Never went to Beirut,never had any reason to otherwise I am sure I would have.
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.

No sarcasm at all Jamie, I used to live there just outside Beirut in a place called Baabda.

I just want to travel around the world on a magic carpet !!! My DNA ethic origins show I have Polynesian and Melanesian so perhaps a visit to those two areas but such a pity they are so far away
Managed to do 20 different destinations in Europe & Canaries this year as well as Thailand but giving flying a rest for now.
I once sat on a camel blanket spread out on top of a Pakistani bus going up the Hunza valley and pretended I was on a magic flying carpet as the views and scenery were so utterly mind blowing

Maui?On the beach in Maui
Perfect... where's that?
What activities have you participated in Pinas, Tawi? Keep it clean please!2 Weeks time off for a month in the cold
By the way, have you been down the eastern coast of Panay yet? I know you've been to Guimaras because I've heard you mention it.
I'm thinking of doing a road/island trip between Guimaras and Masbate.
Outer Hebrides.Maui?
Seriously it's part of Hawaii which is outer my price range at the moment.
I was kidding hence the wink

What do you mean mate, what activities? I have done a bit of diving, microlighting and a paramotor flight if that's what you mean. Pinas is geared up for diving but not for the other 2. There's a paramotor guy down in Polomolok but he is so far from anywhere I don't think he did his market research before starting up. More like he got the house in his wife's area then added the paramotoring as an afterthought, not a good idea

Common sense might have helped. I remember reading on another forum about a guy who was thinking of opening a business ( a cafe I think) somewhere between the above and Marawi. This was when the conflict was ongoing. His wife was from the area originally but he himself had never been to that part of the Philippines.There's a paramotor guy down in Polomolok but he is so far from anywhere I don't think he did his market research before starting up.

Diving with thresher sharks in Malapascua, diving in Blue Hole in Romblon, climbing Mayon volcano, thrill seeking on top of the Crown Regency Hotel in Cebu, Tubbataha Reef, banana boat in Boracay, paintball with the Abu Sayyaf etc. etc.
Climbed Mayon, saw the secondary eruptions back in the early 90s, climbed Kanlaon, Apo etc. Banana boat and the Crown Regency aren't exactly high adrenalineDiving with thresher sharks in Malapascua, diving in Blue Hole in Romblon, climbing Mayon volcano, thrill seeking on top of the Crown Regency Hotel in Cebu, Tubbataha Reef, banana boat in Boracay, paintball with the Abu Sayyaf etc. etc.

I was joking about the last two. Crown Regency is home to Sky Adventure.Climbed Mayon, saw the secondary eruptions back in the early 90s, climbed Kanlaon, Apo etc. Banana boat and the Crown Regency aren't exactly high adrenaline
You should have been joking about that "sky adventure" as well

I wouldn't know - I'm scared of heightsYou should have been joking about that "sky adventure" as well
This is more scary for sure. It's in China.
Don't be afraid of the heights, just be afraid of the falls.

Not my cup of tea..
I`m not scared of heights and was climbing ladders and high scaffold for years but doing that stuff for no money is just plain stupid I reckon.. Better to watch it on a good HD Telly IMO.
Saw an excellent BBC documentary about high rock climbing in Venezuela
Now these guys have balls of steel...Ones you can kick hard and badly injure your foot in the process.
I have his book on climbing, he was into it long before he became a wildlife presenter.

That looks interesting (the programme I mean).
Apparently there's a mountain in Bhutan that's never been climbed due to the difficulty and with it now being illegal. 7th highest in the world I believe.
A wee bit more exciting than the Regency Hotel "adrenaline rush", eh Tawi?
Copy these guys and that tenner is all yours
In all honesty, I stopped standing on the edges of tall buildings, not because I felt fear, I didn't. I actually enjoyed the sensation, but because I had a horrible compulsion to jump and try to fly

I've done a few tests Mr Tawi and it seems that you're suffering from basejumping syndrome therefore I've prescribed you a wingsuit.In all honesty, I stopped standing on the edges of tall buildings, not because I felt fear, I didn't.

Available at all good chemists.
