Euro Trip Help me please?

short stay amsterdam
Me and a couple friends (all guys) are taking a euro trip after this school year. So it will be Summer of 2009. We want to go to Amsterdam, France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Greece, and end in turkey because my friend is turkish. We are willing to travel by air sea or land. We would sleep in hostels and at friends houses. Could you please tell me where we should go exactly and give me a route that would take the shortest time while still visiting all the places i mentioned. We would be staying 2 to 2 1/2 months. How much roughly would this cost per person? thanks

Return ticked needed for UK visitor visa application?

short stay amsterdam

I'm an American student who was touring Europe last month, and mistakenly accepted a job waitressing in the UK after my employer led me to believe there would be no legal ramifications. Cut to me trying to re-enter the UK a week later after a short sojourn to Holland, and once they learned of the job I was refused entry and shipped back to Amsterdam with the infamous black stamp in my passport.

I've been told I need a visitor visa if I want to re-enter the UK. However, I'm a little confused as to what documents I need to include with my application. Apparantly a return ticket or some kind of proof of my itinerary should be included with the application-- however, keeping in mind that there's a chance I could be denied the visa after what happened before, I don't want to drop $1000 on a plane ticket to show the Powers That Be I only intend to stay a few months...just to be rejected for the visa and end up with ticket I can't even use.

Does anyone have any suggestions or advice? I consider myself to be a law-abiding citizen who made an honest mistake, and I want to do whatever I can to prove to them that my intentions are good.

Traveling to India December 26th-January 5th?

short stay amsterdam

I will be traveling to India right after Christmas (I am located in the U.S.). I will be flying through Amsterdam to Delhi where me and another girl will be staying with our friend and her family in Delhi. We are planning a short day trip to Agra to the Taj Mahal, but other than that, we are planning to stay in Delhi the whole time.

We are then flying from Delhi to Bangkok, Thailand, but will have a layover in Mumbai. I am a little bit concerned due to the recent attacks in Mumbai. I do feel safe in Delhi since I am staying with a friend who has arranged all transportation and a tour guide for us.

Should I be concerned about my layover in Mumbai? I am really looking forward to the trip, but I do want to be smart about things due to the recent attacks.

Thanks!

Where can I take a short trip from Amsterdam besides Brussels?

short stay amsterdam

As in, inter country. If I go to Amsterdam for a week in the fall, I feel like that is too long to stay in that city as it is not overly huge. Where else can I visit for 2 days or so?

Thanks!

I’ve just found out a whole pack of lies about my boyfriend. What to do?

short stay amsterdam

In short, I've found out that my boyfriend has lied about having a bachelor's and a master's degree, lied about holidays to Amsterdam (he had told me was visiting a sick relative), and found out he's in touch with an ex-gf whom he told me he couldn't stand and he swore on his families' lives that he had not had any contact with for months....
Also, by accident I saw one of his bank statements and there was a hotel transaction on there which he says was for a family friend whilst they were staying in the area, as apparently my bf's family couldn't put them up. (I swear I wasn't snooping - the statement fell out on the bed.)
I don't really know whether to believe him about the statement and whether to forgive him for the lies about the degrees, holidays etc.The thing is he invented stories about lectures&his graduation etc which I find really hard to get my head around.
Should I forgive?

I’m going to be in London this summer and would like to Backpack through Europe. Suggestions of an itinerary?

short stay amsterdam

So I will be studying abroad in London this summer. After the trip (sometime in August) I want to travel a bit around Europe for a week or two (a short time, I know, but classes start after this).

I want to see any and as many of the following: Germany, France, Amsterdam, Spain, and Switzerland. I don't care where I end the trip as long as I can fly home.

Now, I realize that I do not have time for everything, but what do people suggest in terms of where to go/prioritize, where to stay, what to bring, how to get from point to point, etc.

Let me know. Much appreciated.

Please help me with translation of letter to parents of my turkish love?

short stay amsterdam

I am writing you this letter to introduce my self and my intentions. I would very much like to meet you and introduce myself in person. In September I visited turkey and met your wife and your other daughter and her husband. I was very pleased to have met them.
I hope with this letter I can explain my intentions and tell you that I am serious and want to get to know Caglan better. Also I hope to explain that I know how difficult this situation.
In 2008 I met your daughter for the first time, when I was on holiday in Kumkamp. From the moment I met her, I could not forget her. On my holiday in 2009 I met her again and I fell in love.
We talked a lot during my visit. We talked with translation books, internet on phone and translation from a friend. We had a language barrier, but even though it was difficult to speak. We tried, and we could communicate. Even though we could not speak, I still liked her very much.
I went back to Holland. We communicated every day, and my love grew stronger. With the help of internet, communication got better and better. Caglan started to learn english and I started to learn Turkish. At that moment I did not know yet if we could overcome the difficulties. We discussed differences in culture, in rules, and in language. We know these differences will be difficult. But still, the love grew bigger.
In September I visited Turkey to meet Caglan and to meet part of her family. I stayed for 3 days, and was very happy to have met this part of her family (mother, Sister and brother in law).
As Caglan told you, I am divorced and have a son (5 years old). I owned a company with head office in Amsterdam for 10 years, I am a manager in large organizations (ING, IBM, ABN Amro, Fortis, Dutch Government etc.) I am successful in my work, and see a bright future for myself.
I would very much like to discover the possibility to share this future with your daughter. However, it is very difficult to really get to know each other because of the distance between us. In a normal starting relationship you can slowly build the time you spend with each other. You can get to know each other better and better. For us this is very difficult. For now we can see each other only on msn. We do this every day. But I have come to a point that I would like to have her in my life for a (short) while to really get to know her. I also have a son to think about. I would very much like to spend Christmas with her and my son. I have told my family about CagIan, and I would like to introduce her to my family.
I understand that in the Turkish culture it is difficult for a woman to spend time with a man without being married. I also understand that as parents it is very difficult to let your child go to another country to meet someone you have never seen. I also understand that Holland is a very free country, and that there could be fear for bad influences. I can not take away this fear. I can only explain that I am very responsible with my life and my son. I will do anything to show this to you. I will answer any questions you have. Unfortunately because of my son it is not possible for me to come to Turkey soon.
As I tried to explain, for me and for my son It is very important to get to know Caglan. I would like her to be a part of our life for a while. I would like her to come to Holland for a week or two weeks. I hope you understand. There is no other way to get to know each other then to spend some time together. It is unfortunately not possible to do this in a “normal” way.
I would very much like to spend this time together, because I fell in love with Caglan. Despite all the difficulties. I know it takes much effort to start a relationship with your daughter because of all these difficulties. I did not chose to fall in love. This happened. It is not possible to control the heart. And my heart tells me, I love your daughter. I can not see in the future, but I do know that I really want to be with your daughter. If we want to make this relationship work, we need to take a chance, we need to try.
If we spend time together and we continue our love, I would like to spend the rest of my life with her. I would like to share our lives together. But before we make those choices, we need to know each other.
I do not know any other way to make this possible, then to write you this letter.
I hope you can support us, I am willing to do anything I can to show you who I am and how serious I am. Please give us this chance to discover our love.
