    That's great mate. Am flying out to Cebu 29 Nov, then the next day to Ozamiz City to meet my new girl.
    Am so excited.
    It seems I can get an International permit from the Post Office for 5 pound, 50!
    Will do that tomorrow to be on the safe side.
    They drive on the wrong side of the road there????

    although, if you don't get it, just make sure you got a few thousand peso in your wallet at all times, you should have no problem as EVERYONE has a price in the philippines, and you can get almost anything by making some palms greasy!

    Dumaguete is excellent,great for kids as your always close to a beach,good department store super-lees(first time I ever went there it was simply called lee-plaza)I cant speak highly enough of Dumaguete,I was there earlier this year and always make a point of stopping there on a trip



    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.
