Manila has some nice spots too, like in the Makati district. The difference is that the girls in Makati are generally (but not always) prettier than in AC, but it's usually a good bit more expensive in Makati.

Overall, I find most of the local food in the Philippines not to be to my liking at all. The good thing is that there are plenty of familiar American franchises there. AC, in particular, was pretty much put on the map by the US military when Clark Airbase was there, and there are plenty of places to get good, reasonable food. There is an Italian restaurant on Perimeter Road that is especially good named "C Italian".

Its by far the most user friendly, and cheapest. Manila for the most part is very different and I think to really maximize it you have to do your homework on it.

As mentioned the girls are prettier in Manila, theyre smarter and more Westernized. They can hold a somewhat logical conversation for the most part.

In the end I guess overall they have more to offer, and the city itself gives you alot more options with nightlife, leisure, and cuisine.

I usually mix it up between AC and Manila.

I haven't been to the PI, but would love to. I am going to Korea for a year in a couple of months, how far is it from Korea i wonder

I think in the 3-4 hour range.

I have a friend who teaches english between Korea and Japan. He always complains because half the time his flight is only 200$ or so cheaper then mine from New York.

Getting raped on airfare in Korea seems to be the norm from his statements.

But my God, Ive had the opportunity to transfer to the South Pacific, and damn, I dont know if I could handle living in Jakarta or Hong Kong, or Southern China. Id never make it to work

Well being raped by the airlines is something i am used to over all these years.
I don't want to go to Korea, nor would i ever live in an asian culture, i'm in the service so, i pretty much have no say in the matter.
I like my latin culture, and my thick and juicy latinas!

I pretty much agree with Hunters assesment. Philippines blows CR away in all respects particularly if you look for the gfe type girls. Also agree that some of the women have a latina sort of look and a lot of variety of body types there. The weather is actually not to bad from November to February whch is high season. I is a bit hot in the middle of the afternoon but outherwise not bad and humidity is lower than outher times of year with very little rain. I can't wait to get back but it is a hard trip. rbc100

Some of the women in the PI could walk into the DR and you would think they were Ticas. It's because of their Spanish bloodlines. (More common in Manila than in AC.)

PI used to be a Spanish colony before it was an American colony, and many of the words in their native Tagalog language are derived from Spanish but often spelled differently or have different meanings. For example the words "porkay" (Tagalog) and "por que" (Spanish) both have the same pronunciation and mean the same thing. "Guapo" (Spanish) and "gwapo" (Tagalog) mean the same thing.

One word that really throws me at times is the word "derecho" which in Tagalog means "straight ahead", not "right" as it does in Spanish. I kept shouting "Derecho! Derecho!" to a poor taxi driver one time, but he wouldn't turn right and kept going straight ahead! He looked at me with a look as if to say "I am going straight, Dumbass!"
