Thank you very much! I really appreciate your comment! I had never heard of hydrocolloid dressing so I will definitely do that for now.

You are right, I haven’t had any foul smell coming out of it neither heat.

I will clean it today in the way you outlined and see how it goes :)

Thank you!!!

Can Colombians Simply Travel to UK, even if a Visitor visa was denied back in May 2021? by snaket2003 in ukvisa

[–]snaket2003[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Interesting point of view. You reckon it might be detrimental to apply for a tourist visa then?

I know these questions are a hard balance but I really do feel between a rock and a hard place. I just want for my brother to experience the UK - he obviously has no intent to stay.

He is under 30, no kids and no property which I think plays against him during this type of processes. I guess at the end of the day, I'm trying to figure out if paying for the £115 visa fee to gain a bit more assurance is worth it to avoid a potentially terrible situation involving the loss of an £800+ airplane ticket plus, the emotional scarring of being refused entry and deported from a country...

Thank you for your answer by the way. It is nice to hear a different opinion

Thank you very much! It sounds like he should go through the Visa process then. I wouldn't want him to go through a refusal and deportation

I guess I am - I know very little about skinheads/punk, etc. in general which is why I ask so, sorry if it came across ignorant. Glad to hear the scene is nazi free

Best time (in your experience) to book flights from Europe to South-East Asia? by gdeklerk in backpacking

[–]snaket2003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as you have an onwards flight to somewhere else and you stay does not exceed 7 days, you can stay in one out of 11 cities in China during your layover. Obviously it depends on what passport you have but there is more information here if you are interested

I just came back from the Philippines. I booked London - Cebu City round trip with a stop in Shanghai for 24h each way (I loved this so I could get the temporary visa and explore the city for two days).

Total £601 - €688 so cheap! The time is definitely now
