Default Re: Anyone to ask about living in the Philippines?

bit of a [censored] reply. i dont really know what you want to know, probably better if u give me some questions and i'll be able to answer.

i'm from the uk so i dont pay any taxes. i've been here for 4 months and i got 3 weeks left before i finish my round the world ticket.

i spent the first month travelling around and the rest of the time in manila. manila's ok, but i dont really like big cities so i'm leaving soon. I met a really nice girl here so i stayed. i live in a 5 star hotel which costs around $120 a night, its right in the centre of the cbd, near where my girl lives/works.

The women here are awesome, better looking then thai, and this place is just a horny nation. money goes so far. a night with me buying drinks for 4 or 5 people costs a absolute max of $50. there arn't that many young foriengers out here, businessmen and old pervs. i dont really associate myself with them.

theres [censored] loads of hoes, but i dont go with hoes, i dont agree with supporting the industry, but each to there own. theres plenty of nice girls around not to bother with them.

oh and nearly everyone can speak really good english. the philippines was also recently polled as the 2nd happiest nation in the world. everyone here is always joking about everything.

theres live poker here in manila. The main casino has games up to 10/20 i believe. the card rooms are really friendly too, and the standard is really bad. they also have a $400 tourney every week too. Also the appt is coming in sept for a $2500 buyin. they also have the philippine poker tour which i think is a $1k buyin quarterly or something but i'm not sure. i havn't been to the big casino, just the smaller one for small 30runner tourneys buyins ranging from $40-$250. poker is on the up here, but its a relatively new game.

in regards to poker i am able to play on the following sites here...

pokerstars, full tilt, crypto, prima, ladbrokes, boss network, mansion, pokerroom, ultimatebet and party.

however i may be able to play these sights because i'm registered as living in the uk with them.

i only play mtt's so all other sites arn't worth bothering with for me, but thats still a really good selection.

i like my girl so much i'm attempting to bring her back to england with me, going to the british embassy with here tommorow. I have to go back to finish of 9 months of uni. then i'm free!

anyway let me know if you have any questions

regards

Jaypez
