With regard to the chatter below, here are the rules for Singapore (ex Manila, vax, US passport). Lots of rules. I have posted this link many times but people refer to ask anonymous cuckolds on marginal websites what the rules are. First, obvious thing with Singapore is your paper would want to be right.

I live in Singapore. If you are vaccinated there are ZERO restrictions to enter. No test, no quarantine, hell you don't need to wear a mask on the flight here or anywhere in the city. You need to fill out an entry form online and upload your vax cert. Thats it. And if you don't have vax, you can enter with a PCR test. How much easier does it have to be?

I went to Thailand and I was there for 3 weeks before I came back to the Philippines.

I planned to use the time in Thailand to have a complete break from vaxxing Pinays in Cebu, which would have given me a chance to recharge my batteries. Alas, I was press-ganged into vaxxing some of the local girls in Thailand.

You mean that I have to go all the way to Thailand in order to get a vacation from my vaxxing duties? F*ck! (Freudian slip).

As I pioneered the program during pandemic, I am sure BongBong will insist that I return.

Its time the fellas return. Me and Mdemde are tired of having to do all the vaxxing around here. The work never ends; its exhausting.

Yes, very much so. As a Senior, now pushing 70, I find the vaxxing work to be *extremely* exhausting.

My Philippine visa expired 2 months ago and I needed to exit the country. I went to Thailand and I was there for 3 weeks before I came back to the Philippines.

I'm back in Cebu City now and being the conscientious and dedicated person that I am have resumed my vaxxing duties, but I really don't know how much longer I can hold out. As Westie said, it's time for some of the fellas to return.

Maybe that was a Covid thing? ASFIK there is no restriction to enter Singapore even for the day if you are transiting (assuming your passport doesn't need a visa). You can transit, hit Geylang or a FS Spa while you wait.

Correct. My visit was when Changi had opened to transit passengers but under quite strict conditions.

Do you have any links to the new rules? If official, it's certainly good news as Singapore Air quite often have 10+ HR stopovers for me.

Thanks. G.

Singapore Airlines flights to SG can be quite expensive. However, add on legs to other Asian capitals, MNL, BKK, PHN etc can be very cheep. Maybe worth investigating for your desired airports.

Note that last time I was in SG, transits were no longer allowed through Customs to spend the day in town.

In my Euro travels I have to get creative when I want to go somewhere I look for flying to a decoy location then catching a separate booked flight to actual destination.

Wondering if flights to Hong Kong, Singapore, Bangkok, Tokyo would be in the mix.

Flights to HK, Sing, BKK, or Tokyo. Originating where?

Here (pic) is a quick search from LAX to HK, for the month of November, the first few flights listed. Just under USD $1,000 to $1,300, round-trip.

[CenTexCrash]

Well fellas. Checking flights. google.com. First pic, I chose dates for a 6-week round-trip, MNL-LAX flight around April of next year. Results in the picture below. Flights below $1,000 US Dollars can be had.

Second pic, similar for November of this year, LAX-MNL. Round trip flights well under $1,000 USD.

Good info but I don't do 37 hour flights with 2 stops. And I'm coming from LAX. December apparently sucks. $2400+. But I'll do it. Really looking forward to doing nothing for a month other than romancing sexy pinays.

Still not clear, is J&J "fully vaccinated" or are they requiring "boosters?" The J&J doesn't have any actually FDA approved boosters. They're only EUA.

Thought I explained this about 5 posts back in this thread (post #15415). Please send me a PM and I will further explain.

Some good news for those people like myself who detest the wearing of face-masks! The mask mandate was lifted in Cebu province 3 months ago (only in the province, not in the tri-city areas of Cebu City, Mandaue City and Lapu-Lapu), then it was lifted in Cebu City 2 weeks ago, now it has been lifted across the whole country, but only in outdoor settings. A step in the right direction.

START:

THIRD ANNE PERALTA-MALONZO.

September 12,2022.

PRESIDENT Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. Issued on Monday, Sept. 12,2022, an executive order (EO) allowing the voluntary wearing of face masks in outdoor settings across the country amid the coronavirus disease (Covid-19) pandemic.

Under EO 3, which is "effective immediately," wearing of masks is no longer mandatory in "open spaces and non-crowded outdoor areas with good ventilation. ".

According to Reuters, some 72% of Pinoys too the clot shot. https://graphics.reuters.com/world-c...s/philippines/ A pity other, more important shots are less in demand. I would question the quality of shots in such a shtt hole but that is just me. I get it most folk here just want a comfort blanket, to believe they can jet around the world, bang paupers and not get taken down.

Here are global COVID rates, the Philippines included https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/.

For my part, I find links, all links, interesting but not all links worth clicking through on. I know most people don't give a FK about Covid and never did, just as long as Faucci or some other weasel says they are safe.

Covid will be back this winter as we freeze our nuts off. They now have kids in Australian eating crickets.

Me? I am reduced to banging Brazilians and paying more than they are worth. I check on them and see they'd hooked in Brazil before. One price there, another here for the same mutton. Pinay meat, sadly, does not travel well.
