Um, well, afaik it is not compulsory for girls to be three holers, and some are not. If they choose to do that and that is their business plan, why not?

You might ask some guys presently working...

Geez, it's just a job. Of course they only like being bonked by Pinoys. Go look at the romance section of any Filipino bookstore and see if you can see any hero other than a Pinoy. So they are...

I think that you have misunderstood Gangles' use of the word 'you'. He was using it in the impersonal sense since he actually replied to my post about your comments. Hence the implication of...

Do you have evidence for this assertion?

For example, if it were true, then there would be suspiciously high numbers of people coming home to other countries with HIV. The Phils Govt MIGHT be...

You know, I am willing to bet that she probably had you lined up as husband material, either for herself or for a 'friend' or at the very least for some lucky pinay thereabouts. So you NEEDED a...

Yeah, there is always a price you pay when you are in a different culture.

Every culture does stuff that others think are crazy. Just ask the average Australian what he thinks about the US custom...

I have used Pimsleur for Thai and Tagalog. Level 1 only.

The Tag is a little easier because the pronunciation is harder for Thai.

As far as usefulness is concerned, I really consider both of...

I am sure that they figure people using the no checked luggage option will be sailing close to the weight limit for cabin baggage. So they check those bags carefully because even if you are only a...

Yeah, and it does not have to be that expensive. All you need is a ticket out of the country to anywhere. A cheap as chips ticket to Sin or Kul on a low cost carrier will do it.

The other thing...

When travelling on holiday I never ever have check in luggage, so I use Jetstar's 'Lite' option if I am travelling with them. The warning is that they almost always check the weight of the carry on...

Agree whole heartedly.

The advantage of being able to say even a few words well exceeds the effort to learn.

With such aids as Pimsleur being cheap, it is easy to get up to a couple of hundred...

Sh*t Sh*t Sh*t!!!!!!

I just bought a ticket via Singapore two weeks ago via Sin - just wasted $$$$$ and time. Bwahhhhh!!!!

Still, in future it means I can get on a plane at 7pm in Darwin, and...

Travellers Cheques - avoid. The rate is not that important, it is finding somewhere to change them. The Phils is one place where you need to check up with your travellers cheque supplier on...

I think Sammon's idea to Western Union it to yourself for collection when you get back is probably the easiest - even if it were a little more expensive, the convenience and safety of not having it...

A one way ticket out of the PI dated some time in the future by one of the discount airlines is not that much to pay for peace of mind. Normally the airlines going into the country ask for the...

Folks, you have to remember that a lot of this is all coming from the Media.

Just think what an impression foreigners would get of us in our countries if they got their ideas about us from such...

Hi Greg,

A couple of comments/suggestion.

You are quite right that guys quite often settle for less because they are comparing the market in PI to the market back home. However, I reckon that...

He is just planning his next trip...obviously an LT.

A couple of years ago, I met Bigdan in Prague.

He is a regular of the Prague Boards (and a wealth of information if you ever want to go there or ask on the boards).

He showed me round and took...

Zest air charge about 300P to fly from MNL to CRK - takes half an hour. Mind you, with the airport waiting, security and general hassles, the total time and trouble might not save all that much.

The quantity is higher and the quality on average is lower (IMO - and YMMV). However, with the higher quantity, you probably have at least as many good lookers. You just have to trawl through many...

Sometimes ATM cards don't work.

I have had cards rejected in AC for example and had to hunt out other ATMs. This is often because of ATM malfunction. I always bring enough cash to enable me to...

There are some words of caution.

First of all, banks are constantly changing their fees and charges. So what may be $3.50 per transaction today can be 3.5% tomorrow. (I have at least one bank...

Hi,

Have a look here:

You could contact them direct just to check if they have your particular code there or not. (Aussie rules man meself).

LOL Ace.

I have not heard of that one, but even if the ladies do not have a day off, by my calculations even if he paid the barfine in full for the sixteen days, it would only amount to 20,800...
