Hi from East London

[garfield42]

Its a lazy Sunday morning, so with a mug of coffee and a bacon sandwich I thought I'd say a big "Hello" to all you guys, I'm Max. i've been reading the posts on your forum and thought it would be a good idea to join. My wife and I both live and work in East London, we've been married for 5 years and she is originally from Manilla.

Alas, I am a Newcastle supporter! Don't ask why as I'm a born and bred Londoner. I guess I just wanted to be different?

Only just found this forum last nite, so wife suggested a good idea to join.

Just wanted to say that we went to Philippines on holiday last year, it was my first time. It was great. Best holiday I've ever had we stayed at Dusit in Makati and Fridays in Boracay. I loved everything about it. The food was wonderful, the beer (san mig light) was great, especially as it was only about 95pence per bottle, much cheaper that a pint in my local here in UK!
And all the people we met in the Philippines were so friendly, helpful and polite. Wonderful. Can't wait to go back again next year.

There are precribed medications for this condition of yours, one of them being square garlic suppositories.....

You been diddled, turned over, scammed, ripped off....

It seems that you have been charged "Kano" prices....

Hey Garfiels. I love the Dusit too; stayed their twice I believe. Great breakfasts. I had some great Singapore Slings at Fridays in Borocay. They had this amazing 2 for 1 offer. Oo la la !! You're not from Barking are you?

[garfield42]

hi, no not from Barking.
Yeah we thought the Dusit was great, couldn't fault it.
Fridays too, but we both got really sun burnt, very hot.
didnt try the cocktails just happy with the beer.

maybe we will try to visit a different part of the philippines next year.

Hi Garfield,
Welcome to the forum. You got well ripped off for your beer btw, It should have been more like 45 pence a bottle so it looks like you paid about 50% kano tax on top.

Hello garfield42 welcome to the forum

[garfield42]

thanks for the welcome everyone.
surprised to hear about the price of beer, mind you it could be to do with the places we were drinking? Gerrys Grill Makati, Dusit Hotel? Anyway I'll know next time. Mind you it was still well cheap compared to London beer prices.
And the hospitality was far more welcoming
Would be good to know of any good reasonable bars to visit in Makati for our next trip, if anyone has any suggestions? Went to Strumms in Jupiter Street, great bands

[trader dave]

welcome aboard garfield glad you enjoyed the philippines its a funny ole place where the prices change rather strangly but its good fun

[trader dave]

i used to stay at makati prime towers there are loads of bars nearby even an engish pub ? where you can get a nice indian meal in the back [could not tell you any names though]
