Belated Happy New Year everyone
I got back home last night, and had another wonderful time with my mahal in the Phil's. I did a lot of travelling this time and crammed a lot into 13 days. Hong Kong, Macau, Makati, Tagaytay and Lake Taal plus Palawan. 8 flights, about a dozen boats and far too many bus, jeepney, taxi and trike trips meant that I didn't really get to see as much of the sun as I wanted, but it was all worth it to spend some time with Elaine.
More good news ! Welcome back Ian

More good news ! Welcome back Ian
Ian,Looks like you had a wonderful (busy) time....inc meeting the "boss"!
Yes, it was very busy, too busy to be honest. I'm pleased I went to HK to see, but it took up too much of my time and really I would have preferred the extra time with Elaine.Indeed Doc,

HK is i great place, but getting quite expensive and maybe not the best place to explore alone!
Glad you got to Macau...i haven't been for a few years. I won the F3 GP with Coulthard in 91!
As you say very Vegas!!
Looking at ur pics though there is so much more fun to be had exploring the Islands in Phils!
Best of luck to you & Elaine...
Ps no ides what to do about you ankles!!!!
welcome back ian...seen the pics..nice!!!

It really does sound like you had a very busy schedule.
Maybe you need a holiday
HK is expensive now, on par with Singapore. It has a very British infrastructure, and is very efficient...in complete contrast to the Phil's. Macau is really just an Asian Vegas, very plush and OTT, I'm glad I went but wouldn't bother going again. I did like HK, and would like to go back with Elaine, but 2 or 3 days there is enough for me, as it is in any big city, Manila included.
It's nice to see other countries, but exploring the islands and cultures of the Phil's is where my passion really is though.
As I've mentioned elsewhere, Ian ... it's great to have you back ... but where are the photos of you and Elaine that Grace refers to above?
That trip went in the snap of a fingerHope you enjoyed it?Did you spend new years in wanchai or visit the statue square pinay picnic?
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.
Welcome home......wow sounds like your feet didnt touch the ground.
Remember , every day now is a day closer untill you see her again
Now that's great thinkingRemember , every day now is a day closer untill you see her again

''Don't be serious..Be Sincere''
They're on FB Arthur. I have tried to add you from the link on your profile here, but it doesn't work.....you must have blocked meAs I've mentioned elsewhere, Ian ... it's great to have you back ... but where are the photos of you and Elaine that Grace refers to above?
Far too quickly Tawi.That trip went in the snap of a finger
Yes I did get down to Wanchai, but it reminds me of Singapore, over priced beer and if you venture into a bar you get pounced on by a dozen girls who all want you to buy them watered down ladies Drinks at about £30 a go
I liked Honkers, but for City life, I much prefer Makati....and I got to eat Crocodile at the Krocodile Grille at Greenbelt in Makati
Yeah, I tried to update my status as much as I couldwelcome back Ian!! we didn't miss you that much as we see that you are happy having your holidays with Elaine in Philippines via FB

Kung Hei Fat Choy Englishman! So glad to hear that you had such a great timeBelated Happy New Year everyone

I like Makati too but just spent xmas and New Year in Bangkok and fell in love with the place. Did`nt get to see as much as we wanted as I think I had the flue while we was there but the place was buzzing and felt safe to walk around.I think the Philippines would do well to take a lesson from Thailand and develop its tourism.Far too quickly Tawi.
