I really enjoy Boracay. This year was my third time and found it very relaxing after a very stressful winter. I've made some cool friends on the island and the international feeling is quite amazing!

Now I only need to learn Freddy Agular's song "Anak". BTW, 40% of the whole island is Korean.

So, what do you think of my sunset shot? Not too shabby for a digital, eh? Very Happy

Thanks. Who would have thought an Olympus could do this?! The island sunsets are so breathtaking!

We stayed just off the beacj at Chez Paris. Roger's an awesome guy! His pub style bar always brings some interesting personalities! Saw some old friends that I met 3~!4 years ago. It was very relaxing!

Here are a few more~ not as good though.

It would appear that a few of us were on Boracay at the same time. Were you guys the ones over sixty with 18 year olds (being generous there) on your arms? Wink

The fat, balding, Speedo-wearing scum who troll around Phils with a girl half their age are the most vile, reprehensible s h i t e on the face of the planet. They should all be rounded up and shot.


I hate to tell you, but most of those girls were a third or less their ages. I saw one geezer in a wheel chair being pushed around by a really young girl.

whatta y'all think about renting a motorcycle in the PI? Good idea? Bad idea? I did it in Malaysia (KL side) and it worked out well, but maybe it wouldn't be such a good idea in the PI because there are so many islands.

I rented one on Puerto Galera but it's really only worth doing for one day. The island has really rough roads (if it's not a dirt bike you're not getting out of Sabang) and the bike rental guy told me not to go to far into tribal land cuz I could get shot. Don't know about other islands. Better to stick to renting boats. $40 got us an outrigger, fishing and snorkel gear, a cooler of beer and soft drinks, and a couple of guides for 8 hours. I think we paid too much too compared to what other people have told me. Still, better than renting bikes and getting covered in mud as you try not to fall off cliffs and avoid getting hit by jeepneys.

Because they need the money that tourism brings in. Korea doesn't care that much.


says the cynical simple-minded man.

Anyway, I'd like to go to Palawan someday, sounds like the best spot, at least as beach/coastal areas go.

Looks great! Anyone know what's around Angeles City that would appeal to a woman? A friend has been trying to get me to go for ages now, and I've always said no, cause what would I do, while he was busy "playing" with the locals. Rolling Eyes
