sanelaze Where are you from? wow the tax is quite high.So even in hotels, they dont tip? But i guess that means the servers have fixed rate salary which is why they dont care whether they give great service or if they connected well with their customer. Just a thought....

sanelaze I understand what you mean. Sometimes those people who give you service forget that tips is voluntary. it has to be earned and not demanded. It's not their right to get it. Unfortunately, since a lot of people (in the US) give tips, esp to restaurant...

sanelaze I guess that's true. But you have to admit, since there's not really a lot of people who play football here, I guess it's easier to find good football players with Filipino blood in other countries. It's a start though. Hopefully in the future, they will...

I've been living in apartments for the longest time. I like big cities and I like being close to places. This means living expense is pricey. I want to invest in either condo at a prime location or a house in the outskirts of the...

sanelaze Thanks for sharing the pros and cons. I guess Ive been used to being in the city and I only get to enjoy the 'quiet' life during vacation at my parents' house in the province. Right now my main requirement for my home would be a stable internet, cellphone...

sanelaze by travel center, did u mean travel agencies that will give u a package of rooms, activities, and transportation? it's easy to get the best deals when u've been to the place once. but in our case, we have no idea what to look for or what to expect so it's...

sanelaze Ive never been to Glan. This is in Saranggani Province, right? How's the transportation to reach this beach? The usual downside of a 'pristine and untouched' island/beach is that it's not too easy or convenient to go there.
