Hi SweetLoveForeve, Ahhh, memories, such sweet memories of the Phillippines. I remember my tour of this beautiful and hidden treasure of Asia during my Navy years. My ship was part of a U.S. task force back in the early 80's that made the Phillippines a port-a-call. Of all the countries in Asia, I harbored deep emotional attachment to this beautiful country with its lush countryside, scenic beaches with its friendly people. But even with its third country rating (at the time), you could experience the richness of its people through its modesty and how they approached life in general. Yes, I did experience the ugliness of poverty over there, but, what country on this earth hasn't been visited by this horseman of the Apocalypse? The Filipino's are living symbols of a proud people with a strong hold on their culture and tradition. They have some of the worlds beautifully, educated and shy girls in the world. But to answer your question on expenses, yes it is true that the round-trip airfare is quite expensive (if you aren't frugal), but, once you arrive everything is pretty much the same in price as it were back in the 80's. Perhaps $5 more, but nevertheless, it is quite inexpensive, if you know where to shop or have a guide with you. For those who like to party and drink, the night-life in the Phillippines is second to none. And speaking of parting, you will have no problema in meeting, dating or (whatever) of fine, beautiful girls in the city. Personally, I preferred Subic Bay, but, Manila is fine too if you're into the sophisticated types. Yes, I would definitely pick the Phillippines as the country I would like to visit more. Just a suggestion, consider having a friend or relative accompany you over there in the Phillippines. And when you do arrive there, make sure you visit your country's embassy and register your visit (never can tell). Don't take anything for granted, even if you do have friends over there. Of course this will all change if you have relatives or family roots to the Phillippines. Well enjoy your trip and be safe. Mabuhay.

Hi Sayariza, Don't worry, with the way the current economic system is going in the United States, we will surpass you in prices real soon (perhaps it already did happen..lol) Good luck.

I really want to go to a country where food is cheap and good like Mexico. I really enjoyed my time there. Really relaxing and great vacation all around. I haven't been to an Asian country yet unless you count South Korea when I was only a year and a half so I couldn't remember anything so I think visiting China would be cool or Thailand since I love pad thai.

Yeah I was only a year and a half old (toddler) when I went to South Korea. I wish I could remember. I'd want to visit there too, but I feel like I should learn the language first. I can only say a few things and it's a problem because I look Korean.

I have lots of different countries on my travel wish list. I have traveled to more than fifty different countries in my lifetime. I feel so lucky but there are more places I am hoping to visit in the future. Most of all I would love to visit South America. I would like to go to Cartagena De Indias in Colombia, Rio De Janeiro in Brazil, the Galapagos Islands and Machu Picchu in Peru. The Philippines is a country high up on my travel wish list. There I would l like to go island hopping and snorkeling to coral reefs. Also in Asia I would like to see the Taj Mahal in India and the Great Wall in China. I would love to visit Japan but I know it is very expensive. In Africa Madagascar is high up my travel wish list. I wish to see the wild animals there. I hope to go to Egypt to see the pyramids from ground level. I have seen them from the air when I flew from Kenya to England via Egypt. It is challenging to visit every country that I want to this year. Over the rest of my life I hope to be able to visit all these places. In my early travel experiences I went to nearby countries first and then on cheap flights. Then I did a couple of working holidays to keep costs low.

I have been to many countries in different parts of the world. Oh yeah, each and every country is unique in its own ways. The two countries I feel like visiting again are Austria and Switzerland. Very beautiful and fascinating. There is no comparison to the Swiss Alps. Very scenic and stunningly beautiful !

I think I'd like to visit Japan because of the peaceful ambiance of the provinces. The culture in some provinces is very prominent. I love how they serve tea, how they cook things traditionally. I just like Japan in general. I also like the street fashion and I like the Harajuku fashion. I can get so many inspirations from there because the people are not afraid to experiment with how they look everyday. I also like the people there, they are very smart and friendly. I think though that the majority of the reason why I want to go is the food they serve there. I'd really like to try authentic Gyoza from apan as this is my favorite dish in Japanese restaurants. I think also that the people there re just gorgeous. Japan I think is one of the greatest places on earth. I'd do anything to go there :D I'd even dress like a lunatic to go there :p

Paris is an expensive city but cities in Eastern Europe like Prague and Budapest can cost far less. I recommend getting a cheap flight and camping or staying in youth hostels.

I'm pretty sad that I haven't been out of my country till now. I want to travel, and love to do so very much, but sadly, I'm trapped, because of lack of money, and also lack of vacation. Sometimes I just admire those people who travel a lot and have been so many places. For me, I cannot name out which one is the country what I like to visit most. Because I'd like to go so many countries. But England is a good choice. I always love the British English accent and it's beautiful nature view which I saw from their BBC records.

for me, Philippines is the best country you should visit more because it has so many good places and nice places. I'm from Philippines. a certain part in the Philippines but i haven't gone to many places here in our country it's because we are separated in a group of islands and amazingly almost each island has a different filipino languages. Philippines is a very nice country when it comes to Tourism thing and it has wonders of the world. If you go at the center part of the Philippines which is the Visayas part, it has so many places such as the Chocolate hills, which is belong to one of the seven wonders of the world. On visayas part, you will also find the smallest monkey in the world which is the tarsier. Philippines has many beaches to be visited to those who loved beaches, here you can find some. The upper part or the Luzon part is where you can find the capital of the Philippines and it has more developed part than the other part of the Philippines. I can't explain how nice is the Philippines, all i can say is if you have money to go there, if you love to go to nice places, and if you want to have vacation, just go to Phiippines and you will see the truth! I agree with you because you love Philippines. The people is also respectful and responsible. Thank you very much! and goodluck!

aw thanks so muchy^^ yes i heard about the chocolate hills already^^ is so cute name^^ maybe i can go there^^ and yes different languages i know that there is bisaya, tagalog, chavacano and other ones ahah^^ the smallest monkey in the world thats nice^^ and yes pinas seems to be amazing and is my dream to go there^^ also my bf is there waiting for me^^ and yes the beach seems awesome^^ and i dont have money right now but im saving for it ahah ^^ is my big dream right now to go there^^ and yes i do love pinas^^ and yes people are so sweety :) the most part^^ thanks so muchy for your answer^^ is very sweet that you explained so much about pinas^^ and wish that soon you can visit more places in your country^^
