My first trip to the Philippines

[bornatbirth]

Cool idea... I will

I keep a tab on the moneysupermarket website to see who is offering the best deal, and yep.. Right now it is not looking too good.

But what if I turned up in Cebu with £1000 in sterling? Going into a local exchange place with that? From what I have read I might go away with a few light notes...

i have exchanged that much before,just count it at the counter and you can count what they give you,they dont mind i never got sort changed

Rizza always pays for the taxi, that should be the rule

If they think they can get away with it the meter will not get switched on and they will be looking for 400-500 peso for even a short trip.

Short trip of a mile or two should only be 50 to 60 peso in Manila.

always let your gf to pay for the taxi and let her get in first...and always get the meter to start.
