[QUOTE=Amavida;1649029]One of my GF's just gave me her 'old' iPhone 5 since she has upgraded to a six+. (SNIP) I'd forgotten how bloody well these things work in comparison to an Android or Winphone. [/QUOTE]The iPhone has revolutionized my texting world. With the Siri feature I just dictate the messages I wish to send. I've rid myself of the pain in my left thumb, and I can get my first round of morning texting done in under an hour!
[QUOTE=WestCoast1;1649295]Thumbs-up to TI. Roomy, clean, pool tables also. Its a bit like a Hooters (minus the hotties in shorts).[/QUOTE]TI has great strong wi-fi connections. Also plenty of electrical floor outlets by the tables to charge your laptops, tablets and / or cell phones. What I really like is the non-smoking room. Has one of the best Hawaiian pizza on a thin crust.
[QUOTE=Pantot;1649261]Wow congrats! That's the first time I heard of a guy getting a hand me down from a pinay. I thought it all was a one way stream and all they gave me in return was sweetness, sex and a temporary feeling of true love and bonding.
The only ones I have ever GF'd were the poor ones. I have encountered some that were not but they were too much work by comparison and usually older than I prefer.[/QUOTE]LOL! Thanks. My 'A' team are not rice paddy refugee's. The rich like to big note themselves in Asia just as anywhere. Who knows what machieavellian plots are in her female Pinay brain.

Just go back 20 pages on Manila, gen info, Angles city, and read forward. Then you will know area? Where you are going? Have you mongered before, Do you want to do dating sites. Well go back 20 pages there and read forward. You will ask good questions then. RP meaning Republic of the Phillipines has many types of mongering places and ways. But it is one of the best in Asia for the GFE, meaning girl friend experience. Happy hunting.

Many times I have been there the staff need to reboot everything and recently due to someone banging a hammer etc the WiFi was switched off so I went to Handlebar.
No smoke is great as the smokers can sit outside.
Dg. To quote the guy who was voted best pizza maker "pineapple and pizza don't mix, you never put pineapple with pizza" LOL.

AV.[/QUOTE]You give my A team too much credit.
Rice paddy life is hard ass work, never even encountered one. Mine don't have the intestinal fortitude to handle such a life. Sari store refugee might be more apt. The main attraction of my lineup is its like a college football team. They have a perpetual glow of youth because they are an always changing roster no one ever gets old because they graduate and fresh coeds are always added. The difference is though while appearing to be physically fit, and looking adorable, its more a function of poverty which morphs into something quite unappealing well before the age of 30.

Now that I've tried it, dictating & firing off emails & texts is a breeze. I'm amazed how good the voice recognition is. My Android phone was pretty crap at this.

[QUOTE=Gangles;1648603]A Filipino friend of mine here in Australia needs to send $30,000 to the Philippines to buy a house.
Does anyone know how this amount can be transferred easily, quickly, low fees, and good exchange rate?
Happy mongering.
G[/QUOTE]Earlier this year I set up an account with these guys:[URL]https://www.afex.com/australia/[/URL].
Easy to transact once I had done all of the paperwork. Then it is done through BPay from your bank. Takes 2-3 days. Rates were better than my corporate bank.
[QUOTE=CunningStunt;1649028]Help! I'm suffering severe hobnob biscuit withdrawal symptoms![/QUOTE]Hahaha! Who cares?
I'm suffering severe Pinay withdrawel symptoms. Now do you have any idea what I'm going through? I'm barely alive anymore, LOL!
So what the fuck am I doing in Vietnam? Oh well.
I arrived on the 18 went get the longer visa at the airport, I said "can I have a visa extension" " yes sir that is 3000 peso" said the officer. I counted the total bill it came to 2786 welcome back to Phil.
QUOTE=Pantot its like a college football team ENDQUOTE. I like this football team analogy, Pan. It also suggests the constant need for training and salary caps. The older players do have an expiration date.
[QUOTE=Hutsori;1648996]Short answer: there is HUGE problem at both Manila ports. Ships are waiting weeks and even months to get a berth. Too many ships trying to dock at a port that doesn't have the capacity. And of course mismanagement and corruption. Manila Bay has become a parking lot. If you google "Manila port congestion" you'll find all the news reports of it as well as the finger pointing.[/QUOTE]Many thanks to you and all who chipped in, much appreciated. Guess its the waiting game now. Next time will use air freight, but possibly futile and just end up wasting money on that.
