My First e-Passport Renewal Experience Overseas

I went early yesterday morning to Dammam to renew my passport through the Philippine Embassy in Riyadh’s “Embassy on Wheels” or the EOW program. Thanks to a colleague, who’s also a volunteer for the EOW, for giving me a lift to the Al Jazeera International School (Philippine School of Dammam).

So Close,Yet So Far Away – Free Personal Finance Seminar for OFW’s in Israel

In case you don’t know, telecommunication between Saudi Arabia and Israel is totally forbidden, even if they are just neighboring countries.

So close, yet so far away. Continue reading So Close,Yet So Far Away – Free Personal Finance Seminar for OFW’s in Israel
