#6 Same here. Just did a bank transfer Monday and it hit my bank on Wednesday. One tip, let your bank know that you will be using paypal and that paypal will be sending money to your account, and in some cases taking money out of your bank account. #7 For me in India, it takes about 3-4 working days and sometimes in just 2-3 days.
Travel from Brussels to Amsterdam direct on the high-speed Thalys train. Offering great service, amenities & e-tickets, Thalys is the way to go from Brussels to Amsterdam. In Brussels be sure to visit the Grand Place and then go looking for the Mannekin Pis statue to discover what costume he's modeling.
Taking a regional train from Paris to Amsterdam means more travel time than by high-speed train. It also means you'll save money and have the possibility to stop along the way in beautiful cities such as Amiens and Antwerp. If you're traveling with a Eurail pass, you don't need to buy a ticket.
