GE seems to set a mood change. Hope it lasts!!
I've been known to be brusk with people here and there, so I have no right to criticize the criticizers. I will say that all of us old-timers at ISG should aspire to be as calm and generous as GE. Because of his good advice I was able to leave my comfort zones of the Philippines and explore some parts of Mindanao. That was nearly a decade ago. Thanks again GE.
[QUOTE=GoodEnough;1716411]No, not so much that. I merely wanted to communicate that the reasons so many of us enjoy SE Asia even more as we get older is because, from the standpoint of hanging out with younger women, our age isn't nearly as relevant as it would be in the West. I've been away for long enough that it actually seems normal for me to see old men and young women. I guess that the only way to truly appreciate that is to get older and come here.
As to your questions, I don't mind them, at all. We were all once new with little or no experience of the countries in the region. The best advice I could give you is just to come out for as much time as you can spare and experience the place, as what appeals to some may not appeal to others. If you've got limited time, I think Edsa Entertainment Complex across from the Heritage Hotel is a good suggestion. It's not far from Paraaque, where the airport is, and there are lots of choices.
Have fun and let us know what you eventually decided.
