That's cool
I will keep an eye open
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.
Nice...Would love to see a Jeepney in London, or anywhere in the UK.
Sadly I doubt it as would never comply with the Eurocrats emissions rulesOriginally Posted by Sim11UK

Great photo GraceI don't really want it to become another Thailand full of British package tourists, and gangs of drunken lads in their Union Flag shorts and England football shirts
Maybe it's best if we keep the Philippines a secret
i have to agree lol...some of my husbands friends dont consider phils as holiday destination they prefer thailand, indonesia and india....wonder if they know what they are missingGreat photo Grace

According to official Phil tourism stats, 4500 people from the UK visitied in 2010!!! Half must have been from the forum
The number seems a bit low, and we know how good the Phil is for keeping stats.... official road deaths are about 1 a year

4500 from the Uk in 2010, hmmm, I was 4 of those entries, I wonder how many others entered the Phil's multiple times last year?
well the less that knows about the phils the better it will be for us all
It is odd I was expecting the country to be awash with Septics and Aussies but it wasn't. Last trip saw a few Germans who obviously get everywhere, a bloke from London with his Hungarian mate who's lived in Oxford for 20 years and an RAF pilot on a weeks r & r from Doha or some other sandpit.well the less that knows about the phils the better it will be for us all
I've met the odd Yank or Aussie on my travels, but mostly in Manila, I haven't come across too many at the beach locations, but most of the whiteys I've met are Germans or Swedes. Boracay is full of Germans, Swedes and Italians. There were quite a few Brit divers staying at the Bohol Divers club on Panglao when I was there last Jan.
By far the largest group of tourists are the Koreans. A Pinoy friend in Boracay says they have 3 bar and trike prices there, One for Pinoys, One for Whites and another for Koreans.
this is crazy...does it mean me and husband would get different bill if we dine there? coz i would complain if they would charge me as they would charge whites lol
yeah, if they saw you with your white husband they'd charge you more because they'd know you could afford it
Be careful in Boracay, most of the bars don't publish the price of drinks. Most have signs outside advertising Happy Hour, but it doesnt actually say what the price is. They'll just charge what they can get away with.
Sim,there is a genuine Jeepney in the UK,a guy from kent?I think used to exhibit his at the barrio fiesta sa london.

Wonder whether he needs a conductor?...though I'm too old to jump on & off, in my flip flops with a fan of notes in my hand.
A pal of mine owns a Routemaster and is restoring a single decker Green London Country bus
Who's that...Cliff Richard?
good info..didnt know about food and drink vary prices but i am aware of room rates in the hotel...i normally book our stay under my name to get local rates...
Nice picture seen a few buses and load of Cabs over the years with Wow Phillipines on the side
At the Hounslow barrio and im sure many of th eothers they have large stalls which seem to have lots of people working on them but little to actually attract tourists wheter Phill or non Phill
Shame they dont attract more people to a country where english is spoken and most of the signs in English which many Brits who simply want a beach holiday would love!!!
Have to stay Boracay seemed so small and village like when we visited in 2004 seemed strange it was the premier tourist location
Oh lord why did you make so many clothes and shoe shops
