Re: Just Booked Tickets to Egypt and the Philippines this Month! (Cairo & Palawan)

GM, I think you mean Makati not "Makaka" and that's where you want to be. BTW, what's up with all those 'amps' in my quote ? ps: LA Cafe is now called Manila Bay Cafe, is 20-30 mins from your location, and it will entirely obviate your need to visit AC. I'm sure that there are some good jo...

Re: Stolen Sony Xperia Z3 (Black) Smartphone - Phnom Penh

Some credit cards insure your purchases for 6 months or more. A drunk customer dropped my iPhone when he wanted to switch my bar's music over to his and Amex credited me back the money I paid for it. One 5 min call took care of it.

Palawan is the best place I've been in SEA & AC is probably the worst. I imagine you will be going to El Nido. Take day trips to the islands nearby. Kayak out to Cadlao Island. Tay Tay is pretty as well. There is a great 5 star hotel there for drinks & pool on a perfect beach. Check out Coro...

Re: thai DL

^^^^^^ Great post. No clue about a KTM. You can rent a dirt bike for about $20/day. For around PP, IIWY I'd just rent a Dream for $5.
