    My Wife loves Work as all her friends White,indian and African think she is super slim. They are also jealous of her as she can often buy kids clothes, but I guess the Wife is lucky due to the huge Indian and Chinese populations living nearby many of the trendy shops stock huge numbers of smaller clothes to meet the need.
    So i think my Jolibee and chow king tour of phill is off

    That throws a different light on the matter...

    We didn't go to Ging Gings as the food in TSDs new restaurant was so good.
    White Sands Resort where we stayed 2 years ago has been demolished.

    The "world famous" still standing after 15 challenge at Sunsplash has changed from shots to beer. None of us thought we could knock back 15 San Migs in under a minute so we didn't enter.

    A good time was had by all by I really did miss the wife.
    Thanks.....
    What is TSD's BTW ?

    How many nice threshers circled you?

    My wife was in Malapascua a few days ago (she has family there) and told me that there are few guests arriving. Did you think it was quiet too?

    Malapascua - there's a little place on the beach run by a German man and his Filipina wife called "Hippocampus". The food there was the best I had on Malapascua - Rochelyn & I had the Pork Adobo a few times and it was always excellent, as was all their food

    Diving on Malalpascua - "Dan's Dives" is always good and Dan is quite a character - a very laid back American and fun to chat with. He has a deal where you get a free days diving after doing a certain amount of days with him, and his boat is never as crowded as the others.

    The passenger pumpboats now use the beach around the corner from the main beach as there were too many boats and it was dangerous.
    A lot of the seafront properties were taken away on bounty beach as they were too close to the sea, which was a nice touch.
    Walk to the lighthouse one day, the children in that area are a lot of fun and you get a great view of the island. Actually, a walk around the whole island doesn't take too long and it keeps you fit and healthy.

    There is an internet cafe in the Japanese restaurant but don't expect to see a web page updating in less than 5 mins.

    Make sure you get to Maya before about 4pm for the public pumpboat to the island. If you don't, wait for other stragglers to join to split the "special trip" cost, but looks like you are travelling with a shed load so that will not be a problem.

    Daanbantayan, where Rochelyn and I got married is very small, but has a market if you need anything, otherwise a bus to the bigger town of Bogo gets you to Guisano Supermarket, banks and ATM machines and many shops.

    Sharks - "Thresher" comes from how people used to thresh crops in the old days - it is how they "whip" their long tails to stun their prey.

    Buy a large water (25 l ?) from B.B's Lodging. Water is from the mainland and is very safe.

    Great diving

    hiya,
    have you got any links to the places you have mentinoned above? thank you

    TSD= Thresher Shark Divers. They have a new building with a proper dive shop and a bar and restaurant on the top. It's between Blue Coral and Bluewater resorts. The restaurant had only been only 3 days when we arrived and they were still training the staff. The menu is good but I told the manager it needs at least one Filipino dish per day.

    We only saw one Thresher. I put a video of it on YouTube.

    There seemed to be a lot of coming and going while we were there but it wasn't mega busy. Some days we had 12-15 on the dive boat.

    Hiya,
    OK, I have seen the new shop
    Next time, go with "Dan's Dives" - I never had more than 5 others with me on any dives, and this was also in the high season. Dan's set-up is much more low key and hence friendlier.
    Too many divers = no threshers
    I saw three on my first dive, maybe one was the same later as earlier on.

    I will search for your YouTube Vid

    Thanks for the link, Dom

    Would you give up smoking if you could get up close and personal as in this vid?

    These sharks are truly awe-inspiring when they come to have a look at you.........

    I am supposed to be at the top of the food chain...... and not the other way around.....

    I kind of admire people that do stuff like that, but when it comes to sheer lunacy as to tempt fate........ Forget it.....

    The law of averages tells you that you can only do it with impunity for a while....
    Sooner or later you are "the" breakfast....

    Unfortunately the people at the top of the food chain have eaten most of the fish further down the food chain so the people at the top of the food chain who merely want to dive and look at the fish lower down the food chain are disappointed.
    So the locals who financially benefit from us divers may end up losing out if the fish stocks are depleted as the divers won't come. So the Aholes chucking dynamite in the water will cause everyone to end up with nothing.
