Computers and phones are pretty universal these days. Your concern might be power plugs and sockets of the country you're going to.

 

Good idea. He may be having a reaction to the alcohol (diabetic perhaps) or he may have eaten something besides alcohol that made him sick or he may just need a blood transfusion to replace the alcohol in his arteries with real blood. :-)

 

Some resorts are very busy during dive high season so not as enthusiastic for welcoming walk ins. Many like Bambulo, not a dive resort and a nice pool, in Bacong

 

These guys are pretty ballsy, the drug lords were too until Duterte said the 4 magic words... "You're on the list"

 

If it had been a pinoy he would have been released within 24 hours.

My ex and her sister were staying in a room for rent after our breakup (here in Dumaguete a number of years ago). A BF of a friend that occasionally hung out at their place during lunch break from school came over pounding on the door demanding his GF come out who wasn't even there and of course didn't live there. My ex's 16 year old sister was the only one there and the guy was drunk off his @ss and making her scared. She finally opened the door to show him she wasn't there when he said he'd leave if she wasn't no problem. My ex's sister opened the door and the guy punched her hard in the eye giving her a black eye. We went to the police and pressed charges me as only a concerned friend who's assisting with their education and they went and arrested the guy. 12 hours later they released him and texted us they were releasing him as it wasn't a serious charge. Talked to the captain and he said we needed to get a lawyer and press charges against him ourselves as it was out of their hands.

And no, this creep wasn't connected or anything of that sort. Just the police didn't want to hold him any longer then it took to sober up.

 

My work is a huge component in shaping who I am. Because I don't have an actual job, I can largely choose the direction of what to work on. That means the possibilities are endless for now and in the future. I doubt I will ever quit working as there will always be something that I can find to work on. Keeps life interesting.

 

I wonder how much of that water is being lost to crappy infrastructure or user negligence. I remember meeting a Peace Corp worker on Panglao Island. He had a PhD in Engineering and was doing some volunteer work setting up water systems for people in the hills. He said they needed to charge for the water, otherwise the people would just leave the water running all the time.

 

Absolutely agree. Sovereignty is IMO a right of all free people everywhere. A little off topic i think, but Obama should keep his big yap closed about The Brexit on his visit to England too.

 

Hi all,

I just made a forum account. It doesn't have full access to messages yet but should very soon. Please send a private message. Also thanks for the advice about the tourist visas , I thought volunteer would be allowed - shame that it isn't. Well, there's no harm in chatting to a lady about cats right. thanks !

 

I can see one possible way that it could be more dangerous to have traffic signs and that would be if visitors expected them to be obeyed.
