A lot better than your normal, useless drivel. Most people would agree. I usually ignore your write-ups. But to badmouth a solid contributor cannot be ignored. Most people ignore you; I will start...

Also, it might not be good to let your girl know your full name linked to your regular FB account, if your account is searchable.

One regular searched thru FB, found me (my profile has my...

From my very limited experiences (in a few bars in Angeles and maybe in Sabang many years ago), it's up to you. It wouldn't make sense for the owner not to accept additional sales. I guess each bar...

Yes, that has happened to me several times over the past 30 years. But I always got a refund. Twice in Costa Rica, once in Colombia, and a few times in the Philippines.

What happened to me is that...

- I arrived at Manila International Airport around 3 PM. Long wait at the Yellow taxi line. Approx 40 minutes extra. Same experience a few years ago when I arrived during the nighttime. Assuming the...

I haven't been there for many years.

As I get older, I don't hardly ever snow ski or scuba dive.

Also, the prices for the Phuket go-gos girls are getting relatively expensive. Very expensive to...

In theory, it is for LT (1. 5 K barfine, 1. 5 K tip). Sometimes the mamasan will ask for the total amount before you leave. You can say I will pay the tip afterwards.

But it is similar to Angeles....

There's no direct flights from Cebu to Saigon.

Get a letter to get a visa on arrival. You can do in over the internet. Google "Vietnam visa on arrival".

- Right now, you can get flights (even...

I never pay the surcharges. I just pay the bill with cash.

I'm not saying that I'm not dumb, but I probably don't want to make a fuss with that nice waitress (in order to get some credit card...

Thanks! Good to know.

But, as I previously wrote, I'm a passive geek...

The hotel's restaurant will charge you 5% extra from the menu prices if you want to use a credit card. Since I stay there...

The Royal Amsterdam Hotel will charge you 2600 pesos for the trip from Manila airport to Angeles.

Front desk lady said you don't have to stay at the hotel to use that service, but you have to...

As most of you guys have observed (except for those fakes on this site), the girls will usually close or lock the bathroom door. I never looked.

On my last night in Angeles, I was in the shower...

Has the barfine system changed at Subic Bay, or was she "pulling your leg"? Is there a mandatory tip?

Previously, the barfine covered everything, just like Angeles. The tip was up to you. One of...

I've done the LAX to Manila flight on PAL a few times.

If it's the same from a few years ago, the LAX to Manila leg generally has a stopover in Guam for refueling, but if the flight is empty, it...

If you got charged in US dollars, it's probably because you "forgot" to uncheck another box. It's the box at the end when the website ask you if you want to be charged in US dollars. If you leave...

Your questions has been discussed numerous times, but I'll answer them. "Humans tend to repeat themselves".

White Beach has a nice beach; there are no girlie bars; there are only bars on the beach...

Things are changing in this internet world.

For Cebu Pacific Airline (http://www.cebupacificair.com/) , it doesn't matter where you log on to the internet. Normally, the earlier you get it, the...

As the previous post stated, there are no HSBC ATMs in Angeles. Can't remember the withdrawal limit, but it definitely is over 10, 000 pesos.

There is a new PS Bank ATM next to Walk-About Hotel on...

Philippine ATMs changed recently (it's now like the Thai ATMs).

Previously, the ATMs would give you the cash buy rate without an ATM charge.

Now, the ATMs give you the "Visa" rate which is...

I was talking about reality. That's why I wrote "should"; but technically they can demand proof; maybe if you look susupicious. Wondering how they treat the Africans.

In my numerous travels, I...

The airline clerk in the US will ask you to show proof (your itinerary/E-ticket) of your flight out of the Philippines.

Immigration in the Philippines should not ask you to show them anything...

Philippine is the only country around SE Asia in which the airline employee at the host country will ask for an itinerary on your return ticket. They said that immigration will demand a return...

Most ATMs and Visas will charge you a foreign transaction fee and/or service fees.

One of the best is the Charles Schwab ATM; they will rebate the ATM machine transaction fee and they do not...
