Exchange the rupees to $$ in India before you go. Then change $$ to pesos in the Philippines. Bring new undamaged $100 dollar bills. Maybe there is a black market in India that gives a better rate...

How much time remains for DIA, WeChat, and even ISG as it furthers the same interests which which were found to be objectionable in the personals section of Craigslist?

It's holding the line. It's avoiding the slippery slope. If I let them get away with it now it will embolden them in the future. So many ISG folks ask why we begrudge these poor people the several...

Many times during Holy Week have I witnessed a young Filipino carrying a heavy cross emulating Jesus, mile after mile flagellating himself with a metal chain such that his back was raw and bloody....

You need some math help. Yeah, I remember the disheartened French soldiers marching past my house on what was then La Rue de Massige. So let's not have a pissin' contest about who knows what about...

There's no reason to be insulting, Mr. Morales. I lived as a resident in Saigon in the years before Dien Bien Phu. This was probably before you were born. I was fluent in Vietnamese. That faculty has...

The locals still call it Saigon and it will always be called that. Some Filipinos work there as English teachers. Expensive? That's going to depend on what's on your shopping list. But the question I...

So I am thinking of taking a Filipina to a foreign destination just to give her a thrill. Saigon comes to mind but I am open to anything that is workable. I am budget minded. Has anybody done...

RK? Flagfall? Please amend and update this as you see fit. Thank you Mr. West Coast.

About a year ago I asked one of our esteemed and most prolific ISG contributors for his advice on tipping. He sent me a PM on the matter and I am republishing here. I don't believe that it contains...

An article in the NY Times, "Another Foothold for Philippine Cuisine," extols the marvels of Philippine cooking. I don't see it. To me Pinoy food has Chinese, Spanish, and US fast food influences....

I read it on this forum. Close your eyes and just listen to the voice. Is the voice female or male?

You have unintentionally created irony. The 'he' that you are referring to here is me. I had asked a question back in 2013. At that time your investigation of me revealed I had made several...

This is an example of the treatment that newcomers receive from so-called experts. It is sarcastic. It is unwelcoming and discourages newcomers from continuing further. (Not me because I earned my...

I am disappointed that you perceive the issue in terms of contrariness for its own sake. Allow me to give greater scope to the problem. A few ISG members who are frequent posters on the Philippine...

The commercial / accounting system in retail businesses which has been the subject of recent posts. Here are a few more observations on this issue.

(1) Only one person handles the cash register...

In November I got round trip from SFO to MNL for $487 on China Southern. Short layovers in Guangzhou. Try ASAP tickets.

A broader view of these issues needs taken.

(1) Credible authority has recommended that antibiotic therapy can be suspended 3 days after the patient is asymptomatic (10.1136/ bmj. D7955). Since...

Yeah. Similar thing happens to me about a week ago. At terminal one I climb upstairs to get a taxi at the departure drop off. So many touts and one tells me he has a meter. I get in one and off we go...

You got an invitation to a casa. The taxi driver gets a kickback and I am not OK with that type of sales. I went twice and once I partook. The girl had a stinky urinary track infection and was a...

I've come to recognize the smell of UTI. It is common and a couple of doses of antibiotics can usually clear it up. Do her a favor and spring for a visit to a nearby lady MD to confirm and some...

We are alike you and I; the pleasure of the experience begins with its anticipation. You are in for a treat and you will I fear you will also experience disappointment. You have had a lot of...

Remember also that you cannot disinherit your wife. A will that tries to do it will not be enforced. Thus you may be worth more dead than you are alive. It won't take much encouragement for Cuja...

I take 2 girls so they have company. Last time I did it with sisters. BTW when I can I target BG's who have been left alone by their "boyfriend" who went diving. They are happy to get a quick 1000...
