Papa Carl Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 TR, you have my sympathies, better you than me. My suggestion is that you accidentally get lost in a taxi all by yourself, and then come up to AC and have a visit, I am sure we can find something that will interest you.

Paul_QLD Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 The aquarium is an aquarium is an aquarium ...I have only ever seen two, one in QLD Australia (three times over 15 years) and the one in Manila. Not a lot of difference between the two but enjoyed the experience, mainly because I hope one day I could catch the fish I see swimming about in them or think they might be the next ones that get away! Gets you out of the heat for an hour or so. Intramous was an interesting walk and horse buggy ride, but then again I find a taxi ride in Manila an interesting experience :) For some reason I have it in the back of my head your not a (heavy) drinker, nor am I, but I find sitting in a bar having a coke aimed at expats/tourists sometimes interesting if it's not to busy that its too hard to find someone new to talk to. There is a midget boxing bar I want to go to that I haven't yet ... maybe you can tell me all about it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard they are short staffed. :) I understand they're short shafted as well. Perhaps Mike S will chime in - he's done some amazing research on it. Only the Shadow Knows........he, he.

This is where the Boss will probably ban us forever when you have two sailors ribbing each other. Regarding the upcuming movie, it's gonna be a late production. The submerged camera is stuck up your yahoo -- the movie is entitled Blazing saddles, Texas style.....he, he. Now regarding Manila, I wouldn't want to go there, even using your appendages. The traffic on the coastal road leading to Cavite is pure road anarchy. A few San Magoo should get you properly motivated and offer pain relief for your headache....he, he. Have fun and stay safe. And watch you stern when you're in reverse, OK? Damn Spruance class sailors -- Jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tukaram (Tim) Posted November 28, 2013 Author Posted November 28, 2013 Well I was able to postpone the trip until after christmas. The airfare was crazy high during the holidays. Base price was p2,500 each way, after the holidays the p600 tickets are still available. And there are more hotels available too. It is still Manila - but at least cheaper ha ha But my girlfriend is very excited about the trip... she says they have good malls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonSun Posted November 30, 2013 Posted November 30, 2013 Stay in Makati. Glorietta & Greenbelt malls are very nice. Ayala triangle. Some good bars & clubs. Greenbelt also has some cool restaurants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tukaram (Tim) Posted December 2, 2013 Author Posted December 2, 2013 We got it all worked out! We go to Manila, and I leave her with family for christmas - and take my gear to Subic for some scuba diving! Now I just have to see if any of the dive outfits work on the 24th ha ha. Kind of worried about Score bar being raided - makes me nervous about staying at the Arizona hotel. Subic dive recommendations?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
