      It’s pretty durable, nothing’s happened to mine. It is easier to pack a different muni fan; one that doesn’t have the clip added on. That’s what I used to have, I just like being able to hang it anywhere now. I just stick it in my bag wherever it’ll fit

    I’m 16 and living in Canada BC near Prince George. I have a girlfriend who’s 15 and lives in the UK. I want to go see her seeing as we met online, I’d rather go there then her come here for multiple reasons but the biggest one is that I’d never expect a father to let his daughter travel to another country just for a boy. Instead I’m going there to show both her and her family that I am completely committed to her. My only problem is that I haven’t been able to find how much a trip like that costs. My best guess is between 5,000 and 10,000 Canadian but I honestly don’t know. I’ve tried looking online as best I know how but there’s no sites that have been of any help whatsoever. If someone could reply and offer me a general number to make my goal it would be much appreciated.

      So, I’m not sure how Vietnam visa on arrival works because they have never allowed me to do it. Before I even get on my flight to Vietnam, they make me show them my visa and won’t let me board without one. That’s happened both times. So I couldn’t go to Vietnam to get the one on arrival, they made me get an expedited one online at the airport which cost me $600. I don’t know if this is for Americans or what this is all about. I’d love to know
