[QUOTE=Bonico;2934050]Hi all,
I plan on visiting the Philippines soon. I live in Tokyo, though I'm from the US. My best friend is Filipino (from Cavite) and said I'd have a great time there, even more than in Japan. He suggested to me that I should definitely not go to Manila, rather to "go south. " Started rambling on about how Manila is dangerous and grimy, and how the girls would like me more if I, again "went south. " I suppose I could go to Cebu or something. Do you guys agree with this?
I particularly do like the "grimy" nightlife in Japan and spend a good deal of time in underground bars. It can be quite dangerous, so I think I'm comfortable with it. That being said, we are talking about Japan which is safe even in its most sketchy places.
My goals are basically to hang out with a lot of girls and sing karaoke.[/QUOTE]You can find videoke about anywhere. Personally, I think Manila is too overcrowded. Getting anywhere takes a long time. A city in the province is always more of my thing.
I just got back from Mindanao, and it was really safe there. I was in Gensan and areas around there. It was overall much cleaner and smelled better than Manila. Less noisy. And the girls are thinner and bigger boobs. For a Filipina. I also spent time in South Luzon. It was nice there, though not as clean. Standard Filipina girls there. Skinny and small boobs. Just my $0. 02.
