As a person from a developing country, I deeply feel how tough it is to apply a visa to Western countries.
1) I remember when I applied the student visa to Spain, they required me to have a criminal record from Italy. It is because I spent one year studying in Italy.
“Visa inequality has tangible consequences and the world’s poorest pay the price.”

Attending a television game show is always an amazing experience. The legendary video of Carpenter really reminded of the time that I took part in the Face Off (a television game show from 20th Century Fox) - Vietnamese version. So we can do anything and that the way it is!
John Carpenter, the first ever $1 million winner on "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" in November 1999, didn't use any lifelines until the final question. He then called his father not for help, but to tell him he was about to win the grand prize.
