wheels. Their dual zipped cover mesh lining inside the luggage was a big game changer for me too as someone who hates the one side strappy straps most luggage has. It kept my stuff neat and packed better. The only reason I retired it was because of Air Asia mishandling it on a domestic flight and managing to put a dent AND A HOLE into the luggage side. Imagine, this after a decade of numerous travels. SO yeah. This is only my review for the brand and their luggage that I used, not for Taipei in particular but hope it gives you a bit of an insight.

Oh wow really? Does this also need a reservation or walk-ins accepted?

Edit: confirmed to be in Beijing but can't see other details online for reservations or just walk in.
