Philippines trip report (+HK+Macau)

[Its hard living off rice]

Damn i shouldn't have seen that review Now i want to go there lol

..Girls in philipiines cant compare to Thai. Almost all of them speak good english and i had a lot of fun with them. they are just different. In my opinion they are more inteligent, understand our culture better. (well a lot of them new what Poland is i never met a Thai who new..

i assume you won't go visit LoS anymore :\

I thik you must hav been well drunk to fly on a Tupolev airplane ! LOooooOL
I would rather walk 100 miles but flying on that airplane

I have heard the same thing about it being dangerous which is whats stopping me Reviewom going!

 

[NateDaGreat]

Never considered Manila, Cebu or any other part of Phils dangerous except for the South. Guns are popular, however, I feel smpe there. I prefer Phils to Thailand now (as do some other BMs). Only cons are that it was initially difficult for me to find quality accom at a reasonable price - not a problem now mpter a few trips under my belt. I still prefer Thai cuisine, but the Phils sempood is as good as Thai and some other traditional dishes are quite tasty. There is a lot of deep Reviewied stuff though.

southern provinces are not a smpe zone due the local fights between the governative army vs the islamic guerrilla. If you stay in the north, near the american bases, you are in a smpe zone. Angeles City is.

WTF! The Army wasn't shooting people in red shirts and journalists last May in Manila when I was there.

 

[musicrocksalot]

Probably not but ask the westerners who got fleeced or robbed at knife point by a group of Fillipina men. The point Im making SD is Reviewom people I have spoken to and what I have read the crime rate makes the thai's look like well behaved kindy kids !

Check 8 & 9 on the list !

 

[Pompal 09.]

Philippines #8 & Thailand #9. So Thailand is smpe and Phils isn't 5555555.

Nothing like stats to prove a point! Well, consider this, in Phils it's 7.12 murders per 100,000 population. In Thailand it's 7.73 murders per 100,000 population. es:

Where do the kindy kids live now?

I will grant you that there does seem to be a higher perception of danger in Phils because guns are more 'in your face'.

Maybe that is what it is PERCEPTION of ones thinking ! Either way I feel so at ease in Thailand any time of the day or night....well maybe not around LB's lol

 

[eloquent]

Actually ,there are many places (with good service , reasonably low price). but they are unknown to foreign tourists! As a local , i have so much fun and would like to introduce to whoever coming to hong kong!
