    Well Folks time is flying by, and I will be in Cebu in little over a month.

    I have been reading that I should leave my small appliances home, do to the voltage conversion, my thoughts are; can I hardwire a converter to my present appliances, or glue the converter on each on so there is no mis-stakes?

    Not sure of the cost there, thinking I will buy converters in Cebu, before going on.

    I keep hearing about BEER, what about Vodka, and how much for a 1.5 liter. I am a VK man. VK--> Vodka and Kool Aid,:smile: with my luck probibly can't get the Kool Aid.

    Also I have a 40 inch LCD TV, I paid $700 on sale, normally $1050.00, when I checked prices for the same TV is was about $2500.00 there. At that price I could ship it via Fed Ex and still be ahead of the game.

    I plan to buy a new Laptop, so that should cover the computer issue. I have a sucessful online business and want to continue with it.

    Your input would be greatly accepted.

    Cheers, Rod

    there are several Vodka Outlets in Duma but I can't say anything about price-level.

    The price for a new 40" full HD LCD TV is just above 50K (around 1,100 US$), same for 42" Philipps.

    Thank You Rhoody. Not sure about Phillips, I guess they are all about the same.

    anyway, I saw Kool Aid drinking powder in a mall, didn't look for it specifically, so don't even know where but it must be available here in the PI. It's a "Kraft"-product, would not wonder if even produced here...

    V & k

    Now that brings back a memory or two!
    Turned on to Vodka & Cool Aid in 1966 Viet Nam. In those days I was traveling on a "M 16" Pass Port. Now days I need a $60.oo visa and a pass port to inter Vietnam.

    There are many different flavors of Tang powder You can substitute for kool-aid.You can also use Gatorade. I use both when I'm in Dumaguete,but I mix it with Antonov Vodka made by San Miguel.To Me,Antonov is just as smooth {if not smoother} than almost all of the Vodkas I've mixed with.Best of all,last I checked it, was around P120 per bottle on average,even cheaper when I bought it at "Times" there in Duma. As a tip: Buy the gatorade in in the 8-12oz? Glass Bottle {yes,glass bottle} drink a desired amount down,add Vodka at will and simply screw the metal cap back on between sips......
