Oh, good point. To be considered fully vaccinated at this point requires the original shots (assuming a two shot system like Pfizer) as well as a booster shot. Not many countries yet are actively...

You are correct. I flew in to Cebu from Germany by way of Singapore on July 12 and did not require a negative test. I had my OHP, including the QR code, and I am fully vaccinated. Immigration process...

Ahh, gotcha, my bad. Yeah, that empty lane is always a pleasure.

Approval for an APEC card takes about 6 months and requires vetting by 20 countries. I'm sure if you had gone through it you would know!! I do have a travel exemption already (for business), but...

I wonder if that might apply to me then (not that Australia allows us out at the moment.). I have an APEC card, so don't actually need a visa of any kind to travel to Philippines (and most of the...

My ex managed to shaft us both. I offered to pretty much walk away, just with control of my companies, which meant giving her a house (and everything in it) worth $2,400,000 free and clear. She said...

Renting a yacht was right at the top of the suggestions I was going to make. Topped off with a couple travelling companions and you have heaven on earth, without the infrastructure, traffic,...

Unlikely. I get the exact same screen you describe. Seems pretty silly.

I hear you on that one. I'm looking at picking up a place for myself in Singapore, and have ended up coming to the conclusion that it is better to buy one of the older places, because the new ones...

Well, the original comment was just an amusing thought experiment (You're a party-pooper, Mr E!), but being in the AEC industry I can in fact see how to make it work, even after a mongering...

Wasn't proposing that I be the one to do it. LOL! But if you had 50 people kick in to a dozen or so apartments, it could get interesting. And then, no, there would be no rent, it would be time-share...

Ran into an interesting article yesterday: https://www.gobankingrates.com/investing/real-estate/best-countries-investment-property/. It rates Philippines as best global real estate investment...

There's a lawless group of Mothers I'd Like to Fuck roaming around kidnapping foreigners? Sounds like the best way to go ever!

No, enlightened self-interest simply means you will act in a way towards others that best provides the environment to encourage them to act the way you would wish them to for your own purposes. So,...

But hang on, SHOULDN'T they think of themselves and their needs as more important to them than our needs? We are a means to an end for them, just as they are for us. It's called 'Enlightened...

Yep, I had the same problem. Just go to nypost.com and type the article title into the search field: "man-gets-life-for-buying-filipino-children-to-use-for-sex-and-porn".

Good riddance. Shithead deserves a hell of a lot more than just life in jail.

The FR has a good PINT? What a perfectly placed typo! Love it. Thanks for a big smile on a tough day mate. Catch you soon!

Guess I can't argue with the nutritional aspect but I love both Pork Adobo and Beef Sisig. After that I start looking for Japanese or Thai places. I have had Balut a couple of times. Taste is fine if...

Fortunately, I don't need to worry about privacy / hide from a spouse, etc, so security would just be the annoyance factor if in a large building. Good point on laundry. I did have an outside place...

Thanks. Craigslist cleaner is a great idea.

Hey all,

I have a question.

I'm thinking about coming to the Philippines for a longer stay soon, and leaning towards the idea of AirBnB (which I use quite a bit in regular business travel. I...

Wow!!

OK, I might have to copy this into the notes area on my phone. But then of course I would need advice on how to keep a secret set of notes! LOL. What an amazing routine, lots of great advice...

A quick question for the group.

I see in quite a few reports people talk about the need to cleanup in between visits by different girls, and how important that is. Naturally, it is a 'gentlemanly'...

I'm flying through (to Cebu) on the 3rd, and back out on the 12th. Meant to be! Unless, of course, those are Filipino work dates, in which case I'm screwed on the way back out.
