These are usually the first words out of my mouth when seeing someone new. I used to think it would be a deal breaker, but it is exactly the opposite. Usually I find the new girl trying to compete...

Umm, that is a 10 year old law (May 2003, not 2013)

If it hasn't killed your social life by now I wouldn't be too worried.

Thanks for the pic! Brought back fond memories of my trip to Mindanao, but fortunately we had pig instead of frog. However, due to the amount of tuba I drank I doubt I would have noticed the...

Airport rates (Manila aiport, not your home airport) are actually pretty good. You can find slightly better rates in the city, but nothing to get excited about. I typically exchange enough for 2-3...

Right now the Cebu forum is having a thousand flowers bloom. This is fine when a group is figuring out what they want to do. However, at some point someone needs to step in and do some gardening. I...

I have to disagree. There are plenty of sights to see in PI, but it really helps to have a trustworthy local to guide you. I have friends in the Davao area who showed me a many interesting and off...

I wouldn't call Tokyo a "rip off". That assumes that the meter says one price but they charge you another. Rather, everything in Tokyo is just expensive, period, and the meter price reflects that....

Try it out! I just booked a flight for twice what they are advertising and thought it was a pretty good deal, but that price came without an asterisk stating "some restrictions may apply." ;-). I am...

Spend about 30 seconds on P. Burgos during any afternoon. Be sure to follow Dragon Slayer's advice; when someone offers you one 4-pack for 1000 pesos, just laugh in their face and tell them that 1000...

Which ones?

Well, that depends on the fish now doesn't it ;-) The main reason is that it is fairly easy for me to take a 4 day weekend somewhere in the western hemisphere, not so easy to take a...

Just returned from PI today (will post details over the coming days) , and am already scheming on how to see my newest fav filipina again real soon. It hit me that, while I have more money than time,...

Just by your SIM card at a 7-11. I did that last week (used SMART as the carrier) and it cost 40 pesos for the SIM, which you can then load according to your needs (I usually do a 500 peso load,...

You need to declare any foreign accounts containing USD $10,000 or greater.

Thanks Mattrick. I use Skype for most of my calls when I am on the road, and have very few problems, but there are times when I have no internet access (or what I have is too poor for Skype), in...

I'm in pretty much the same situation as Bonkers Tokyo, but I'll be needing to make/receive international calls as well. I'll probably need about 10 hours of calling time between PI and the US....

I'll be embarking on my first trip to PI shortly, and am curious about powering my laptop. What is the voltage there? Do they use standard US 2-prong outlets, or will I need a special adapter?

I thought you were trying to avoid casinos? Of course, if they provides girls as comps, then it means that even if you lose, you win!

Transcripts dude, we need transcripts of that conversation! Some of us who are out of practice need to learn your closing skills.

Hope to be in Cebu in less than 30 days, with stops in Tokyo and...

Recently split from my ex, and planning my cherry boy trip to the Philippines in Nov. Been to Japan for some modest mongering, mostly before marriage, and recently right after the split. My general...

Planning a visit to the Philippines in November and am thinking of having a suit custom made (in addition to other activities). Anybody know a good tailor?

I'll spend about 4 days in Cebu, 4 days...
