According to Consulate General of The Russian Federation In New York, the photo size must be 35x45 mm.

It seems like not a lot of places would take a 35x45 mm photos around you

The nearest place you can get it may be miles away if you are not close to the Russian consulates.

But we would like to show you how it's done with Tomamor. 

You can simply get your Russian visa photo at home and pick it up at CVS, Walgreens, or Target.

Actually, you can even get the Russian visa photo from your mailbox without needing to go out of your house.

The total size should be 35x45 mm and the head size should be within 32-36 mm. And the background color should be plain white or light color background.

Who has a centimeter ruler anyway? 

Upload a photo of yourself like the photo above. Take multiple in good lighting. The background can be anything as long as the color isn't too similar to your hair color. The rest will be taken care of by Tomamor. 

We give you have a hassle-free visa photo experience.

And of course, Tomamor is cheaper than those passport photo and visa photo places.

The experience there will be amazing.

You can go to one of those franchise hotels like Hilton, Marriott, InterContinental, and Ritz-Carlton.

But when you are in Korea, you want to experience the Korean culture. But I say hotels don' have culture most of the time. Most of the times, better hotels are more westernized. 

In that sense, the Shilla Seoul is an iconic hotel representing the nation because it tries to include the culture as much as possible while keeping its class.

Location

When you are a tourist, location is one of the most important things you should consider. You don't really know how far it is from your unknown hotel the popular destinations and if there are transportation options for you to easily go around the city.

The Shilla Seoul is located in the center of everything. It is not directly in the busy intersection of where everything is at but you have multiple modes of transportation options. 

The exact address is 202 Jangchung-dong 2-ga, Jung-gu, Seoul, Korea 100-856

Just like looking at the map, you can find Itaewon is close by. Itaewon has so many eats and is a place for residents of Seoul, tourist, expats. And if you want nightlight, this is the place to be.

Transportation

-Subways

The location of this hotel is wonderful. A lot of tourists are coming to this hotel and it is close to Itaewon and Myungdong. Also you can go to a subway station right outside the hotel property entrance,

Take subway Line 3 to Dongdaeipgu (Dongguk University) Station.
Come out through Exit No.5 at the station and walk along to the hotel’s main gate.

-City bus

Take bus #144, or #407, or #212, or #301 to Jangchung Gymnasium Bus Stop.
Free shuttle bus service available between the hotel’s main gate and the lobby or duty free shop.
Route: Hotel’s main gate (Giwamun Gate) Hotel lobby on the 1st floor Duty Free Shop
Service Hours: 10:00 ~ 20:00

Food

- Breakfast

Breakfast here is amazing. The price point is more on the expensive side. But you have the breakfast included option, you should not miss your breakfast.

If you go, please go for the breakfast buffet. You don't like buffet style food? No you will change your mind. 

They have several restaurants and one of them, La Yeon, has 3 Michelin stars. And this proves the general quality of the food there. And the price follows the suit.

Room

The room is pretty big. It was much bigger than expected. The bed was clean. There was a coffee table and a sofa where you can read and watch TV. You can also work in your room on the desk. Sometimes the desk is in the dark corner and it just doesn't make you want to start working. But the view of the city from the desk was awesome.

And it is a Samsung Group affiliate and opened by the founder of Samsung Group. Usually, there is not a lot of electronics in the hotel and you can say the TV in the room shows how good the hotel is. It is a good hotel only judging by the TV model and size.

I  am pretty sure they update the TVs pretty often but when I was there (2017), the TV had a smart remote which you could control a cursor on the screen just by swinging in the air. 

It works like the video above.

The TV is big enough so that you could watch the TV from afar in your bed.

It looks like it is a quick job and printed on a regular sized glossy paper. And they cut it right in front of you out of the paper.

If you want to save money, Tomamor provides an alternative to Walgreens and CVS passport price which usually comes out to be at least $13. Why do you pay $13 when you can do it for $6?

As Americans or non-Chinese citizens interested in visiting China, you have to get a visa.

If you have a long layover in Beijing and you want to visit THE Great Wall? Oh well. You can't. (I am speaking about those from the countries that a Chinese visa is required)

So what you have to do is applying for a Chinese visa. 

And guess what.

They want you to submit a passport sized photo but not the US size (2 x 2 in) but Chinese standard sized.

Some of the Chinese visa requirements are

- Photo size should be 33x48mm

- Head size must be 28-33mm

- From the tip of the chin to the bottom of the photo should be greater than or equal to 7mm

- From the top of the head to the end of the photo should be between 3-5mm

Actually, that is not it.

There is the whole bunch of other requirement listed underneath.

No printing with matte finish, photo quality, shirt color, and the list goes on.

Also see the photo examples according to the publication of the Department of Consular Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Republic of China.

 Were you thinking of taking a random picture and cutting it? The problem is that you need a white background. If you bring a traditional gray background photo. Your photo will likely be rejected.

Where are you going to print the visa photo that matches the Chinese government's specification? You probably can't think of anywhere.

Then there is Tomamor. Tomamor is so easy and it allows you to pick up the right size Chinese visa photo.

If you upload a photo like this below.

So don't worry about the Chinese visa photo requirement and start worrying about what you are going to do in China! 

By the way, American citizens should definitely apply for the 10-year tourist visa (multiple entries) because it costs the same as the shorter length visas.

(By the way did you know that burritos are not from Mexico? Nobody knows for sure but as far as what Mexicans say, it is not from Mexico but an American version of Mexican food.)

I will actually skip my first time coming to Mexico. And go into the second part of Mexico travel.

The reason I went to Chiapas was because of someone's recommendation. 

I was hanging out with some people at a hostel in Yucatan, Mexico. Since Mexico is only known for Cancun, I wanted to go to Cancun as a novice traveler. And someone told me that I should go to Chiapas instead. He mentioned that if I go to Chiapas, I will be able to see "jungles". How intriguing is that?

Then I went back to my room and started googling it away. To be honest, Chiapas is not a well-known destination for people like me.

Not a lot of intriguing places and actually reviews in general. You know you HAVE TO go to those places that everyone goes to.

Now I wasn't intrigued anymore. But I still could go to Cancun next time.

Then I started this planning headache.

Chiapas Chiapas.

Where do I go.

Everything is Mayan ruins, cathedrals, waterfalls or lakes or rivers and that is about it. At least on Tripadvisor. And no visual. No eye candies right there.

O well.

Then I will go to Palenque because they have Mayan ruins and waterfalls and waterfalls.

And then I will go to San Cristobal for San Cristobal (I don't know why it is popular) and Sumidero (another water thing)

And go to Chiflon (another waterfall).

Now I am ready to go.

I'll continue next time
