Manila isnt exactly the upper reaches of the amazon nor Borneos Low's Gully,you dont exactly need a guide to find your way around,get a guide book and ask questions here,voila you have dispensed with Spencer,he is now out of the equationIf he is a Mensa member does it make him a better guide?Some of the brightest people I have met had no street smarts and couldnt find their way from one end of the street to another,get a guide book,hire a car and driver,your problems are now non-existant
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.

It's just that I'm a sociable person who likes to make friends wherever I go. I had a great time in Hong Kong staying with a lady there in her flat - didn't know her from Adam before I went. Last year I went to Moldova for a month and stayed with a lady I'd never met either, in her flat.If he is a Mensa member does it make him a better guide?Some of the brightest people I have met had no street smarts and couldnt find their way from one end of the street to another,get a guide book,hire a car and driver,your problems are now non-existant
It works both ways. Returning by train from a trip to London on Sunday, a lady fresh over from Poland to work in the local hospital asked me if she'd be able to get a taxi from the station. The answer was no and as it's 2 or 3 miles from the town with no buses either along a dark, isolated and narrow country lane, I gave her a lift. She didn't seem at all worried, getting in a car with a complete stranger.
Dispense with his services if he is causing you worry,you dont really need him,its easy to meet people in Pinas,sit in a Jollibee and strike up a conversation with the family munching spaghetti on the next table,or sit on a street corner in Baclaran and chat to people working on the market,you will fit in fineA cloven hoof in the groin takes all the fun out of a trip
Just enjoy yourself and try not to worry too much

I agree with Tawi, it's very easy to meet people in Pinas. There are many good ones but there are also some who will take advantage to you. It is strange, in Pinas, if you are white, they always think you are millionaire.Dispense with his services if he is causing you worry,you dont really need him,its easy to meet people in Pinas,sit in a Jollibee and strike up a conversation with the family munching spaghetti on the next table,or sit on a street corner in Baclaran and chat to people working on the market,you will fit in fine
The hard part in Pinas is never meeting people,its politely extricating yourself from their company when you feel claustrophobic and want a little solitude and "Me time"
