Skip the insurance. I don't know your ailments, but if they are serious enough, fly yourself to BKK or HK for treatment. The treatment is first rate, the price is cheap.

[QUOTE=X Man]Yes, Davao is less influenced by the monsoon, but GE, as he as previously mentioned in the Davao thread, drives a motor vehicle.
to say that the "rains don't put a damper on much of anything" is way off mark.
You will NOT get a taxi when it rains. Okay, you might if you are waiting in the taxi cue at Marco Polo.
Rain causes taxi drought.... X[/QUOTE]
X is correct and I'm not. I forgot that, since I've got my own car, I never experience the need for a taxi, but they do tend to become scarce in the rain and they're usually plentiful.

[QUOTE=Questor 55]I'm in a state of 'sticker shock' after looking into 2 months coverage for my coming trip to P. I. Here in Canada I have been quoted over a thousand dollars for two months coverage. Now, granted, I am over the hill, a smoker, and have a few other (stable) health issues. However, that thousand dollars plus ($US) can go a long way for other purposes in P. I.
Some members have suggested not to bother, as health costs are considerably cheaper in the Philippines. However, a major issue would still, undoubtedly, be a fair whack of cash.
Has anyone purchased medical/travel insurance in P. I? Most importantly, does anyone have experience with actually being reimbursed?
I would appreciate some immediate feed-back on this, as I will be leaving soon. BTW, I have spent several months on two previous trips, in the Philippines, so generally know my way around.
Thanks for any suggestions! Questor 55[/QUOTE]Questor,

Standing in the pouring rain with a single flimsy umbrella, trying to get a taxi, with a woman I had just met, was miserable.
Of course when we finally reached our destination, we both were more than eager to shed our wet clothes.
Sometimes bad luck provides unexpected rewards. X

Would someone help direct me to this website?

Was in Angeles last month.
Warning: Do not buy Viag or Cial from street vendors.
I bought a bogus product- Cialis in a box- and became I'll shortly thereafter.
I think there was a connection. Use the Pharmacies.

Did you fill your scrip at the hospital pharmacy? Big mistake as they overcharge big time there. Best to take it to Mercury or preferably Generic Pharmacy where you can pick up perfectly good medicines at bargain rates.
For example a broad spectrum antibiotic (and anti-malarial) such as doxycycline is 1 peso a tablet at Generic. A hospital pharmacy will charge you upwards of 50 pesos a tablet.
Dr. Stunt, thank you for your wisdom. Any meds for my addiction to skinny sx?

Yup, a daily visit (for her) to Jollibees is in order. You would soon have chubby sx. Wouldn't cure your addiction but would sure make her happy.
Why post pics on the General Info thread, you maniac!!
During my trip to AC last January, one of my buddies met a girl who wanted to fuck him bad but couldn't because she was on the rag. She got off work that morning and showed up at his hotel room with Mefenamic Acid, took it and told him her menstruation would stop within two hours. Sure enough, it stopped and they commenced to fucking!
I've been on the mongering scene for some time and have never heard of this stuff. I'm wondering how dangerous it is for the girls to use this type of medication, and how wide spread the use is in the bar scene world. Has anyone else heard of this?

In 2009 I went to the emergency room once in Davao and Once in Makati. Both times the cost was around $20 for something easy. Not sure what a major illness would cost you.
The Medicine was not that too expensive, and there seems to be a couple of pharmacies in every mall.

Mefenamic Acid is a pain-killer sold here over the counter in the PI - some people take it routinely for headaches. It is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) so it is not just a regular headache pill and should be treated with some respect.
I know some women take it when they have menstrual pain and cramps, but I have never heard of it "stopping" menstruation like your friend claims it did for his girl.
Logic tells me that the accumulated blood has to keep coming out as a natural blood flow until it is finished. I cant imagine anything like this stopping that process.
Maybe it was just a freaky coincidence?
Hope someone who actually knows the pharmacology can enlighten us?

My GF took something (chinese written all over it) and did the same thing and it worked for her (and luckily for me) but took 1 night not to stop not a day. Then her period was heavy and very clotty but after I left and she was in severe pain. Can not be healthy whatever happened.
I'd say there are magic pills out there for anything (and most come from china and i've seen things floating all over PI and Thai) but I sure as hell don't trust them medically.
Did I commit some sort of faux pas?
Every thread has the photo load function - it must be there for a reason.
There are a lot of lurkers who never make it past the photo thread. In fact some of my best booty was displayed under posts disguised as hotel recommendations.
Did you miss those?

Probably, as, having my own place, I have little reason to look at the hotel threads, although the Manila Hotel thread is interesting enough for I'm a hot sheet motel aficionado. Its also as funny as hell when a certain character gets off more on the expensiveness and stariness (is that a word?) of his flop rather than the quality of the pussy he is flopping with. Now that is hilarious:D.
I digress. I recall you posting a doggy top shot (my favourite pose) on the PG chit-chat board. Now that IS fucking perverse but this is the degree of nutty individuality we expect from you. Are you still taking the pills?
Admittedly 95% of lurkers on the photo galleries are probably just that and won't be contributing anything useful in the foreseeable future (although Jackson luvs 'em as they pay his rent). The other 5% are just waiting for the opportunity and encouragement and a few choice pics might just be what is needed to get them digging through those old holiday snaps to show off their own stuff.
I might be wrong, but I think that it is the Photo Galleries what keep sites such as these afloat. Look at the viewing figures on all the forums, PG's threads viz a viz all other threads and you will see what I mean.

I hear what you're saying, but she specifically told him she would be able to have sex without blood 2 hours later. True to her word, she was able to. The crazy shit bar girls do!
