Old thread: >>2708592 Discuss everything related to Philippines travel here.
Can someone recommend a cheap hotel with a bathtub not too far from Manila airport? I just need to stay one night for my transfer
>>2713394Cheap hotels don't have bathtubs or even shower stalls. It's standard for the water to splatter all over the bathroom floor.>>2713388Tranny janny is back with a vengeance, the last PH thread full of /b/tardation got nuked and your thread looks awfully retarded with no picture.
>>2713444I'm not really surprised it got nuked. People were just arguing about nothing related to travel, then some sexpat larper began writing abusive short stories that never happened everyone to which kept begging for more
>>2713394>Can someone recommend a cheap hotel with a bathtub not too far from Manila airport?Holiday Inn Express Manila
>>2713472wow its almost like the janny was doing his job or something
>>2713612you seem to omit the blatantly obvious sexual innuendo and shitpost tone of the post and the historically sex obsessed nature of phg threadsjanny made a good call to kick coomers to the curb
>>2713609Forgive us for being surprised, it's not something we see very often.
>>2713684The fried chicken is pretty good.
>>2713687Yeah sure but you can’t get a buttermilk biscuit with it. They have Popeyes in Manila but why would only to Manila for Popeyes when I have it in my town?
>>2713687>>2713692Regarding fried chickenJollibee = KFC > McDo > Popeyes > ChowkingMaybe KFC is even better than Jollibee.
>>2713698Popeyes is always top of the list retard. And people in Manila can get Popeyes.
>>2713704Die asshole. I tried their fried chicken in Manila and it was barely edible.
>>2713704>>2713705I might rank it on par with McDo if you insist, but not any higher.
>>2713711both me
Uncle John's > all other places you can get chickenSorry, but that's just how it is in this bitch if a map.inb4 POOPeyes and NIGGERS (kfc) apologists start screeching
>>2713698Tried a Chowking fried chicken meal once, was very disappointed in price, flavor and quality. You can find much better at a local place. >>2713609Yeah, that's exactly the problem. >>2713615Excuse me anon, you have some janny shit on your nose.
Tasty chicken curry & rice meal served in Intramuros by some very friendly people at a collection of stalls. No, it isn't served all blended together like that, but it's not always you get such a generous serving of meat & sauce with the rice. After eating my same-old home cooked slop for the past month, Filipino street food is sounding awfully delicious again.
>>2713772I hate the plastic bag thing. I know that worrying about microplastics while in SEA is silly, but I can't help having a deep visceral reaction to being handed hot food atop a plastic bag.
>>2713771I can smell the shit
>>2713775You should be more worried about the intestinal worms than the microplastics.
>>2713869You'll be fine. Just take your anti-parasitic meds. I ate loads of Sushi already here, so do other wealthy Pinoys. They're still alive & so am I.>>2713772Should see the vegetable oil they use to fry it. Loads of it in street food.
From a few threads ago>Dude don't worry anon everyone speaks English in Philipiines!Fuck you guys, have you ever tried doing anything here that isn't just straight up cooming?>land>had shit seat so shoulder is hurting something bad also slight headache>figure out watsons is a drug store>check online they have Tylenol, figure might as well pick up some melatonin to help sleep too>find one has ads of painstuff outside, greeted in english hello sirs>cool english, go ask for the two specific things by name>they look confused, not sure what I mean>'uhh y-you' too I'll just look around>can't find them w/e pick up some razors>1/2 a second after I stop walking hello sirs are you looking for thing?>Razors I found them thanks>"Shaving is on isle 3" and points right Infront of me while I am holding the ones I want>wtf>go to the counter ask for shit again>lady confused comes around and points sayings "condoms?">wtf, no state it again even make hand gestures to my head and arm>points to allergy medication and cough drops>do see advil and get it though not sure why that's mixed with condoms>go to another one>same shit only this time they try to give me multi vitamins, or Vitamin C supplementEqually stupid shit has happened at any restaurant I visit that isn't full on Kenny Rogers, shit back in the US, or machine order. Like even if you point to shit their critical thinking skills are so unbelievably low it's actually impressive. Went to a grocery store to have some items at my airbnb and the people were acting like I was lost looking for booze rather than just getting actual food and supplies.Also: FUCK how bad pino's walk, like they have absolutely 0 situational awareness I have never seen so many people not understand I am walking towards them, or just randomly stop and stare off into the distance in my fucking life.
>>2713982>Not saying I'm one of them, but I do live here.Where the fuck can I get some melatonin/sleep aid?!?!? Not sure if there is a term I should be using>A foreigner of middle class ~ upper class means realistically belongs with the upper class of the country also.Yeah I gave someone a 100p tip when getting some shwarma wrap(was looking for watson stuff) cashier lady looked at me like I made her weekend then threw in 4 wraps over the 2 I ordered, like okay? thanks but I don't want to eat this much shwarma... Like damn lady they were 198p a pop and I just didn't want the change.Also the Christmas music threw me for a loop I thought I was still drunk from the plane
>>2714010>Where the fuck can I get some melatonin/sleep aid?!?!?At Watsons
>>2714030Went to 2 of them, showed them the shit on my phone and they both looked confused as shit to what I was asking. Maybe the afternoon staff just really sucks hard.
this country is so depressing and fucked up I don't even want to talk about it anymoregoodbye, faggots
Any good places for Western style bars and pubs?I have some friends here who are taking me to local places so that's under fine but wanting to just hang out with other white people since I haven't been back in the USA in almost a year. I don't want to say I am homesick but could go for something like a US sports bar that isn't fucking BWW. Some of the last pubs I went to were just filled with Chinese trying to talk english.Staying in Makita if it matters
>>2714055you mean makati you fuckin goof?go to poblacion in makati and look around, a bunch of western style bars and pubs there
In the same spirit as the previous anon, where do the rich people dine in Manila? Ideally restaurants with a dress code. I am assuming Makati as well. I am looking to dress up for dinner and whatnot.Anyone here has experience with that, or should I be the one to bite the bullet and compile a list?
Sorry lads, decided to go to Buenos Aires instead next month. Maybe next year, faggots
>>2713388Why did the pic get removed? It wasn't even that spicy
>>2714166See >>2713615
I love my filipina and am excited to bring her to America through the K1 visa process. Don't be shy bringing your filipina back to the States. If you picked a good one, she'll be loyal to you and treat you right.
>>2714169Wrong retard. Check the archives faggot. If you don’t know how to do that then stop posting like a fucking idiot.
>>2714186It beats crippling, near suicidal loneliness and involuntary celibacy.
>>2714186barely any mid class
>>2714218There always a middle/upper class. Mid class = working office jobsUpper middle class = own businesses.Now entering those social circles is the problem, but if flips in the West can do it, why can’t you?
>>2714161You made the right decision, anon. BA for all its faults is leagues better than Manila.
Hey guys, first time traveling internationally. I'll be in Manila for about 3 weeks. The first two I'm working, but the third I have free and was planning to take a trip to Japan for that time, and get two trips in one.I have to be back at MNL Terminal 1 by 23:30 on the last day. How much time should I give for my return flight from Japan in order to get out of the airport (will likely be flying back to Terminal 3), get my bags, and get back over to Terminal 1 for my flight back to the US?I see return flights that can get me there at 1:00, but it's hard to find info online if 10 hours (assuming no delays) would be enough to get out and back in.Should I just fly back the day before and get a hotel by the airport?
>>2713970If you can't communicate verbally with English-speaking children, you are the problem, not them. I spoke simple English in short phrases, and Filipinos rarely had any issue understanding me. One time I asked for one of the fried eggplant slices but got a fried egg instead; evidently eggplant isn't called eggplant in PH.>not understand that I am walking towards themLMAO, sucks to be a fat mutt who needs a whole yard of clearance just to pass someone by on the sidewalk. Filipinos give about 18" of space typically, which normal-size humans can fit through just fine with a little swivel motion of the body. Nobody's gonna want to clear the whole sidewalk for you just because you're a lardass.>>2713921Yeah, it floats on top of the sauce. Some places use a lot more than others.
>>2714240Ended up booking a flight that gets back at midnight the day I leave so I'll have 24 hours to get a hotel, get some rest, and get back to the airport.
>>2714235I know Singapore will always be there. In some ways, I fear it.
>>2714314kek thislow level office workers earning 200-300 dollars per month aren't "middle class"
Anyone going to Cosmainia or Komiket?
I thought this thread was about travel and not about Filipina mail order brides for dorkers?FYI never marry a pinay. You actually get less out of them if you marry them and get them pregnant.

anyway, is jollibee the best fast food burger experience in the ph? or is it still burger king/mcdo?

>>2714745>White KingThat has to be an edit.
I had sex/10Would recommend if white.
>>2714745>>2714757>>2714763>>2714790>>2714828I wish i was white. I would give up the ability to consume seasoned food for white power
>>2714828>>2714745Unreal how the Philipinos have "White King" as a brand. They truly are white worshipers.
>>2714844Yep. If a Filipino has two children and one is slightly more pale than the other, they will treat the darker child like absolute shit and treat the white one like a treasure. They perpetuate this broken psychology even if the parent was the darker child when they were growing up.
>>2714828Slightly exaggerated, but it's true that NAIA is the friendliest airport in the world. Everywhere you look there are cute friendly girls with their airport worker badges willing to help travelers with any issues.>>2714872Prolly set up cameras in the locker room or something. >>2714691Nobody here is in PH, that's the problem. >>271471025 peso pinoyburgers with 20 gram patties of mushmeat are the best, obviously.

>>2714999Trips beat dubsBut repeating pol memes doesn’t mean pol is rent free. It’s actually super cringe to be a white supremacist who could only get laid in the Philippines. At least own it proudly like Art Bell and not be a racist about it.
Have a sweet time anons
>>2715400Philippines has some amazing restaurants, at least Manilla does. I had some very sketchy club sandwiches in the province, though.
>>2715400The shape of that plate alone tells me this place is ridiculously expensive, kek. For food, the cost increases far faster than the quality does when you try to go upscale, due to the lack of competition at the high end. Whereas for rooms, a moderate increase in cost (50% or so) gets you a far better place.
>>2715945>The shape of that plate alone tells me this place is ridiculously expensiveIt was fairly cheap at 1150 pesos per person. Great selection of food and very calming ambiance at Holiday Inn.>Whereas for rooms, a moderate increase in cost (50% or so) gets you a far better place.Definitely. So does the amenities and the free breakfast buffet. The best hotel in Makati for me would be Ascott.
S-So g-g-guys how about them Philippines, huh? Let's n-not make any controversial posts..
This is a Philippines thread. It is about the Philippines.
>>2715542>Philippines has some amazing restaurants, at least Manilla does.manila dining mogs rest of country
Any Jewish bros want to meetup? https://www.jewishphilippines.net/about
>>2716069I found decent stuff in any of the cities with a decent sized population. Philippines dishes themselves are more miss than hit, but you can find a decent version of pretty much anything you want for other food varieties. Maybe I just have low standards from being here in goyslop central, USA.
>>2716069>manila dining mogs rest of country>>2716439Philippines dishes themselves are more miss than hitAgree to both of these. Manila is far better than the rest of the country. Problem is it’s still not good. A perfect example is how “The World’s Oldest Chinatown” has nothing but Terrible Filipino renditions of Chinese food. Everything is still a “miss” in Manila. You can fly up to Japan and any humble truck stop will have amazing food for a great price. https://youtu.be/LELteoPcvz4
>>2716594I'm an American who lives in Manila, currently back home in U.S. visiting family - but I am seriously considering living in Japan, Vietnam, South Korea or Malaysia. I'm 27, make 10k USD per month (self employed). Manila is overpriced. Our condo in BGC for a 2 bedroom was 75k PHP. The issue i had with BGC, was the fact that you had to live there or Greenbelt. Otherwise, you see homeless, people living under bridges, and stray dogs everywhere. So, they charge a premium for a pretty decent place to live but part of me feels I can do better.
>>2716598Mind telling a pleb what you do for work?
>>2716616No. If the market becomes crowded then we high earners will earn less. Fuck that.
>>2716679It’s not hard. Filipinos are about on par with Mexicans for English speaking skills. They will be able to understand you better than you can understand them. Just be patient because most Filipinos have the mental capacity of a small white child. Download the Grab app and use your American Credit card. In fact, use your US credit card for everything and save your Philippines pesos for when you really need them. Convert about $1000 USD at the airport. It’s one of the few trustworthy places to convert money. Book an international hotel close to Mall of Asia. Preferably one with an Airport shuttle. If they don’t have the shuttle than book a Grab before you step out of the airport. Once you step out of the airport you will be bombarded with overpriced scam taxi drivers and baggage handlers who will demand a tip.The Grab app will give you a description of the car and the plate number. Just wait for the driver. Once you get to your international Hotel you will have your base of operations. You do not tell your online girlfriend exactly where you are staying. Doesn’t matter how in love you are, you will have zero rights in the Philippines. You can use grab to pick her up and bring her to you. You can use it to go to the Mall of Asia. I recommend having a separate hotel for rendezvous. Doesn’t have to be as nice as where you are staying.Manila is no more dangerous than a city full of black thugs. The main difference is the indifference the local law enforcement will have for you. So you have to keep your head on a swivel. Don’t use public transportation like a Filipino. Pay for a grab car.
>>2716679Do you even have a passport yet?
>>2716701Several inaccuracies in this post.>convert about $1000 USDThere's no need to bring cash or change it at a currency exchange in 2024, when ATMs are everywhere. If you want to buy a lot of street snacks, change the 1000 peso notes for 100 peso notes with a bank teller.>on par with MexicansUntrue. Nearly all Filipinos speak intermediate level English; you do not need to know Filipino to get around PH. Whereas 90% of Mexicans do not speak any more than a few English phrases; you really do need to know Spanish to get around Mexico outside the gringo resorts.>city full of black thugsManila doesn't have stickups and drivebys, more hustles, scams and the occasional pickpocket. Unlike ghetto blacks, scrawny 5'4" Filipinos with no muscle tone don't present any meaningful physical threat to your person. Wallet belongs in front pocket. Keep your passport in your hotel room when out and about.>baggage handlers who will demand a tipThis part is accurate. Don't let anyone, uniformed or not, take your luggage from you. >pay for a grab carYou can also use the Joyride app to hire a car or a motorbike (if you are alone, feeling adventurous and don't have luggage).>>2716679Get your big city shoes on. Everyone, from an 85 year old grandpa to a 8 year old girl, who approaches, solicits or tries to befriend you in Manila is up to no good. Don't even listen to what they have to say...tell them "no", or "no thanks", and shake your head while pursing your lips in disapproval. If you want to make friends or do business, do the approaching yourself.
>>2716712Hey genius I meant Mexicans speaking English in the US. He clearly said he has never left Kansas. You really need to work on your reading comprehension. And stop giving advise to people until you can read
>>2716712This dude is retarded. Do you really want to be using an ATM in a third world country?Do you really want to eat their nasty street food?You got sound advice from>>2716701This guy >>2716712sounds like someone who probably can’t even drive a car and shouldn’t be giving advice
>>2716616Lie on the internet>>2716712ATMs have a really low maximum withdrawal amount so not bringing cash is going to get you killed in fees.
>>2716810Serves you right! That’s what you all get for bullying him and laughing at him for nearly an entire year! That cuckshed picture WAS NOT FUNNY!
>>2716825Who’s the cuck now ricecel brownoid?
>>2716825>I've been on 4chan since 2007 and have never been hit with a warning.Damn. Imagine being this much of a domesticated little niggercattle peasant. Lmao.There is a certain type of bitch who wears compliance like a badge of pride, that's you.
>>2716842>>2716844Imagine being this much of a humorless autist that not only can’t you get the joke, but you also sperg out like a fully disabled schizo!
>>2716812You think I can be defeated with some shitty images? You think I can be defeated with mere words on a screen? You are wasting your time lmao. What part of insane didn't you understand? Literally fucking insane. You say I'm oversharing but I already told you I would never reveal any actual insecurities and if I'm not even insecure about being outside the bounds of sane normal human behavior what makes you think saying cuckshed over and over is going to do anything to me? I don't care anon. I already said I love my life. I wouldn't lie about that. Your words don't change how I feel about it. I don't care about your faggy car or your boring life in Bulacan or your ugly wife that would leave if you stopped giving her money. Those are your insecurities not mine, faggot. I get to live without those problems because of the path I chose. You're forever a slave to your money. One dip in your standard of living and it's all over. Not a problem for me! Never has been never will be.
>>2716862Ok, go a week without the internet then. And after, a month.
>>2716723>Do you really want to be using an ATM in a third world country?Yes it's fine. I lived in manila 2yr and ATM was my way of getting PHP. Credit card and remitly for everything else.An ATM in BGC or eastwood is just as fine as an ATM in Seattle
>>2716832>>2716842>>2716844Getting into anon fights online is pointless and dumb. I've seen the angry autist persona cliche thing over and over and over for years and years it really it just makes me sad. You can't be a happy person to be like that. Trying to hurt others because you're hurt inside just makes you hurt more in the long run. I hope you had fun typing though.
>>2716886Do you know what's really sad, how Filipinos generally don't take any pride, in anything. I walked along the Baywalk this morning, and for that whole mile or so, I saw lots of people running or cycling or whatever, and it was just all covered in shit and falling apart. Except for one place, close to the US Embassy. There was an old Filipino man sweeping, and it looked decent. Not new, but not falling apart. Why don't these people, that use that, or any road or sidewalk, take just one little moment for upkeep? Then, you wouldn't have to walk in shit, or spend as much money on new concrete, or wait forever until big daddy government does it for you.
>>2716870Sick burn bruh!
>>2716862Keep telling us how happy and not insecure you are. Tell us again, cuckshed!
Don't book a hostel in PH they said iTTIt's crap and horrible book a apartments they saidMeanwhile in the realworld airbnb apartments>Power got turned off randomly because owner 'forgot' to pay the electric bill>water shut off because ??? maintenance downstairs assumed no one was living there and had to prove I was here>security gaurds in buildings trying to get tips or waste my time to check into my airbnbs because 'coming and going at 3am is very unusual'>complain about roaches at place 1) no response for a while before telling me to go down stairs and pick up a trap 2) basically says they happen>AC is tolerable at best though constantly icing over>garbage at these places are in the basement meaning the smells rise straight up through the elevator shafts>microwaves barely work>even though it's basically a hotel split between condos and hotel rooms no room service possible>hosts refuse to speak on the app want to use whatsapp or viber constantly for discussing any issuesWow... so glad I listened to this thread and didn't do a 'shitty hostel' private room, this is SOO much better. Does anyone here actually visit for more than a week of cooming? Like shit man this blows.
>>2716939I told you to get a hotel room at an international hotel.
>>2716941You know how much that would cost? My initial booking was sub 300 bucks for a month, then the hostel was 350, then everyone talked me into a 400/mo 'condo' room. Then everything else was sky high due to short notice for booking a month. Now it's DUDE INTERNATIONAL HOTEL. Half this place is technically an international hotel as it's OYO, and it still fucking sucks
>>2716945You sound too poor to be traveling. If you are on business then you can expense it. Sorry to hear you are as poor as a flip. Maybe just try visiting Alabama next time
>>2716947Anon, I was looking for a cheap break while letting some Visa shit reset. If I just wanted to spend more cash I would have entirely skipped PH and gone straight to Taiwain, though I got a good deal at the time for what was 300/mo place with my airfare being dirt cheap. It was more of a "well cheap enough to give PH another chance" since the last time I was here I just got really sick and couldn't venture out much.
>>2716939>>hosts refuse to speak on the app want to use whatsapp or viber constantly for discussing any issuessounds like you have a chink host. many chinks buy condos and apartments in manila.
>>2716945Actually I specifically told you to get a hotel for a few days or a week and scout out places you want to live, and to absolutely never book month+ sight unseen.I also told you to go to property manager in building you want to stay in and ask if rooms are available and if you can see one. You deliberately ignored my advice and chose to fuck yourself in precisely the way you were warned not to.
>>2717012This only happens when janny/mod has a personal stake in things.
>>2717099I mean if you wanna fuck middle schoolers that's on you but I'm dating an adult so I don't really understand why my posts got nukedI'm pretty sure I even mentioned university..?
>>2717122Give it a rest.He is desperate for female companionship.She is desperate to escape the Philippines.It is a mutually beneficial arrangement.
>>2717114I'm against marriage in general. Why clip your wings as a man? It's nothing but cons, and more cons. But, it's fine to fall in love here. Love eventually fades though. I don't believe in extremes.
>>2717114Pinay-worshipping manlet simps aside, did you find any iota of appeal in Vigan? How 'bout the Ilocoan cuisine? The empanadas are all right in my book. Reportedly there is a historic district in Vigan, but from the bus it looked like any of the other sweltering shitholes along the Manila North highway. I had zero desire whatsoever to leave my comfy seat in a deluxe bus with tinted windows to trudge around in that hectic sea of tricycles and motorbikes under the blazing sun.
>>2716945>technically an international hotel as it's OYOLMFAO at the ignorance of this anon. "International hotel" refers to a luxury global chain with standardized amenities, i.e. Holiday Inn, Hyatt or the Four Seasons. OYO is an Indian brand that slaps its label on most budget hotels in the Philippines.
>>2716723Get real, faggot. Your advice is stupid as all get-out. No way in hell is it safer to carry around a thousand fucking dollars on the streets in Manila than it is to withdraw pesos from an ATM as needed. There are tons of banks in Manila, it being a capital city after all, and they all have modern ATMs that have never given me a single issue when using a foreign bank card. >>2716714>uh, I was referring to the English proficiency of Hispanic Americans!Nothing worse than an ignoramus with a snotty know-it-all attitude who doubles down on their ignorance when confronted with facts. >>2716791BDO atms have a 25000 pesos per transaction withdrawal limit. That's nearly $500 USD. The fee for withdrawal, 250 pesos or under $5. With a bank card tailored for international travel, the ATM fee will be refunded. Hell, even my free no-fee checking account with TBK Bank refunds all ATM fees. You have no excuse for traveling without a bank card that refunds ATM fees. None. It's guaranteed that you will get a worse deal exchanging US dollars for Philippine pesos at the cash exchange rate. Plus, you have to wait in line at the pawnshop, show ID, fill out a form, etc.
>>2717170>anon thinks holiday inn is a luxury hoteloh god
>>2717176Actually dildo, your average flip speaks English on the same level as the Mexicans working in Kansas. I know because I lived in Kansas too. And every international hotel gives you a safe. You put your money and passport in the safe and only take small amounts of “walking around” money.Your problem is you are very stupid and not a seasoned traveler. You think you are an expert from staying in the heavily policed and sheltered BGC. You don’t know what you don’t know. And you are too arrogant to learn.
A bunch of cranky ass people in this thread. Maybe try laying off the degeneracy, and going to bed early tonight. In fact, let's mandate that for everyone in the Philippines. All jeepnies will be prosecuted with extreme prejudice. Let's see how week everyone's brains function tomorrow after that. Maybe we can begin cleaning this country up a little by little.
>>2717243Don't know why auto-correct decided inserting week into that sentence was what I wanted, but here we are. A productive week, begins with good rest at the end of the previous one.
>>2717243>>2717246Welp, it's 12:30. 30 minutes into the Sabbath for a nation that is about 99 percent Catholic, and if you wanted to go to sleep, bless your little heart. People are drinking in excess, and having unprotected sex out of wedlock, and it doesn't matter if you didn't want to participate, because they don't respect you, and they're forcing their life down your throat. I bet there's a good hundred more children that are going to be born and raised on the streets after tonight. Good thing the previous president cracked down on drugs. I hope the streets magically get fixed. Lots to celebrate here. Hell of a utopia.

Nobody worships your paypigging abilities here.>>2717194Just pull your "walking around" money from an ATM. What's your hangup over the easiest and most convenient method of getting local currency? As I said earlier, any bank card worth a damn will give you PHP at the mid-market rate.A Korean guy in my apartments in Balibago had his whore clean out his room safe of 3000 dollars of pesos. He must've left his keys on the nightstand while he was taking a shit.

How to know if a condo is likely to be quiet?With respect to wall/ceiling/floor insulation and neighbours (both in and out of the building)Are larger apartment complexes quieter than say 2-3 storey ones, due to thicker walls?How do you know how loud the nearby shacks will be with respect to dogs, roosters, music?
>>2717764There’s no insulation here. SEA world construction techniques are all formed concrete pillars and slabs and hollow blocks. They will then cover everything in tiles and veneers. The plumbing will always smell like shit and you always hear noises. Midnight videoke and 150cc motorcycles that sound like John Deere tractors because flips want their bikes to be LOUD to compensate for their tiny brains
>>2717764Any condo by ALVEO and AyalaLand Premier will have respectable soundproofing.
>>2717776Exactly what type of soundproofing?
>>2717764I've lived in PH on and off for about 4 years now. Basically it's a crapshoot. If you find a good apartment that is QUIET you fucking hang onto it with a death grip. It's a process of trial and error and finding an apartment not facing a busy road on a high enough floor to escape other noise. If you can get a place facing an inner courtyard then its usually decent, but again you will have issues with dumb faggots blasting music off their balconies at 3am, and then its up to you what you want to do about it.
I love Philippines bro science like getting sick if you get rained on, or gargling with water if you get a cut in your mouth. It's just so funny.
>>2717898>get pneumonia if you're in the rainI had someone say that to me in Thailand. It's 90 plus degrees outside. My mother saying that when it was 10 below zero in the snow playing football was actually rooted in reality.
>>2717901Or taking over-the-counter medicine like ibuprofen as preventive care
>>2717768Showers without drain traps - allowing the sewer smell to permeate the room - are a huge problem in Mexico, often an issue in the Philippines as well, but very rarely encountered in Thailand or Malaysia.I've encountered a few insulated rooms in SEA - you can tell because the room will stay cool for a while after you turn the A/C off.
>>2717711Stayed in Angeles City about a week, it's full of scumbags and the only place in Southeast Asia I vowed never to return to. The housekeeper and security guard for JW Apartments (in Malabanas technically, not Balibago) were both very friendly. She warned me about the women lurking around on the streets of the neighborhood - evidently both diseased and dishonest - and remarked on how strange it was for a solo white male in the Philippines to not be a coomer. It's a testament to how untrustworthy the locals are that even a budget apartment complex of seven studios had 24 hour security at the door. The studios were very well-furnished for the $20/night price, but the lack of a window and the noisy A/C units had me sick of the place after four days.
>>2717677where's the layover? that's how i would decide
>>2717961Why did you go to angeles if you aren't a coomer? It's only purpose for foreigners is as a brothel town.
>>2718074Nigga that applies to the whole damn country!
>>2717711Cubabro here...I don't know how many times I have to tell you niggers, DO NOT bring whores to the hotel room/apartment with all your shit in it!They have short time hotels which can be rented for about 300 pesos for a few hoursSometimes being cheap can be expensive
Heading over to Manila in a few months for a few months. Until I get bored. Any tips?
>>2718606Pornography is illegal.
>>2718903If you increase the suffering in the world, do you think that will make you more happy. Capable of experiencing more joy. If the world is covered in shit, you live in shit. It's probably time to stop being a toddler, and start thinking about the long run.
I'm tired of staying in bgc. What are some other places in Manila that are good enough?
>>2718937big gamer cock (I have this)
>>2718937there arent any better places. time to try the provinces. Go visit Tagaytay.
>>2718274Cubabro,you seem to have a high sex drive, how do you deal with that while at sea?>Porn, masturbation, girls on board, retooning, gay shit with fellow semen?
Can someone tell me why this country is so iffy about who takes card and who doesn't>go to convience store near my place>711 and uncle johns takes card>go a few train stops down>no cards cash only (Pasay)>go to place to eat>Army Navy or Jollibee because fuck it>ones near my hotel takes card, these one cash onlyBunch of other times run into similar shit what the fuck gives?
>>2719104they are retarded monkeys dude. You must not be much smarter to not have figured that out yet. you will srive yourself crazy teying to figure them out. they hobeatly believe you will get sick and possibly die from getting rain on your head. but not from the flies that feast on the dogshit and garbage and land on their food while they eat.
>>2719104The only time I find it irritating, is when I'm buying something, or things, that amount to two or three times the amount of money they make in a day. I ask them bluntly, how much do you make in a day? How much money do you normally carry on you? Do you normally have two thousand peso in your pocket? If they ever ask why do I want to know, I tell them that I'm tired of giving someone a thousand peso bill, and they always ask if I have a smaller one. I had a lady give me three hundred pesos in 5 peso coins, because she, like every other fucking business here, doesn't have enough money on hand to cater to their customers. And this isn't in the provinces or the slums of Manila. We're talking the richest part of the entire country. The center of commerce. The largest financial district. I'd like to see someone deal with this shit every hour of the day for a week, and not snap.
>>2716594>You can fly up to Japan and any humble truck stop will have amazing food for a great price.You can even fly to Singapore for like $50 with Jetstar and pretty much any hawker centre mogs the food available in Manila an at a good price.
>>2719350yep I finally got some decent chinese food in the Philippines. Thats because I found the Panda Express at Mall of Asia. I have tried all if the famous Chinatown slop shops in Binondo and everything tasted like cheap flip garbage. The sad fucking state of this shithole. Panda Express totally Mogs your ignorant pinoy pride. It was pcked with filipinos too.
>>2719104Using your card for POS purchases greatly increases the chance of fraudulent transactions. Other than a couple hotel payments in Taiwan, I use cash for everything. >>2719305Breaking your 1000s in a bank is the best option in the Philippines. They usually have plenty of crisp new 100 peso notes on hand. I only use 1000s to pay for hotel rooms and bus fares, as the driver's assistants usually have a thick wad of change. Even 7-Eleven is often short of change in PH, because everyone tries to pay with 1000s there.
I'm going to marry a Filipina
>>2719504>I’m going to marry a Filipina……>and her entire family.
>>2719504Is she the eldest daughter of the family? Is so, then she is the family mule. You will become the eldest son an be responsible for supporting every financial need of your in-laws. You will not have a happy marriage if you do not. And no, you will not be unique and convince your pinky otherwise. She has been brainwashed her entire life to fulfill the role of the family mule. You will not break that conditioning without destroying her entire personality and losing her.
