Quonset hut? I went thru the Clark Int Airport before they had done any interior work, other than ac. So I get what you mean. I can still think of all kinds of reasons to fly there rather than...

The Filipino communication technique that always amuses me is the way they point with their mouths / lips. If there isn't a word for such a thing, there should be. How about Labium Guidance?

I might be completely wrong, but I always assumed his exaggeration and satire were meant to be taken with a grain of salt. Am I the only one who thinks it's funny? I like reading the Borowitz report...

You really come up with some great stuff. You ought to write a book.

I thought the target was a gal employed at Starbucks. Nevertheless, point taken. As for the creepy guy, don't be creepy.

I recommend you print up some of your own cards and then slip one to the object of your attraction. It's worked well for me in the past.

My lady was successful with a new passport, traveling alone, Cebu to Tokyo. She was well prepared (money, photos, etc.) and kept her cool with a lot of questions from a female immigration officer.

My favorite bit of Phil. History is that Magellen wasn't happy about a certain tribe on the island which is now called Mactan. He floated his warship up to the coast and got his butt kicked big time.

Since you've been around the block a few times, I'm not sure exactly what you are asking, or why. So, I'll just throw a few things out there.

If you have a gal that you feel comfortable traveling...

I did! The gal was busy texting and when she finally looked up I said, "sorry to bother you". No wait, I'm imagining things. She never bothered to look up. I bought a Globe card later since my older...

The taxis and the congestion is probably one of the main reasons I often fly direct to Cebu. On my last trip I did Home / CEB / CRK / MNL / Home which worked out very well. CEB / CRK will cost more...

Pasay isn't such a bad place. New establishments are constantly opening around the Mall of Asia (Golden phoenix for example). If you get tired of the mall, take a walk around. Also consider a visit...

I tip the security guard if he goes beyond the call of duty with pulling a bag our of a taxi trunk or hailing a taxi. I don't know what kind of trouble BM get's himself into, but to each his own....

Asian Air dropped me off at Term 4 a few nights ago. The taxi stand is very close to the road. The queue wasn't long so I waited patiently. I noticed two guys who walked out directly to the street...

Whine, whine, why don't you do all the work for me WR.

There are cultural differences in play here and there are various ways of dealing with it. I've found that it is important to confirm and reconfirm a meet up. It helps a lot to be in the country and...

I'm not sure about the question, "what do I go toward?

I've usually found meeting family to be an adventure in itself. I've never had a bad experience, although it can be a bit uncomfortable.

The pollution of urban waterways is one of the saddest things I see in the Philippines. I might disagree with your listing of tricycle. Yes, they are noisy, but they are also convenient and cheap....

I've stood out in the hallway and pointed my computer at the wifi. It usually doesn't help. Agree with 787, go to the lobby or the restaurant and your prayers might be answered.

Recent news indicate a scary incident where a smoking Phil A flight to Japan had to return to Manila. I don't wish anyone bad luck, but I'd be happy if the Duturte exchange rates apply in December...

There is a Cebu forum. Do you have access to it? If so, you should move your questions to that location.

Also, if you tell us the length of stay, a rough budget, and what you want to do at the...

I've been there several times and taken a gal every time. I also went to the disco there with my lover. It's hard to evaluate the freelance opportunities, since I wasn't looking. I recommend you find...

Been thru Manila airport three times in the last three weeks and have to agree that improvements seem to have been made. Taxi issues seem to have been sorted out somewhat.

Sidenote. Checking in...

It's called Phillies. I can buy my own beer, thanks anyway.

I responded to your penis humor with my own humor. It was kind of surprising that you immediately went into full attack, name calling...

It's been a long time since you've posted more than one sentence at a time. You must have really put in some effort here. Congratulations.
