General Info

Does it make any sense to complain to the authorities about poor sanitation etc in hotels. Or does anyone in this country give a fuck about anything? My hotel has a water problem a plumber should be able to fix in half a day at the outset but they see it as my problem, not theirs.

There are a lot of long term residents happy to live here with the rats but this should be a holiday place, not a front line Ukrainian trench. This [blue][Deleted by Admin][/blue] attitude is a godsend to corruption, sloth and much more.

I don't drink it, but I brush my teeth with it everywhere. Only while in India, I used distilled water for the tooth brushing.

If I would avoid it, the first thing to protect that comes to mind will be my dick.

No.

Yes, so??

It was their problem before receiving payment. Now it's your problem.

Ever boiled a frog?

Those in power have implemented a system that facilitates bribery, corruption and cronyism?? And this is surprising??

[QUOTE=WestCoast1;3049851]Getting sick from any source (water, meats, other people) might be dependent on each person's immune system. The water in any one place might make some sick, but not others. Have been to hotels in Phils, Indo, Mexico, etc that have a sign in the CR: "Do not drink the water".[/QUOTE]I've got a cast iron guts after living in some pretty out there places. I've noticed that I don't get sick often but when I do it's really severe. Typically bed ridden for days.

Once was being stupid enough to eat Spag Bog from a hole in the wall in Cambodia. The other was water in Butuan (as I said, a known problem).

Enjoy. G.

Heads up to the viagra / cialis / "antibiotics for no reason", users:

Apparently you can get into trouble at any border if you have prescription drugs on you without the prescription.

"When the man was detained, officers reportedly found that he was carrying four Viagra pills without a prescription. " This was just a sidenote in an article about a brit causing tantrum in the HK airport, but it caught my attention.

Probably is not as bad as having coke on you, but if they want, they can charge you with possession if you have a big mouth.

Upon entry into the US, I have been questioned several times about this or that item that is labeled as 'prescription' in the US, which I didn't have a script for. One time they confiscated my Phils-purchased vitamin see pills, the other times they seemed unintrigued when I told them that I purchased them in Mexico, Phils, etc. And they let me keep it and waived me thru.

Another trick. Get a prescription from any doctor for some cialis and another for viagra. When purchasing in Phils, the pharmacists rarely write anything on the paper prescription, nor do they keep the script, they just shove it back across the counter at me and sell me the pieces I ask for. Keep both scripts with you when traveling, they are literally your get-out-of-jail cards.

Likewise regarding the water, I do the toothbrushing thing and have never had a problem with boiling it for coffee in a hotel.

Had a dodgy feed in Cebu City a few weeks ago, but popped an Imodium straight away.

Did a sizzling seafood platter in Bantayan not long after and expected it to go straight through me. Not an ideal issue to deal with when you have limited time and you're on the hunt for some talent. No probs at all.

India's surely not on my agenda Ugly.

You had to take a Normix = Rifaximin. The latter is a disinfectant, the other one stops diarrhea.

Some don't care but others will refuse very old or worn copies but they have to be pretty bad.

Trying to travel with a severe case of blue balls is never a good idea, especially if he had recently consumed a fifth Viagra pill and was unable to find BBFSCIP to relieve himself. He should have visited the ladies on Waterloo Road instead of showing up at the airport hard in the pants.

I looked it up on the map, but it goes a long way.

You can usually find some street meat within that area.

This latest offer from the Cebu hottie sounds interesting.

She hasn't hit me up for a new iPhone just yet.
