There's a lot of stuff up in Valencia including a shrine to the Japanese war dead. There's a "museum" on the way up there that is crammed with...
I have found some nice plastic color charts for identifying fish that can be taken under water on dives. Unfortunately, I can't find any for the...
I know...I'm laughing when I write . The problem too ,with any literal communicating, is that the visual and verbal clues are absent that will...
I told another Pinay that my elderly mother was in a nursing home and it would really cheer her up if she would send a picture of herself on the...
I went out with three Pinays one night last March. Three or four of them started howling laughing. They couldn't stop. I insisted on having the...
I think I need to start a new thread on the fact that Filipinos don't understand our (Western) humor and from what I've seen of the Philipino...
Sorry Progmeister...various versions of the same story have been circulating for decades and are therefore fabricated... Anyhow, nobody seems to...
If you do decide on Siquijor, when you go up the road from the peer, turn to your left and start asking people where the GuestHaus is. It's a...

I also realize that there are some who would disagree but a night at the WhyNot cafe seems to be the choice of many expats. For my tastes, it has...
I agree that Sumilon and Bais could be dropped from the intinery. I don't see any great need to go to Sumilon snorkling if you are going to Apo....
I think maybe that this was the solution to my problem a couple of years ago with the same BS. I think the telephone agent through this obstacle...
The South Seas is a very appealing looking place. Very quiet area but it's definately off the beaten path and not an easy walk into town. I...
By the way, I befriended an Aussie last March who hired a couple of prosti's for some late afternoon sex. These girls are notorious hookers on the...
I'm surprised nobody mentioned the Coco Grande but I suspect that was what was being referred to as the "new hotel next to Harold's Mansion". In...
I ran into the same bullshit here in Canada and it all came down to ignorance on the part of the booking agent. Unfortunately, I can't remember...
Sure... email me in January and we can get together. I had also promised some samples to a Belgium scientist. Oddly enough, the Philippines hasn't...
