Like I said the beach & resort were very quiet, almost ghost-townish. For the first few days we were the only people at the resort. It was just toooo quiet for my liking although a quiet beach is nice.Originally Posted by grahamw48
Mainly that it was very quiet there, but of course some (like me) prefer it quiet, so not necessarily a negative.
its dragon air from hkg to crk (no IFE)...
Average flight prices from UK to the Phils haven't actually increased over the past 20 years ...to put things into perspective.
Phils domestic flights have though.

of course now these offers are no longer available

Someone was telling me that new flight prices come out today (being the 1st of the month) so it may be worth having another shop around.

In Abu Dhabi there was a really big wide tiled 'shelf' in the bog.
I was thinking it would have been a great place to put my sleeping bag if I'd had it with me.
Dont think there are any pods- there are lounges but not sure you can have access if only flying economy http://www.sleepinginairports.net/mi...ama.htm#lounge http://www.lonelyplanet.com/thorntre...readID=2010050 contact ur airline about hotel ,we have 9hr stopover in dubai and have free hotel/transfer etc.

don,t worry i went through exactly the same thing as your about to do ,its very daunting to go to a place like the philippines on your own to meet someone for the first time.my g f was hiding behind a concrete post at the airport coz she was that shy haha it was her sister who approached me first then she had to coax my very shy g f out from behind the post lol btw shes not shy now haha .the worst bit for me is the hotel room bit lol .but once the formalities are over you should enjoy the experience good luck and enjoyOh yes thanks fort that
Thanks for your advise guys

I go upstairs and exit at the 'Arrivals' door, walk over to where the locals are waiting and sit down and light up a fag...taking in the pleasant stench and heat of Manila.
After clearing my head for 10 minutes, flag down one of the taxis that has just dropped people off, bag in , meter on and away into the land of madness, adventure and beautiful women.

The ones they sell in the Phils are very small.

Of course not.
I've never declared anything in my life.
Neither I think have customs at Manila ever even looked in my bag.
How are they to know they're not for your own use anyway ?
