    I try to bring absolutely everything I think I will need in electronics unless I am absolutely certain I can get it without much fuss in the Philippines but it sounds like a fun trip to go browse electronics. I know some people who browse home improvement stores for fun and other people who go to electronics stores. I like to do both.:smile:

    Not sure I would call the market a place to browse for home improvement items but a couple streets over there are several blocs of different specialty hardware stores which I also enjoyed walking past and browsing.

    I used to know some 'yachties' who live at the dock in Carmen, near Danao. It seems to me they just took a sail out on the water and then came back and registered at BI once again.

    I'm wondering if a fellow could go along for a free ride then go to BI and tell them you bin der dun dat. Anyone on this forum tried that?

    I call this myth busted because I looked at my passport 10 seconds ago. There is no exit stamp last time I left on a tourist visa. No stamp from Hong Kong because they don't do that any more. All there is to see is the last renewal stamp and then a re-entry stamp. Which is what I am saying this may be what the yachties do. They just go to BI and say they were out sailing to (pick a place that does not stamp visa) and they are back now and reporting in.

    Guam is a short trip and good shopping. No immigration problems either. You can also send Balikbayan from Guam. I lived there for 3 years back in the 80's good beaches and hotels.
