Hi Steve.r, a big thank you
I am going to write something else in this post rather than create a whole new thread.....
Normally when I travel to meet someone for the first time, I book a hotel. This is partly out of common sense, but also for personal safety reasons. The lady who I will meet in Manila wants me to stay at her family house rather than goto hotel in Manila. In the past this has normally been a big "NO!" for me, when meeting someone for the 1st time from the internet.
Have any of you guys ever stayed at the lady's house on first visit/meeting?
As I write this, it seems like a crazy thing to do. For now, I have neither said yes or no to the idea, however I think I will be saying no.
