[QUOTE=GoodEnough]In my opinion the TCs are far more trouble than they're worth. You will have a difficult time finding places to cash them and, if you wind up at a bank, you could be waiting in lines for a long time. It's much better I think just to bring some cash and then rely on ATMs, which are all over the place and reasonably reliable. If you've got a Visa debit card, I suggest you use it as well so that you do not need to carry as much cash. The exchange rates--at least when I use my ATM--are not bad at all compared to the bank rate, and it's far less hassle.

GE[/QUOTE]I brought travellers cheques with me the first time I went to Philippines 5 years ago. I could not find anyone to cash them. I tried money changers, banks, everywhere. I finally found out from one bank that only PNB (Philippines National Bank?) anyway, the big national bank there, would cash them. I arrived and they said they had a cut-off time when they would cash them. I can't remember but 12 noon rings a bell. I just made it under the wire or I wouldn't have been able to change them that day at all, and I was out of cash. No need to bring them anyway. Debit cards work fine.

Am still trying to find a resort with bungalows on a nice quiet beach, internet and close to walk or taxi to bars and resturants.

Am looking for a place for several weeks as am wanting to focus on a computer project. Close to a place with variity of pussy.

If I get tired of her I will want to trade her in on a newer more exciting model.

I have not been but Puerto Galera area is best yet, I have heard of.

[QUOTE=Amavida]It's a requirement to have one, therefore you can be refused entry without one.

Ask your self this question : do i really want to fuck up my chance to have lots of sex with lots of beautiful delicious young girls over such a silly technicality?

Uh huh? I thought not.

So get a forward ticket to some place else before you come, simple.
What's the problem with booking your forward ticket to BKK? You can always rebook the flight if you need to change your itinerary later.

p.s. it's possible to B.S. your way past PI immigration but I wouldn't count on it. Do you _really_ want to mess with some third world goon in a uniform?
Uh huh, go book the ticket now, there's a good lad.

AV[/QUOTE]Thanks for the warning. I didn't intend to try to con my way through the immigration. I was just curious if there was a legal work around.

Anyway, I bought a return ticket so no probs. and now I'm here in Manila :)

Last time I entered the country I flat out refused at the Thai airways check in to buy a return ticket out of the Philippines. I told him I live there and don't know when I will travel out of the country again. He insisted I still refused. They let me on the plane anyway eventually even without the damn return ticket. Immigration never even once asked me that ticket. It may be a con from the airline company to force you to buy a last minute overpriced return ticket with them.

Anyway, buying a return ticket in advance with return date that can be changed for free is probably a better option just to avoid all the hassle. I also found out recently that unlike Cebu Pacific, buying a return ticket with Thai airways or Bangkok airways rather than two one ways can come out much cheaper. The problem is only if you improvise your next destination.

I was once refused entry in Thailand at the Cambodian border of Talin because I did not had an outbound ticket. This was even more ridiculous because this was ground travel and at the time I was going around with buses and improvised where next to go. Anyway, as it turned out it was a blessing in disguise as because of that I extended my stay in Cambodia for one month and it so happened that this month was one of the most memorable in my life.

Can you buy pre paid wi fi dongles Philippines.

Yes, there are 2 or three brands available.

I bought one in February. Its from Globe and was the best deal around at 900Php (about $20 USD) inlcuding a few hours use. That was half normal price.

I think Globe is probably the biggest carrier.

Not fast, but reasonable reception. Recharge easy to buy. Ask for Globe Tatoo.

You will find the modem is locked to Globe so you can't use another sim. Alternatively bring an unlocked sim from another country and just buy the local Tatoo sim.

Given the very low price of the Tatoo I didn't bother wasting any more time.

Others here will have more detailed and expert advice I'm sure.

Poor underdeveloped country, desperate for Euros, and USD, yet, they make us farang jump through hoops to get in there.

Try buying a ticket online and the list of requirements goes through the roof. You need to show proof of "yes boss, here is my ticket that states I will not sit on a fab PI beach for the rest of my life" when you want fly into the damn place. But once you are there. Mmmmmmmmmmmm aroy / enak mak2.

And these girls are such angels. And so good at relieving you of your green. The devil tought them well.

Will be in Cebu or mnl in about 4 weeks. God help me.

[QUOTE=Blackangst]Cagayan De Oro is one. Lots of amateurs also who are willing.[/QUOTE]thank you, I will check it out, I have read a bit on here about it and another area close by that seems popular.

Are there bungalows for rent or just hotels?

Hello everyone!

I will go to the Philippines next February, I am butterfly, but I am a passionate snorkelling, and go to Donsol (Sorgoson) and El Nido (Palawan)!

I read that many of you contact the girls in DIA, but I do not have the time and equipment during the day to chat, then it is not my style contact girls and a virtual friendship that then surely once back end, I will not deceive no.

My plan was to visit Manila a few days, then move to some gorni Angeles strascorrere divetrirmi and identify and hire a girl ch emi like to visit El Nido and another for Donsol. Io know Thailand well and I know he would not no problem go to Pattaya and barfine for a few days, and the girls are willing to follow me because they never had the chance to visit their country!

In the Philippines the same? As you offer a girl to follow you? Obviously giving board accommodation flights, all I want to load!

A few possibilities to have three in Palawan and Legazspi? Please
