    Nephew going to study in pinas.

    My nephew is off to study a 6 month course in pinas,i popped into the institute last week to check the facilities which are acceptable,and they informed me he will be charged more than a local student due to language despite the fact the course is taught in english I didnt argue,whats the point,but the next time a pinoy gives me the white people are racist spiel.............................

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.

    Ah yes...the Poriner tax.

    He is in his early 20's mate,he is doing day release at the moment at college,pinas 6 months solid study is a better quicker alternative,he is half thai so asia is comfortable to him,he likes ladies so i am certain he will enjoy his stay

    Sounds more like a resident tax, rather than anything to do with language.

    A very similar things also happens in the UK. My kids (British citizens) would be charged around 4 times more than a 'local' (includes foreigners) to study at University in the UK. Costs a lot less here at the government run Uni

    I studied in a government run Uni and I think the most I've paid is around 1500-2000 pesos. It was on my last year and the fee was for miscellaneous stuff as a graduating student.

    Because it's the Philippines, armed guards in KFC, Dunkin Donuts, Jollibee, in fact everywhere and also I remember the first time I went to Philippines I was shocked and terrified because it was the first time I had ever seen a real gun in my life and I had no idea why there were armed guards in almost every store and I still don't know why also bars on the windows of the houses, I'm sure that's a message to the tourists to keep away it's not safe, I'm afraid I can't live in a country like that, glad I'm in the UK!

    THanks arthur,he is settling in just fine,he has been there 3 weeks tomorrow and has already had 2 girlfriends,he thinks the food is ok,the weather is fine,and the place is interesting,he has even been to a church "because I was drunk when she asked me,so i said yeah and went along for a bit of a sing and that" he dumped that particular girl because 4 days after he had met her she told him she loved him and wanted to move in with him,he said "She was a bit clingy"

    I remember sitting inside Pizza Hut in Fuente Cebu and having two armed guards outside with machine guns.

    At least my pizza is safe I thought.

    Oh,maybe i was mistaken,when he said he was bringing a pussy back i naturally assumed he meant a cat he has some app on his phone that allowed him to meet up to 5 women in a single day,he has had loads of women problems due to taking quite a number back to his appartment,they turn up at the most innapropriate of moments like 3am in the morning when he is entertaining someone else
